At the beginning of the game, the player is presented with a quiz that decides which Pokémon he or she will play as, and then the partner is chosen (see below). The player and partner are the only playable Pokémon until the first mission is completed and a [[Friend Area]] is purchased. After the player has completed the main story, what Pokémon may be used as the main character is now an option, and the partner is not required for subsequent missions. If the partner Pokémon was knocked out during missions prior to finishing the main storyline, it counts as a failure of the mission.

Partner Pokémon in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

A Partner Pokémon (Japanese: パートナーのポケモン or パートナーポケモン Partner Pokémon) is a Pokémon who accompanies the player on their adventure. Partner Pokémon play major roles in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and the Pokémon Ranger series.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the player's partner is chosen after the player Pokémon is determined. The partner Pokémon cannot be of the same species or type as the player.

Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team

At the beginning of the game, the player is presented with a quiz that decides which Pokémon he or she will play as, and then the partner is chosen (see below). The player and partner are the only playable Pokémon until the first mission is completed and a Friend Area is purchased. After the player has completed the main story, what Pokémon may be used as the main character is now an option, and the partner is not required for subsequent missions. If the partner Pokémon was knocked out during missions prior to finishing the main storyline, it counts as a failure of the mission.

In the Pokémon Ranger series

Partner Pokémon are the only Pokémon allowed to always accompany a Pokémon Ranger and do not leave after using a Poké Assist like other Pokémon. Combined, there are more than 20 Partner Pokémon in the three Pokémon Ranger games.

Pokémon Ranger

There are only two Partner Pokémon in this game; they are Plusle and Minun. The one which the player gets depends on their chosen gender, with males receiving Minun and females receiving Plusle.

Ranger: Shadows of Almia

The number of possible Partner Pokémon was greatly increased, now up to 17, one for each type, so the player would have access to a Partner Pokémon with every type of Poké Assist. The player encounters their first at Nabiki Beach, either Pachirisu, Starly or Munchlax. The two not chosen are obtainable later on in the game. Also, throughout the game, the player can obtain different Partner Pokémon by completing certain quests involving the Pokémon. However, Kricketot, Croagunk and Mime Jr. are obtained during the main storyline. The player is only allowed to take one partner at a time. The rest remain at Partner Farm.

Ranger: Guardian Signs

In the main storyline, players get to befriend a ukulele-playing Pichu on Dolce Island. The Assist of Ukulele Pichu gets several upgrades as players progress through the game. When playing in the past, due to the fact that the Ukulele Pichu stays in the present, players may choose as their partner any Pokémon whose heart slate they have obtained from a temple. When first arriving in the past, players have a Piplup as their partner.
