Pokemon Ranger was originally released on the Nintendo DS in 2006. Players follow a newly graduated Pokemon Ranger, either Lunick or Solana. Rather than capture Pokemon, these people explore their natural environments and protect them, temporarily befriending wild Pokemon to aid them in their exploits. The Go-Rock Squad is attempting to influence Entei, Raikou, and Suicune for their own plots, and it’s up to the player to stop them.

 

Pokemon Ranger is $9.99 on the Nintendo Wii U eShop.
