The game is set in a new region called [[Almia]] where the base of operations is a [[Ranger School]] that the main characters have just graduated from. The selection of [[partner Pokémon]] has risen from solely {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} to a choice between 17 different species. Additionally, there are several side quests and a card collection system used to power up the [[Capture Styler]]. | The game is set in a new region called [[Almia]] where the base of operations is a [[Ranger School]] that the main characters have just graduated from.

* There were three Pokémon unlocked in this game by ''Special Missions'' in [[Ranger Net]], in the vein of the {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} mission in the prequel. These missions are no longer available. The Pokémon available were a {{p|Manaphy}} Egg, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}}. | * There were three Pokémon unlocked in this game by ''Special Missions'' in [[Ranger Net]], in the vein of the {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} mission in the prequel.

* In addition to the aforementioned special missions, there is another group of missions called ''extra missions''. The rare Pokémon encountered during these missions are {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} (Land Forme). Unlike in the special missions, the Pokémon captured in extra missions are not allowed to be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}. | * In addition to the aforementioned special missions, there is another group of missions called ''extra missions''.

* The game | * The game was able utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for unlocking both special and extra missions, but only for a limited period of time and prior to the discontinuation of the service in favor of Nintendo solely supporting the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS's Nintendo Network. They did not work for different regions; only the specific game version when the event is held would be able to use the function. | ||
* Special Missions can be repeated but sending the Pokémon can only be done once. This is an improvement over the original, as replaying the Manaphy mission only played a cutscene in which Lunick, Solana, and the Professor's assistant discuss Manaphy. | * Special Missions can be repeated but sending the Pokémon can only be done once.
