Pokémon Ranger, also known in Japan as Pokémon Ranger: The Road to Diamond and Pearl in some preliminary materials, is an action/role-playing video game developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc. and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS video game console. It is compatible with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, also for the Nintendo DS, allowing players to transfer the egg of the legendary Pokémon Manaphy to a Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl game. This game is set in the Fiore region. Pokémon Ranger is a role-playing game which is designed in a format radically different than that of traditional Pokémon RPGs. The player controls a Pokémon Ranger in the Fiore region. Rangers are often older than the
trainers of the conventional Pokémon role-playing games.
The player uses an object called the Capture Styler to capture Pokémon by using the stylus to circle the Pokémon a pre-determined number of times while also avoiding the Pokémon's attacks. When certain Pokémon are caught, players can use their powers, called Poké Assists, to help them. For example, if Torchic is caught, its Fire type Poké Assist can be used.
