The ever-present fear of being defeated in the dungeon by enemy Pokémon and losing half of your money and some of your items in the process, will keep you on your toes. But, if the worst happens and you are defeated,you can often be rescued, either by nearby friends over a DS Wireless Connection, or by faraway friends using a password and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. A successful ‘Friend Rescue’ means that you won’t lose any money or items!
As well as rescuing fallen friends in their games Explorers of Sky features extended wireless gameplay options.

New ‘Special Episodes’ enhance the story of the series, and allow you take control of and see the world through the eyes of other characters that shape our hero’s adventure. Buried secrets of the Guild Members and other events that happened outside the main storyline will also come to light.
There are dozens of mysteries waiting to be discovered and unravelled in this latest game in a much-loved series. Throw yourself into the adventure when Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky launches across Europe on 20th November for Nintendo DS and DSi.
