PMU 5

PMU 5, or more commonly known as "Stone Age PMU", is the first of the many "Pokemon Mystery Universe" titles that came after it. PMU 5 was started in 2005 running on an engine called "Eclipse". PMU was founded by Linkachu.

Gameplay

PMU 5 had extremely similar basic gameplay to its descendants. The player would move with the Arrow Keys and attack with Control. With the stat point system, every level gave the player three stat points to spend on various stats, unless if the player had a special stat point effecting item. Moves could be accessed through the menu on the top right. Players were able to recruit Pokemon. During this stage, players would buy "TMs" or find them via dungeon. At the time, these were called "Spells" and only certain "TMs" could be taught to certain Pokemon. Evolution had yet to exist in this phase.

Maps

Every map was 30 by 30 tiles wide and tall. The tiles were a mix of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon tiles and tiles from other genres.
