Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia (Nintendo DS) - Description
Game Ratings
In Pokon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, you once again play as a Pokon Ranger, working to help people, Pokon and nature in a new area called the Almia Region. Starting out as a Student Ranger, you quickly earn the title of a full-fledged Pokon Ranger. As you succeed in more and more missions, you will aspire to become the highest Ranger rank: Top Ranger. Along the way you meet and capture all kinds of different Pokon.
Capture wild Pokon and create a team to clear obstacles and puzzles encountered along the way. After using a Pokon's ability, it will leave your team; however, you will have a Partner Pokon 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.
Use the Capture Styler to capture wild Pokon. Once they are captured, wild Pokon will follow the player around until their powers are used (either in a PokAssist or a Field Move). A PokAssist is when the player uses an already captured Pokon to help capture another wild Pokon. A Field Move is when the player uses a captured Pokon's power to clear an obstacle in the way or perform another helpful function.
Features:
- Pokon Ranger is a unique action-adventure series that features a fun, different way to capture Pokon with the Nintendo DS stylus, which controls an item called the Capture Styler in the game. Players circle the Pokon 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 Pokon of each type to complete Missions - giving you many options on how to approach different challenges. Every Pokon is different, and capturing a Pokon allows you to use its abilities to overcome various obstacles and challenges you will face along the way. The job of a Pokon 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 Pokon 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 Pokon.
- This is the first game in the Pokon Ranger series to feature Pokon from Pokon Diamond and Pokon Pearl.
