Game Boy Advance/Nintendo DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team is the first main video game in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in two versions with slightly different content, on two different platforms.

In addition to their original platforms, both versions were available on the Wii U Virtual Console before being shut down on March 27, 2023. Red Rescue Team alone is available for rental through the Nintendo Classics' Expansion Pack subscription.

Red and Blue Rescue Team is a 2D, top-down, sprite-based Pokémon world. The Hero is a human-turned-Pokémon who befriends a local and forms a Rescue Team together.

They go on numerous adventures, represented in-game by "Jobs" where they rescue fellow Pokémon from Mystery Dungeons, bring them items, escort them to their loved ones or friends, and fight hostile Pokémon and collect loot in said dungeons.

Dungeon gameplay is turn-based, while gameplay in the overworld is free-flowing; however, town characters tend not to move like their dungeon counterparts.

The main story features numerous boss fights and dungeons, where players level up and retain their levels for subsequent adventures. Throughout the story, they unravel the mystery of how the Hero character became a Pokémon and save the world.

Post-credits, new features and mechanics are unlocked, such as evolution, level-reset dungeons, and traps. Additionally, new items are introduced, new Friend Areas, new bosses, and a continuation of the plot. 386 Pokémon, including 28 forms of Unown, can be recruited or evolved.

Nintendo DS

Nintendo DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness is the second main video game in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was initially released in two versions with slight differences, Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. A third version with additional content was later released as Nintendo DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

The story involves a human turning into a Pokémon, and waking up on a beach without their memory. They team up with a local they meet to retrieve a treasure of theirs from a duo of thieves. Afterwards, they attend a guild for Exploration Teams, hoping to not only become first-rate and graduate, but also to uncover the mystery of the hero's missing memory. Later on, they get involved in a crisis involving the collapse of time itself, leading to them saving the world.

The gameplay is turn-based, with the emphasis being on the titular Mystery Dungeons. The hero and their partner traverse deeper into dungeons, whether it's to fulfill rescue missions for the guild they joined or to progress the story. The number of floors the player must traverse gradually becomes bigger and bigger, with the post-credits providing incredibly challenging 'level reset' dungeons to test their skills. Outside of them, the main area is free-roaming and filled with characters to interact with.

Despite their natures as two games with exclusive items, the games are otherwise left untouched in every other department.

Both versions were released on the Nintendo DS.
