For those who gotta catch 'em all, there are now two more games in the Pok�mon series on the way: Pok�mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, and Pok�mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness.

The two games will be released exclusively for the Nintendo DS on April 20 in the US, and will--as in the previous two Mystery Dungeon games--let gamers actually play as a Pok�mon creature.

To decide which Pok�mon they want to be, players will take a test to see which of the 16 playable characters suits their personality best, and then set off to explore a land untouched by humans on "an epic journey through time and darkness."

Over 490 different Pok�mon species populate the world, and they will chat to and team up with the player as they battle through a series of randomly generated dungeons.

The games will also both have a wireless mode, in which gamers can play "rescue operations" with their friends, as well as send alert messages to their friends via the delivery of text messages to their mobiles.
