Game Description:

Pokémon Ranger [Japanese] (Nintendo DS/3DS, 2006) introduces a unique spin on the Pokémon franchise where you don’t just throw Poké Balls—you capture Pokémon by drawing loops on the DS touchscreen with your stylus. In this Japanese edition, you step into the role of a Ranger tasked with protecting both Pokémon and people, using your quick drawing skills to temporarily enlist Pokémon helpers for puzzles, battles, and environmental challenges.

1. Stylus-based gameplay: Capture Pokémon by encircling them in real-time battles on the touchscreen.
2. Ranger missions: Assist townsfolk, solve environmental puzzles, and tackle Pokémon-related crises.
3. Exclusive events: The Japanese version included limited-time downloadable missions that tied into mainline Pokémon games.
4. Adventure focus: Instead of collecting Pokémon permanently, you partner with them temporarily to overcome obstacles and progress the story.
