Has anyone played this game for the Wii?

It's a cute "game" for the Wii that came out in 2008 and allows you to store Pokemon that are transferred from your Nintendo DS Diamond or Pearl games! There are a few things that you can unlock by depositing Pokemon to Ranch, including a Phione and a Mew!

I got My Pokemon Ranch back in 2012 I believe, and barely did anything with it at the time aside from using it to store extra legendaries from my copy of Diamond, to free up storage in my PC. But in the last year or so I've been really getting into discovering the events and other cute things the game offers by having specific Pokemon in there!

I've posted a few YouTube videos to archive what the "Club Look-See" Members' Ranches look like, if you want to check that out!

Also, please check out this silly one I uploaded!

Do you want to POKéMON with me?

The game is so nostalgic that I’m tempted to delete my save file and start over again. Only thing is that I do have Pokémon on there that I lost because I no longer have the save file on my Pokémon Diamond to retrieve them.

Maybe in a few years. It was cool to finally get Mew so getting another would be awesome.

I do miss the artstyle. It shares it with Pokémon Rumble. It’s a shame that we never got the platinum update and that the Rumble series went downhill. I miss spin off games where you could shiny hunt like Rumble and Quest.

I hope with the success of Pokopia that it opens doors for other types of cool spin off games. The possibility of a My Pokémon Ranch 2 would make me so happy, but have to keep my expectations low from now on…

I think you can move your save to an SD card on the Wii maybe? I've never done it but I thought I saw that was an option. Maybe that way you can keep both files?

I didn't know that was a thing. I’ll have to look into that. Definitely a good idea if it’s possible.
