[@bookmew1081]

Thankyou, I hope we get Pokemon Ranger DX with Motion Controls within the next 2 years for Switch. I never understood why Pokemon Ranger 4 never happened during Gen 5, or why there wasn't any attempt to make a Gen 6 Ranger game for 3DS.

[@jbcatz5]

A major strength of the Ranger games was the story. By putting more focus on that over the Gotta Catch ‘em All, the NCPs and areas could focus on incorporating towns, forests and other environments into the plot. I honestly feel Pokemon Ranger would be a great basis for a movie, as it de-emphasises battling (which the Detective Pikachu movie mostly avoided primary through Rhyme City banning battles) and is more about people, Pokemon and the world they live in.

[@NA-xp2cr]

Didn't they make a movie already?

[@jbcatz5]

Joey K Based on Detective Pikachu, which showed that a movie based on a video game and one that follows the storyline can work as a movie.

[@NA-xp2cr]

@@jbcatz5 no there is a Pokemon ranger movie. A quick Google search brings up results.

[@jbcatz5]

Joey K Live action! While the Manaphy movie tied into Pokémon Ranger it followed the Pokémon movie design more than the Pokémon Ranger game plot (right down to Ash saving the day) and served as a movie length advert for the Manaphy event. A live action movie closer reflecting the Pokémon Ranger games has lots of potential to showcase the environment, Pokémon and how people interact with both. Detective Pikachu showed this in an urban setting, so getting out into nature proper (not just the Torterra garden) would be able to contrast that.

[@NA-xp2cr]

@@jbcatz5 detective Pikachu was a one off. Pokemon isn't ready to go in a live action direction yet. Their starting point IMHO should not be Pokemon ranger.

[@KitCatRawr]

What I loved about this series apart from just loving the series was how much it expanded the world. There was actually people doing alternate jobs to trainer, gym leader, shopkeeper or the like. Also gameplay wise I enjoyed that as a human character, you (player) would actually do the equivalent to battling Pokemon in a much more fast paced less turn based environment.

[@abbyp9394]

God I miss Pokemon ranger, I spend the entire 3ds's lifespan hoping they'd make a new game and they didn't. I really hope they make one for switch, which honestly seems less likely since switch doesn't use a stylus so they'd have to rework the gameplay, but god I'm hoping for a new release.

[@bluemoonkraken8410]

Unless they make a stylus for the lite. Or hande held form or mobile form of the switch. There may be gope somehow. They did makes an awesome new Mystery dungeon games.

Personaly l liked the guardian signs a lot,because of the past missions that can get pretty challenging(and since l did in single player using emulator,l only used a hack to stop the clock,otherwise wouldnt be possible to do all the past missions) Even so,my favorite from the series is shadows of almia

[@carmena.gonzalezrios8372]

I remember that completing the last missions solo hell! I passed it at level 80 but it was very very difficult. Rip ds screen

[@summerevening421]

I love Shadows of Almia, but I remember the first time I played it you had to capture this Rampardos in a rocky mountain and you had to do loops inbetween when it falls rocks on you, and I couldnt get the timing right so I took damage every time. I was so frustrated that I stopped playing the game for a while. When I eventually I went back on it I actually forgot about some things that when I was reunited with Keith I legit forgot who he was. So they were like "It's your old classmate!" and I was just there like "...Who?" But yeah I love the Pokemon Ranger series

[@dragonstouch1042]

Summer Evening I hated that battle too. The only reason I survived is because Pacharisu was my partner pokemon

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

Out of all the boss pokemon the Rampardos was the hardest literally. Hell i had a easier time on Darkrai than i did on Rampardos as the gauge goes down too quickly and you are at a point in the game where you do not do enough damage to it to the point one rock hurts a lot like 2 or 3 kills ya. Even when i was not trying to speedrun it the only way i could beat Rampardos was literally poke assists as its weakness pokemon were in the area

[@akeuroma]

🥺 These games are my comfort games tbfh.. I love the jokes and originality of the series (especially in the first one) and it makes me so so sad that it’s never gonna be continued... I mean, you can only play the games so many times (I’ve played the first one 11 times, the second 7 or more times, and the third uhhh quite a few times... just not as much) and they mean so much to me! I would adore a switch version but I know it isn’t coming, waaaaaah... I mean they’re making Pokémon games on phone now too but I HIGHLY doubt it’ll reappear as a mobile game. I suppose it’s time to play the first game again. ;;>

Colosseum and XD were different.

[@bettycreepersayuri-chan809]

*Me in the corner waiting for "What happened to PokePark"*

[@christianthompson2768]

Yeah honestly, if they ever made another Ranger game, say on the Switch, and I doubt they will, I would imagine it would have completely revamped controls. While it could work in more traditional way in handheld (same with how Mario Maker has touch screen in handheld), I think they would completely redesign how the game works otherwise. I think it could be cool to have more realtime almost JRPG system where you can either switch between partner Pokemon or just have them be automated AI like in the original ranger games. Otherwise, you would be the trainer character and could capture Pokemon using motion controls and buttons to aim and launch something from the capture styler at the Pokemon and then use some sort of input (probably motion controls) to make motions/loops and attempt to capture the Pokemon. Now do I think this would happen? Nope, but I think it's one of the ways they could adapt the game to the Switch.

[@ejmeddoms613]

if they did adapt it for the switch they could make custom joycons shaped like a capture styler, they could probably even make different ones based on each ranger game's styler bc i mean i sure as hell would buy them

[@naverilllang]

Just be thankful that Pokemon Rangers Wii was never a thing

[@brunolinares604]

I recently completed the Guardian Signs game and I can also back up that yes, game is super easy and simple (probably feedback for Shadows of Almia, whose bosses I heard it made people rage), but still quite fun. Not sure if hot take or not, but I dread that Ranger beaomes a mobile phone game, given Nintendo's story with mobile games....

[@mimileaksytp1539]

Even if it does become a mobile game, it won’t last long. Rumble Rush and Duel have both shut down within about 2 years of launching (Rumble Rush is closing next month)

[@naverilllang]

Wait People thought Almia was hard? That game was waaaay easier than the original Rangers game.

[@bdt2002gaming]

Try the past missions now. That’s where they put the actual challenge, lemme tell ya.

[@Ben.158]

I’m in love with Ranger games and I will always be. It’s in my opinion one of the best spin-offs ever, Shadows of Almia is my first place as well as Explorers of Sky. I heard that Nintendo copyrighted a stylus and renewed the copyright for the whole Ranger series. Hope this means something. Plus, now I’ve been in quarantine for almost 60 days, literally the day before the lockdown one of my best friends bought me Guardian Signs and she was supposed to give it to me on Monday. So unlucky.

Pokemon ranger was the very first video game I ever played. I still have the cartridge today all these years later, needless to say this series holds a special place in my heart.

[@nerdyvee5022]

The Pokémon ranger games were my childhood. Shadows over almia is my favorite, but I still need to get the first. I still hopeing that they make a new game. Also does anybody know poképark? I loved this two games! And also there I hope that it gets a sequel.

Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia was my first actual pokemon game I remember playing (my real first was soul silver but I barely remember that one) and I REALLY miss those games.

I’ve replayed all three of them multiple times and cosplayed as a ranger from shadows of almia, I think you can consider me a super fan and I really miss it :(

[@darksonicm1]

I wouldn’t mind if they gave this game a let’s go kind of gimmick where they make a special one handed joy con that looked like the capture styler. I’ve enjoyed shadows more, but that’s because they fix all the issues with what the first game had many problems with. Looking at you steelix boss fight

[@mitchellhancock7920]

That boss was hard. No pun intended.

[@user-sp2jg9rx8r]

[@Da_padilla]

I remember having the biggest baddest pokemon following me, even though they were useless.

[@The_D_ray]

The series was pretty good honestly, especially considering that it demanded more skill than strategy (ok maybe excluding Guardian Signs and it's broken Pichu assistant). I can understand that it will never be back, but you know, I'm fine with it. Makes the DS era even more special.

Well, you can’t have this series without a touchscreen- *oh wait.*

[@floatyfriend]

I could see a motion control implementation for a switch installment... Like holding a ZR trigger to "touch down" the line, and waving it around. They'd probably have to change mechanics a bit to make this work, though - can't imagine drawing like 100 loops in one go. Granted, we'd all be shredded.

[@CrowofJudgement461]

I would still like to see Pokemon Ranger make a reappearance, and it doesn’t even have to retain the loop drawing aspect. They could have a slightly different capturing method to better suit the switch’s controls, but the thing that I enjoyed so much about Pokémon ranger was how it gave such a different sense of adventure from the main series games. Seeing a Pokémon ranger game with the open world aspects of Legends Arceus would be amazing

[@themadderhatter8528]

Charizard was honestly the hardest and most infuriating capture for me in the first game.

[@darqlizard]

i know it’s not likely they make another pokémon ranger game but it would be so fun to use the joycon as the styler, a la wii-mote days

[@lawrencebautista1]

I'd like to see another Ranger game. And this time, I wish they'd incorporate the traditional battle mechanic from the mainline games. We see from the anime that the rangers do command the pokémon they capture to do battles.

[@usermcskull4713]

Ranger on Wii U actually would make sense because Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a touch screen Wii U game that's a spiritual sequel to a ds game, they could've done the same for Ranger. Would've been nice to get more spin offs on the Wii U too

[@Rikoyasha15]

[@bookmew1081]

I loved the story for Shadows of Almia best too! Starting at the Ranger School & eventually reuniting with your classmates! Then there was the backstory with the king who fell to darkness after banishing 2 of his 3 children & then exiled himself with each of those 4 becoming a different crystal. Fragments of the 3 crystals who represented the children would be used to create the Final Upgrade to the Styler that would be able to loop Darkrai.

I could see the capture working with joystick controls very well like hold down say the A button to start capturing then use the joystick don't really matter which to form the circles around the pokemons. Think on how they did Skyward Sword for the switch as originally that game was for the wii and needed motion controls but you can just use a controller by using the joystick to move the sword arm. Like it can be done even in 3D just you would have to convence them that it is worth it and would sell well
