Shin Megami Tensei: DemiKids Light and Dark star Jin and Akira as well as Rand and Gale, their familiar guides. In Dark, Akira works to ensure that time portals are shut down and erased. In Light, Jin works with a rebel insurgency that is fighting an evil emperor while also experiencing time portals. The gameplay, while similar to Pokémon, has its differences while retaining the "catch everything in sight" mentality as well as Shin Megami Tensei's difficulty and attitudes.
