Hook your DS up to your Wii for some Pokéfun this Friday as My Pokémon Ranch hits WiiWare in Europe.

You may have travelled across the land, searching far and wide in an effort to complete your Pokédex in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl on the DS, but we bet your next mission would never have even crossed your mind. Put away the Rare Candies and start mucking out the Girafarig stables, you're the new owner of My Pokémon Ranch.

This new WiiWare treat is created by Ambrella, developers of the similar GameCube title Pokémon Channel, and features heavy use of DS-Wii linking. In My Pokémon Ranch you can upload your 'mon from Diamond and Pearl to fill a vast farm in which you can look after and take snapshots of your critters. You can invite friends to visit your ranch via WiiConnect24, too.

My Pokémon Ranch will be available to download on 4th July in Europe and Australia for 1000 Wii Points.
