Enjoy the relaxing Ranch life by watching over your Ranch and its Pokémon, taking pictures and sending those pictures to your friends. The more Pokémon and Miis that you bring to your Ranch, the more fun it becomes!

At My Pokémon Ranch, you can watch your Pokémon dance, march in a parade and give your Mii a ride around the Ranch. You never know what your favourite Pokémon will do next! When you’re ready to show off your Ranch, invite your Wii Friends to pay it a visit via Wii Connect 24.

Hayley, the creator of Pokémon Ranch, has a dream to one day see the grounds of the Ranch filled with Pokémon.

Pop is all about popping bubbles! It may sound simple but there are lots of things you can do to get a high-score and have fun. Just keep an eye on the timer because when it runs out it's game-over!

Each bubble is worth both points and time so try to fill up your timer first then focus on scoring high. You can then start to chain the same color of bubble for big points by popping bubbles of the same color. This is a great way to increase you score.

Friends can join you in a game of Pop too! Whenever you are playing all they need to do is connect their Wii Remote and then join in the action. Watch out because they may start using power-ups to hold you back! If they do try to pump up some bubbles or detonate a nuke this will create a shock-wave which will destroy any matching colors of bubbles it touches.

Finally there are badges for completing certain objectives; online high-score tables and WiiConnect24 messages so you can keep up with your friends progress and boast about your own.

Jump straight into the action with Quick Play modes for one or two players, put your skills to the ultimate test in Challenge Mode or see if you can survive Quest Mode where every level brings a new way to play!

Or, if you’re in a party mood, try Multiplayer Mode for up to four players! You can play with friends, against the computer or a combination of both. Work together to clear the Gemstones or compete to see who’s the Actionloop Twist master!
