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.

ZeoStar February 2nd, 2019 6:17 PM

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.

alisaie February 2nd, 2019 7:46 PM

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)

Percy February 3rd, 2019 12:47 AM

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.

Fritz February 3rd, 2019 4:17 AM

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.

mikey February 3rd, 2019 4:45 PM

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.

bobandbill February 4th, 2019 1:56 PM

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...?

Brendino February 8th, 2019 12:31 AM

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.

lilaë21 February 8th, 2019 12:48 AM

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.

Bahamut February 8th, 2019 1:08 AM

No, but I'm playing to play most of them this year. I'm mostly instered in PMD and Colosseum/XD.

Noblejanobii February 8th, 2019 7:05 AM

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!

BH February 8th, 2019 8:06 AM

I love playing Pokepark Wii (1) on my nephew's Wii, Pokepark 2 is meh

Palamon February 9th, 2019 1:29 PM

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.

bobandbill February 10th, 2019 6:34 AM

Ah yes, I also played Pokken. Even reviewed the Switch version for Daily. :>

hotsushi-kun February 18th, 2019 9:25 AM

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.

Princess Diana March 3rd, 2019 1:52 PM

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.

Imperator161 March 3rd, 2019 2:58 PM

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.

icycatelf March 4th, 2019 6:55 PM

I haven't played hardly any of the spin-offs since Mystery Dungeon Red. I loves me some Pokémon Snap, though!

Hypno March 5th, 2019 8:14 PM

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.

StormInAJar March 5th, 2019 9:57 PM

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)

PageEmp March 5th, 2019 11:50 PM

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.

Sheep March 21st, 2019 5:28 PM

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
