August 9, 2005 - Remember all that buzz about a possible new Pokemon game being prepared to coincide with the Japanese debut of next year's Pokemon flick? It turns out that Nintendo wasn't just talking about one new Pokemon title, but three!

First up is Pokemon Ranger: The Road to Diamond and Pearl for the DS. This newest title is an action RPG set in the world of the upcoming Pokemon Ranger movie. You play as a Pokemon Ranger. Different from a Pokemon Trainer, a Ranger travels the lands, using Pokemon in a fight to defend nature from baddies. Pokemon Ranger is set for Japanese release in 2006. Its release will precede that of Diamond and Pearl with the games all linking up together for some top secret bonuses.

Nintendo is also working on a new puzzle game for the DS featuring more than 380 of your favorite Pokemon. Titled Pokemon Torouze, the DS's dual screens are used to display a game board showing Pokemon face pieces. Using the touch pen, your goal is to line up four like pieces vertically or horizontally. The pieces then disappear. In addition to pure puzzle-based gameplay, Torouze will also include an adventure mode in which you lead main character Lucy Lightfoot on a big adventure to save her Pokemon friends from an evil organization.

The fun doesn't end there, though. Both DS and Game Boy Advance owners can look forward to a new type of Pokemon game with Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon, a game based off he long-running, Japan-only Mysterious Dungeon series of games. The DS will be getting Blue Rescue Force with the GBA getting Red Rescue Force. Aside from the name, and an expected simultaneous Winter release date for both versions, we know nothing about this surprise pair.

Pokemon Torouze will kick off this new batch of Pokemon fun with a Japanese release set for 10/20. There's no word yet from Nintendo of America on the release plans for any of these new titles.

woa the ranger one sounds cool but the puzle one sounds ...gay .Pokemon dash was slightly dissapointing so i thought they would make a quick release to make up for it

nice,
but pokemon is getting old

Nice finally your not playing as a trainer.

Yes, this wil be great. I just hope that Nintendo plans to bring it over, but hey that's what roms are for.lol

i want them to change the battle system that they have in the pokemon games.

dout it but the double screen will  add someting extra like you can see the map and walk on routes at the same time

Doesn't a ranger sound like a pokemon trainer. i mean, you just fight other people and you have another goal but its still the same.

i cant wait for this games , and i need a good ds emulator!!dammit

ineed a good emulator too. i have 2 and they wont play my only ds rom. i think dimond version makes no sense

i like the ranger idea. and in red rescue force you can trade pokemon with the original red and blue.but thats just what i heard from serebii.net

Apparently, you actually play as the Pokemon in one of the games.

Very nice.
Can't wait.

i hope that they dont make new pokemon
they already have 351 pokemon out

yeah, i noe
this sucks

What they need to do is make a pokemon strategy rpg.  Your party of six pokemon fight on the field simultaneously, and position counts.  The one on one thing was fine at first, but the game style hasn't matured very much.
