Everyone's Pokemon Ranch details, plus screens

Nintendo has gone mad with Pokemon today. Not content with confirming the US release date for a bunch of new DS titles, it's also launched the website for WiiWare Pokemon game, Everyone's Pokemon Ranch.

Initially revealed last October under the name Pokemon Farm, the game is essentially a storage system where you can upload the evil demons from games Diamond and Pearl to a farmland far removed from malleable minds.

Daily life on the farm is full of activities like gathering around a campfire and taking photos of your Mii with your imprisoned beast.

You can even save these photos to an SD card, send them to the Wii Message Board for Photo Channel editing or even send them to friends.

And for those who have made it their lifetime's work to track down these descendants of the devil, you can keep up to a thousand creatures at any time.

As with all WiiWare titles, there's no release date for Everyone's Pokemon Ranch yet. We presume it will be one of the first out of the door, given it's already been confirmed and that it's part of the unstoppable Pokemon franchise.
