Everyone’s Pokemon Ranch

February 26, 2008

Pokemon FarmA while back we reported on the upcoming Wii Ware Pokemon title Pokemon Farm/Ranch. Some new information about this title has just come out. If you read Japanese you can go directly here. If, like most of us in the Western World, you do not, then you can read on…

The release date for Japan is set for early March 2008. It will likely be one of the Wii Ware launch titles in Japan. No word on an American release date or the Wii Points cost.

So, what is Everyone’s Pokemon Ranch? It is a mixture of Pokemon Box and Pokemon Snap!

Pikachu on the Ranch

Known features

  • Store up to 1,000 of your Pokemon. You will transfer them via local wireless from your Diamond and/or Pearl games.
  • Sort Pokemon on your DS cartridge as you were able to do in Pokemon Box.
  • Interact with your Pokemon on the ranch using your Mii.
  • Take pictures of your Pokemon on the Ranch and send them to your Wii Message Board. No word on if you can email them as you can with Pokemon Snap! images.

I have a copy of Pokemon Box for the Game Cube and I have long been waiting for an update to that piece of software. Sadly, my copy of Pokemon Box is from the UK so I have to use a Free Loader disc in my Game Cube to use it. This also means I can not use my Pokemon Box on my Wii.

Right now I have extra copies of the DS Pokemon games in my home to facilitate all of the extra storage space I need for my Pokemon. I probably already have over 1,000 Pokemon on my carts but knowing I will soon be able to send them all to the farm fills me with glee.

When Pokemon Battle Revolution came out I was hoping for an RPG element or a Pokemon Box element to be added to the game. No luck, all we got was a battle environment that was not really needed. We already could battle using Wi-Fi on the DS.

Everyone’s Pokemon Ranch looks to be a great successor to Pokemon Box and I eagerly await its release.
