was gonna play the sequel when apple finally let emulators onto the app store, but i decided to try the first one instead.
- the core concept is solid, but the fun just isn’t there
- partner assists that would spawn under the line (grass for example) felt useless
- tedious boss fights. charizard in particular made me put the game down
- story and characters are paper thin
there is something to this though. hoping my nostalgia for the sequel isn’t misplaced!

Pokémon spinoffs were at their peak at this time. Pokémon Ranger was a fantastic twist on the worldbuilding in the game, and it was a great use of the DS touch pad. When I think of games that only Nintendo can make, this series comes to mind.
