      Fun fact: The highest levelled Pokémon of the Elite Four and Champion in Pokémon Platinum is a boss here:
      Aaron: Drapion
      Bertha: Rhyperior
      Flint: Magmortar
      Lucian: Gallade
      Cynthia: Garchomp

      @@JCDragon2819 Cynthia also had Lucario & Spiritomb, while Infernape was Flint's best Pokemon in DP. Candice & Volkner's Platinum Aces Froslass & Electivire were bosses as well. Probably nothing more than a coincidence with them being chosen for both because of their being powerful Sinnoh Pokemon.
      You have to wonder what would have been the boss pokemon in a Gen 5 Ranger Game? My guess is Scolipede, Volcarona, Hydreigon, Zoroark, & Legendary Pokemon. A Gen 6 Ranger game would have probably made each of the Mega Evolutions from XY into bosses had it happened. Alas the Ranger games stopped after Gen 4's Guardian Signs so we'll never know.

    I just started replaying the game and first try I beat Drapion without taking any damage. No joke it was stressful near the end.

      I would recommend the 1st one because I like it better but if you're playing shadows of Almia, guardian signs is more similar to that game because the 1st ranger game's capture mechanic is different than the other 2 have because you have to capture the pokemon in a single round (they don't have an HP bar or meter, they have a set amount of numbers you have to loop around)

    I played this recently on an Android emulator without a stylus...my thumb was sore HOURS after the final mission (I completed Altru Tower in one sitting)
    Definitely one of my favourite games ever

    been playing the game again, now noticing that these bosses aint nothing if your partner is shieldon, if you know how to use the steel type assist while also looping to regen the partner gauge its easier than it seems

    A remake on the switch would be a literar dream come true

      I thought about how that would be on switch...maybe you do like a circle motion with the joycons, kinda like motion controls on Wii? Would be tight for sure.

    Spiritomb was my personal HELL
    So were any "fast" pokemon but the ones that teleports are especially harsh for me because shieldon cant just make them utterly useless lol

      Yeah Spiritomb was pretty hard for me too haha

    Wait, does that thing you did with the Wii U at the beginning actually work? I’m not expecting it to, of course.

    • @ethan0248910
      @ethan0248910  4 года назад

      Sadly no, it'd be cool if there was some kind of add on to the Wii U to play Nintendo DS games similar to the GameBoy Player for the GameCube.
