Later, the player meets Dusknoir, a famous explorer who is helping the Guild in its mission to track down Grovyle.

The player learns the story of the Time Gears, artifacts kept in certain locations that control the flow of time. Despite this, a mysterious thief, Grovyle, has been stealing Time Gears, halting time in the affected areas. The game begins with the player washed up on the shore with no recollection of who they are besides the fact that they were once human. They are found by the partner, a timid young Pokémon who dreams of joining the esteemed Wigglytuff's Guild as an explorer. The two team up and decide to form an exploration team. They also get to choose their partner's species. Like in the previous game, the player character is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon under mysterious circumstances. While maintaining Rescue Team's concept, art style and gameplay, the Explorers games contained a deeper and more mature story that left an impact on its mostly young audience. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness (plus their sister game, Explorers of Sky) are, arguably, the strongest games in the series.

Remakes are nothing new for the franchise as a whole, but no side game has ever receive more than a basic rerelease until now. Of course, new content coming to the main series is bound to cause more excitement than a remake of a side game, but some fans have long hoped for the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series' revival. Not only is the series back, but Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX opens the door for further side-game remakes. When The Pokémon Company revealed back in January that the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games were receiving remakes, the announcement was easily overshadowed by the other news from the Direct.
