Gotta Catch ‘em All
Yay! Another game review! So I’ve been playing a really cute game called Pokemon Ranger on DS. For all of you that are going lol n00b, I pwn you on UT… well, I play fps too, but at the moment, my computer doesn’t have a video card inside it. So I’m going down the line of hundreds of DS games I have and playin them all.
Pokemon Ranger DS is about your quest to become a great pokemon ranger. You travel from village to village and are given missions from the senior rangers to help citizens and get to a higher level. These bad guys called the Go-Rock Squad end up stealing special equipment from the good guy pokemon rangers team, and they use this to capture pokemon for their evil deeds.
The world you play PR in is pretty small. You get to choose between a male or female character and name them as you want. My characters name was Snubs (go figure). Capturing pokemon is fun. Now, you don’t throw them in a Pokeball and battle other characters. You capture wild pokemon, they follow you around as you travel, then you use them once and they are freed. Of course, you can capture them again if you want. You can talk to all the characters in the game, and their conversations give me the idea this game is made for children and teens.
Leveling up is probably the main reason I’m still playing this. I was able to get through the game in about 3-4 days, and every time I leveled up, I wanted to get to the next level. 
 You also can get up to a Rank 10 in the game as a pokemone ranger.
My least favorite part about the game is the cut scenes. The chat bubbles are slow (even on the fastest speed), and if something is happening that requires a part of the plot, you dont have the choice to skip. This is annoying if you fail a mission and have to restart. You have to sit through all the information again…
I’d give this game a 7 / 10. All around a fun, cute game. It’s easy to pass the time with Pokemon Ranger DS, and it’s a bit different from other pokemon games. I wish I could skip cut scenes and I wish the game was longer.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Catch ‘em All, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
