Game Groups > Pokémon Ranger series

A series of spin-off games based on the Pokémon franchise. Players control 'Pokémon Rangers' who keep peace in the surrounding areas, befriending Pokémon with special devices called 'capture stylers'. Gameplay is based around battling Pokémon using the stylus by repeatedly drawing connecting loops around them. Each successive loop lowers a Pokémon's health, and when emptied, it befriends you and can be used to fight other Pokémon or clear obstacles in the overworld.
