->''"This is Pokémon Village... It's somewhat different from the regular world of Pokémon... Here in this peaceful village... The Pokémon live together harmoniously."''
-->-- ''Blazing Adventure Squad'' introduction

The third[[note]][[NoExportForYou in Japan only]][[/note]] installment to the ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' SpinOff titles, ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad'', ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad'', and ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad'' released for ''UsefulNotes/WiiWare'' in 2009.

Straying from the usual PlayerPersonalityQuiz, this trio of games instead begins with an OpeningNarration from the town elder, Slowking. He explains how the Pokémon of his town live peacefully and get along with each other. A resident of the town, Shuckle, ends up lost in a "mystery dungeon" and Slowking sends two volunteers in order to rescue him. Some time later, the town hears rumors of a piece of chocolate that is said to be extremely delicious. However, [[MacGuffinMelee a major fight breaks out]] when the chocolate is brought back to town, prompting Slowking's Adventure Squad to find a solution to the tumult.

In a contrast to ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers'', the story of ''Adventure Squad'' is much shorter and [[LighterAndSofter light-hearted]]. These games also feature a new mechanic known as [[CombinationAttack Pokémon towers]], and the ability to [[OldSaveBonus transfer recruited Pokémon between different game versions]].

These games have a FanTranslation found [[https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4136-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-adventure-squad-series-wii-translations/ here]].

!!This installment provides examples of:
* BrutalBonusLevel: Final Island, Final Mountain, and Final Cave are the "ultimate" mystery dungeons of the postgame, comparable to [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Purity Forest]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers Zero Isle South]]. [[spoiler: If you accepted the Wonder Mail for this dungeon, you get to face [[OptionalBoss Arceus]].]]
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Blazing Squad is comprised of primarily red/orange/yellow/brown Pokémon, Stormy Squad is all blue, and Light Squad is all yellow save for the light blue Shinx and Pachirisu.
* CombinationAttack: Exclusive to these games are dungeon tiles that allow your teammates to hop onto each other's backs, forming Pokémon towers. While in a Pokémon tower, team members can use up to four moves in a single turn at the cost of no RegeneratingHealth.
* ExcusePlot: Everyone in town is fighting over a piece of chocolate, so the solution is to go get some cookies that everybody can share.
* FireIceLightning: Blazing Squad, Stormy Squad and Light Squad, with Water replacing Ice.
** [[spoiler: This also extends to [[OlympusMons Arceus]], whose type depends on the current game version it's in.]]
* GuideDangIt: Several of the roaming Legendary Pokémon won't appear unless [[spoiler: you reach the highest rank ''and'' have the Mystery Part or Secret Slab in your inventory]], on top of finding out where they appear.
* LighterAndSofter: In ''Time/Darkness/Sky'', the main plot is to [[spoiler: find the Time Gears before the BadFuture arrives and the world goes to hell]]. In ''Adventure Squad'', the main plot is finding some cookies in a dungeon so your town will stop fighting over a piece of chocolate.
* MacGuffinMelee: The Amazing Chocolate your Adventure Squad brings back from a dungeon ends up being fought over by the town, much to Slowking's dismay.
* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The Pokémon models are ported directly from ''VideoGame/MyPokemonRanch'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonRumble''.
* PaletteSwap: 36 Pokémon have Shiny counterparts that can be discovered and recruited. Notably, they have one advantage over their normally-colored cousins: their HungerMeter goes up to ''200'' instead of the typical 100.
* RecycledSoundtrack: All of the music that isn't new is lifted directly from ''Time/Darkness/Sky''.
* RuleOfThree: In addition to there being three versions, each team has three Pokémon in the starting roster who aren't the dominant type:
** [[PlayingWithFire Blazing Squad]] has Eevee, Teddiursa and Buneary.
** [[MakingASplash Stormy Squad]] has Phanpy, Wynaut and Riolu.
** [[ShockAndAwe Light Squad]] has Meowth, Psyduck and Togepi.
* TemporaryOnlineContent: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection could be used to access special Wonder Mail missions for Dialga and Arceus, in addition to a selection of rare roaming Pokémon through ''[=WiiConnect24=]''.
* VersionExclusiveContent: On top of version-exclusive Pokémon and theming, each game also has a different name for the town and different residents of said town.
