I remember owning this game when I was a kid, but I never recalled finishing it. So I decided to pop it in for the first time in a REALLY long time. It's fun....for the most part. I'll admit it's genuinely fun for a good chunk of the time, I do enjoy how the game looks at the time, they utilize the DS screen a lot while also giving the player the options to use the control stick and buttons, you have to use a lot of strategy to figure out how to capture certain Pokemon and get through the levels. However the thing that drags the game is easily how bullshit how hard some of the Pokemon are to catch. There were several times where the Pokemon are too fast, move way too much, and there's more than one Pokemon getting in your way. Sometimes it's understandable how difficult some Pokemon are to capture, like say at the end of the level, but for the most part there are just some Pokemon that are irritating to deal with. The thing that drives me up the wall is how often some, not all, of the Pokemon that will get to the edges of the DS screen making it literally impossible to capture them. That happened way too often. But for the most part it's still a alright game. I wouldn't say it's anywhere close to some of the best Pokemon games, but it's still fun. I hear there are more Pokemon Ranger games that were released that I was not aware of, but I hope they got better and fixed some of these issues.
