This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Yes, this is yesterday's news. I consider my revision slightly more important. Only just though.

The often forgotten but totally superior to Mystery Dungeon series of Pokémon spin off games, Pokémon Ranger, is thrillingly getting a third incarnation for the DS!

Pokémon Ranger - Tracks of Light (or ãƒã‚±ãƒ¢ãƒ³ãƒ¬ãƒ³ã‚¸ãƒ£ãƒ¼ å…‰ã®è»Œè·¡ if you speak gibberish) will be released in Japan on 6th March 2010 according to the lovely people at CoroCoro.

The game will be set in the Oblivia, which sounds like a mix of Olivia and Oblivion.
The evil team are the Pokémon Nappers, led by someone called Red Eye who wants to take photos of all the Pokémon, complete with the infamous "red eye" effect you get on photos, to upload to a Facebook account photo album. (No not really)
There's a multiplayer mode, thrillingly.
You get to ride Raikou, Entei and Suicune at some point.
There is a Ranger Sign feature, where you can call Pokémon from wherever they are in the wild to come and help you. You do this by drawing their special sign.
There's a Pichu carrying a Ukulele. No, really.
You can download some sort of secret Deoxys. Which does something special. Apparently.

I think I need to go for another lie down. Permission to talk amongst yourselves.

I love Ranger so much :) And I agree that it is far better then Mystery Dungeon - but of course the whole Pokemon franchise is awesome!

ANOTHER Ranger game... damn, they're just as bad as the Mystery Dungeon games =|

They really should make better spin-offs.

@Shadowdude SHUTTUP. Pikachu has EVERYTHING possible. I'm sure there's even a pikachu toilet roll somewhere....

You can never have enough special Pichu! SPREAD THE PICHU LOVE

I have to disagree with the comment about PMD and Ranger. I personllay think that PMD is better. Only a bit, though, cuz they are both really great games.

That aside, I'm pretty excited about this one. Looks awesome, with all the new details of ranger signs, time travel, Ukulele Pichu and its special assist, riding the dogs... It's gonna be hit in the Ranger series =]
