Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is a spinoff series of Pokémon, where instead of being a turn based RPG, it's now a dungeon crawler where the main character finds themselves a human turned Pokémon.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team
The first set of games in the series, released on GBA (Red) and DS (Blue) in 2006. These games introduced the concept of playing as a human turned Pokémon, the player getting assigned their Pokémon via a personality quiz.
