Draft:Pkmn:Introduction to Basic Gameplay

Belly

A Pokémon's Belly has an original range of 0 to 100. When a Pokémon first enters a dungeon, they have a Belly value of 100. As turns pass, a Pokémon's Belly value decreases. At zero Belly, the Pokémon will lose HP every turn when the leader. HP lost from hunger is 1 per turn in games up to Gates to Infinity and 3 per turn in Super Mystery Dungeon onwards.

A Pokémon's Belly value can be found in the menu. In order to fill up the Belly, a Pokémon eats a food item such as an Apple, Gummi, Berry, or Seed. A Pokémon's Belly value will also decrease if the player holds the A and B buttons simultaneously (waiting mechanic) as it also causes turns to go by. Also, a Pokémon's Belly value will decrease faster if they are holding certain items such as a Munch Belt and decreases very quickly when in a wall.

Although the Belly feature is found in every Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, it is only a feature in the last three dungeons in Gates to Infinity.

Body Size

A Pokémon will either have a body size of 1, 2, or 4. The larger the body size value, the more spaces the Pokémon will take up in the dungeon. When assembling a party for a dungeon, the maximum body size amount is 6 with a maximum amount of Pokémon of 3 is Red/Blue Rescue team and 4 in the Explorers titles.
