How to Recruit in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon

It's all about the Connection Orb and relationships between critters in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.

Japanese magazine 4Gamer highlighted the different mechanics in the upcoming 3DS game, where players help out Pokémon and their problems in order to become friends, joining the group.

Hoopa will also appear in the game, as a summonable character in a dungeon by using what's described as a "Warlock Port." By doing so, Hoopa will help against enemies within a dungeon, occasionally spawning the odd Legendary/Mythical critter as well.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is out this winter in Japan.
