Do you play the spinoffs?
Do you play the spinoff games, or just main series? If you play spinoffs, do you play all/most of them, or only a specific series (Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, etc)?
|
I love Mystery Dungeon, Ranger, and PokePark it's fun take on the Pokemon world. When I got older I was shocked to learn the spinoff games have a smaller following than the main games.
|
I played many of the spin-offs, and I don't think I disliked any either. My favorites were Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, but I've played through Pokemon Snap a few times. Mystery Dungeon is my favorite out of the entire series in terms of story.
|
I've played a good chunk of them. I wouldn't say a lot of them, but I played a few of the Mystery Dungeon ones, both Colosseu, and XD, and like all the spin off games for the first two generations. I feel like after Sky the spin-off games just tended to dwindle in general because I can't really think of a spectacular that has come out since then honestly.
|
I play Pokemon mystery dungeon eos (my No1 favourite game of all time)
|
mystery dungeon and the ranger series are the only spin-offs i've ever played. beautiful games! on par with (if not better than) the main games. more ranger games please
|
The spinoffs I have played, in no particular order:
- PMD Series - Pokemon Colosseum - Pokemon XD - Pokemon Battle Revolution - Pokemon Stadium - Hey You, Pikachu! ... I miss playing spinoffs. I feel like it's a shame TPC doesn't really make them as much as they used to? At least not anything... super notable maybe aside from Detective Pikachu. And that doesn't really seem like my thing. |
I tend to play the Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games quite often. I have the Detective Pikachu game as well, but I haven't played much of it yet.
|
I think I have played all of the spinoffs but the Ranger series. I could never get into those games for some reason.
Colosseum and XD are my all time favorites. |
I've played a good chunk of them. Let's see...
Colosseum - multiple, and to the point of doing a parody fic of it whoops XD - once, intend to replay PBR: Did wifi battles and the simplistic story mode Stadium/2: Minigames and some rental battles with friends Snap - bits at a friend's place Ranger 2 - beat it, I describe it as circles of friendship: the game Conquest: bits, was decent fun Pokemon Pinball (both): bits, good simple fun Puzzle League (sp): the one with GSC characters and music. Fun puzzle game! Rumble series: various. Beat the 3ds one (ftp btw :V) and also played the DS and Wii eShop ones. Not bad fun with friends! Less said about the Wii U one though... Ranch! Cute game to leave on the background and get silly pictures of Maybe a couple others...? |
Aside from the Stadium games, Snap, and a bit of 2 Mystery Dungeon games, I never really got into the spinoffs (unless you count mobile games like GO and Magikarp Jump). It's a bit of a shame really, as I liked the idea behind the Ranger series and Colosseum/XD, but just never found time to jump into any of the games.
|
I played Colosseum and XD, a few Mystery Dungeon ones (Blue team and Explorers of Sky, though I played the former more), Channel mostly because of the free Jirachi, and I'm gonna also name Smash (Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate) just because I first got Melee because there were Pokémon in it, but I don't consider it a spin-off series.
|
No, but I'm playing to play most of them this year. I'm mostly instered in PMD and Colosseum/XD.
|
I’ve played all the spin offs except Pokken Tournament which I plan to play someday. My first Pokémon game was Pokémon mystery dungeon so ofc I’d be a fan of spin offs!
|
I love playing Pokepark Wii (1) on my nephew's Wii, Pokepark 2 is meh
|
Yeah. I've played a lot of the spinoffs. Every one except Pokenn, the Stadium games, Pokepark 1, the Art Academy one & Pokemon Snap. There are more I'm sure, I just forget.
|
Ah yes, I also played Pokken. Even reviewed the Switch version for Daily. :>
|
I haven't played Spin-off, but i'll consider play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon one, since it is one of the best Pokemon Spin-off out there.
|
I've played a lot of Mystery Dungeon and Ranger, and a tiny bit of Pokemon Battle Revolution. A bit of Trading Card Game too.
|
I've played a lot of the spinoffs, but there are certain spinoff series I've never touched. I've never played the Ranger or Conquest games.
My favorite spinoffs include the PMD games, the TCG game (I've only played the original one, though I wouldn't mind finding a language patch for the second one and playing it at some point), the Stadium and Colosseum games, and Snap. |
I haven't played hardly any of the spin-offs since Mystery Dungeon Red. I loves me some Pokémon Snap, though!
|
Recently, I’ve only played Pokken and Let’s Go Pikachu, I did play the Colosseum and Gale of Darkness on the GameCube, Battle Revolution on the Wii and the Stadium series plus Pokemon Snap on the N64.
|
If I'm really thinking hard about it, I have played at least one iteration of every spin off game. I haven't played them all, but I've played on of the Ranger games, one of the mystery dungeon games, things like that. I've even played the really bad ones like Pokepark Wii and Pokemon Rumble U (Sorry if any of you guys really like those games xP They're just not my thing)
|
As of now, only PMD and Quest, and ONLY those 2. I was thinking of comming back to play Conq again to complete another one of the post-game stories (I believe I only completed 1 or 2) but maybe not for a few more years. Anything other franchise than those 3 I either disapprove, or totally lost interest.
|
To answer my own question: not as many as I wish I did! I've played TCG (GBC), Puzzle Challenge (GBC), Stadium 1 & 2 (N64), Snap (N64), Hey You, Pikachu! (N64), Mystery Dungeon Gates to Infinity (3DS), Conquest (DS), Rumble Blast (3DS). From mobile games, Shuffle, Quest, Magikarp Jump, and Duel (albeit briefly). That list is....actually bigger than I thought?? But still not as big as I wish lol. Really would've liked to try XD and Colosseum when they were still new. ;_;/ but not too late i suppose
|
Unless you count a brief playing of Pokemon GO back in 2016 when it was the big thing, I haven't played a single spin-off Pokemon game since Pokemon Stadium 2, so no, I don't.
|
I've played a good amount of them.
Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon colosseum/Gale of darkness, Pokemon Channel, Pokepark 2, Pokemon snap, Pokken and my favorite of them all...Battle Revolution. |
I can't really think of a spectacular that has come out since then honestly.
|
i've played a good chunk. my favorites are hands down colosseum and gale of darkness, and i would put pokemon trading card game as a close second. i grew up on stadium 2, that kind of served as my gen II at the time gen II was the latest bc i didn't get to play GSC until like 2004. loved me some pokemon snap in the day too, and i really liked puzzle league even though lmfao you could put anything over that game to make it themed to whatever you want. barely had anything to do with pokemon as i recall.
i like pmd a lot too but i'm bitter bc i had it goin on in pmd blue and lost my copy. so i've never been able to really dive into a pmd game like that again bc it made me so upset to lose all that hard work okay like i was an UMBREON named kitsune and i had a blaziken named abigail for my partner. i think i had recruited all the legendary birds and i was working on getting lugia or smth but anyway i digress lol. i enjoyed explorers of darkness and sky as well, but again, i could just never dive in like i did w blue bc i'm. a bitter bitch. also i had ranger but i fucking hated it and i heard the later ranger games were better than the first, but i didn't trust it so lol. i only really wanted ranger for that manaphy egg anyway i am not gonna lie. oh and battle revolution was atrocious. if pokemon go counts, i'm a bit of an on and off player. i got super back into it last year when the alolan forms got released, but then i stopped playing when it got cold. i'll probably hop back in soon bc it's warming up again. other than those though, i don't have much experience w the other spin off games. never got into trozei, shuffle, or rumble. didn't play the pokepark games, though i heard 2 was pretty good? conquest seemed to complicated for me bc i'm a dumb bitch. hey you pikachu is something i never wanted to play bc when i was a kid, i hated pikachu and wanted a hey you eevee instead (little did that child know!!! they would get their wish kinda in LGPE lol) and then uhhh everything else is too irrelevant for me to bring up i guess. tldr i'm apparently very bitter now that i've typed all of this out lol |
Never played one.
Conquest looks interesting, because I am into games like Xcom 2. |
I do enjoy playing PMD series as currently I play Gates to infinity right now and still not yet finish and Conquest is bit ok game and I dont really see much to eye with pokemon being a tactical side game
|
I have played Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia and Guardian Signs,along with PMD Red Rescue Team,Explorers of Sky and Pokemon Conquest.They have a better story than the main games,and gives us a different perspective of pokemon world.
|
I played some of them, i stopped playing after gen V then i got bored of playing spin off games.
The only one that catch my attention recently was Let's go, but i don't own a switch. |
I've played both Stadiums, Pinball, Snap and recently Pokken Tournament.
I should probably carry on my playthrough of Stadium 1, i'm onto the R2 battles.. |
Yes. I like the spinoff games. Sadly, I have not yet played any of the Ranger titles. Wish I have. They're pretty good.
|
I've played a good amount of them.
|
God, I think I've played the majority of them. Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2, Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Puzzle League, Pokémon Pinball, Pokémon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Colosseum and XD (they're particularly fantastic), Pokémon Art Academy, Pokken Tournament, Pokémon Ranger 1, 2, and 3, Pokémon Conquest, Pokémon Battle Revolution, Pokémon GO... I like them all.
|
I used to play Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia (best spinoff imo) a lot, besides that Pokémon mystery dungeon gates to infinity, Pokémon GO, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Pokémon Tower Defense.
