Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a WiiWare virtual pet/storage app that connects with Diamond/Pearl. It lets you transfer up to 1,000 Pokémon, view them in a 3D ranch, take snapshots, and watch them interact with Miis.
It’s largely passive—Pokémon move around, interact randomly, and react to the Wii clock. It adds a permanent touch-screen map, quick-turn, tactical reload, and a Rebirth mode with new puzzles and enemies.
Yes. Daily “wanted” requests from Hayley prompt you to send specific Pokémon from Diamond/Pearl, and she may trade Pokémon like Mew or Phione at certain ranch levels.
It only works with Diamond/Pearl (Platinum support only in Japan), and Pokémon withdraw only to their original DS save. Reviews call it “sit‑n‑stare” and a “screensaver” with limited interactivity. Scores are around 4/10.
It appeals to collectors who enjoyed 3D Pokémon interactions and photo features. It lacks meaningful gameplay and modern quality‑of‑life, so only nostalgia‑driven users should revisit it.
