Capture wild Pokmon and create a team to clear obstacles and solve puzzles encountered along the way. After players use a Pokmon's ability, it will leave the player's team; however, you will have a Partner Pokmon 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 Pokmon. In addition, players can choose to be a boy or girl Pokmon Ranger. Key Game Features
- Pokmon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Pokmon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Pokmon 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 Pokmon of each type to complete Missions-giving you many options on how to approach different challenges. Every Pokmon is different, and capturing a Pokmon allows you to use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face along the way. The job of a Pokmon 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 Pokmon 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 Pokmon.
- This is the first game in the Pokmon Ranger series to feature Pokmon from Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl.
Special Powers, Weapons, Moves & Features
Use the Capture Styler to capture wild Pokmon. Once they are captured, wild Pokmon will follow the player around until their powers are used (either in a Pok Assist or a Field Move). - A Pok Assist is when the player uses an already captured Pokmon to help capture another wild Pokmon.
- A Field Move is when the player uses a captured Pokmon's power to clear an obstacle that blocks his way or perform any another helpful function with it.

 great gft January 6, 2009
My granddaughter was so excited when she opened Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia for Christmas. I believe she put all her other gifts aside and starting play Pokemon immediantly. Thank you, my granddaughter was extremely happy.
Another Great Pokemon Game! January 4, 2009
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 Pokmon 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 January 1, 2009

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 December 30, 2008

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.

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.
