Pokémon Ranger is unlike any Pokémon game you've played before. You control your character using the stylus, and all Pokémon are captured using a Capture Styler instead of a Poké Ball. Since you're a Pokémon Ranger and not a trainer, you must release each captured Pokémon back into the wild after they help you. It's a whole new way to explore the Pokémon universe!The Capture Styler is the tool a Pokémon Ranger uses to capture Pokémon in the wild. When you touch a wild Pokémon, a battle begins. Using your stylus, you must circle the wild Pokémon a set number of times to capture it. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! Most Pokémon won't be captured without a fight.Some Pokémon are so difficult to capture that you'll need to call on the help of Pokémon you've already captured. This is called a Poké Assist. When you execute a Poké Assist, the helper Pokémon's power is transferred to your Capture Styler and provides assistance in a number of ways.
