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

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