Pokemon Ranch Updated for Platinum

The Japanese version of My Pokemon Ranch got a major update today across the pond, bringing the WiiWare title up to full "Platinum" status.

Pokemon fanatics have probably already figured out what that means. That's right, your Pokemon collection from Pokemon Platinum (currently available in Japan only) can now be transferred over to Pokemon Ranch! For those who need solid numbers, you can now handle up to 1,500 Pokemon on your ranch.

The update adds a number of other features as well, including selectable background music and new events. In the screen shots we've included in our media section below, you'll find shots of your ranch grounds becoming a pool!

In Japan, the update replaces the old version of Pokemon Ranch and will retain the current 1,000 WiiPoint price point. Owners of the older version can upgrade for free.
