Insert the POKéMON MYSTERY DUNGEON: BLUE RESCUE TEAM Game Card into the Game Card slot on the back of the system and push until it clicks into place. Turn the power on, and the Health and Safety Screen is displayed (shown to the right). Once you have read over the information, touch the Touch Screen. Touch the POKéMON MYSTERY DUNGEON Panel on the Nintendo DS Menu Screen to start the game. If you set the Nintendo DS system to Auto Mode, the game will automatically start after the Health and Safety Screen is displayed. For more information, please check the instruction booklet for your Nintendo DS system.
The in-game language depends on the one that is set on the console. In this game you can choose between five different languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. If your Nintendo DS system is already set to one of them, the same language will be displayed in the game. If your Nintendo DS system is set to another language, the in-game default language will be English. You can change the in-game language by changing the language setting of your console. For further instructions about how to change language settings please refer to the Nintendo DS Instruction Booklet. Please remember that once you have started the game in one language, you cannot change it. If you want to play in another language, you have to delete your save data, set your Nintendo DS system to another language and restart the game.
