Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Take a trip to the land of Arumia and adopt the role
of a male or female Pokemon Ranger who has just
graduated from Ranger school. At the outset of the
game, players may choose a starter Pokemon partner
from 17 available creatures including the mighty
Gonbe (Munchlax), Naetle (Turtwig), Hikozaru (Chimchar),
and Gureggru (Croagunk). For our game
this morning, we chose the male character Hajime and
eventually
coupled him with a bird Pokemon named Mukkuru aka
Starly.
As a newly inducted member of the Ranger Corps, players roam
around Arumia and go on missions for the greater
good while optional subquests may be taken on to
help citizens in need of assistance. The rival force
in Batonnage is a crew known as Team YamiYami

Game Notes
»
At
the outset of the game, a male or female ranger may
be chosen. After choosing your sex and confirming
your selection, the character shrinks from lanky
young adult to super-deformed Pokemon champion.
»
After choosing your character, Pikachu appears on
the screen and runs around while shooting off
electrical charges. Your job is to use the stylus to
draw blue circles around the beast to subdue it.
»
The next scene takes place at school where you give
a name to your character in hiragana, katakana, or
English. A short introductory sequence plays out in
the classroom but once it's over, head out to door
and up the stairs to the north or roam around the school in
general to explore.
»
The stylus may be used for movement. Simply tap on a
point on the screen and the protagonist will move in
the direction of the tap. Speaking to someone
doesn't require you to be right next to him - you
can be halfway across the room and tapping on the
NPC will initiate a conversation.
»
After
talking to everyone, head out of the school through
the door to the south on the first floor. Head on
over to the building on the left. A tutorial will
start which teaches gamers how to capture Pokemon by drawing complete circles around them.
Soon afterwards, a bunch of rodent Pokemon escape so
go outdoors and capture them all with the stylus
circle technique.
»
Once the rodents are corralled, you're free to
wander around the campus and capture different types
of Pokemon that are scampering around. Once a
creature is captured, it'll join your party and
follow you around. Up to three Pokemon may join your
party. If you capture a fourth, you'll have to
choose one to release.
»
To capture a Pokemon quickly, draw tight circles
around it rapidly and it won't have a chance to
counter with its power and break the barrier.
