It makes a nice Wii Channel. Could have done with something more substantial. [June 2008, p.67]
Only fellow Pokémon fanatics will get a similar level of enjoyment.

I think that a lot of people would or have felt quite a disappointment with this game, as people probably except more gameplay from something labeled with "Pokémon". However, there is no possibility to download this game without a ROM these days, which is unfortunate for the people that never at least got to experience the game one time.
While this game is mostly just a game where you watch the pokémon make simple interactions with Miis, toys and other pokémon, it still is very pleasing to just watch for a little while every day! Seeing pokémon in these polygonic shapes give them a very different charm, and I think Ambrella's contribution is very under appreciated.
The game doesn't really have any story other than you expanding the farm with more pokémon. But in general the music, "gameplay" and graphics have a very simple yet clean style. And also a very nice game to go into every day if you want Hayley to bring a new pokémon to the farm!

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.
As long as these audiences keep their expectations in check they may find themselves charmed by this goofy WiiWare title, but everyone else need only look at the screenshots and their gut reaction should let them know where they stand.
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.
Not really a game, but even as an application this is pretty flaky stuff. [Sept 2008, p.78]
Had this been offered as a free (or at least dirt-cheap) bonus download for Pokémon DS owners, the sweet graphics and empty-headed concept might have been charming. At the same price point charged for the sublime "LostWinds" it's a brazen insult, and marks a new low in the exploitation of the Pokémon brand.
This game deserves to be rated on what it was trying to be, not compared to Triple A titles. In the age of smartphone apps we can now appreciate this fun little Wii app as a collection tool for children. You can collect Pokemon daily, expand your farm, and collect toys that the Pokemon can interact with. It isn't the most in depth original app on the Wii, but it's a cute Generation 4 add-on for Pokemon fans. Bonus points come from the connectivity between Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions with this app.

The game is useful but the game is kinda pointless but fun and entertaining so this game is okay but not the best but its not bad its just flawed most of the time.

The game barely qualify's as a game and more like a screensaver for the wii.
