Play Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia Online
In Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, you capture wild Pokemon with your stylus, solve puzzles, and complete missions to protect the Almia region from threats.

Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia came out for the Nintendo DS in 2008, developed by Creatures and published by Nintendo. It was part of that era where the DS was full of spin-offs and experimental titles, and this one stood out as a more action-oriented take on the Pokemon formula.
You play as a rookie Pokemon Ranger tasked with protecting the Almia region. Your main tool is the Capture Styler, which you use by drawing loops around wild Pokemon with the stylus to befriend them. Each captured Pokemon has a Field Move, like cutting down trees or clearing rocks, which helps you explore the world and progress. The game is structured around completing missions, often involving environmental puzzles or calming enraged Pokemon. It starts simple but gradually asks you to capture stronger, faster creatures that fight back more aggressively. The whole experience feels tactile and immediate, like you're really taming these creatures through skill and patience.
