Hello, people of the Internet. This is Ducky von Karma, coming to you live from the basement I am currently trapped in. Since I can think of no better thing to do while I slowly run out of oxygen, I am presenting the lot of you with my review of Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
Having played the first game and finding it acceptable, I decided to treat myself to another new game and splurged on Shadows of Almia. I heard the story is better (not a difficult feat) and that the wrist-shattering gameplay is toned down a few notches. I have to agree; the gameplay is wrist-ABUSING, but certainly lacking the devastating qualities of its predecessor.

News from PokémonRanger.com has confirmed that there will soon be another Extra Mission for American players who have beaten Pokémon Ranger – Shadows of Almia. The mission, called “For the Bride and Shaymin!,” will be available from March 1st-April 30th and will, of course, star the lovable Gratitude Pokémon, Shaymin.
Like all pokémon from Extra Missions, Shaymin won’t be transferrable to your copy of Diamond or Pearl once obtained – for now it looks like you’ll still need to head to a Toys”R”Us store for that.
Pokemon.com has announced a special downloadable Darkrai mission for Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. American and European Rangers can download it through Nintendo’s Wi-Fi service from December 1st through January 31st. The “Liberate the Tower” mission will not be playable until the end of the game is reached. Once completed, the Darkrai is transferrable to either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl.
To download the special mission, go to “Ranger Net” from the main menu and connect via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Once transferred, the Darkrai is at level 50 complete with the move “Dark Void,” which it cannot normally learn until level 66.
