Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia screenshots and information: Oi, pay attention! photo

Yes, I know it's not as exciting as The Conduit (first "party," haha Cammie) or the new Mario & Luigi (yay!), but some of us weren't around to get the good stuff so we're left with the rest of it.

Here we are then. Just me and Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, taking place in a brand new region called -- you guessed it -- Almia. How many bloody Regions has this game got, anyway? Anyway, you're a Pokémon Ranger who goes around helping people and nature -- the kind of thing a tosser does. Not doing cool stuff, like punching Squirtles in the face. 

You will be able to partner up with different Pokémon and catch them using the Styl ... sorry, the "Capture Styler" to draw circles around them. It will be the first game in the Ranger series to feature Pokémon from Diamond and Pearl.

Why am I even writing this? How many of you are even reading it? Fine ... just go and read about Club Nintendo again.

Why is a good question. Are they done milking this universe yet? Nope? Better release another game, quick!

They should really find a new way of milking Pokémon. Seriously.

I read the title as "Power Ranger: Shadows of Almia"

I came.

Then I cried.

I really want to see a picture of Jim punching a Squirtle in the face, and maybe also one of kicking a Pikachu in the nuts.

Yay?

What the hell this pokemans thing is turning into something like WoW multiple expansion packs, making new stuff up all the time, and really disgusting freakish characters. And the pokemans are pretty weird too.

Hey, screw you. Pokemon Ranger was awesome and got hard by the end of it.

One of the few games I'm waiting to play.

Am I the only one that likes Pokémon. I mean, they haven't changed that much, but they're trying to release fresh Poké-ideas... I liked Mistery Dungeon games and I play Ranger a few hours, I don't think it's a bad game.

Don't worry Jim, I'll share my love to both ORIGINAL Club Nintendo (here in México there is already a Club Nintendo magazine, but it sucks since 5 years ago) and DTOID.
