    I love this game. It's low maintenance and not really a game you play with an enthusiasm. However, I like the idea of growing a 'ranch' and seeing the Mii version of my family and myself relaxing with super cute pokemons in the middle of nowhere - so peaceful! A little bit like Big Brother and you keep going back to see them in the screen again and again. But unlike BB, it's an embarassement free pastime. Highly recommended.… Expand

    It's not a game, it's a Pokemon screen saver... and not a very interesting one. Even the most diehard young Pokemon fanatic will tire of this within half an hour.

    THIS IS NOT A GAME. IT IS ALSO NOT A SCREENSAVER. It's a freaking storage box for your freaking pokemon. The gamecube version (called, more appropriately, Pokemon Box) just looked like your PC storage interface in the main Pokemon games. It's there just to let you store pokemon, and it does an awesome job at that.

    This mini-screensaver would have been better suited to a $3 WiiWare purchase. For Diamond & Pearl owners, My Pokémon Ranch is little more than a PC box extension, and even then it's not worth the fraction of a cent it cost to sustain your internet connection while downloading it. Worse yet, for those without the DS game, this WiiWare title has literally nothing to offer.

    From the beginning of the game, I was bored, while to the end of the game, I would be probably sleeping, and in between, I would wonder why I spent twenty dollars on the most poorly made and useless game in the whole Pokemon series.

    If you are playing Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and have not completed your Pokédex, then this game will help you and will probably be a lot of fun. However, if you have completed your Pokédex or do not own Diamond or Pearl, then this game is a complete waste.

    The best way to describe My Pokemon Ranch is to say that it's just a built-in Mii Channel, but now you can watch Pokemon wander around the screen. But that's just not any where near enough of a draw to plunk down ten bucks.

    The almost total lack of interaction makes the title difficult to recommend to many audiences, but if you need to fill out your Pokédex and enjoy watching cute creatures fart on each other, My Pokémon Ranch might be worth a look.
