A Starter Pokémon is a Pokémon that the player will play as when starting a new game. The starter is determined by the personality test. Depending on the player's gender and test answers, he/she may get different starters.

Personality Quiz[]

The Personality Quiz is the nine question quiz that determines the Pokémon that the player will play as throughout each Mystery Dungeon game. The test is always taken at the start of every game. It consists of eight personality questions and the last question, which is always whether the player is "Male" or "Female". At the end of the quiz, the player will have a score of points associated with a Pokémon nature. Depending on the Pokémon's nature and gender, the player will be assigned a certain Pokémon as a starter.

The Adventure Squad games and Gates to Infinity do not have personality quizzes; the starter is chosen directly. In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Rescue Team DX, after the Pokémon is chosen from the quiz, the player is given a choice to accept or deny it. If the player chooses to deny it, the starter can be directly chosen.

Partner Pokémon[]

After the player have been assigned a starter Pokémon, a second Pokémon, as the player's partner Pokémon, is assigned. This Pokémon will stay with the player for the rest of the game, and has a major role in the progression of the plot.

The player picks the partner from the same selection of Pokémon available as a starter (with some exceptions), but the partner Pokémon cannot be the same type as the player character.
