My Pokémon Ranch
My Pokémon Ranch (Japanese: みんなのポケモン牧場 Everyone's Pokémon Ranch) is a WiiWare title that was announced at Nintendo's fall 2007 conference. It was developed by Ambrella and can be purchased for 1,000 Wii Points. Pokémon can be transferred from Diamond and Pearl and stored on a farm. The player can use up to 8 Diamond and Pearl games to send their Pokémon, which then can be organized in the ranch by factors like height and weight. Hayley will give the player information on the Pokémon, which will be different from the info in the games. She will also bring a Pokémon each day to the ranch for which the player can trade.

The farm is owned by Hayley, a friend of Bebe's. Players can sort, take pictures of, and interact with up to 1,000 of their Pokémon.
It is essentially a Generation IV version of Pokémon Box. However, it is notable that Pokémon Ranch is similar to Pokémon Battle Revolution in that it will only interact with specific save files. This means that if a Pokémon is placed on the ranch, only the game from which it was placed onto the ranch may take the Pokémon back off it. This prevents people storing Pokémon and starting a new game - something for which previous storage titles were quite useful.
Wanted Pokémon and Trading
Once a player has stored Pokémon for the first time, Hayley will take your Pokédex data and from it, request "Wanted Pokémon", Pokémon that are (typically) not yet in the player's Pokédex. The game will provide the player with all the information on acquiring the listed Pokémon, including information on a Pokémon's pre-evolved form, and if an item is needed to evolve it, where that item can be found. This can be used to both assist and motivate said player into completing their Pokédex. The player is given 10 days to acquire this Pokémon until the post is removed and a new one is made. Whenever the player brings in one of the "Wanted Pokémon", Hayley will offer to trade one of her Pokémon for it, and the Pokémon received will be one of the following twenty and will know a TM, egg move, or have something else that makes them unique:
- Pikachu
- Vulpix
- Ponyta
- Lickitung
- Tangela
- Eevee
- Aerodactyl
- Yanma
- Miltank
- Shroomish
- Wailmer
- Wynaut
- Staravia
- Combee
- Pachirisu
- Shellos
- Buneary
- Croagunk
- Finneon
- Snover
Hayley will only make up to three trades per day (some days she won't trade at all).
In addition to these, two special Pokémon are available. Phione will be traded to the player for a Leafeon once 250 Pokémon are on the Farm, while Mew becomes available once 999 Pokémon are present in his/her farm.
