Story
The player and a fellow Ranger, Summer (Ben if the player is female), are flying on Staraptors while pursuing the Pokémon Pinchers, who are chasing Latios ( Latias if the player is female). The player distracts the Pinchers, allowing Latios or Latias to escape. Their squad leader, Red Eyes, then intervenes and fires a plasma weapon after being taunted by the player's partner. The player shields their partner from the attack and falls into the sea below, losing and later recovering their styler, while their partner is kidnapped.
The player subsequently washes ashore on Dolce Island. The player meets a Pichu carrying a ukulele , known as Ukulele Pichu. After repairing its broken instrument, Ukulele Pichu becomes the player's partner Pokémon. As a newly recruited Pokémon Ranger , the player undertakes various missions and encounters allies, rivals, and numerous Pokémon.
The primary antagonists, the Pokémon Pinchers, control Pokémon for their own purposes. Accompanied by new Pokémon partners, the player sets out to stop the Pokémon Pinchers and restore peace to Oblivia.
Gameplay Systems
Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs is an action role-playing game in which players capture Pokémon using the Capture Styler by drawing circles around them. If a Pokémon breaks through the drawn circles by attacking, the styler loses energy. When its energy reaches zero, the styler breaks and the game resumes from the last save point. If a Pokémon crosses the styler's line without attacking, the line breaks but the styler does not lose energy.
Capturing Pokémon and completing missions increases experience points, allowing for styler upgrades such as increased power and energy capacity. Later in the game, the styler can be charged to make captures more effective. One of the new features lets you call out your Pokémon for support and to help in captures. The player can use "Guardian Signs" (referred to in the game as "Ranger Signs" or "Emblems") by drawing certain symbols to summon Legendary Pokémon such as Entei , Raikou , and Suicune for use outside of battle.
Other features include four player cooperative play with unique missions. The game also includes Wi-Fi mission downloads, one of which gives you access to Deoxys , which can be moved to the DS's other Pokémon games.
