I 100%ed Pokémon Ranger Purely for Nostalgia

[@Indutro]

I know the '100%ed' title is grammatically incorrect, but a man's gotta try. Also, I don't really know who started the whole '100%' trend (if it is a trend), so let me know if I should credit anyone for the idea! Message for the stream gang: Life's been more than hectic, but I do want to finish the Pikavito series. Hang on tight!

[@yasingunaydiin]

You dont have to credit anyone. Thats like asking if you have to credit the person that 'invented' lets plays lol

[@Oldsah]

Loved the video.

[@iantaakalla8180]

I think 100% was popularized by speedruns that complete every event and trackable things, but it certainly does not have to be credited.

[@danball4163]

Honestly full respect; these games deserve love and adoration so you sharing them via your nostalgia is greatly appreciated. - a sad old Pokémon ranger fan

[@thankunexts]

i just want the pokemon ranger era back and it’s truly heartbreaking that we will never get another one

[@Don-Keedik]

With things like the switch being alive and well pokemon ranger isn't so farfetch'd.

[@enderking6904]

@@Don-Keedik I am on my way to suplex you for that pun

[@silverhetch3383]

the music is sooo iconic

[@its_myo]

imo it could work on the switch with the touch screen lol

[@dirtydirtyshisno7284]

@@Don-Keedik YOOOO, you could point the joycon at the screen to draw circles 😂 sadly I don’t think the tech is good enough to make that work smoothly and be solid and fun but could be really cool if they perfected it

[@gghabes4643]

more than 13 years ago, that damn Flygon was impossible for me. idk why, maybe it was my small brain as a 10 year old, but no matter what I did I was never able to capture Flygon, and I eventually quit. So glad to be able to see the rest of the story through this video, thank you and good work!

[@theamelia4580]

You know, it’s so funny you mention thinking Murphy had more screen time. I replayed the game a couple of weeks ago for the first time in YEARS to get my manaphy egg, and upon meeting Murph I thought to myself “oh I REMEMBER this hilarious dude, what a great, memorable character”, and the proceeded to not see him for the rest of the game.

[@RobSinner]

Dude, I never paid attention to Pokémon Ranger series, but I was looking for Pokémon sprites and I saw that they actually use 'big' sprites and 8-way direction move in this saga, unlike the classic Pokémon games where you could only move vertically and horizontally. And to see the sprites of the Pokémons moving around in isometric view is just awesome, why aren't main games like this? Imagine if they used Ranger sprites and type of map in the main saga, with fights that take place wherever you are, with small Pokémon sprites, instead of the classic 'battle' screen, I would go crazy if they did that!

[@avenger4027]

Yeah... The Ranger art style was PEAK. It was way better than the chibi 2.5D of the mainline games of the time (Gen 4 mainly).

[@Majin_Mike]

I remember when I beat this game as a kid the credits said my stylus only broke once which was on the Charzard story mission. Idk why but that is something that’s just always stuck with me

[@garchompelago]

I didnt 100% the ranger series but despite the fact that I completed the entire ranger series....its been a while. I dont remember the story anymore. This is such a nostalgic game for me to look back at. Do not ask about the status of my DS screen after all 3 games. 👀

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

It’s fine, my screen survived guardian signs 6 times, the bakugan game more times, and drawn to life where you draw your weapons and characters

[@YeetMan.]

I remember finding the obstacles that blocked the various paths to the regi's and being sooo hooked by the mystery and finding out it was legendaries was amazing as a kid

[@TheDoctorSlug]

This was the first game that was actually MY own. Most of the games I played growing up were my brother's. Every Pokemon game, every Nintendo game, every PS1 and PS2 game, etc. I got my DS, and THIS was actually mine-mine. I have fond memories of it till this day. Even when I visit my parent's house, I open to see my save file and play a little.

[@iam3gion204]

I played this game all the time. It was my first introduction to Pokémon at 7 years old (along side blue mystery dungeon) Years later I got to transfer the celebi up into my copy of platinum. To this day redeeming that egg is one of the highest hits of nostalgia I’ve ever had

[@La_cabine_de_Cabine]

That felt nice, I remember nothing from this game apart from the ending where I got stuck on Entei and never finished it

[@pyjamakama]

This game started my obsession with video games. As in, it was the first video game I've ever owned. Believe it was Christmas 2007.... I have so many fond memories of this game and the entire trilogy as a whole. Thanks for making this video!

[@robertogonzalezvegas1046]

Not so long ago, I completed this game to get the manaphy egg in just one day. It was a very nice and nostalgic experience. Great vid

[@BakaTaco]

I loved the Pokemon Ranger games when I was younger (though I admit, not as much as Mystery Dungeon). I didn't play much of Guardian Signs, but Shadows of Almia(?) and the first one were SO much fun. Even if I definitely did NOT beat Ranger 1, and I think I got up to the very last battle in Shadows... I sucked, okay? I was really bad. But in any case, seeing this upload made me smile. I have to thank you, Indutro, for your hard work both playing the game and making the video, because it sure put a smile on my face!

[@LS151]

I got this at release, played a lot and never touched it again. A few years ago I felt nostalgic, got my old cartridge to see if there was anything to do and I was only missing three Pokemon to complete this game's pokedex, two of them being Fearow and Snorlax. Didn't realized I had invested way more time on it than I could remembered.

[@lightningstriker9114]

As person who played all three of the ranger series, I’m thankful to see it getting some acknowledgment. Thank you for a great video and I hope you get to do the others!

[@gustavomasiero4385]

Well, now I gotta request a gameplay of Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs! This vid was such a blast we gotta see the next one

[@2devious724]

I loved this game as a kid. I wish there was more Pokémon spin-offs where you played as people who had jobs outside of the typical trainers.

[@thenamelessnpc1000]

Pokémon ranger was my first DS game and what got me into the series. Love seeing at least someone talk about this game more than "ha ha funny top spinning Pokémon spinoff"

[@reddragonpress]

You should've covered the special missions!!! I remember the Deoxys one being especially memorable.

[@Indutro]

I should have! I was playing it after this video was uploaded and had a blast

[@FrostytheAwesome]

This is so nostalgic! If I remember correctly the next game, Shadows of Almia, is much longer. Maybe that's a good candidate for a 100 hours video? I would love to see a new ranger game for the switch

[@purpleheartneptune6267]

Guardian signs is probably the one where the 100 hour is maybe possible

[@Oldsah]

might be with all the events etc.

[@anonanonymous9670]

@@purpleheartneptune6267 Yeah That's mostly because of the Temples But he can't 100% it unless he has a friend because of the Deoxys mission which you can get with the new DS servers

[@lostptr]

I am so glad, you are one of the few people that still makes content about pokemon ranger 😭

[@spectre8701]

honestly wanna see you go through shadows of almia next, it was by faaaaar my fav ranger game, and the plot was just so good imo

[@ThetaWindfall]

Definitely loved this video! Would love to see videos on the rest of the series :)

[@garchompelago]

If Pokemon Ranger for the Switch happens. Pros: Pokemon ranger for the switch Cons: Switch screen destroyed

[@Indutro]

Extra con: Stylus sold separately for $40

[@garchompelago]

@@Indutro Ah yes.....times have changed in the gaming culture. They would definitely do that

[@jessesmith4350]

They just change it to flailing your arm around with the joycon in hand

[@Indutro]

The flailing joy cons would be horrendous, but that did get me thinking: if Nintendo and GameFreak would ever properly do VR (which they probably won't), a Ranger game would be pretty neat if done well

[@Angelinawrites7]

Only way I can see ranger on switch is the joycons make the circles, or they make an add on that’s like a tablet, to use and draw circles on

[@Velgrynd]

i'm gonna watch 100% of this video just to listen to your voice (and because i've never actually watched pokemon rangers).

[@alritchtriestovlog]

i just did a Indutro binge watch! your voice is so calming for me lol

[@zephra1675]

My first ever game like, at all, was Shadows of Almia along with a DS for straight A’s. Ended up finding this at a convention stand on my 15th, since then I ended up 100%ing up to snorlax; I was even lucky enough to have the manaphy mission unused^^ Great video for nostalgia!

[@SonicBahasa]

You can always count on Krimson to give out the facts, no Googling, straight from the brain frfr

[@mikrokosmochi]

I remember when i lost my ds stylus, i used a random pencil to play pokemon ranger AND (i dont know of anyone remembers) the bakugan game. It was hell for my touchscreen, still today i have the graphite traces dug on the screen

[@burnemail2467]

I did the same but with a screwdriver 🙃

[@UM3REON]

I remember playing Pokémon Ranger when I was younger. Loved the game (my nintendo DS screen, not so much) So much nostalgia watching this, thank you so much

[@baronsaga9594]

I actually did the same thing with the entire trilogy over the last few months. Great games.

[@MaxTais]

Funny you'd mention how easy this game is at the Go-Rock Base. When I was a child, I was unable to beat the first room with the red tiles, and I'd restart my entire file whenever I reached that section. I finished the game some years later but I'll never forget the sheer dread I felt whenever reaching that chapter (Steelix was really hard for me too, but nothing compared to the 2 Rampardos in the sequel)

[@MikeyTheCartoon]

Just hearing the soundtrack at the beginning alone brought me back to a simpler time. Now I wanna replay the games.

[@HokageDX]

i remember murph being a big main character as a kid . guess he wasnt? weird

[@animevivaciousstudios3015]

Bro i really appreciate the efforts put into these videos

[@jorik0907]

Charizard and I think salamence or flygon were absolute brick walls for me, couldn't beat them for days

[@snupietherat6814]

I also love this game. I scratched my screen up real bad and the stylus would suddenly not register during capture and I got real sad

[@eddy796]

Ahh thank you for losing this videos. My parents were confused when they got my first DS and accidentally bought me this pokémon ranger game instead of a a main line gamer and seeing these games brings back happy memories.

[@Dra-tyl]

The sprites in these games are always so fun!

[@stingerplayz2128]

Try 100% pokemon conquest, it may take longer then 100 hours cause of the grinding needed.

[@Themaskedgamer97]

THE CHILLS THE INTRO MUSIC GAVE ME, this is the best Pokemon game ever, sadly they never got to make more of this... (Maybe bc it ruined the DS screens 😂)

[@aelaudhunter4685]

Definitely enjoyed the nostalgia from this blast from the past, poor murph, he gets some more love in the second game IIRC, is Shadows of Almia in your sight lines for the future? Good quality as always mate!

[@sleepypyromancer7899]

God I forgot how much I love the Ranger games, I should replay them. Shadows of Almia will always be my favourite.

[@yellow8760]

Would love to see the rest of the ranger franchise, I never played this one but loved all the others as a kid

[@homunculiar]

Found this playthrough video thankfully on your channel but you should 100%(ed) link your previous videos in the subsiquent ones! Ive gone through many playthroughs on other channels because they take the time to talk about the previous video (and the included link) in the video itself. Just some feedback! Great videos man, appreciate the more mellow and subdued energy of your commentary

[@ela-811]

This and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon were some of the god-tier DS spin-off games. Wish they kept the Rangers IP going, at least into Gen 6 when I last remember Mainline Titles had Poke-Rangers. _Not to mention the ARTSTYLE of both of these games!_

[@icyphuong]

Just around last week, I’ve reset all 3 of my Pokémon Rangers game to replay them all for nostalgia too! Trying to 100% the game is so fun

[@mcatreus655]

I still have ptsd from the volcano part as a kid It was impossible for me at the time

[@SymphonyZach]

I did 100% on shadows of almia as a kid. Took forever but worth it. Still got the save too

[@wutxanfel5350]

Love seeing the ranger games get some love, also, the head sprites are all cut off for some reason💀

[@UnwantedGhost1]

Hope Pokémon Colosseum, Mystery Dungeon, Rangers, Rumble Blast and Conquest gets a revival later on this following decade.

[@UnwantedGhost1]

Let's not forget Pokken Tournament. Hopefully before or shortly after Generation 10.

[@kennanrattigan2682]

This and conquest are my favorite spinoffs

[@polarexe493]

I 100%ed (lol) the game for fun back in the day bc it was so different and fun to just travel with my team. I also just liked being the best at making circles out of my family and friends

[@notmiscares3918]

You missed to include the Deoxys mission, but thats a dettail great video

I'd love to see a 4th ranger game wip pokemon up to scarlet and violet, altho idk how the loops will work

I could never beat my copy as a kid and I couldn't remember why. Then I picked it up years later and relazied it kept crashing after the final mission was completed.

To be fair, most militaries give you a uniform for your trial period.

[@thetrapmaster]

Pokemon ranger was my very first pokemon and ds game and I remember some parts of the game still like the sewers and the skitty quest. But I never know about the post game and probally have to go back and play and get the manaphy egg. I think I did not get that one.

[@MegaMew204]

Dude this game is one of the games I'd spend SO much money buying

[@popskar]

This was my first DS game. It's one of the best games in the console!

I wonder if nintendo would consider a mobile remake of this game. I feel like the touchscreen would meld with the mechanics.

Shadows of almia is my fav. The first one was hard

[@Joel97_]

I 100% this game when it first came out after many hours of suffering since I messed up with my DS's touching screen after not being able to beat the Muk mission. Also, I hate the fact that the only character that shared the same name as me, got localized to a different name completely in my language

[@Alex-mq6qi]

I remember as a kid (6-11 years old) I had a lot of trouble beating this game. Then one time when I was 19 I decided to pick it up again and I was constantly thinking "oh this is where the captures got hard". Except none of them were. Young me really sucked 😂 guess I didn't realize how broken Minun/Plusle's Pokehelp was back then
