Pokemon Ranger Details
Nintendo begins to talk about its new type of Pokemon game.
by Anoop Gantayat
October 21, 2005 - Over in Japan, Nintendo is starting to give Pokemon fans exactly what they want: DS titles starring the world famous Pokemon characters. Pokemon Torouze is already out and will be followed later this year by Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon. But the real fun begins next year. No, not with Diamond and Pearl, but with Pokemon Ranger!
The latest issues of Nintendo Dream, Dengeki GameCube and Famitsu Cube + Advance (there's no shortage of Nintendo-specific game magazines in Japan) have first details on Ranger. First, here's what we know already. Ranger is a new Pokemon game set in the world of the upcoming Pokemon Ranger movie. The game will link up with Diamond and Pearl and focus on the Pokemon Rangers, a group that travels the world and use Pokemon to defend nature from evil.
You'll be able to play as two characters in Pokemon Ranger: a boy and a girl. These two aren't the Pokemon Trainers we've come to know in all the Pokemon games so far. They're both Pokemon Rangers. The two characters hold a device in their hands that has an antenna. The nature of this device is unknown at this time, but it looks like it will play a key role in the game.
Pokemon Ranger keeps the gameplay on the bottom screen, with the top screen used to display a radar map and your list of Pokemon friends. The radar map shows what appears to be wild Pokemon in the area. The friend list has slots for seven Pokemon along with markers that seem to indicate special powers for the creatures (we're doing a lot of speculating here, but it's because Nintendo is being shy with the details).
Judging by the shots we've seen, Pokemon Ranger is a 2D action RPG with more advanced visuals than we've come to expect from the Pokemon series. As you move around the play field, the Pokemon who are in your party follow you. The bottom screen includes a few strange meters whose purpose remain a mystery at this point.
Sadly, Nintendo has yet to make screenshots of Pokemon Ranger available on the internet.
