'''''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon''''' is the sixth entry into the ''{{Meta|About Mystery Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon}}'' franchise and the fifth series to be a crossover with another series, ''{{Meta|Pokémon}}''. It is the most popular series in the franchise; previous crossovers had difficulty on bringing the ''Mystery Dungeon'' franchise outside of Japan.

==About==
The ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' series is published by Nintendo and co-developed by {{Meta|The Pokémon Company}}. It is currently the most popular sub-series worldwide. Tsunekazu Ishihara has worked previously with Chunsoft. One of the company's work was ''Tetris 2 + Bombliss'', where Ishihara was the game's producer and met Nakamura, who was the game's director. Prior to the development of ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team'', Ishihara has played a few games from the ''Mystery Dungeon'' series, namely ''Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon'', and was impressed with the genre's depth and quality. The game's development started after Nagahata and Tomie approached Ishihara and agreed with working on an easier version of the genre for the mainline ''Pokémon'' fans.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/pokemon-mysterydungeon-gti/0/0l |title=Iwata Asks : Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity : An Impossible Combination |website=Nintendo |author=Satoru Iwata |accessdate=September 2, 2021}}</ref> During the development of ''Red and Blue Rescue Team'', Kouji Maruta, one of the programmers for these two games, who also previously contributed to ''EarthBound'' and ''Shiren the Wanderer 2'', stated the company went through bad business performance, as employees from Chunsoft would leave the company progressively due to this issue. The game's success not only helped giving more popularity in the franchise, it also helped Chunsoft from failure.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.1101.com/intern/kobune_2020/interview/malta/malta03.html |title=ほぼ日の学生採用企画 |date=January 31, 2020 |publisher=1101.com |accessdate=September 2, 2021 |language=ja |quote=『ポケモン不思議のダンジョン』とかも作りかけていたけど、おそらくこれも売れないだろうし、先行きの見通しがない状況だったと思うんです。でも、なんとその後、その『ポケモン不思議のダンジョン』が大ヒット。あんなにたくさんの人が辞める必要はなかったんじゃないかな、と思いますけど。で、ぼくも他の人と同じように別の開発会社に転職してテレビゲームの開発を続けるかどうかを考えはじめました。でも、その前にそうとう泣きましたよ。}}</ref>
