'''My Pokémon Ranch''' (Japanese: '''みんなのポケモン{{tt|牧場|ぼくじょう}}''' ''Everyone's Pokémon Ranch'') is a WiiWare title that was announced at Nintendo's fall 2007 conference. It is not considered a game, but rather an accessory for owners of Pokémon {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It was developed by [[Ambrella]] and could be purchased for 1,000 Wii Points until Wii Shop Channel has been shut down on January 31, 2019. {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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]]. She will ask what type of Pokémon she will bring to the ranch next.

The farm is owned by [[Hayley]], a friend of [[Bebe]]'s. Players can sort, take pictures, and interact with up to 1,000 of their Pokémon.

It is essentially a [[Generation IV]] version of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire|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.

On November 5, 2008, My Pokémon Ranch was issued an update with the ability to communicate to {{game|Platinum}} in Japan. According to an article in the now deleted [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag, there are no current plans to release this update outside of Japan. My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update. It is completely incompatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver.
