Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Character Selection | Well, there's always one
Oh look! There are new pokemon you can play as in the new Mystery Dungeon games!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time/Darkness introduces several new pokemon into the games.

The old favourites are back, with the usual Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Meowth, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip and Skitty.

However, there's now Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup and Munchlax.

So, what else is different? You may ask. Well you should be happy to hear that they've finally stopped discriminating between male and female players. You can now become any of the above pokemon regardless of gender. That's right; Gary can now be a Chikorita!

As for your partner, you can also have your pick of the above, but there's a catch: Your partner can't be the same type as you, and can't be Munchlax, Skitty or Meowth for some unknown reason.

So you may be wondering; 'How do I get to be XYZ pokemon?'

The answer lies below.

As in the first game, depending on responses you give to the quiz at the start of the game, your character will be selected based on a nature derived from the results. You'll also do an 'aura' analysis thingy by pressing the touch screen at the end of the quiz, but after much testing it apparently means NOTHING about the pokemon you get.

Trust Nintendo to make us waste 5 seconds pressing the touch pad to be told 'your special colour is green'. I don't even LIKE green... Apparently, it's just a random 'test' dependant on your DS background colour and how hard you press on the touch pad. So ignore it.

Anyway, once the largely pointless final test is over you'll get given a nature. This table displays what pokemon each nature will give you:

Remember that because the gender of your character influences what nature is needed for what pokemon, you have to be careful.

So... there you have it; which nature gives which pokemon. But what? You want more? You want to know how to answer each and every question to get what you desire? Alright then!

Below is a list of all the questions you could be asked, since there are so many, I've merely put the results of each answer next to the answer itself, rather than do one for each pokemon.

If your taking the quiz to get a certain pokemon, you need to find on this page the question your being asked (CTRL+F in most browsers), then select the answer which adds to your desired nature. Also, remember when searching (with CTRL+F) to use unique words from your question, such as 'suitcase' or 'allowance', rather than 'you have'. Whichever nature has the highest score at the end will be selected for you. If none of the questions benefit your nature, pick a random answer, but try not to raise any individual nature too high.

I've written each answer to give either +1 or +2 in a nature. Getting too many points in one stat will make the game stop quizzing you, so be careful. Then again, you can always reset your DS.

Okay, here's a rundown of what each question's answers will do, since there are so many possibilities. Remember, there are many more than in MD1, so searching the page will probably be faster:
