Pokemon Ranger 2: Shadows of Almia (November 10th, 2008!)

Today, on November 10th, the sequel to Pokemon Ranger came out in the U.S. It is known as Pokemon Ranger 2: Shadows of Almia, or in Japanese, Pokemon Ranger Batonnage.

 

 

 

This game doesn’t have many changes like the other Pokemon games… the reason WHY Lucario IS on the cover is because

1. He plays a major role in Pokemon Movie 8: LUCARIO and the Mystery of Mew

2. You can obtain Riolu in the game.

So those are the reasons… the starters are Munchlax, Starly, or Pachirisu. But you can change your partner later… anyway, they changed a few minor things, and it’s a lot harder (some people don’t think so but in my point of view after trying it). Instead of having the number of loops you have to circle the Pokemon, the Pokemon has a HP bar. If you circle it enough times, you capture it. But if you don’t do it fast enough, the Pokemon will regain its HP. Bosses are EXTREMELY hard, and I doubt there are any AR codes for this game (yet).

 

Bosses:

Tangrowth, Toxicroak, Rampardos, Drapion, Spiritomb, Froslass, LUCARIO, Infernape, HEATRAN, Kingdra, Gliscor, CRESSELIA, Magnezone, Electivire, Garchomp, Rhyperior, Magmortar, Gallade, Dusknoir, Darkrai, and Regigigas.

Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia coming out November 10th (5 days from now)! Also, the only way to get Regigigas is by obtaining 266 Pokemon in the game. You will gain entrance to a temple (forget the name), and Regigigas will be waiting inside. He is the hardest of all bosses in the game.

Small Update for Pokemon Ranch with Wii

“The Japanese version of My Pokémon Ranch, called Everyone’s Pokémon Ranch (みんなのポケモン牧場), was updated Wednesday, making the WiiWare game compatible with Pokémon Platinum, which was released in Japan in September. The update allows Shaymin’s and Giratina’s new formes to appear and adds several new features to the game itself. ” -Bulbagarden

A mii with a bunch of pokemon. Never saw that before right?

Until then, keep looking for zigzagoons!

Visit Toys”R”Us (Nov 8th and 9th ONLY!)

Why should you visit Toys”R”Us? In case you haven’t seen siegetank’s earlier post , Toys”R”Us is giving out a Level 50 Dragonite from 12 pm to 4 pm. It will be given through Mystery Gift, and when you enter a pokemart, a man will give you the Dragonite. Obviously Dragonite does NOT evolve until 55, and does not learn outrage until level 64 (D/P/P). Because this particular Dragonite is level 50, it can enter level 50 tournaments. This Dragonite also proves you are a true Pokemon fan.

Today was the last day for the Secret Key event that triggered Rotom’s new forms. Pokemon Platinum makers decided to give fans another chance for them to unlock this room without using an action replay. Nintendo has announced that Secret Key will be again be able to be gotten through mystery gift from January 16th 2009 ’till March 2nd 2009. I am not sure if this event will also be taken in the USA, to people who bought Platinum by Internet.
