Pokémon fans; get ready for a grand adventure this winter as
Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia launches across Europe on 21st
November. Sworn to protect the people and the Pokémon of the all-new
Almia Region, players will be powering up their Capture Styler to
team up with Pokémon in an adventure to thwart the evil forces
endangering Almia. Featuring Pokémon familiar from Pokémon
Diamond and
Pokémon
Pearl, the Almia Region offers adventure around every
corner, including additional missions that can be downloaded using
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia players start off as a
rookie at the Ranger School, with the ultimate goal of becoming Top
Ranger still a distant dream. But as soon as a series of mysterious
events disturb the peace in Almia, the brave Rangers of the Ranger
Union are called in to investigate. Who is causing Pokémon all
across the region to behave so strangely - and why? Players will get
to the bottom of the biggest threat Almia has ever faced, uncovering
the origins of the Ranger Union in the process.
Challenging Missions and dozens of additional Quests will put
players' skills to the test as they try out the revamped process of
capturing Pokémon by befriending them with a device called the
Capture Styler. This makes use of the NintendoDS Touch Screen in a
fun and exciting way. Players must slide their Stylus on the
NintendoDS Touch Screen and draw loops around the target Pokémon
with the Styler's Capture Disc - but be careful, capturing Pokémon
is not as easy as you think!
Players must work out how to use the specific strengths of Pokémon
they've befriended to their advantage. By using Poké Assists in
clever ways even the most dangerous Pokémon can be captured. Helping
out the people of Almia in need allows players to earn all sorts of
power-ups for their Capture Styler, preparing them for the dangerous
boss encounters ahead.
The skills of befriended Pokémon will also come in handy to conquer
the many obstacles found in the varied terrain of the Almia Region.
Skilful use of Field Moves specific to certain Pokémon will help
players cut vines, cross underwater lakes and burn logs blocking
their path. But a Ranger can't rely on other Pokémon alone, and must
develop skills to climb dangerous cliffs, navigate the narrow
platforms of a treacherous temple or find a way to escape from the
enemy's hideout.
True Pokémon Rangers will be rewarded with additional Missions that
can be downloaded via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which can result in
unexpected surprises.
So get ready to live a wild new life as a Pokémon Ranger. Team up
with your favourite Pokémon and defeat a mysterious evil as
Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is launched across Europe on
21st November 2008. |
