I knew that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red & Blue Rescue Team, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky have receive three animal specials for anime adaptations, while Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Inifity has received anime shorts for anime adpatations. However, unfortunately, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon video game that has lacked its anime adaptations of any kind. Now I wonder why you think? Please let me know, thanks.😉

    A good number of these were in promotion of the then-upcoming Super Mystery Dungeon game. Other than remakes, there's been no new Mystery Dungeon game to build up hype for through said specials. Plus, most anime specials nowadays are focused on worldbuilding the main series, so that's what's being done instead, in addition to independent projects. Long story short, Pokémon's already had its hands full with animation to even consider adding in Super Mystery Dungeon, and they certainly won't do it now.
