'''My Pokémon Ranch''' (Japanese: '''みんなのポケモン{{tt|牧場|ぼくじょう}}''' ''Everyone's Pokémon Ranch'') is a WiiWare title that was announced at Nintendo's fall 2007 conference. It is not considered a game, but rather an accessory for owners of Pokémon {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It was developed by [[Ambrella]] and could be purchased for 1,000 Wii Points. {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can be transferred from Diamond and Pearl and stored on a farm. The {{player}} can use up to 8 Diamond and Pearl games to send their Pokémon, which then can be organized in the ranch by factors like height and weight. Players can sort, take pictures, and interact with up to 1,000 of their Pokémon.

The farm is owned by [[Hayley]], a friend of [[Bebe]]'s. Hayley will give the player information on the Pokémon, which will be different from the info in the games. She will also bring a Pokémon each day to the ranch, for which the player can [[trade]]. She will ask what type of Pokémon she will bring to the ranch next.
The farm is owned by [[Hayley]], a friend of [[Bebe]]'s. Hayley will give the player information on the Pokémon, which will be different from the info in the games. She will also bring a Pokémon each day to the ranch. On days where the Ranch has expanded due to reaching the next level, she will bring an additional Pokémon of the same species. If the Ranch goes up multiple levels in one day, she will bring an additional Pokémon for each level met. At certain milestones she will bring additional Pokémon for which the player can [[trade]]. When the player quits to the Wii Menu for the first time each day, she will ask what type of Pokémon she will bring to the ranch next.


The title is essentially a [[Generation IV]] version of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire|Pokémon Box]]. However, it is notable that Pokémon Ranch is similar to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] in that it will only interact with specific save files. This means that if a Pokémon is placed on the ranch, only the game from which it was placed onto the ranch may take the Pokémon back off it. This prevents people storing Pokémon and starting a new game - something for which previous storage titles were quite useful.

===Ranch Levels===
===Ranch Levels===
The Ranch will increase in level when it reaches a certain amount of Pokémon. Both the Pokémon Hayley brings each day and the Pokémon deposited to the Ranch through the [[Generation IV]] games contribute towards levelling up. When the Ranch has reached enough Pokémon to level up, quitting the game will have Hayley announce that the Ranch is ready to level up, and the following day the Ranch will increase in level. As the Ranch increases in level, more abilities and features will be unlocked as well. For example, upon the Ranch reaching Level 20, Hayley will say that a separate barn has been made for her Pokémon, which simply means that they will no longer count towards the maximum number of Pokémon, but will still count towards levelling. If enough Pokémon are deposited such that multiple level requirements are reached, the highest possible level will be reached the day after.

My Pokémon Ranch (Japanese: みんなのポケモン牧場 Everyone's Pokémon Ranch) is a WiiWare title that was announced on October 10, 2007, at Nintendo's fall conference.[4] It is not considered a game, but rather an accessory for owners of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It was developed by Ambrella and could be purchased for 1,000 Wii Points. Pokémon can be transferred from Diamond and Pearl and stored on a farm. The player can use up to 8 Diamond and Pearl games to send their Pokémon, which then can be organized in the ranch by factors like height and weight. Players can sort, take pictures, and interact with up to 1,000 of their Pokémon.

The farm is owned by Hayley, a friend of Bebe's. Hayley will give the player information on the Pokémon, which will be different from the info in the games. She will also bring a Pokémon each day to the ranch. On days where the Ranch has expanded due to reaching the next level, she will bring an additional Pokémon of the same species. If the Ranch goes up multiple levels in one day, she will bring an additional Pokémon for each level met. At certain milestones she will bring additional Pokémon for which the player can trade. When the player quits to the Wii Menu for the first time each day, she will ask what type of Pokémon she will bring to the ranch next.

The title is essentially a Generation IV version of Pokémon Box. However, it is notable that Pokémon Ranch is similar to Pokémon Battle Revolution in that it will only interact with specific save files. This means that if a Pokémon is placed on the ranch, only the game from which it was placed onto the ranch may take the Pokémon back off it. This prevents people storing Pokémon and starting a new game - something for which previous storage titles were quite useful.

On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to Pokémon Platinum in Japan. The update was never released internationally. My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update, and is completely incompatible with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

This title is no longer purchasable, as of the Wii Shop Channel's shutdown on January 31, 2019.

Blurb

The Pokémon phenomenon debuts on WiiWare with My Pokémon Ranch, a game that lets you watch as Pokémon and Miis interact with each other for the first time. Enjoy the relaxing Ranch life by viewing your Ranch and its Pokémon, taking pictures, and sending those pictures to your friends via the Wii Message Board. The more Pokémon and Miis that you bring to your Ranch, the more fun it becomes!

My Pokémon Ranch can be linked with the Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond version and Pokémon Pearl version Game Cards to deposit the Pokémon you've caught in these games to your Ranch! You can deposit a maximum of 1,000 Pokémon from up to eight different Game Cards! Make your Ranch more lively by playing with your friends and family!

Features

Initial features

Hayley with a player's Pokémon
  • My Pokémon Ranch is able to connect, store and withdraw Pokémon from eight different Diamond or Pearl game cards using the Nintendo DS's connectivity. It is able to store up to 1,000 Pokémon at a time; however, the number rises to 1,500 after the Platinum update is applied.
  • Pokémon and Miis can interact in full 3D on the Wii. A Pokémon's behavior in the ranch can be determined by the Pokémon's Nature, moves, etc.
  • The player is able to take pictures at any time when on the ranch and save them to the message board or a SD card. Taking pictures of objects can be made easier by applying a Focus Lock or spinning the screen around using the Nunchuk.
  • Using WiiConnect24, the player can send pictures they have taken on the ranch to other friends.
  • On occasions, the player and Hayley can trade Pokémon on the ranch. Her traded Pokémon can be withdrawn onto the player's Diamond or Pearl game card.
  • A Pokémon's Shiny coloring, alternate forms, and gender differences are visible in the game.
  • If a Pokémon came from a special place or was met in a fateful encounter it will sparkle with blue and green sparkles. If a a Pokémon is level 100, they will sparkle in orange and yellow sparkles. If both are applicable to the said Pokémon, then there will be sparkles of both colors. The Phione and Mew brought by Hayley will sparkle in pink and silver sparkles, but only when they are first brought to the Ranch and when their summaries are shown during a trade.

Platinum update

A screenshot taken after installing the Platinum update. Note the Giratina Origin Forme

On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to Pokémon Platinum. This update was never released outside of Japan, and My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update.

In this update, the following features were added:

  • The ranch can now rise to level 26, which, allowing storage of an extra 500 Pokémon, brings the total to 1500.
  • Giratina Origin Forme will appear if it is holding a Griseous Orb when deposited.
  • Shaymin Sky Forme can be added by touching the toy Gracidea, which, like all toys, can appear every once in a while.
  • New Rotom forms can be added by depositing them when they are in that appliance. This will make the appliance unusable in that save file until the Rotom is withdrawn, at which point Rotom will return to its normal form and the appliance will reappear in Rotom's Room.
  • New toys and Club Look See members. Eleven new toys were added and the club members changed from 37 to 40.
  • Revisit Club Look See ranches.
  • A menu is added that allows changing of the song.
  • More filters are available to select the Pokémon that can be seen in the ranch, such as type, color, original trainer or marking.
  • The Wanted Pokémon menu now has an option to select in which game does the wanted Pokémon is searched to know its location.
  • Twelve new animations can be played. Some new animations consist of battles between rivals, such as Zangoose and Seviper or Dialga and Palkia.
  • Photos can be added to or from the SD card in bulk, instead of one at a time. Album size is increased from 20 to 30.

Ranch Levels

The Ranch will increase in level when it reaches a certain amount of Pokémon. Both the Pokémon Hayley brings each day and the Pokémon deposited to the Ranch through the Generation IV games contribute towards levelling up. When the Ranch has reached enough Pokémon to level up, quitting the game will have Hayley announce that the Ranch is ready to level up, and the following day the Ranch will increase in level. As the Ranch increases in level, more abilities and features will be unlocked as well. For example, upon the Ranch reaching Level 20, Hayley will say that a separate barn has been made for her Pokémon, which simply means that they will no longer count towards the maximum number of Pokémon, but will still count towards levelling. If enough Pokémon are deposited such that multiple level requirements are reached, the highest possible level will be reached the day after.

Wanted Pokémon

Details on how to catch a Wanted Pokémon

Once a player has stored Pokémon from their Generation IV Pokémon game for the first time, Hayley will take the player's Pokédex data and request "Wanted Pokémon" from it, Pokémon that are typically not yet in the player's Pokédex. Once the player's Pokédex is filled, not counting event-only Pokémon, she'll compliment the player on their Pokédex and start requesting ones that the player has already caught. The game will provide the player with all the information on acquiring the listed Pokémon, including information on a Pokémon's pre-evolved form, and if an item is needed to evolve it, where that item can be found. This can be used to both assist and motivate said player into completing their Pokédex.

The player is given 10 days to acquire this Pokémon until the post is removed and a new one is made.

"Wanted Pokémon" requests are not tied to specific game carts. If one player deposits a Pokémon that Hayley requested from another player, it will be taken off the Wanted list and she will ask the player to show the other player how to find Pokémon. If all of the Wanted posts expire, Hayley will ask the player to connect their Nintendo DS so new ones can be made.

Hayley's trades

Main article: Hayley's trades

Whenever the player brings in one of the "Wanted Pokémon", Hayley will offer to trade one of her Pokémon for it, and the Pokémon received will be one of the following twenty and will know a TM, Egg move, or have something else that makes them unique. The Pokémon available for trade are limited to ones that Hayley has already brought to the ranch. She will occasionally bring a tradeable when the player chooses "No" for both answers when Hayley asks what kind of Pokémon she should bring to the ranch the next day. Hayley can only ever trade one of each trade-eligible species of Pokémon she brings, even if she brings more of that species on another day or brings multiple as part of the Ranch levelling up.

All of these Pokémon will have the OT Hayley (English) or ユカリ (Japanese) and the Trainer ID number 01000. Note that all of the Pokémon with specific Natures cannot have a different Nature, gender, or Ability, and they cannot be Shiny.

Special Pokémon

These two Pokémon are only available once certain requirements are fulfilled. Once 250 Pokémon are present on the ranch, the ranch will expand and jump to a new level. When this level is obtained, Hayley will add a new Pokémon to the "Wanted" board, Leafeon. When Leafeon is brought to the ranch, she will offer to trade it for her Phione. When 999 Pokémon are present, the ranch will expand and jump to level 25, the maximum level outside of the Platinum update. Once this level is obtained, a new wanted Pokémon will be added. Hayley is now asking for any Pokémon Egg. When the egg is brought, she will offer to trade it for her Mew.

Events

A typical totem pole

Regular events happen around the ranch at all times; Miis may interact with Pokémon by dancing with them or running away from them, mend fences, or sit down and observe Pokémon. Pokémon occasionally use attacks on each other (though causing no adverse effect), greet each other, or run away from Pokémon with type advantages against them. Attacks are not specialized, but are general type attacks; for example, there is no Fire Blast or Thunder Fang, only generic, type-specific attacks such as Electric Pokémon electrocuting others or Fire-type Pokémon breathing fire.

Every 15 minutes, a random event in the ranch will occur. These events don't have any real significance and are only intended for a good picture opportunity. Some events only occur after the player has a certain amount of Pokémon or certain kind of Pokémon in the ranch.

Club Look-See

Main article: Club Look-See
Penny, a member of Club Look-See, whose ranch has an egg theme.

Club Look-See is a group of people that will come to the Ranch and invite the player to see their Ranch. Each member is assigned a number (#1, #2, #3, and so on) and they will appear in order of their number on a random day when the user "logs in".

Each member's Ranch has a certain theme, which means that their Ranch is filled with certain types of Pokémon. Each member's Mii also typically bears some resemblance to the Pokémon they have.

After all 37 (40 in Platinum) members have been met for the first time, they will re-appear in the future, but not in order. Members the player has met can be revisited at any time (selected from a menu) in the Platinum update.

Reception

My Pokémon Ranch received generally negative reviews. The largest criticisms of the game was the lack of interaction with the game,[6] and the fact that the player has to own a copy of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the majority of the game's features to be accessible.[7] In addition, some reviewers criticized the game's Mii-like graphics, with IGN calling it "the ugliest Pokémon game to hit any video game system".[8] The game received an average score of 47% on Metacritic.

Trivia

  • Some Pokémon have certain characteristics exclusive to the species: for example, Mankey is often angry, and Weezing will occasionally emit a yellow, stinky gas that scares away other Pokémon (similar to the toy Stinky ball).
  • The fastest possible timeframe in which players can reach the maximum level both with and without the Platinum patch is 7 days - Starting from Day 1, 20 Pokémon must be deposited to reach Level 5 on Day 2, which can then be elevated to 50 to reach Level 8 on Day 3, increased to 100 to reach Level 11 on Day 4, increased again to 250 to reach Level 15 on Day 5, increased once again to 500 to reach Level 20 on Day 6, and finally increased to 1000 to reach the maximum level by Day 7.
