Pokemon Ranger

Game Details:

"Pokémon Ranger" was co-developed by HAL Laboratory and Creatures Inc. and released on the Nintendo DS in 2006, first in Japan (March 23), followed by North America, Australia, and Europe. The game is set in the Fiore region, which lacks a trainer culture. Players take on the role of Rangers who capture Pokémon with the Capture Styler, temporarily borrowing their abilities to complete missions. The main story includes 10 main missions and 3 side missions, battling against the evil "Go-Rock Squad." Pokémon are automatically released after capture but can be used as one-time assists. The only permanent partners are Minun or Plusle.The game supports connectivity with the fourth-generation main series games (such as Diamond, Pearl, etc.) to transfer the Manaphy egg.

Editor's Recommendation:

This game brings the Pokémon world from a new angle - as a Ranger rather than a trainer, the player is not battling, but guarding and assisting. The capture method is innovative, using the stylus to encircle Pokémon is full of operability and extremely interesting; and the graphics are vivid, the animation is lively, and the Pokémon are breathing and lively. The environment design of the Fiore region is rich in ecological themes, and the plot focuses on the harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon. It is a Pokémon work suitable for parent-child or those who like gentle adventure experiences. In addition, the later stage can connect to the main series game to transfer the Manaphy egg, which increases both the collection value and the commemorative significance.

Game Walkthrough：

In "Pokémon Ranger," mastering the use of the Capture Styler is the key to clearing the game. The following steps will help improve efficiency:

1. Choose the right time to capture: Pokémon will attack or break through the circle, saving energy. It is recommended to quickly draw a complete circle when the Pokémon is not attacking. Once an attack or line penetration is caused, the energy bar will decrease, and the Styler's energy drops to zero and returns to the nearest save point.
2. Use partner Pokémon to assist: After capturing Pokémon, they can use specific abilities (such as fire, water, cutting, etc.), not only to break obstacles, but also to enhance the efficiency of the Styler capture, such as water-type Pokémon will create bubbles to slow down the target.
3. Reasonably allocate energy and upgrade the Styler: Complete tasks and capture to improve experience, and then upgrade the energy and power of the Styler; some levels suggest rationally controlling the Styler energy first to avoid missing out on critical moments.
4. Use Ranger Base frequently for quick replenishment and saving: Pay attention to Ranger Base during the mission, where you can recharge and save; at the same time, use the "quick save" function to avoid replaying a large amount of content due to energy exhaustion.
5. Unlock Ranger Net extra tasks: After clearing the main line, trigger the Ranger Net (use a specific button to call up) to download extra tasks, you can capture legendary Pokémon such as Deoxys, Celebi, Mew, to improve collection and challenge valueNote that each copy of the game can only transfer a special Pokémon once, such as the Manaphy egg.
6. Practice the stability of stylus control: The operation is frequent and fast, it is recommended that players keep the touch screen clean and control the stability of the hand to avoid repeated failures or damage to the device.
