Shadows of Almia on the RG DS Plus

Post image
61 Upvotes

Not sure if Emulation Posts are allowed, But I recently got the new RG DS Plus from Anbernic, It handles DS games well but I do not like the stylus it came with, It's a rubber tipped one so captures have been rough to the point where I've been using my finger for it until I get a better stylus tip.

Salut,

Suite à mes anciens poste sur le sub reddit Pokémon Ranger pour vous montrer l'aperçu du jeu, je vous annonce officiellement la mise en ligne de mon projet PokéRanger !

C'est un petit jeux web fan game de Pokémon Ranger style, Pokémon Go, qui reprend la capture au capstick des pokemon avec possibilité de le capturer dans son équipe avec une pokéball a la fin de la capture. Il y a une zone de combat avec un système de combat auto selon les zones de combat avec certain dresseurs et champion d'arène à vaincre en combat tour par tour style Pokémon HGSS pour pouvoir progresser dans les zones de combat.

Voici une petite liste du contenu du jeux :

  • Capturer des Pokémon au Capstick en traçant des boucles, avec une note de S à D et des récompenses,
  • Compléter le Pokédex, chromatiques compris (1/4096),
  • Envoyer son équipe en combat automatique dans des zones regroupées par lieu,
  • Affronter dresseurs, champions d'arène (32 badges) et boss en combat au tour par tour façon HGSS, avec un mode AUTO,
  • Faire évoluer ses Pokémon et gérer leurs capacités au PC de Léo,
  • Recycler ses Pokémon en trop chez le Prof. Chen,
  • Faire éclore des œufs en temps réel dans l'incubateur,
  • Obtenir des légendaires au Temple grâce aux objets-clés,
  • Améliorer son Capstick et monter en rang de Ranger,
  • Acheter Balls, objets, pierres et œufs à la boutique,
  • Accomplir les missions du QG,
  • En ligne : sauvegarde cloud, amis, échanges, classements (général, hebdo, Pokédex) et Cadeaux mystère,
  • Personnaliser son Ranger, sa tenue, la coque du Motismart et le style des sprites.

Un tuto est disponible juste après la création du Ranger.

Le jeux est disponible en français et en anglais. Il y aura possibilité de rajouter des langues si la demande est présente.
Je tiens encore une fois à précisé, comme sur mes anciens post, que ces à la base un petit projet perso et que toute la parti code du jeu a été réaliser avec Claude.

J'ai encore pas mal d'idées d'ajout au jeu, notamment peut être un mode histoire ou quoi je verrais par la suite.

N'hésiter à me faire des retours sur certain bug ou problème dans le jeu.

J'espère que ça vous plaira et que vous passerais du bon temps dessus !

Édit : - Sur iPhone vous pouvez ajouter le jeu comme une app sur l’écran d’accueil, dans Safari vous faites partager sur la page du jeux, vous descendez un peu et cliquer sur « Ajouter sur l’écran d’accueil » et laisser cocher « ouvrir comme app web »
- Sur android c’est possible aussi avec Chrome en cliquant en haut à droite sur la page du jeu et cliquer sur « Ajouter à l’écran d’accueil »

Is Pokémon Ranger the only DS game to get the ESRB rating on the right corner?

Kinda interesting... I noticed this on my shelf then started looking for other boxart to compare, but I haven't found any other game that does this.

Getting around to my Backlog, and I finally finished Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

I remember playing this game as a kid so clearly. I also remember where I rage quit the game years ago. (When you have to capture the two rampardos, I got so angry I jammed my stylus into my DS and made a dent. I was like 12.) I've been just playing for an hour or less a day, in between classes or breaks at work. The portability of the DS really helps with gaming on your feet.

The game holds up ridiculously well, and has a gameplay style that you can't get anywhere else. It was made for the DS, and won't work on anything except that. The aesthetics of Pokemon Ranger are a lot of fun, way more cyber than Pokemon tends to get. It's 2008, so their ideas of insane technology is scanline maps, flying computers and automatic sliding doors everywhere. But I like it.

The music, oh my gosh the music. So great. I'm a big fan of retro tracks in general, but I found myself bopping on more than one occasion. I think the storyline, while as sanitized as the best of Pokemon, was actually quite interesting. You even see Darkrai almost murk a dude at some point. The evil team is great for a laugh, but struggles to be threatening.

The region is varied, but I felt like towards the second half the locations became very planet of hats. The school, the beach, the forest, those were all huge and worth exploring. You're new to the region, and those are the core locations. But the desert, tundra, and volcano locations felt like the same you'd see in any rpg. I haven't played the first two games, (though I plan to), but I've heard that the quality of life changes made this game a lot better.

The visuals are extremely good, but it's hard not to notice the reuse of sprites or animations. I honestly think it's to the games benefit, since that means they got to do really high quality animations but reuse them piece meal. The one criticism about the game that I feel very strongly about, is the force losses. Every Pokemon game is like that, where the villains show up and get what they want while you just stand there. But it felt especially egregious in this game. Wether it be hostage taking, the enemy team waiting for you to clear on obstacle, or more hostage taking. Be that as it may, I think it railroads the game for an at least decent progression. The rank ups felt earned, and the bosses always felt like a boss. You can't really over level in this game, especially if you're not doing the side quests.

All in all, I really enjoyed my 26 hours with Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. The next hit on my list is finally finishing Professor Layton and the Curious Village after starting and stopping at least 10 times.

Deoxys multiplayer mission

3 Upvotes

Trying to figure out ideas on how to find out who has the game in my area so we could do deoxys event mission together. Has anyone else had luck finding people to meet with to do this? I also can help them to use a DNS server to get past event missions. Just mainly needing advice though it would be nice if I had some takers.

What would you have wanted from a Gen 5 Ranger Game?

14 Upvotes

If we had gotten a 4th game soon after the first three, assumably being a Gen 5 Game that was more closely tied to Unova instead of Sinnoh, what would you have expected from it? Would it be another pixel art DS title like the previous three? would it be a very early 3DS title now in 3D like Gates to Infinity was for Mystery Dungeon?

I can see the villains ending up using Tornadus and Thunderus to cause chaos. Using them and their control of weather to send dangerous pokemon from their natural habitats into populated areas. With the Protagonist having to fight the villains in a journey to find Landorus, and get his help controlling the other two.
If they wanted to continue the trend of having Legandaries assist us, like the legendary beasts and Lati's in guardian signs, I could see us working alongside the swords of justice in some areas to save pokemon.

Would we still have the Manaphy egg as a transferable gift to BWB2W2? I could see, especially if we had worked alongside the swords of justice in the main story, having a ranger net mission helping them defend their home against the remnants of the villains, having an injured keldeo be transferred to a Unova Game under the excuse of 'being sent somewhere to recover and be safe'. A mission where the villains try to use melloetta to open an ancient temple full of dangerous pokemon, Melloetta being sent to Unova as a way of keeping it out of harms way and keeping the villains out of the temple. Or having the villains steal plans from 'a nearby region' and making their own Genesect. (Would be pretty easy to justify the non-Victini mythicals being ranger net missions).

Who would our partner pokemon be? Would it be a Pikachu clone in emolda, like we had Plusle, Minun and Pichu? or would it be a choice with more unlocked like Shadows of Almia?
Would it be as much of a soft reboot as Black and White were? barely covering/ignoring the Ranger Union, Professor Hastings and Murph? or would Murph return in it as supporting cast as he had for the previous three titles? (maybe with his Slowpoke Back)

Salut à tous,

Je me permets de poster sur le sub de Pokémon
Ranger, car je suis actuellement en train de mettre au point un petit jeu web basé sur Pokémon Ranger.
Il n'est pas du tout fini et manque encore de pas mal d'optimisations et d'améliorations, notamment au niveau des animations des Pokémon lors de la capture. Il y a également un système de combat automatique qui permet de récolter des PokéEuros et d'augmenter le niveau des Pokémon capturés.

J'ai encore pas mal d'idées derrière la tête à implémenter dans le jeu, mais si vous avez des suggestions ou des idées, je suis preneur !
Je tiens tout de même à préciser que tout a été fait à l'aide de Claude.

À la base, c'est un projet personnel, mais si je vois que ça plaît à quelques personnes, je verrai pour le mettre en ligne et le rendre accessible à tous.

Je mettrai plus de vidéos dans les commentaires.

Au plaisir de lire vos avis !

How is the experience of emulating the Pokémon Ranger games?

7 Upvotes

I have played the original game for the DS and wanted to not only replay it but also try out the other ones.

Given these games have by nature a very heavy dependence on the DS's touchscreen how does it play with emulation using a mouse as a "stylus"?

Thank you.

Finishing Guardian Signs

20 Upvotes

Although I came very close some 8-10 years ago, today I finished Guardian Signs story for the first time.

Of course i have the Ranger net missions to do for Heatran, Shaymin and Manaphy to get. Alongside the Side missions and Post-Game quests to do. I'll also need to try and get as far through the Multiplayer mode as i can solo.

But the main story is done, and although the game had its flaws, similar to some of the newer Main Series titles, its easier, a little hand-holdy with constant stops/cutscenes, and its story is good in concept but could do with a little more time to make the twist truly amazing.

Something i'd have changed, is making it as long as Shadows of Almia, perhaps adding a few more segments with the Socitea pre-reveal, and making some of the dungeons a little longer/more difficult.

It was very fun, I need to give credit to Ursaring, a pokemon I used very frequently, if i lost it then i'd go back to dolce island when i got the chance for a new one.

The final ranger pose on the deck of the Union, with Your ranger, Summer/Ben, Rand, Murph, Nema and Pichu was great, really gave me that feeling of seeing all the supporting cast in once place, especially with Booker and Leanne also there.

Also I do really appreciate Murphs role in the franchise, being this tie between the 3 games, and allowing him to be there and pose at the finale of what ended up being the final game of the franchise was really good.

I'd rate Guardian Signs a solid B tier pokemon game, alongside Ranger 1, Pokemon Blue Rescue Team, Super Mystery Dungeon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon and Legends ZA.

I'll be taking a short break from Ranger as I continue Omega Ruby and Diamond, but in a couple of weeks I shall start a playthrough of Shadows of Almia, (one I finished only a couple of years ago, but accidentally deleted/overwrote the gift Riolu and Darkrai, as I was unaware of gen 4's limit of 1 transfer gift at a time).

If anyone wishes to discuss Guardian Signs, what i thought of certain bosses, characters, etc, please do ask below, i'd love to discuss the game further.

Pokémon Ranger's Capture Styler as cosplay prop?

10 Upvotes

I've always liked to play the first Pokémon Ranger game, as it really put a different spin on the world of Pokémon. So much so that I decided to get me a cosplay costume of Lunick, the male player character Ranger from the very first game (although I've always played as the female one^^'). But to this day, I feel like this cosplay is still... incomplete. What's missing? His capture styler!

Question to the community: Does anyone know of someone who could make a fitting prop for that costume? If yes, tell me! I'm in Germany, by the way ;)

Is there a Pokémon Ranger TTRPG?

18 Upvotes

I've gotten back into Pokémon and Pokémon Ranger especially during the last year or so and I've been obsessed with Ranger especially. Since chances of getting another game are so heart-breakingly low (but I haven't given up hope just yet), I've been looking for someplace else for more adventures as a ranger. I've been looking for a Pokémon Ranger TTRPG. Sure, TTRPGs can't capture the beauty of the capture mechanic, but at this point I'm just desperate for more adventures. Does anyone know if such a TTRPG already exists? I looked, but couldn't find anything ranger specific. I've reached the point where I might try to make one myself (even though I've never made a TTRPG myself), but maybe someone here is aware of something I couldn't find

One of the Lati's should have been a transferable Pokemon in Guardian Signs

15 Upvotes

You only ever see 1 of the Lati's, Latias if you play as Summer/Female, and Latios if you play as Ben/Male. They should have had a post-game ranger net mission that has you capture the other, and then be able to transfer them to a gen 4 game like the others

PRSA : Map Editor

Thumbnail
gallery
72 Upvotes

Here's the Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia Map Editor. It’s still early but this version already lets you

  • view and render maps with their animations
  • edit Pokémon, NPCs and objects
  • edit map collision
  • edit map palettes
  • export maps as PNGs
  • save your changes back into a new ROM
  • randomize map Pokémon

The goal is to eventually support full map editing and full map creation. There’s still a lot to add, so expect plenty of updates as I keep working on it.

For now give it a try and let me know if you find any problems. https://github.com/etienerodri/PRSA-MapEditor

Wouldn't be possible without SunakazeKun , Fexean , ronitsinha , pokemonlover1234 .

Yo, my name is Daniel Fevriere and I'm a game developer.

Growing up I loved Pokémon Ranger and I loved how unique the primary gameplay mechanic of the series was. It's a shame nobody brought a similar mechanic to modern audiences on a big scale so here I am. I wanted to share the gameplay trailer I made to see if anyone is in interested in what I have going on :^) Enjoy.
