Great Game!
This game is really good, from touch screen usage to capture pokemon to each pokemons special abilities. Personally, my favorite part is that you can get a Manaphy and send it to your Pokemon Diamond or Pearl.
The storyline is good, and you still have things to do after the game is over. After you do that, then there is nothing to do.

For 35 bucks, it isn't worth it...
...but for 15, it is. And yeah, Amazon has cut the price, so you can get it for that much!
Pokemon Ranger is a bit different from the other Pokemon games in the series (to be expected). The DS-style gameplay is a refreshing change from the capture-style used in other games (such as Pokemon R,B,Y,G,S,Ru,Sa,Em,FR,LG,D,P,(!!!)), although it can get old. Rather than throwing Pokeballs from a menu command, you "draw" them with your stylus (which generally means circling Pokemon).
I enjoyed the game for numerous reasons (not the least of which is the ability to get a top-notch Pokemon for Diamond), but I wouldn't have if the game was full price. The graphics are not at all special, and the gameplay does get a bit old, but it's entertaining for what it is. Happy hunting!

And they just keep coming
As a hardcore Pokemon fan, I found Pokemon Ranger to be a fun game. Although it can get repatitive at times, I'm really enjoying it so far. It makes good use of the stylus, which is nice to see the DS's potential on occassion. If you like pokemon then pick this one up, its a good one for the collection.
