    The game is useful but the game is kinda pointless but fun and entertaining so this game is okay but not the best but its not bad its just flawed most of the time.

    This game deserves to be rated on what it was trying to be, not compared to Triple A titles. In the age of smartphone apps we can now appreciate this fun little Wii app as a collection tool for children. You can collect Pokemon daily, expand your farm, and collect toys that the Pokemon can interact with. It isn't the most in depth original app on the Wii, but it's a cute Generation 4This game deserves to be rated on what it was trying to be, not compared to Triple A titles.

Bonus points come from the connectivity between Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions with this app. Expand

  1. If you are playing Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and have not completed your Pokédex, then this game will help you and will probably be a lot of fun. However, if you have completed your Pokédex or do not own Diamond or Pearl, then this game is a complete waste.

    The best way to describe My Pokemon Ranch is to say that it’s just a built-in Mii Channel, but now you can watch Pokemon wander around the screen. But that’s just not any where near enough of a draw to plunk down ten bucks.

    The almost total lack of interaction makes the title difficult to recommend to many audiences, but if you need to fill out your Pokédex and enjoy watching cute creatures fart on each other, My Pokémon Ranch might be worth a look.
