What two games were the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon releases?

Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team were the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon releases. They debuted in Japan on November 17, 2005, as a paired release for two different Nintendo systems.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team was made for the Game Boy Advance, while Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team was made for the Nintendo DS. The two versions share the same broad story but differ in platform and certain available Pokémon.

The spin-off differs from the main Pokémon role-playing games because the player becomes a Pokémon rather than a human Trainer. The games use randomly generated dungeons and turn-based movement, reflecting the wider Mystery Dungeon series.

The titles are sometimes shortened to Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, but their full names include Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. The pair reached international markets in 2006.
