My Pokémon RanchWiiWare

this looks good but i will only download it if it's 800 points or less, also i hope it will give you unlockables for diamond or pearl the longer you play:)

I will pay anything to get this!

@ZIMlord
then you are a fool. this is nothing more than storage-literally, and it takes away storage (from your wii) AVOID.

still I want it, there is not much to spend
on, thought

i'll definatley get this game if u can take your pokemon back if u transfer them 2 the ranch, if not, then i probably won't get it

...Its never gonna come, is it??

Methinks you speaketh too soon.

Heh. Yeah really.

(Thinks of Hell march, from C&C, when he saws that image of the rows upon rows of Pikachu) @_@

I for one, not necessarily being a Pokémon fan, would think it fun to have a Pokémon for my Mii.

won't be getting this. i don't care for Pokemon.

@Stinssd
Despite my harsh comments toward thi sgame, so would I. A REAL Pokemon RPG, that is.

One question: would I be able to add Pokemon to the ranch if I don't own any other Pokemon games for DS, Wii, or GC? If not, then this is just more junk for little kids to interface with their Poke-games. Not a franchise I'd want to seriously invest in, although I did by Pokemon Snap, mostly out of curiosity, tsk, tsk...

I don't regret purchasing it, but I got stuck in the cave level and can't find the secret exit.

I only have 48 blocks left on my Wii memory after having downloaded Toki Tori last week. For a 2D puzzler/platformer with 70 or so levels (they all are made up of simple blocks) that game is one prime piece of real estate on my system, and I'm not in the mood right now for running the old "SD swap" routine, so what games I have on the menu will probably just sit comfortably for a while.

While I don't like the graphics either, I think there's a few reasons for them to look like that:
1. It makes the Pokemon fit better with the Miis, so it could be a style choice.
2. The limited size of the Wiiware format, combined with the endless numbers of different Pokemon might necessitate simpler designs.
3. The huge (and frightening) hoards of moving Pokemon that you can have on screen at once could possibly eat up resources.

Not that I'll be buying this game.

Whats the point of this game? It just seems like a game where you can store all of your pokemon in a 3D enviorment. Sounds pointless.

I take back what I said about Critter Round-up, THIS is the most pointless game on Wiiware, or any platform for that matter. And they expect people to pay $10 for it...which people will, which is what makes this so outrageous! Words cannot express how much this game is a NO.

Well, if you store enough Pokemon, then you can get a Mew. Probably the #1 reason to get this game, legitimate Rare Pokemon

This is actually a somewhat decent game. I donloaded it as soon as I came home from school last week monday. I think the models of the pokemon look fine due to the limits of WiiWare (you think they could've fit 999 pokemon nice looking 3-D pokemon? Come on).

It has encouraged me to play Diamond again since It hasn't been touched for almost a year. If anything, they could've let be able t trade more pokemon with her, because the ones she gives basicaly suck . I would give it a solid 6/10.

If you ask me, a cheat machine is all you need to get Mew. They're more expensive than Pokemon Ranch, but at least they're less time consuming, and you can get other good pokemon like Deoxys. Too bad I'm done with pokemon, my brother sometimes hastles me to finish Pearl so we could finally make good use out of that Action Replay I got.

Or...Ninty could just put Mew in legit in one of the games but make it hella hard...but no, they have to make you pay $10 or more to sludge through this...

@Big=Sexy. Hey, thanks. I do sometimes go back and read over stuff again. I knew that the pictures on the cave walls are clues, and I saw the magnemite in the photo. I tried throwing tons of apples at the magnemites, but to no avail. That was a long while ago. I just deleted Snap earlier this evening (and several other seldom played VC games) to make room on my Wii system to download SPOGS. Now that you have told me this, I will find something else to delete off my Wii and recopy Snap from the SD card. The beauty of SNAP is that none of it's features require you to own or interface with any other Pokemon games and it has nothing to do with the rest of the series. As for Pokemon Farm, I decided to pass it up. It doesn't really deserve the #1 slot anyway.

I really do appreciate your thoughtfulness to reply. You seem a nice person

Why Nintendo Power said that this is, "Recomended!" is beyond me. My guess is that they just loOOove terrible Pokémon cash-ins/Nintendo published games/games that just don't give a darn about making the Pokémon look like the Pokémon themselves instead of wierd, somewhat disturbing jumbles of polygons that were lazily thrown together by a two-year old who was given a very vague description of what the Pokémon look like and was then set to work on creating the rather sloppy models within two minutes.

^ I couldn't have said it better myself! I'm so sick of having this "game" stare back at me from the "Recommended" bunch every time I access the Wii Shop Channel's main page - where it has TOP BILLING! Geez, Nintendo, you really hurt my feelings when you underestimate my intelligence like that.

I've been a Pokemon fan pretty much since the start, and I'm not gonna part with $10 to watch sub-first-generation-PS1-quality blobs that were probably each completely rendered in less than 10 seconds cavort around some empty field. OH LOOK!!!!! THE PASTED-TOGETHER DEFLATED SOCCER BALLS WITH STICK-ON ARMS AND EARS PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE PIKACHUS JUST STUMBLED AND FELL AFTER I STACKED THEM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SO KAWAII! LOOK AT ME, I'M A WHITE FEMALE BORN IN 1998 AND I'M SO AIRHEADED THAT I'D STICK MY HEAD IN A WOODCHIPPER IF PIKACHU TOLD ME TO IN A DREAM! TEE-HEE! I'LL GIVE MY MOM'S MONEY TO NINTENDO SO THAT MORE POORLY-MADE, BARE-BONES PILES OF FESTERING DOG SNOT LIKE THIS "GAME" GET RELEASED! I AM YOUR SELF-APPOINTED SLAVE, NINTENDO!

Just so you know, I'm actually an 18-year-old male.

^ LOL... Nintendo should have called it : Our New Pokémon Cash-In™ but i guess that would've been too obvious...

this is thr first pokemon game u can interac with them but hayley looks kinda strange looks like an awesome game

i want this game so bad i need to have my hook up to my comp first

I actully Kinda like this game

dide hard pokemon fans need this game because you can get mew from it.
also a question. dos the game come whith pokemon in it?
im gonna get a wii soon but i dont have a DS( and i dont want one)
but i kinda whant this game

I need this game since I'm a pokemon game collector, but I just don't like the way those pokemon looklike, they really give me the creeps, hence I'm delaying this download as much as possible, still getting mew it's a nice thing.

@Big=Sexy
You're totally right about PSnap PPuzzleLeague, I own them both, and two times each (cartridge and VC, didn't lie on the collector thing) and they are some of the best Pokemon games ever, far far far above MPR, truely recommended.

Just in case you all didn't know, you can save photos from My Pokemon Ranch on a SD card & upload them onto Facebook or some other place/site.

I spent the first few weeks checking this game every day for new Pokemon, but it lost its charm waaaaay too soon to be a good game. Avoid alert!!!
600 points would have been more like it (but of course it wouldn't go that low)

I don't care what anyone says, this game's awesome!

Well, the reason like this game is
1. It's very relaxing
2. I needed a place for my 150 Psyduck

i really wanna get this game but alot of people thinks its lame and some people thinks its great! i have diamond and pearl. and i have alot ot pokemon i would like to see on pokemon ranch. but i was wondering... when you put a pokemon on the ranch....can you bring it back to the normal game it came from?? because if you cant. i dont think i will get it. but if you can...i am going to,... please reply. >.<

^yes, you can take them out of the ranch if you want

Help my pokemon game was freezing so I placed all my pokemon into the pokemon ranch then restarted my game over, and now they are stuck in there how do I get them back?

@whotlru
you dont it warns if you restart your game your pokemon are stuck forever.

first off people, this isnt actually a game.. it's just a storage like the one in gamecube..

i dont know if i would have this on my wii cause im not sure with something...

is it like battle revolution where the pokemon on your D/P game just gets copied or is it that the pokemon actually move from D/P to the ranch(like migrating fron gba pokemon games to D/P) and will never be returned on your game??

I was thinking about buying the game and checking it out. To me it looks good. And you can get a good pokemon everyday and trade, which can really help me out on Pokemon Pearl. My dad said big deal $10. I am looking forward to playing this game it looks fun but I still have my doubts. All the other pokemon games have batteling or a point to the game, but Pokemon Ranch doesnt seem to have a point just that pokemon can interact with mii characters. And the pokemon can do entertaining things. But still I am a pokemon fan and this game is a must, I have all the pokemon games.

I've been playing Pokemon Ranch 4 a while and so far, I have 109 Pokemon there...a lot!!! lol!!!

whotlru, u CANNOT restart ur game!!! They sed that if u can only withdraw pokemon FROM THE SAME ACCOUNT U SENT THEM TO DA RANCH ON!!!!!!

lol....u idiot....

Can i transfer my pokemon BACK to the NDS game if i transfer them to The Ranch.Cause i want Mew on My Platnium Game i got when it first came out.and i can get it diamond(or pearl)and then transfer to platium.Please Help me!!!

You can, but you can only send the pokemon back to the cartridge they came from.

Thank you Cause i want Mew SO BADLY.and i didnt want to download the game if I couldnt get them back onto the game

well, ehem...its only good if u hav a ds and a good pokedex that u dont know what to do with...just send them all to ur wii, have fun and trade in the ds game!!!

I think I'll try to get the Platinum compatable version when it releases,
take my Pokemon off of Pearl and then trade it in. Heheh...

i think my pokemon ranch is good but it can get boring at times

Created an account here just for this topic... nothing else to do i guess.
Ive not bought this game yet but i think i will, im not a hardcore pokéfreak but i did enjoy playing it on GB and GBA, i think the main reason for releasing this game is to sell more DS games, since i dont have a DS version and i do want this game.. the reason i want this game is because when youre tired and don't want to do play intense games you can always lay back and see whats happining on the ranch... i may get bored easily, as most of you say. but i'll take my chances, i think it would be nice for people who don't like to do intense gaming when they're tired... i do play smash bros and DBZBT3 though, its not like im always tired... guess ill just say bye.

I'd like to try this game for myself after hearing all comments, but all it sounds like is like the pc on pokmeon pearl but with cute tricks and gainable pokemon. The Game would be cool if you could battle them against eachother but oh well... 10$ to gain mew and a few other pokes? I'm trying this once I get a wii.

Excuse Me. But How Many Wii Points Do You Need To Pay For Pokemon Ranch?

In case that really was a serious question after all: 1000 points, as it says way up on this very page.

how do u play this gmae anyways???

What's the point of the game? I have seen YouTube videos of it and all i have seen is Mii's walking around and sitting next to pokemon. That sounds like a lode of fun NOT.

$10 is whorth the mew (u have 2 get 2 level 25 on your farm) and when level 15 u can get phione u can get both in trade.2 get mew u have 2 trade a egg for mew and trade a leafion 4 phione there level 50

any whon here

I got phione thats cool. phiones awesome.All I need is mew and im having a tough time. MEW IS THE BEST OF ALL POKEMON!

how can i download this?sorry,i have just registered

how can i get points?

@Gregory: My Pokemon Ranch is a WiiWare title. To purchase it for your Wii, you'll need to add points to the Wii Shop via points card (purchased from your local gaming store or over the internet) or by using a credit card through the Wii Shop itself.

I still can't forgive PUUSA for never adding support for platinum... I only had 900 from DP.
