    I love this game. It's low maintenance and not really a game you play with an enthusiasm. However, I like the idea of growing a 'ranch' and seeing the Mii version of my family and myself relaxing with super cute pokemons in the middle of nowhere - so peaceful! A little bit like Big Brother and you keep going back to see them in the screen again and again. But unlike BB,I love this game.

    THIS IS NOT A GAME. IT IS ALSO NOT A SCREENSAVER.

    It's a freaking storage box for your freaking pokemon. The gamecube version (called, more appropriately, Pokemon Box) just looked like your PC storage interface in the main Pokemon games. It's there just to let you store pokemon, and it does an awesome job at that.

    This game was fun and easy to play with my sister everyday. I've always had the dream of becoming a pokemon breeder and this allowed me to get close to realizing my dream. I loved interacting with my pokemon on the ds and trying to collect them all. So fun!

    I think that a lot of people would or have felt quite a disappointment with this game, as people probably except more gameplay from something labeled with "Pokémon". However, there is no possibility to download this game without a ROM these days, which is unfortunate for the people that never at least got to experience the game one time.

    While this game is mostly just a game where you watch the pokémon make simple interactions with Miis, toys and other pokémon, it still is very pleasing to just watch for a little while every day! Seeing pokémon in these polygonic shapes give them a very different charm, and I think Ambrella's contribution is very under appreciated.

    The game doesn't really have any story other than you expanding the farm with more pokémon. But in general the music, "gameplay" and graphics have a very simple yet clean style. And also a very nice game to go into every day if you want Hayley to bring a new pokémon to the farm!    … Expand

    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.
