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.

"Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia" Review:
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:)
pokemon games:
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:
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!!!!!!!
one of my fav ds games EVER!:
I played the original pokemon ranger and was very happy when pokemon ranger shadows of almia came out. I love the pokemon ranger games and prefer it compared to the other pokemon games. In the game pokenom ranger shadows of almia you play a pokemon ranger, some one who protects all pokemon from harm. The game uses a capture stylus that is used to capture pokemon and gives a very interactive feeling, unlike in other pokemon games where u just watch pokemon battle. The capture stylus is used by making circles... more info
