Shadows of Almia

Who has it and how do you like it?
Is it better than the first one?

I have it and I love it. This way, you can get more pokemon (Darkrai, Riolu, Manaphy) Where in the original you can only get Manaphy. Also, the plot is more detailed, which i like. And who knows, maybe they'll have a mission for the Azure Flute, whenever Arceus is officially announced :p

So yes, it is MUCH better than the original ranger.

SHADOWS OF ALMIA FTW!

Yes, I have it also, I have obtained The Riolu, Manaphy Egg, and Darkrai, I think this game has just enough branches though, It starts with School which I liked alot! Then everyone leaves and reunites with the help of Erma and Prof. Hastings!

How do you get Darkrai? I dont know how.

Download the Special Mission off Wi-Fi.
Then prepare for a Big Mission, but you have to have completed the game

Thanks for the help, im done and ill download it tonight

Cool, but you can't transfer it twice, so clone it alot on D/P/P

I'm hoping to get this game, but I will probably only be able to get it if my sister lets me have a go on hers.

Cool, I got the 3 pokemon from it if anyone needs them!

should i get it?

Yea Shaymin, its Awesome!

I got Darkrai finally!!
btw i love the story line to get him

It was hard, right?

Lmao no it was very easy

Haha, I am joking, it wasn't even easy in the game.

I have never picked up a Pokemon Ranger game, so I am clueless about what the objective of the game is, let alone the latest one. Would somebody mind explaining to me about the game?

Pokémon Ranger is a role-playing game which is designed in a format radically different than that of traditional Pokémon RPGs. The player controls a Pokémon Ranger in the Fiore region and catches Pokémon, temporarily, by using a device called a "capture styler", which is controlled by the stylus. The storyline of the game is set out in 10 main missions with three sub-missions. The only Pokémon that travels permanently with the player is a Minun if the player chooses the male hero or Plusle if the player chooses the female hero. The player must loop the Pokémon with the "styler" a certain amount of times to capture them. Pokémon may attempt to flee the styler or attack it. The styler has an energy bar that is similar to an HP counter for Pokémon on the other Pokémon adventure games, when the energy bar of the styler is completely depleted, the player is transported to the last save terminal. The styler can be recharged in a Pokémoncenter like manner at a ranger base, save points are in the bases and scattered throughout the game. There is a quick save option to use in emergencies when a save port can't be found or is too far away. Temporarily caught Pokémon can be used in the field to accomplish tasks and solve puzzles by cutting, tackling, shooting fire, blowing water, etc. They can also be used to enhance the styler's loop line, if a water Pokémon is selected to aid in capturing a new Pokémon , the styler will produce a temporary bubble that immobilizing the target, preventing it from attacking or fleeing, for example. The storyline revolves around a single Pokémon Ranger — Lunick (カヅキ Kazuki?) or Solana (ヒナタ Hinata?), depending on the player's choice. In addition to the protagonist characters in the game, several other Pokémon Rangers are part of the Ranger Union. Each ranger leader holds domain over that town's rangers. These rangers are named Cameron (カムリ Kamuri?), Elita (エリダ Erida?), Joel (ジョウ Jō?), and Spenser (ハヤテ Hayate?). A professor named Professor Hastings (シンバラ教授 Shinbara-kyōju?, Professor Shinbara) also plays a significant role in the game, as the Chief of Technology for the Ranger Union. The new villainous group, the Go-Rock Squad (ゴーゴー団 Gōgō-dan?, Team Go-Go), has four sub-leaders called the Go-Rock Quads, the leader's three sons and daughter. Similar to Jessie and James of Team Rocket, the Quads have a motto they repeat every time they are encountered. Their original plot is to use the Super Styler, a more powerful version of the original Styler that resembles an organ, to take control of Entei, Suicune, and Raikou to attack citizens of Fiore. They would then command them to stop, leading people to believe the Go-Rock Squad were heroes. They would afterwards command Pokémon to start other problems and charge money to solve the problem. The player is then required to prove their worth in three extra post ending missions and capture the enraged legendaries; Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza.
In the optional manaphy egg mission it is revealed that the leader of the go rock squad has reformed and helps the player stop the remnants of the go rock squad from stealing the manaphy egg.

Well it certainly sounds a lot like the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue games with Team Meanies as the bad guys, but Go-Rock in here, only you are a Ranger and all that. I may well get this game, as how you have described it, it sounds rather entertaining.

I consider Ranger MUCH better the MD series. Don't get meh wrong, i love MD. But Ranger is highly superior.

I have merely seen screen-shots of the game, and they look rather bad quality, though all screen-shots for DS and GBA seem to make the game's graphics look bad, don't they? I'll have a look at some reviews and consider it further. Thank you for your help, Aipom.
