Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|video game}} on March 23, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[M09|the ninth movie]], and in a short [[Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission|manga series]].
