I'm between a 3 and 4 on this but lean more towards three. Gameplay is fun if not repetitive. I can only play for an hour or so before it becomes tedious. I actually struggled a bit with some of the captures in this game (the tyranitar, charizard, legendary dogs, and the mew special net mission stick out specifically). And oh my, the go-rock-squad secret base puzzle, the one with the blinking floor panels, drove me crazy. I spent a good 20 mins trying to get across that floor. Story wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about either. I find it ironic that the pokemon world has pokemon rangers in it when everyone else is throwing pokeballs left and right capturing pokemon. Neat little spinoff that seems to be discontinued as of now. Plan on playing the sequels eventually, but for now I think I kind of want to dive back into PMD. I played EOS a few months ago and absolutely loved it, so I might check out the OG Blue rescue team. Man, I love having a modded 3DS.
