Unanswered Lore Questions in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
Humans
Friend Area descriptions explain humans used to be in the Pokémon world, and seem to imply that something happened to humans. Everything mentioning humans is "long ago", implying they were there in the past.
- Decrepit Lab
- "An abandoned lab built by humans long ago. Left to fall into disrepair, it is now home to Pokémon."
- Ancient Relic
- "The remains of a long-forgotten civilization. Prehistoric Pokémon are said to have lived here in ancient times."
- Power Plant
- "Machinery still runs in this long-deserted power plant. Electric-type Pokémon like to gather here."
- Treasure Sea
- "It is said that on its floor lie treasures of pirate ships sunken long ago."
Pokémon implied to be created or enhanced by humans (Porygon, Porygon2, Porygon-Z, Mewtwo, Genesect) are present in the Pokémon world.
Nintendo Power issue 209, in November 2006, claimed humans and trainers don't exist in the Pokémon world, but the in-game text explains that humans at least used to exist. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, the Hero seems confused when Gardevoir mentions trainers. However, in a Nintendo Power issue, they refer to the hero as an Apprentice Trainer before they became a Pokémon.
The hero in Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky is a human from the future in the Pokémon world who turned into a Pokémon during time travel, meaning that there was at least one human in the future. This seems to imply that, although extremely rare, humans in human form may still be found in the Pokémon world.
At the beginning of Gates to Infinity, the partner says "Humans don't exist anywhere except in fairy tales, or that's what I always thought".
In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, chapter 5, "Harmony Scarves", Pancham says "Nobody's ever seen a real human! They only exists in kids' stories!". Principal Simipour, who wasn't too far away, interrupts their conversation and adds: "Sometimes the most unbelievable things... are the things you should most believe in" and "Perhaps <hero>'s story is not true. But who are we to say? And what if...it is not a lie? Sometimes unbelievable things do happen... And because they do, living in this world proves endlessly entertaining. ♪ Not that I have any idea what kind of tales <hero> may have been telling! Haha!"
Where did the trainers go?
Rescue Team DX Hero seemingly confused about trainers.
The partner in Gates to Infinity.
Pancham in Super MD.
In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Omanyte mentions it was revived from an ancient fossil. In Kabuto Feels Young Again! Kabuto, one of the "oldest residents", feels young after hearing Relicanth's story from 100,000,000 years ago. Is this because Kabuto was resurrected from a fossil "a long time ago", like Omanyte?
Pokémon News #41
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team
Gardevoir explains Gengar used to be her trainer. It's revealed by Ninetales that Gengar was the trainer who pulled their tail in The Legend of Ninetales. Gardevoir sacrificed herself to take the curse and Gengar fled. Gengar became a Pokémon anyway. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team, it's said that the Human Ninetales cursed would be reincarnated 1,000 years in the future and destroy the world.
Ninetales' Curse.
Gardevoir took Ninetales' Curse.
What name did he go by before he became a Gengar?
Pelipper are the ones who deliver the mail, and run the job board, and handle rescues. We don't hear from them in Explorers, Adventure Squad, or Super, but Rescues are still handled by Pelipper on Pelipper Island, implying they're the Pokémon Rescue Organization. They're also the ones to deliver Team Pokémon's Toolbox at the start of the game.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team part 6, Gengar shields Ginji from Groudon's attack.[1] After that point, he's not seen in the rest of the story. He's presumed dead.
Gengar's sacrifice.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers
The hero accidentally turned into a Pokémon while time traveling, but the game still has a personality test.
Grovyle collects five Time Gears to bring to Temporal Tower to restore time. The location of one of those Time Gears is not shown. The exact locations of four Time Gears are shown in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, plus a fifth one in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. A Time Gear is alleged to exist in a volcanic area.
The partner, near the start of the story, says "I've even heard that there is a hidden altar inside a volcano" in reference to Time Gears while a picture of said location is shown. This is also seen on the Explorers of Darkness title screen.
Temporal Tower has slots for five Time Gears that, if inserted, restore the flow of time everywhere.
Time Gears are said and shown to stop time in the surrounding area when removed from their place.
If five Time Gears being in Temporal Tower is enough to protect time, why weren't they there to begin with?
If Dialga has Time Gears, does Palkia have Space Gears? The logos for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky use a red gear and a green gear respectively, but those aren't seen in the actual game or the anime. Does that mean that not all Time Gears are blue? Or are there Darkness Gears and Sky Gears?
- Who built the Old Ruins?
The path leading to the Rainbow Stoneship, the Old Ruins, features murals depicting Mew, Kyogre, Groudon, Palkia and Dialga. The murals also feature footprint inscriptions, which are different from the Unown characters seen outside on the tablet explaining the Rainbow Stoneship. See also: Pokémon Language.
Old Ruins.
Mew mural.
Kyogre and Groudon mural.
Palkia and Dialga mural.
The hero is the only known character with this ability.
In chapter 16, "A New Dawn", Grovyle explains that the Dimensional Scream only triggers in locations that are related to the Time Gears. The hero tells him that hasn't been the case since he went back in time.
Dimensional Scream in the past.
Dimensional Scream in the future.
In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the planet where most of the series takes place is shown to be spherical. Did the paralyzed future have a place where the sun was always shining? If so, where? If not, what happened to the sun? Could Celebi have teleported to a place on the planet where it's sunrise?
In chapter 19, "To the Hidden Land", Guildmaster Wigglytuff claims Lapras told him the Relic Fragment itself chose the partner.
The description of the Coronet Rock explains that it comes from Mount Coronet, a place nobody knows anything about. This is the name of a location in the Sinnoh region as seen in other Pokémon media.
When the guild's expedition takes them to Foggy Forest in Chapter 8, the hero gets the feeling that they've been there before. They get the exact same feeling when visiting Dusk Forest in Chapter 15. Furthermore, Grovyle notes that Dusk Forest is perpetually covered in a dark fog, which all but confirms that Dusk Forest is the future version of Foggy Forest. However, the map shows Foggy/Dusk Forest as being in the paralyzed future's Hidden Land, as opposed to on the Grass Continent as it is in the present time. Why did it move, and how?
The Hidden Land in the present.
The Hidden Land as seen in the paralyzed future.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon shows a full world map, but there is no confirmation of where the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Squad games take place. Island of Storms, Isle of Light and Fire Island are likely candidates, as they match the names of the three versions of the game.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
Before the first boss fight in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Gurdurr claims Scraggy used to pull off "way meaner schemes in the west". Is this in reference to a western area of the Mist Continent, where the game takes place? And what did Scraggy do?
Virizion says "The famous reformer of criminals... Who even formed an organization to punish evildoers... And is said to travel the world for its operations... The one known for three qualities above all others: sincerity, integrity, and rage. It appears that your famous nickname is not just for show... ...SIR Quagsire." to Quagsire.
Red and blue Magnagates are seen in the game and anime. Red Magnagates connect from a location in the Pokémon world to another, while blue Magnagates connect the Human World to the Pokémon world. In the game, Magnagate shaped icons of various colors are used. Are those other types of Magnagates?
Hydreigon mentions the existence of Voices of Life other than himself. Who are they? If Hydreigon is the Voice of Life of Pokémon, are the other Voices of Life also of Pokémon, or are they for other beings, such as humans?
This is likely, but not confirmed, as the location of DLC dungeons isn't shown on the map.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
Dark Matter and the Bittercold are similar in many ways, especially their origin. Is there a connection between the two?
The inhabitants of the Prehistoric Ruins seem to have had a lot of knowledge of the Voidlands, possibly being among the Pokémon trapped there in the past.
In the game, the Prehistoric Ruins are the underwater remains of an ancient civilization. How did this happen? Is it related to past events involving Dark Matter and the Voidlands?
Nuzleaf claims the hero tried to fight him and the Beheeyem as soon as he reached the future, and so Beheeyem had to erase his memories. However, the partner later claims it was him/her who erased his memories, to which the hero had previously agreed.
Nuzleaf: "You still knew who you were when you first came along to this here world. Before you lost your memories, you even tried battling me and my pals here. While we were all fighting, though... you got hit with a dose of ol' Beheeyem's psychic power... and plumb forgot who you were."
Partner: "(hero), it wasn't the Beheeyem that made you lose all of your memories. It was me. I... or Mew...erased your memories. It was what you agreed to... before you came to this world."
After defeating Dark Matter, the hero expects having to leave the Pokémon world. He thinks: "Huh? Wait a second. If I came to this world a long time ago in the past... then I must have gone back to the Human World after battling Dark Matter, right? Probably because I'd done what I came here to do... But...we got rid of Dark Matter and now the world is at peace again... So...what is going to happen to me...? Now that I've done my duty... what will happen to me? I guess...I'll be going back to the Human World... and leaving this place. I might have to say good-bye to everyone..."
Later, the hero tells the partner that this is worrying him, that he wishes to stay in the Pokémon world and thinks they need to find a way to do so. He is surprised when the partner reveals to him that he doesn't have to leave. "It's not you who has to go, (hero). ...It's me".
The hero, who had previously agreed to the plan but who has not regained his memories of the past, wonders: "No! It can't be! Th-this...isn't how it was supposed to end... Is this why I chose to forget everything? Did I know that this was the only way things could end...? Did I have to forget...to be able to go through with it all... for the sake of the Pokémon world... and most of all... for (partner)?"
This is possibly explained by the epilogue of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, where Hydreigon says "If (hero) had stayed in this world... It would have created a distortion in the fabric of the universe. That's why it was decided that (hero)'s fate was to return to the Human World. I myself believed that such facts were unchangeable. But...it may be... Maybe fate can be changed after all", and later adds "Well, from the beginning... I had thought that (hero) staying in this world would... ...go against the laws of nature. That a return to the Human World was inevitable. However, since coming here, I've felt that those very laws of nature are changing. And the reason for those changes is this. It's because of all of you and your refusal to forget (hero). This realization was a great shock to me. The strength of your feelings has... Well, you've managed to override the laws that govern nature itself. This impossible thing--this unbelievable thing--is now happening because of you. This new view of a deeper truth made me hope we could change (hero)'s fate".

How was Mew able to send his/her spirit to be born as the partner? In other Pokémon material, Mew is shown to be able to change species at any moment, regardless of circumstances. During the main story, is the partner still a Mew who is just unaware of this ability? If so, once the epilogue is completed, can the partner still become any other species at will?
Yveltal is under Dark Matter's control during the events of the game. All Pokémon under Dark Matter's control are able to turn Pokémon to stone. Yveltal is often shown to be able to turn Pokémon to stone in other Pokémon material. It's possible Dark Matter obtains this power by controlling Yveltal.
Mawile is studying a mysterious Hidden Landmass.
Possible explanations are that it moves or that there are multiple Destiny Towers.
Fogbound Lake used to be on top of a mountain. In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the mountain is absent, and the lake has taken on the shape of a heart, and the name Heart Lake. Mesprit is there instead of Uxie. Uxie and Azelf also moved to different locations.
Many business owners from previous games appear in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and explain that they're out of business.
Persian says "Oh yes. Felicity Bank used to be there. Why is it gone? I don't know." when talked to.
