{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンピンボールルビー&サファイア''' ''Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire'') is a spin-off [[pinball]] game for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It expands upon the game mechanics used in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and features the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]].

It was originally released in Japan on August 1, 2003, in North America on August 25, 2003, in Australia on September 26, 2003, and in Europe on November 14, 2003. It was later released on [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] in Japan on December 10, 2014, in Europe on December 11, 2014, in Australia on December 12, 2014, and in North America on January 1, 2015, making it the first Pokémon game to be released for the Wii U Virtual Console.

The game is played with a {{i|Poké Ball}} in the traditional pinball format. There are two tables, the [[Ruby Field]] and [[Sapphire Field]], each varying in gameplay and Pokémon available for capture.

If this game is played on the [[Game Boy Player]] accessory, the {{player}} can use the rumble feature in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]'s controller.

==Blurb==
More than a regular pinball game, Pokémon Pinball combines fast flipper action with a unique way to catch your favorite Pokémon. Control the flippers to shoot the Poké Ball at targets on one of two PlayFields. Play on either the Ruby or Sapphire field to rack up as many points as possible. Catch over 200 Pokémon - featuring characters from Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire!

* Play pinball with your favorite Pokémon!
* Shoot the Poké Ball to find & catch Pokémon!
* Use the Game Boy Advance Game Link cable to share your Pokédex and Hi-Score with a friend! You'll need a Game Boy Advance Game Link and two Game Paks to link up with a friend (sold separately).
* Play on both the Ruby & Sapphire Fields.
* Try to catch over 200 Pokémon!

==Obtaining Pokémon==
Beyond getting a high score, the main aim of the game is to complete the Pokédex. All of the Pokémon in the regional Hoenn Pokédex are available in the game except for {{p|Deoxys}}. {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}} are also catchable in the game, though they are not able to evolve. This totals to 205 Pokémon.

There are three methods of obtaining Pokémon, all of which must be used to complete the Pokédex:
* '''Catch 'Em Mode''': This mode begins with a shadowed image which is uncovered by hitting the Pokémon bumpers three times. The Pokémon will then appear and must be hit three times before the two minutes run out to be caught.
* '''Egg Mode''': As soon as the Egg on the field hatches, the newborn Pokémon will start moving around the field. It must be hit twice within the time limit for a successful capture. Some, but not all, hatched Pokémon with three forms can also be caught in their middle form in Catch 'Em Mode.
* '''Evo Mode''': Most top-form Pokémon can only be obtained by evolving Pokémon caught through the above two methods. Once the Pokémon to evolve has been selected, three items must be collected in turn and the ball must then enter the Center Hole within two minutes. These items represent how the Pokémon evolves in the games.
*There are a few Pokémon that have a unique way of being caught. To catch {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}, their bonuses need to be completed twice in one game. To catch {{p|Jirachi}}, one must get into the start slot while in the Ruins area and match it on the Jirachi bonus. Jirachi moves around the field and must be hit three times in only thirty seconds.

Catching 15 Pokémon earns the player an extra ball.

==Poké Ball==
Fittingly with the other Pokémon-inspired tweaks to the basic pinball formula, the ball is a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Each table has three lights near the top of the upper half that, when lit simultaneously, will upgrade the Poké Ball temporarily to the next better basic Poké Ball; the upgrades are the Great Ball, the Ultra Ball, and the Master Ball. Each upgrade multiplies the points gained on the table by a different multiplier: 2×, 3×, and 4×, respectively.

==Bonus tables==
Catching a Pokémon in Catch 'Em Mode will cause one Poké Ball icon to light up below the display on the lower portion of the field. Evolving a Pokémon in Evolution Mode will cause two of these lights to light up instead (or one if there is no room for two). Three of these lights can be lit at a time; when all three are lit, the player can shoot the ball into the center hole to access one of several bonus stages that are progressed through in a linear fashion; if the player completes one bonus stage, then when he lights up the Poké Ball lights again, he can enter the next stage. Each table has a separate progression of three bonus tables, with only the final stage on each table (the {{p|Rayquaza}} stage) being the same for both tables.

===Kecleon bonus stage===
[[File:Pinball RS Kecleon Bonus.png|thumb|200px|Kecleon bonus stage]]
This is the first bonus stage on the Ruby Field.

Kecleon will turn invisible with its {{a|Color Change}} ability and can hide in tall grass. A [[Devon Scope]] can be knocked out of the tree to make it visible for a short time. Kecleon must be knocked over and then hit with the ball ten times in two minutes to win the bonus stage. 30,000,000 points are added after completion and multiplied by the type of Poké Ball.
{{-}}

===Groudon bonus stage===
[[File:Pinball RS Groudon Stage.png|thumb|200px|Groudon bonus stage]]
This is the second bonus stage on the Ruby Field.

Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an eruption to surround itself in four pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to complete the bonus stage. Completing this bonus stage will earn 50,000,000 points and multiplied by the type of Poké Ball. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
{{-}}

===Dusclops bonus stage===
[[File:Pinball RS Dusclops Bonus Stage Duskull.png|thumb|200px|Duskull on the Dusclops bonus stage]]
This is the first bonus stage on the Sapphire Field.

Similar to the Gengar Bonus Stage in Pokémon Pinball, this stage is set in the graveyard. Two wild {{p|Duskull}} appear at the same time. Twenty of them must be hit in order to make {{p|Dusclops}} appear. Then Dusclops must be hit five times to complete the bonus stage. Dusclops can only be hit in the back or while moving and can devour the ball if directed towards the front. 30,000,000 points are added after completion and multiplied by the type of Poké Ball.
{{-}}

===Kyogre bonus stage===
[[File:Pinball RS Kyogre Stage.png|thumb|200px|Kyogre bonus stage]]
This is the second bonus stage on the Sapphire Field.

Kyogre will first use Sheer Cold to freeze the ball in place. It will then create whirlpools to trap the ball further. Finally, it will dive into the water to evade being hit completely. However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Kyogre will be captured. Completing this bonus stage will earn 50,000,000 points and multiplied by the type of Poké Ball.
{{-}}

===Rayquaza bonus stage===
[[File:Pinball RS Rayquaza Bonus.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza bonus stage]]
This is the third bonus stage on both the Ruby and Sapphire Fields.

It can only be challenged after capturing Groudon or Kyogre and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured. 99,999,999 points are awarded after completion and multiplied by the type of Poké Ball.

Once the Rayquaza stage is completed, the rotation will cycle back to the first bonus stage for the table being played. Also, the music will change on both fields.
{{-}}

==Fields==
There are two playing fields in the game: the [[Ruby Field]] and the [[Sapphire Field]]. They are similar in design, but have very distinct differences. These differences include:
* The Sapphire Field has a {{p|Zigzagoon}} that can stop the slot roll, while the Ruby Field has a {{p|Makuhita}} that can send the ball through the coin loop.
* The requirements for getting to the {{p|Spheal}} Bonus Stage are different.
* All bonus stages are unique to one particular field except {{p|Rayquaza}}'s and Spheal's.
* There are two areas per field that are only accessible from that field.
* The Ruby Field has a ball upgrade available on the field, while the Sapphire Field does not.
* {{p|Latios}} is the Ball Saver for the Ruby Field and {{p|Latias}} is the Ball Saver for the Sapphire Field.

==Field mechanics==
On each field, various Pokémon appear, taking the place of more traditional pinball obstacles like switches and bumpers.

===Ruby Field===
[[File:Ruby Field.png|thumb|200px|[[Ruby Field]]]]
* {{p|Chinchou}} or {{p|Lotad}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the {{i|Poké Ball}} and also break silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode. This can be switched to Chinchou rotating counterclockwise, clockwise, moving up and down, one Chinchou, or Lotad replacing the Chinchou. This is done by pushing the yellow button to the left of them.
* {{p|Sharpedo}}: If the ball is sent to the right side of the table, Sharpedo will eat the ball and release it; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Makuhita}}: Makuhita appears in the middle right of the field. When the ball is near it, press the button for the right flipper to send the ball to a loop with {{p|Nuzleaf}}. Hitting the Nuzleaf twice will form a loop in which a ball upgrade, or, rarely, an extra ball can be obtained. This works only when {{p|Makuhita}} is in attack stance.
* {{p|Cyndaquil}}: Hitting Cyndaquil will knock it back. After a few hits, Cyndaquil will be knocked into the Egg stand and the flame on its back will start heating the Egg. Hitting Cyndaquil one more time will cause the Egg to hatch and the player will have a chance to catch the newly hatched Pokémon.
* {{p|Chikorita}}: Hitting a button near Chikorita will cause Chikorita to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} in which two Linoone pop out on each side of the field.
* {{p|Linoone}}: Two Linoone hide on each side of the field, a Chikorita must be hit for the Linoone to pop out. The left Linoone will cause a Gulpin to appear and the right Linoone will change Makuhita's stance.
* {{p|Gulpin}}: Make three of these appear to trigger Travel mode. One will appear when the left Linoone is hit.
* {{p|Whiscash}}: Whiscash replaces the bumpers at the top of the field, sending the ball to the {{p|Spheal}} bonus stage if the ball is directed toward its mouth. Hitting Whiscash at the top will make Whiscash angry and cause an {{m|Earthquake}}, shaking the field.
* {{p|Latios}}: Latios is the Ball Saver for the Ruby Field.

===Sapphire Field===
[[File:Sapphire Field.png|thumb|200px|[[Sapphire Field]]]]
* {{p|Shroomish}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the {{i|Poké Ball}} and also break silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode.
* {{p|Wailmer}}: If the ball is sent to the right side of the table, Wailmer will eat the ball and release it; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}: They block access to the Poké Mart with electric barriers. Hitting the plus and minus buttons on each side will cause the barriers to switch off, allowing access to the shop.
* {{p|Zigzagoon}}: By hitting the right button, Zigzagoon can force the slot to stop.
* {{p|Seedot}}: Making three appear will trigger Travel mode. Hitting the left button makes one appear.
* {{p|Pelipper}}: Pelipper can take the ball to the top of the table or to the Spheal bonus stage.
* {{p|Latias}}: Latias is the Ball Saver for the Sapphire Field.

===Both fields===
*{{p|Spoink}}: Spoink serves as the launcher for the ball.
*{{p|Pikachu}}: Pikachu can appear under either one of the exit lanes (from which the ball cannot normally be saved); Pikachu's location is toggled with the flipper buttons. If the ball would exit the table via the exit lane that Pikachu is under, if Pikachu is ready, then instead it will rebound the ball onto the field by using {{m|Thunder Shock|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is readied by spinning a spinner on the right side of the large loop on each table. There is a gauge with a lightning bolt symbol in it to indicate how ready Pikachu is; it can only rebound the ball if this gauge is full.
*{{p|Pichu}}: If obtained via the slot or the Poké Mart, for the rest of the ball, the Pichu can assist Pikachu if the ball reaches the exit lines.
{{-}}

==Areas==
The species of Pokémon that are available in Catch 'Em Mode are dependent on the areas, though this is the only effect that areas have on the gameplay. The current area is represented through the image between the Catch Counter and center hole.

There are nine areas, of which seven can be reached on each field. The Forest, Ocean, Plains, Cave and Ruins are available on both fields with only a slight variation in the available Pokémon between the two. The Volcano and Safari Zone are unique to the Ruby Field while the Wilderness and Lake are unique to the Sapphire Field.

The first area is chosen at random at the start of the game. After this, a new area can be reached through Travel Mode. Once the mode begins, the Poké Ball must be sent round a loop and then sent into the Center Hole within one minute. The areas are in a set order, though two are available in one Travel Mode; the next in line is reached though the left loop while the second in line is reached through the right loop. The Ruins cannot be reached until the sixth journey.

==Slots==
By lighting up all four "HOLE" lights at the top of the four lanes, the player makes the "Slots" bonus available. This makes the center hole open, and by shooting the ball into it, the player activates the slots. A slot reel will spin around and the player can make it stop by pressing 'A' (it can be forced to stop by using {{p|Zigzagoon}} in Sapphire Field). The player is then awarded one of the following bonuses:

* Small: A bonus of 100 - 900 points.
* Big: A bonus of 1,000,000 - 9,000,000 points.
* Get: Starts Catch 'Em Mode.
* Evo: Starts Evolution Mode.
* Saver: For the next 30/60/90 seconds, if the ball is drained, Latios or Latias will return the ball to the Spoink and the ball can be launched.
* Pika: For the rest of this ball Pichu will assist the Pikachu in saving the ball if it goes into the out lanes.
* Upgrade: The ball is upgraded to the next level, increasing the score multiplier.
* Max: The ball is upgraded to the max level (Master ball), increasing the score multiplier.
* Extra: The player receives an extra ball (an extra life).
* Bonus multiplier: The bonus multiplier is increased.
* Go to bonus: The player immediately plays the next bonus stage.

Note that the player can light up the four "HOLE" lights at any time, however the slots will only become available when the player is not in Catch 'Em, Evolution or Travel modes and the bonus stage is not available.

==Pokémon Mart==
{{main|Pokémon Mart (Pinball)}}

A new feature to this pinball game is the shop. Coins are earned by sending the ball through the Coin loop and can be spent on items:
* 30 Second Ball Saver (10 coins)
* 60 Second Ball Saver (20 coins)
* 90 Second Ball Saver (30 coins)
* Ball Upgrade (40 coins)
* Timer Up (40 coins) - This adds 30 seconds to the next timed event.
* Pika (50 coins) - {{p|Pichu}} joins {{p|Pikachu}}. For the rest of that ball, the Poké Ball is guaranteed to be rescued if it falls to the sides of the fields.
* Bonus Challenge (60 coins) - The ball will be transported to the {{p|Sealeo}} Bonus Field.
* Extra Ball (99 coins) - The player receives an extra ball (an extra life). Available once after starting and then again after each time Rayquaza has been caught.

When Evo Mode is possible, the activation of it will replace the shop.

==e-Reader Compatibility==
The Japanese version of Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire was made compatible with the [[e-Reader]] accessory. There were five cards released for use with Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, all of which were available through promotions. The cards provide tweaks to the game to grant players access to in-game events which could be very difficult to trigger. Due to incompatibility issues, the e-Reader functions are removed in the [[Virtual Console]] release.

'''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 until the Wii Shop Channel shut down on January 31, 2019. {{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.

It 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.

On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to {{game|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 {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==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===
[[File:My Pokémon Ranch screenshot.png|320px|thumb|Hayley with a player's Pokémon]]
* My Pokémon Ranch is able to connect, store and withdraw Pokémon from eight different {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|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]], [[move]]s, 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 [[Hayley's trades|traded Pokémon]] can be withdrawn onto the player's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond or Pearl}} game card.
* A Pokémon's {{Shiny}} coloring, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]], and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] are visible in the game.
* If a Pokémon came from a special place or is [[level]] 100, they will sparkle in green or blue sparkles, respectively. If both are applicable to the said Pokémon, then there will be sparkles of both colors.

===Platinum update===
[[‎File:Mpr platinumscreen.jpg|thumb|right|350px|A screenshot taken after installing the Platinum update. Note the {{p|Giratina}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]]]]
On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to {{game|Platinum}}. This update has not been released outside of Japan. My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update, meaning the title is incompatible with Pokémon Platinum in regions other than Japan.

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.
* {{p|Giratina}} Origin Forme will appear if it is holding a [[Griseous Orb]] when deposited.
* {{p|Shaymin}} Sky Forme can be added by touching the toy [[Gracidea]], which, like all toys, can appear every once in a while.
* New {{p|Rotom}} forms can be added by depositing them when they are in that appliance.
* 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.
* Twelve new animations can be played. Some new animations consist of battles between rivals, such as {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
* 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.

===Wanted Pokémon===
[[File:RanchRequestGliscor.png|250px|thumb|right|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|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.

All of these Pokémon will have the [[Original Trainer|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, {{p|Leafeon}}. When Leafeon is brought to the ranch, she will offer to trade it for her {{p|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==
[[File:Ranch totem pole.jpg|250px|thumb|right|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.

===Initial events===
# Attention - Deposit at least 1 Pokémon
# ZigZag Parade - Deposit at least 25 {{p|Zigzagoon}}

# Darkrai vs Cresselia
# Rotom forms

==Toys==
Toys with which Pokémon and Miis may play are delivered to the ranch every day from Level 4 onwards (when the user has deposited 15 Pokémon into the Ranch). The type of toys delivered randomly changes every day, and the amount of toys depends on the level of the ranch. Each toy comes in a present box, which must be picked up and dropped to open.

==Club Look-See==
{{main|Club Look-See}}
[[File:CLS Penny.jpg|thumb|250px|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.

The largest criticisms of the game was the lack of interaction with the game,<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/wiiware-my-pokemon-ranch-and-pop-review]</ref> and the fact that the player has to own a copy of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} for the majority of the game's features to be accessible.<ref>[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html]</ref> 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".<ref>[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html]</ref> The game received an average score of 47% on [http://www.metacritic.com/search/process.shtml?page=3&sid=MTIzMDk4MzM1OTU2Ny44MjUxNzcz&sort=relevance&ts=pokemon&y=7&termType=all&ty=3&x=19 Metacritic].

==Trivia==
* Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have certain characteristics exclusive to the species: for example, {{p|Mankey}} is often angry, and {{p|Weezing}} will occasionally emit a yellow, stinky gas that scares away other Pokémon (similar to the toy Stinky ball).

{{StrategyWiki|My Pokémon Ranch}}
'''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 until the Wii Shop Channel shut down on January 31, 2019. {{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.

It 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.

On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to {{game|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 {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==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===
[[File:My Pokémon Ranch screenshot.png|320px|thumb|Hayley with a player's Pokémon]]
* My Pokémon Ranch is able to connect, store and withdraw Pokémon from eight different {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|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]], [[move]]s, 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 [[Hayley's trades|traded Pokémon]] can be withdrawn onto the player's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond or Pearl}} game card.
* A Pokémon's {{Shiny}} coloring, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]], and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] are visible in the game.
* If a Pokémon came from a special place or is [[level]] 100, they will sparkle in green or blue sparkles, respectively. If both are applicable to the said Pokémon, then there will be sparkles of both colors.

===Platinum update===
[[‎File:Mpr platinumscreen.jpg|thumb|right|350px|A screenshot taken after installing the Platinum update. Note the {{p|Giratina}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]]]]
On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to {{game|Platinum}}. This update has not been released outside of Japan. My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update, meaning the title is incompatible with Pokémon Platinum in regions other than Japan.

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.
* {{p|Giratina}} Origin Forme will appear if it is holding a [[Griseous Orb]] when deposited.
* {{p|Shaymin}} Sky Forme can be added by touching the toy [[Gracidea]], which, like all toys, can appear every once in a while.
* New {{p|Rotom}} forms can be added by depositing them when they are in that appliance.
* 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.
* Twelve new animations can be played. Some new animations consist of battles between rivals, such as {{p|Zangoose}} and {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}}.
* 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.

===Wanted Pokémon===
[[File:RanchRequestGliscor.png|250px|thumb|right|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|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.

All of these Pokémon will have the [[Original Trainer|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, {{p|Leafeon}}. When Leafeon is brought to the ranch, she will offer to trade it for her {{p|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==
[[File:Ranch totem pole.jpg|250px|thumb|right|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.

===Initial events===
# Attention - Deposit at least 1 Pokémon
# ZigZag Parade - Deposit at least 25 {{p|Zigzagoon}}

# Dialga vs Palkia
# Zangoose vs Seviper
# Darkrai vs Cresselia
# Rotom forms

==Toys==
Toys with which Pokémon and Miis may play are delivered to the ranch every day from Level 4 onwards (when the user has deposited 15 Pokémon into the Ranch). The type of toys delivered randomly changes every day, and the amount of toys depends on the level of the ranch. Each toy comes in a present box, which must be picked up and dropped to open.

==Club Look-See==
{{main|Club Look-See}}
[[File:CLS Penny.jpg|thumb|250px|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.

==Reception==
My Pokémon Ranch received generally negative reviews. The largest criticisms of the game was the lack of interaction with the game,<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/wiiware-my-pokemon-ranch-and-pop-review]</ref> and the fact that the player has to own a copy of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} for the majority of the game's features to be accessible.<ref>[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html]</ref> 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".<ref>[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html]</ref> The game received an average score of 47% on [http://www.metacritic.com/search/process.shtml?page=3&sid=MTIzMDk4MzM1OTU2Ny44MjUxNzcz&sort=relevance&ts=pokemon&y=7&termType=all&ty=3&x=19 Metacritic].

==Trivia==
* Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have certain characteristics exclusive to the species: for example, {{p|Mankey}} is often angry, and {{p|Weezing}} will occasionally emit a yellow, stinky gas that scares away other Pokémon (similar to the toy Stinky ball).
