'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team''' and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team''' are two versions of a ''Pokémon'' spin-off that utilizes roguelike gameplay in the style of Chunsoft's Japanese ''Mystery Dungeon'' series. Each version was available for a different system, with ''Red Rescue Team'' being available for the [[Game Boy Advance]] while ''Blue Rescue Team'' was made for the [[Nintendo DS]]. These games acted as the beginning of the ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' subseries.
+
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team''' is one of the games in the first set of the Pokémon Mystery Dungron series. The different versions were made to increase interactivity between gamers.

=Gameplay=
  
The player has their own home near Pokémon Square. At Pokémon Square, there are a number of helpful resources that can be employed for dungeon crawls, such as an item shop, bank and storage. The player can take on a number of missions and travel to different areas that are unlocked over the course of the game in order to accomplish these missions. These dungeon areas consist of multiple floors that are filled with enemies. Battles are turn-based, but take part in the field where even steps taken by the player count as a turn.
+
The game consists of a series of missions. The player can accept a mission, assemble a team, and carry out the mission. A successful mission will increase the teams rank as well as earn them a reward. Sometimes, there will be a chance to recruit a new Pokémon to the rescue team.
  
The player's Pokémon form can be one of sixteen Pokémon (including all of the starter Pokémon from the first three generations) and is decided by a quiz taken by the player at the beginning of the game as well as the gender chosen by the player. The player can then choose one Pokémon from that pool of Pokémon (excluding Pokémon of the same type as the player character) to act as the player's partner. The partner character acts as a loyal friend. In dungeons, both the player character and the partner have to be kept alive, or the player could be ejected from it. Players can recruit other  Pokémon at different times throughout the game, but they must obtain Friend Areas to house them. The player can assemble a party of up to four Pokémon for exploring dungeon areas. By completing missions, the player can increase their team's rank and earn rewards.
+
==Connectivity==
 +
''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team'' can connect with ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]]'' with the Wonder Mail feature. Using Wonder Mail, players can exchange missions.
  
The two versions of the game are mostly similar, with one of the main gameplay differences being ''Blue Rescue Team'' utilizing the DS's second screen. As with the main games, there are some Pokémon that are exclusive to each version. The two versions can connect to each other with a feature called Wonder Mail, which can be used to unlock Pokémon from the other version. Wonder Mail could also be used to send out SOS Mail after a player fails at a dungeon, which can summon another player to rescue them.
+
=Version Differences=
  
''Blue Rescue Team'' also had a wireless feature called the Unknown Dungeon, which can be used to find rare items, and it can also connect to copies of ''[[Pokémon Trozei!]]'', which will trade Prize Coins to that game in exchange for random items.
+
Each version of the game has several exclusive Pokémon. Also, ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team'' has a few features that take advantage of the DS's two screens.
