I remember having a lot of fun with the first two, though I never got around to the third one. It's been five years since Guardian Signs so it looks like this is finished but..... does anyone know why? I loved playing these and Mystery Dungeon with them being the only spinoff's that I actually liked.

I presume it was likely one of the above reasons mentioned, the series likely didn't sell very well and as a result they likely decided to cancel the Ranger series altogether because as we know, if something doesn't meet sale expectations don't expect another instalment.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

Pokémon Ranger Guardian Signs was a great game (and the only ranger game I played) I loved it but the Symbols were so complicated at first I loved it I used the signs all the time but then it got super hard I was annoyed I spent 34 tries on Ho-oh that's the only one I counted but besides it was too easy I was basically Immortal I only died 5 times through the whole game and that was at the beginning and at Raikou the first sign you get overall so yeah that was the games downfall I presume (Mostly the signs).

It was great having such a selection of side games when the Ranger & Mystery Dungeon games were coming out regularly, with the return of the MD series maybe they will pick up Ranger again too. I beleive the last game in the series had bad sales though. :/
