Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3 DS screenshot Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3 will be a new Nintendo DS game. Developer Chunsoft has been working on the next dungeon RPG in this Pokemon spin-off series.

The third installment in the series was announced in the January issue of the Japanese magazine Coro Coro. While almost no information is known about the game at this time, in the above screenshot you can see Riolu and Eevee walking in Treasure Town.

While in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness 491 out of 493 Pokemon were featured, it’s expected Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3 will add those two missing Pokemon that appeared in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Arceus and Shaymin along with new forms, plus Giratina’s and Rotom’s newly introduced forms.

January 13 update: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky will be released in Japan in Spring 2009 and will continue the story started in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness. The game will have 5 new starters, including ones from the previous games; 19 total, but 2 will be removed. The 5 new ones are: Phanpy, Evee, Riolu, Shinx, and Vulpix. New features include a future storyline with the mysterious return of Grovyle the Thief and the beginning of the Wigglytuff Guild with you playing as some of the founding members. — Thanks to DarkraiFan1 for the tips.

July 10 update: Nintendo announced that in North America the game will be released on October 12, 2009. Europe and Australia might not see release until 2010.

*left eye twitches* 7 more days… I’m going to be a Vulpix! It’s lucky that I’m a girl, because only girls can be Vulpix. My partner will be Eevee!

James & Marcos: You guys are right. But when this PMD2 improved remake was announced almost a year ago in Japan (when this article was written), it seemed like it would be a sequel. That’s how Nintendo talked about it and before they had never made an update / third game in the Mystery Dungeon series before. So you can understand all the confusion.
