Pokémon Ranger: Diseases of Nature

Pokémon Rangers: Diseases of Nature is a roleplaying game for the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike the previous Pokémon Ranger entries, it features all Pokémon. It takes place in a new region named Lanis, seemingly based on part of the United States. Major additions to the game include the presense of viruses on the Pokémon, which have a variety of effects, but have one in common; they make the creature much less friendly and most often, hostile. The players have to capture them, and then bring them to "Heal Zones" where the Pokémon are treated.
==Story==
==Gameplay==
The game focuses on doing "Missions" and follow the plot. Players must "capture" Pokémon and use them to solve simple puzzles in order to save endangered Pokémon or people, or stop evil schemes.
Players will encounter a variety of obstacles during their adventures. In order to cross them, they will have to capture Pokémon and then use thier "Field Move" on the obstacle in order to break it. This is called a "Target Clear". Some field moves also aid travelling; for example, Pokémon with Fly can be used to fly to a location on the map.
Players may occasionally see NPCs with a "..." speech bubble over their head. Talking to them will make them ask you to do a "Quest". For example, one NPC may have lost their Litten, and you will have to find the Litten and catch it, then bring it back to the NPC. A few quests also involve you getting an object from an NPC.
Capturing Pokémon is not done like in the traditional Pokémon games. Instead, you have to use the "Capture Styler" to form rings around the Pokémon. Doing this conveys friendship to them. When you convey enough friendship to them, they are "Captured".
