Rescue Team:Development

Development of Template:GameTitle.

History

Template:GameTitle began development around November 2003. In a 2012 interview, Shin'ichiro Tomie revealed he initially wrote a completely different story script, before presenting the idea that would later become the story of the released game. No information on the original concept was given. The existence of the game was leaked online in August 2004 under the title Mystery Dungeon: Pokémon World: Pikachu's Great Adventure. The game was later officially revealed in August 2005 and the Japanese release date was announced in September. More details regarding the gameplay and plot were revealed later that month. In November, Nintendo announced a bug in the Blue Rescue Team version involving its connectivity with its GBA counterpart, Red Rescue Team, which would completely erase the contents of any other Game Boy Advance game besides Red Rescue Team that was loaded into the system. Nintendo quickly patched the bug upon discovering it and issued a new shipment of replacement DS cards with the patch on December 8. At E3 2006, Nintendo announced the English release of the games and revealed the release date later that month.
