PKMN Ranger announced

[Virtual Headache]

Well, I searched a little and I think this hasn't been posted yet...

Coro Coro has announced a new project called Pokémon Ranger.
It's not confirmed yet, whether this will be a game or something different.
Some Japanese believe it's a Game, which has some elements of the Animé in it.

According to SPP, there will also be a new movie and a new season of the Animé released at the same time PKMN Ranger will be released.

What do you think?

[eX.A.K.R.]

A new movie at the same time as Pokémon Ranger? If it's not wrong, then it could possibly be that 1. the game is nearing completion, as there is a new Pokémon movie (a.k.a. Mew and The Wave-Guiding Hero - Rukario), or 2. that there's more Pokémon movies to come, and this will be released only next year.

If it's a game... That's kind of weird... A strange name for a Pokemon game... I'd say it's a colosseum-type game, but... It's called 'Ranger'... Could it be a solid Rpg, like the rpg that was with colosseum? That wouldn't make a very stiff game... I think it makes a lot more sense for it to be an anime, but SPP said that there is an anime coming out at the same time, right? Ranger is defined as,

A member of an armed troop employed in patrolling a specific region.

Maybe it's an RPG where you're a... a... A guard? I don't know, I'm not liking the ideas so far, LOL, what do the rest of you guys think?

i've just heard from serebii.net that pokemon ranger is the 9th pokemon movie and will be out in japan in 2006

[deoxys2000]

i didnt know that, serebii is a cool site, though, go there everyday.

[Thomas-san]

That sounds good. *wishes for a working DS emulator before all the DS Pokemon Games come out* xD

[Atomic]

if it follows the anime then it may have the anime only cities

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

i wonder who will star in it i hope its like pkmn chronicals that was just ace!

[Fury of Ninetales]

i guess i might be wrong about what i said earlier because SPP just said today that ranger will be a DS action/rpg game.

[Virtual Headache]

I think it's right.
I hope they won't have the animé characters in there.
They should still keep the games and the animé separated.

Seems like Filb.de has a new scan.
It says that Pokemon Rangers are different from Pokemon Trainers, since Rangers use Pokemons to protect nature, rather than Trainers who use Pokemon to fight. It also says that Ranger will have connection with next years movie and anime.

Needless to say, the scan says that Ranger is an Action RPG.

[Filb]

Ah, the scan appeared on some anonymous image board, I think. I couldn't find the original source. But I got them from:

Maybe someone at Bulbagarden uploaded them there. I don't know really.

The game doesn't look all that great, but it could turn out to be really good. However, I don't think the game will be released in the US. It sounds like one of those games that will only be released in Japan.

[Filb]

Uh huh? Remember how "Pokémon Puzzle League" for Nintendo 64 came out in America but never came out in Japan?

umm i read on a forum that itll be released in english b4 diamond and pearl if i can find da forum ill paste the url (no im not lying i am drop dead seriose!)

haha i was right to prove it heres da link! http://pokevillage.net/emeraldsky.php

It will be released in Japan before DP, so I think it's normal for it to be released in English before the English DP comes out... I think there's nothing to be alarmed for.

Apparently in the game, you are supposed to guard a place from evil trainers....oooh scary. I'm hoping the game will be somewhat Animal Crossing-type. Where you get to take care of Pokémon and train them up. Possibly be a breeder. However, I doubt very seriously that would happen.
