Nintendo DS Series

[DS stands for both 'Developers' System' and 'Dual Screen']
I think one of the first console systems I had as a kid. We had the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DSi XL, and the Nintendo 3DS XL.

Pokemon Ranger
Pokemon Ranger Game Pokemon Ranger is the first game in the series and it has to be my favorite pokemon game ever. The story, characters, and gameplay were top tier. I scratched the fuck out of the bottom ds screen trying to capture pokemon. You were also able to collect a manaphy egg from the secret missions and transfer it to the pokemon diamond ds game, which was so cool.
Shadows of Almia Game Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia is the second game in the series. This one lowkey is the better pokemon ranger game but the first one is ranked higher because of nostalgia. The world building in this one is awesome and the map is just so much bigger. This game also introduced the concept of partner pokemon, which was a great choice. I am still in the process of completing this game 100%, but I finished the main storyline and only have the side quests to do and completing the pokedex.

Pokemon: Diamond Version
Pokemon Diamond Game If I am being honest, I only got this game in order to hatch the manaphy egg I got from the pokemon ranger games. Overall it is a pretty fun game but I have yet to finish it since I have gotten it because I can't beat one of the gym leaders. I will say, naming the pokemon you get is really fun and the graphics are so classic.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Game When I said Pokemon Ranger was my favorite game, I might have lied. This pokemon game is genuinely so good. Something about a world centered only on pokemon and no humans makes this game so charming. The dungeon gameplay is also really fun, it's a turn-based game and you complete missions. I have actually never finished the game since I played it as a kid, but might go back and finish it now that I have a developed brain.
