A couple years ago I tried to Solo the Multiplayer missions, got to the Lightning Temple, specifically the Mission where you gotta run back and Forth while avoiding Claydol, and because of the insane amount of quick Circling I needed to do (which also causes me to apply more pressure because my god) is the reason my 3DS' Touchscreen no longer works in the middle of the screen.

[@dj_performance]

Maybe there is some lore in the back and he got forced to do so. Purple Eyes just kidnapped a man's whole family. He could've done anything at this point xd This game is "just a spin-off" but still one of my favorite Pokémon games. I have know idea why it took them so long to implement the free flight mechanic in the main game. They added it in OR/AS 💀I loved that shit when I was ten years old and aren't kids like the target audience? I think we nostalgic people could tell them everything that they need to add haha

[@tomi8603]

Maybe a hot take but guardian signs ist THE BEST Ranger games out of the 3. Great story, really nice legendary pokemon lore, YOU CAN RIDE LEGENDARYS!! Just an awesome game!

[@amedeotoraldo5840]

Back then you could ride legendaries before it was cool. Such a shame that the games sold poorly and the series got discontinued (i doubt that even if it sold better the series could have made it out of the 3ds/wiiu era, but still we would've loved a fourth game)

Guardian Signs is one of my favorite games in the entirety of the Pokémon franchise, it’s part of the reason I picked up the Mischievous Pichu promo last year. The Multiplayer missions were fun. I had a friend in HS that had the game as well and every morning we’d run a couple missions on the way to school. I don’t remember how far we got, but I think we got up to the light temple. Unfortunately never got to finish the multiplayer missions due to him moving to NY my senior year. I think we got close to successfully getting the Deoxys

[@ThetaWindfall]

So glad you covered these games, hits me right in the nostalgia.

Won’t even lie, this trilogy has inspired me to buy guardian signs and the og ranger games, I have played guardian signs but it was on the Wii U virtual console (it was weird) and have never played ranger so I’m excited to get into them both again Thanks for the inspiration…I just have to wait till I have the money for it, they’re kinda expensive to get ahold of here through legitimate Australian sources 😅

[@barrymckokiner3758]

Play pokemon ranger shadows of almia. That's the best one

[@marblercc]

I’ve been looking forward to this video. Guardian sings is my favorite of the Ranger games, and seeing you play the first part made me want to replay my copy of guardian signs aswell. I’ve even purchased a pichu plush and made a little prop ukulele to have an ukulele pichu of my own !

[@bdt2002gaming]

Seeing Guardian Signs content in 2023 makes me happy. It’s one thing to be nostalgic for a game, but this game has impacted me in ways most of you couldn’t even imagine.

[@Cloud_Strife_]

I played this game a lot back when I was a kid, but I never managed to get it to 100%. I never even knew Lugia was in this game. There's still a lot I love about this game though; the soundtrack is by far my favorite out of the three Ranger games, and I love how the environments look much more detailed compared to the previous entries. I just wish the multiplayer missions were scaled down in difficulty when you played by yourself. I remember trying to beat them as a kid, but I had nobody to play with, so the furthest I got was the Ice Temple.

[@swampert564]

I never played the Ranger games despite having hundreds to thousands of hours invested in Pokemon. It's cool to see them even if only second-hand.

[@DarkraiDrive]

I remember my uncle got me this game on release because of how hyped i was for it. Aint no way it dropped 13 years ago

[@yepmulti]

4 months late, but I wanted to add that the past missions are impossible to 100% solo, and im not talking about the difficulty. the past missions have their own "browser" in the form of litographs. but certain pokemon are not able to be captured if you arent in co-op. an example that comes to mind is flareon, which only spawns sometimes in one specific fire temple mission. but he's on an isolated platform, and the bridge to that platform only appears if two switches are held down simultaneously. there are more examples, but flareon is the earliest. on top of that, completing each mission really fast and getting either an A or S rank will give reward litographs. A rank has its own reward, but S rank actually has two potential rewards, and one of them is considered a rare drop. meaning you have to complete a mission on great pace (which may not even be doable solo, I havent tested everything myself) several times to get some pokemon. and if that wasn't enough, whenever a regular pokemon drops their litograph, theres a chance they'll actually give you the litograph for a (pre)evolved form instead. a handful of pokemon are either... A: flat out exclusive to this mechanic, and can only be obtained a fraction of the time from a different pokemon's litograph (which already doesn't spawn super often...) or B: able to be captured straight up, but for some reason have a much greater chance of dropping the evolution's litograph rather than their own. either way, this makes a non-negligible portion of the past "browser" extremely annoying to obtain. tl;dr I dont blame you in the slightest for skipping the past missions

[@groudonvert7286]

With how much you need to grind for Arceus in solo, it's not that much of a problem to get S rank everywhere.

[@Laprisu]

yoooo, the first game I 100%ed, too INCLUDING all the DLC missions

[@TheSkinnyZ]

The way I remembered next to nothing about this game. But these flying scooters along with the different signs definitely rang a bell.

[@patrickserrats6919]

bro, guardian signs was like my favorite game when i was a child and its easily my most replayed game, so its great to more content from it

[@TheErector]

Yeah, the only way you're beating the Light Temple solo is with an Action Replay or a death grind to 99. Sad that the Ranger trilogy is over. It's been fun.

[@groudonvert7286]

Level 99 is not needed. It's possible with a level 70

[@Killixn_]

This was the first Ranger game I fully completed. It was so fun and I loved the signs mechanic. Great video fr!

[@oko7390]

I waited so much for that video after the other ones. I played it myself again and did 100% because of nostalgia

[@Cool-Vest]

I attempted to do the multiplayer mode alone. There's this one awful level in the thunder temple that requires you and a second player to split up to unlock multiple sets of alternating doors. I passed it with a lot of grinding. Right now I'm on the shadow temple. Styler level 50 or 60.

[@SnehaR1309]

Your recent uploads have been so nice and cozy to watch! Excited to see what’s up next ☺️

[@shanewhelan1381]

I beat the multiplayer missions with a level 67 styler like 2 years ago now, it’s definitely doable and so rewarding. Considering you 100% the game it’d definitely still be worth a try, grinding Salamanca and vesiqueen for levels is the way to go when you’re attempting to beat light temple

Pokémon ranger Guardian signs and Pokémon conquest and Pokémon black and white 2 are tied for my #1 favorite Pokémon game. Pokémon black 2 was my first Pokémon video game and it’s the one I know the most so that holds a special place. Guardian signs was my first and only ranger game and it was so damn fun. I remember playing it so much. It’s been years but I still remember the story. Conquest was my favorite battle wise I think. I’m a fan of those kind of turn based games the most. I gotta get guardian signs agai and try 100% it

[@marcobelli6856]

Play ranger 1 and 2 they have less things compared to guardians sings but I think they are way better. Guardians signs was just fan service with all those legends. The first two are more fun and better written. And there are legendaries in the first two too

Loved watching this series, always great to see these games get the recognition they deserve. Btw I had the same trouble with the corrupted bonus missions before, it's a bug in the MissionInjector. Later on I just found a save file that had the missions on them that I would use for subsequent playthroughs but last year I found out there's a patch for MissionInjector that does make it work, so you could google that if you'd still want to do those missions.

[@lilyportan9915]

the multiplayer content drove me and my friend insane, even in co-op.. because that Arceus bastard is such a pain

[@demarcomixon]

I really enjoyed Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs. However I found the Oblivia Region to be lackluster. The Fiore Region and the Almia region seemed somewhat fuller with more settlements. I really didn’t like how there was just one Pokémon Ranger for the entire region. It seemed very odd. The Aquaresort was a boring big city for a Pokémon game. Like The Almia region had PuelTown and the Fiore region had Fall city both very cosmopolitan and expansive compared to the AquaResort. Overall I liked the plot and going back in time was an unique experience.

[@tripled2096]

its a shame the multiplayer missions are so unplayable solo. there's a lot of content there that most people just wont get to see :p
