    Pokémon Ranger is one of the big misses in this franchise’s history. It can be entertaining for a short time, but uninteresting game mechanics and utter lack of difficulty will result in most players putting this game aside for good even before the relatively short story is completed.

    The game isn´t like the classic ones. However , it´s still pretty enjoyable and fun to play. As a PC gamer , I don´t play it at home , but it´s pretty useful when you go on holidays.
