Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (ポケモン不思議のダンジョン 空の探検隊, Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon Sora no Tankentai, lit. "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Sky Exploration Team") is the fifth installment in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series for the Nintendo DS, and a sister game to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. It was released in Japan on April 18, 2009 and announced at E3 2009 in North America which it will be released on October 12th, 2009.

Gameplay

As with its predecessors, the game follows the story of a human who is mysteriously transformed into a Pokémon (determined by a personality test at the game's start-up). Along with the starters from the previous game, five more have been confirmed to be included as playable choices; Phanpy, Riolu, Shinx, Eevee, and Vulpix. However, 2 starters, Munchlax and Meowth were removed and replaced with 1 returning character, Eevee and 4 exclusive characters.

Explorers of Sky is set to expand on the plot of Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, as well as explore the background of several characters (such as Wigglytuff's inspiration to become an explorer, the induction of Bidoof into the guild, the formation of Team Charm, a special mission for guild member Sunflora, and the investigation of Grovyle and Dusknoir after the battle at the Hidden Land).

Extra gameplay features will be incorporated into the game, including but not limited to; extra dungeons, the event Pokémon Shaymin, and alternate forms introduced in Pokémon Platinum (except for Rotom).
