POKEMON RANGER 2 QUESTS
In Almia, there are 60 side quests outside of the typical missions that must be completed to progress through the main story. These all come with their rewards of a new powerup for your Styler or Partner Pokemon to use, and they add a lot to the game experience. A lot of these are simple tasks like capturing and returning with a certain Pokemon or saving a Pokemon from danger. Many others involve using field moves to clear a path or clean the area. Not all of them are available at once, and some only appear after the game is beaten.
