Capture wild Pokémon and create a team to clear obstacles and solve puzzles encountered along the way. After players use a Pokémon's ability, it will leave the player's team; however, you will have a Partner Pokémon that will always stay by your side. As you progress through Missions and Quests, your Capture Styler becomes more powerful, giving your Styler more Energy and eventually advancing you to the level of Top Ranger. Characters
Harness the power of hundreds of different Pokémon. In addition, players can choose to be a boy or girl Pokémon Ranger. Key Game Features
- Pokémon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Pokémon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Pokémon they want to catch by drawing circles around them on the touch screen. When you complete certain Quests, the Ranger Union awards you with power-ups, which add new upgrades and functions to your Capture Styler, allowing you to advance as you work to eventually become a Top Ranger (the most revered Ranger of all).
- Now you can partner with a variety of different Pokémon of each type to complete Missions-giving you many options on how to approach different challenges. Every Pokémon is different, and capturing a Pokémon allows you to use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face along the way. The job of a Pokémon Ranger is never done: your duties will include fighting wildfires, rescuing people or even delivering an important package.
- Your journey to become a Top Ranger takes you to the new region of Almia. This game has a larger world, more Missions, more adventure and more to do than the previous Pokémon Ranger games. It has a storyline full of adventure and the ability to travel to and explore many exciting new areas in Almia, including oceans, forests, deserts and more with the help of your Partner Pokémon.
- This is the first game in the Pokémon Ranger series to feature Pokémon from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
Special Powers, Weapons, Moves & Features
Use the Capture Styler to capture wild Pokémon. Once they are captured, wild Pokémon will follow the player around until their powers are used (either in a Poké Assist or a Field Move). - A Poké Assist is when the player uses an already captured Pokémon to help capture another wild Pokémon.
- A Field Move is when the player uses a captured Pokémon's power to clear an obstacle that blocks his way or perform any another helpful function with it.

Another Great Pokemon Game!
»
In the beginning this game was easy but as the game played on it became more challenging. You choose to play as a girl or boy and the Pokémon you find help you on your missions. You can use them to clear passages, for travel, dig tunnels,etc.
The goal is to protect the Almia region from danger. There are special missions called quests. Overall, this is a fun game to play and hard to put down!

Better than the first one
»
This game is way better than the first installment in the Pokemon Ranger series for the DS. It is very similar in terms of graphics and gameplay, yet offers significant improvements. For example, one doesn't need to circle their targets quite as furiously as before, which had previously led to blisters on my fingers. This one is slightly easier yet no less fun. Also, the ability to send certain special Pokemon over to the Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum games is a plus.

Much better than the first
»
This pokemon ranger game is alot better than the original. All of the controls and everything are the same but the gameplay is enhanced. for isntance, when your capturing, if your styler doesnt make a full line or you need to pause for a second, which happens for me alot anyways if they're attacing the line, you dont loose all the progress you just did. the meter that you have to monitor how much more you need to capture them goes down slowly so you dont have to start all over again. The missions have more depth than before and I love the new quest feature. Every time you finish a quest you unlock more power for you styler.
All in all, this is an excellent game and I recommend to anyone who loves pokemon.

Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
»
Wonderful game, it came quicker than I expected and in mint condition. What scared me was that this game would be borind but infact it gets into a twist as you're playing the game. I cannot tell you more but just play it for yourself and you will see what I mean. If your a true pokemon fan then you would play this.
