About this product

Product Information

The second entry in the Pokémon Ranger series, Shadows of Almia once again finds gamers offering help to people, Pokémon, and nature as they work their way up to the rank of Top Ranger. As always, much of the gameplay is derived from capturing Pokémon creatures by using the stylus to encircle them, and then taking advantage of their unique abilities to complete quests. The various quests entail activities such as dousing forest fires, rescuing stranded people, and delivering packages, and successfully completed missions earn players power-ups and rank advancements. Gamers can only make use of a captured Pokémon's skill once, using the "Poké Assist" for help with capturing another creature, or the "Field Move" for help with environmental challenges. However, there are hundreds of permanent sidekick "Partner Pokémon" from which to choose, including creatures from Pokémon: Diamond and Pokémon: Pearl.

  • Big Step Up From The Original.

    Major improvement over the initial installment. Capturing now works with a progress bar instead of how many consecutive loops a pokemon requires. This makes for more interesting captures. Different environments, and a longer story, make this game much more enjoyable than the first.

  • Fun Game

    I've always enjoyed the Pokémon Ranger games and was glad to see this listing. Game was delivered fast and everything in the description was there. Game works great and the case has almost no wear. Will buy from again.

  • Best Pokémon game I’ve seen on writing alone

    The writing for the game is the best part, the voice lines are great, the fighting and capturing mechanic is unique, the story is consistent. Overall a 10/10 game

  • Love it!

    This game is so fun! It has some humor, lots of mystery, a pretty big world to explore, and lots of Pokemon to collect. It is easy enough for little kids to play, but still hard enough to keep teenagers on their toes! I loved it!! Even if you're not a super-Pokemon fan (like myself), you would still love this game!

  • Exactly what I paid for and a well worth purchase.

    Though the $40 price tag had me hesitant, the product is definitely worth the purchase if you’re into the game. The package came in perfectly sealed and undamaged and actually arrived a day early, which was awesome. The game itself is extremely fun, being completely different than anything else Pokemon had released. The gameplay can be a bit repetitive but isn’t ridiculously easy, the variety of Pokemon makes things enjoyable, and the dialogue especially for the villain team can be really funny at times. Overall, I’m completely happy with this product and I would definitely recommend it to anyone whose looking to give it a try.
