Well, I'll have to admit, the reason I bought this game in the first place was because I enjoyed the Role Playing of the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl games. But of course, this is not the same.
The story is, you are a Pokemon Ranger, so your job is to help everybody you meet in order to progress in the game. You start off in the school, which was actually really enjoyable and was my favorite part of the game. And then, as you graduate and do missions, you will gain ranks, until you get the coveted Level 10.
I love the concept of the capturing pokemon with your stylus, instead of effortlessly trying to weaken it, and end up killing it. But some problems I had was the fact I couldn't really do much after I finished the game. I mean, sure there were a whole load of missions that unlock after beating the game, but the requirements for these missions I don't like.
Some of these missions require you to throw out all the pokemon with you, just to show them to the person and they run away afterwords. You love the pokemon with you, but then you just get rid of them? Granted in the show, they described Rangers as only using pokemon when needed, to help them with their quests. So if having all your faves in your team is what you want, I'd suggest playing Diamond and Pearl or Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
So, needless to say, this game is sitting in my room, collecting dust. So, If youmust have this game, just to play and find out it's not for you, I'd recommend selling it to your nearest Game Stop for a few more bucks for your Wallet. That's what will happen to mine anyways. |

I want to go ahead and state this before continuing with this review- this game is not, or is intended to be easy unlike many games. You can fly through pokemon ruby for example, but this game takes dedicated time to beat. There are occasions that are frustrating when you fight certain pokemon due to the difficulty of capture.
Continuing on, this keeps the game from being boring. There are interesting partner pokemon, the graphics are amazing, and the story is actually quite interesting, especially compared to some pokemon games, (e.g Pokemon Red/Blue).
Pros-
Good graphics
Challenging
Interesting story
Lots of pokemon
Cons-
Can get annoying at times
Some conversations drag on forever
Not much of a post game |

Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia!
I thought the game was great, it had a good story to play with. I didn't finish the game, I didn't even get close to... but I found it fun and interesting. The game was in perfect condition like just out of the store. That's pretty much all I can say about it because I didn't get that far into the game. I'm pretty sure the game will be very much more interesting and addicting:) |

| i only play hand held games and pokemon is one of the few i will play as well as kirby games. i do love watching them and wished they would put out other games like deep sea dive as well as the original frogger. i hate the newer games, not the best as far as i'm concerned as i love pokemon games and collect them! |
| AWESOME game but its a little short | 2009-11-29 | 5 / 5 |

| I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! the best pokemon game i have played in a while. its a little short i wish i didnt have played it all the time cuse im done lol... the bosses could have been a little tougher some bosses.like it said on some of the bosses it said "theres a really tough pokemon ahead" when it should have said "theres a really easy pokemon up there that will take you about a 2 minutes to catch" thats all. overall I LOVE THIS GAME!!! ONE OF THE BEST POKEMON GAMES EVER!!!!!!! |
