Does anyone miss the Ranger games?

In case you don't know what I'm talking about, the Ranger games are a rather quirky set of spinoffs, all of them for the DS. They are especially notable for their core mechanic, where you draw loops around Pokemon to capture them. You also don't train or battle with them, but rather use them to help out the natural environment, such as through assisting you in captures, or clearing obstacles in the field.

Replaying some of the Ranger games not too long ago, I came to realise that a lot of them are actually quite good, if the first one is a little clunky, and I'm sad to see that they've been largely discontinued since 2010. They've left a long-lasting legacy on the main series, such as Guardian Signs introducing soaring and the Poke Ride mechanic (which was later used in ORAS and SM respectively), and are especially notable for bringing with it what is arguably the rarest shiny Pokemon that can be hunted: a legitimate shiny Manaphy. In particular, I have a very soft spot for Shadows of Almia, as I recall playing it when I was 10, and it introduced me to cross-generational evolutions of Generation IV Pokemon that I didn't know existed until Platinum, such as Electivire and Froslass.

To this day, even though it's a forlorn hope at this point, I hope that one day, the Ranger games are revisited, either as a new instalment, or a remake, especially considering the Rescue Team remake not too long ago. What do you guys think; do you miss the Ranger games, and do you hope for another Ranger game?
