What Others Say
Not up to Pokemon Standard
Poke'mon ranger was an interesting idea when I first heard about it. I knew, going in, that you didn't capture poke'mon forever, just for one use. Still, I wanted to try it and see what it was like. That's where it went sour. The game is annoying at best. The action is repetitive, the game play is dull, and the people in it talk waaaaaaaay too much.

Pokemon Ranger is a bit different from the other Pokemon games in the series (to be expected).

Rather than throwing Pokeballs from a menu command, you "draw" them with your stylus (which generally means circling Pokemon).
I enjoyed the game for numerous reasons (not the least of which is the ability to get a top-notch Pokemon for Diamond), but I wouldn't have if the game was full price. The graphics are not at all special, and the gameplay does get a bit old, but it's ... Read More
My 9 year old's opinion...
A lot of fun. Worth buying. Alittle confusing but that is the point of the game. I would recommend it. I have had it for awhile and I still enjoy it.
