Become a Poke'mon Ranger and protect nature, rescue people and help Poke'mon in need.

Poke'mon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Poke'mon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Poke'mon 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 Poke'mon of each type to complete Missions?giving you many options on how to approach different challenges. Every Poke'mon is different, and capturing a Poke'mon allows you to use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face along the way. The job of a Poke'mon 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 Poke'mon Ranger game. 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 Poke'mon.

* This is the first game in the Poke'mon Ranger series to feature Poke'mon from Poke'mon? Diamond and Poke'mon? Pearl.

How to progress through the game: Capture wild Poke'mon and create a team to clear obstacles and puzzles encountered along the way. After using a Poke'mon?s ability, it will leave your team; however, you will have a Partner Poke'mon 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: Hundreds of Poke'mon. Players can choose to be a boy or girl Poke'mon Ranger.

Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Use the Capture Styler to capture wild Poke'mon. Once they are captured, wild Poke'mon will follow the player around until their powers are used (either in a Poke' Assist or a Field Move).

A Poke' Assist is when the player uses an already captured Poke'mon to help capture another wild Poke'mon.

A Field Move is when the player uses a captured Poke'mon?s power to clear an obstacle in the way or perform another helpful function.
