To the game
In contrast to the other Pokémon games, there are no people in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. The player controls a Pokémon himself . Instead of being a trainer, you work in teams to help other Pokémon in need. In the course of the story you will learn the real reason why you became a Pokémon and what kind of job you have to do in this world.

Starter Pokémon
In the games Team Red / Blue, Exploration Team Darkness / Time / Sky, the starter Pokémon is selected through a personality test (questions to the player) at the beginning. While you can choose the starter Pokémon directly in Portals to Infinity, there is only a small selection. The personality test returns in Super Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, but its result can be ignored by choosing another starter Pokémon.
The following starter Pokémon are available:
