Least Favorite Spinoff?

Mmmm... Pokemon Ranger... Enough said??? I just can't... Play it...
 
Mmmm... Pokemon Ranger... Enough said??? I just can't... Play it...

Why??? Actually, Pokemon Ranger is a good spin-off series. It is very much alike the mainstream games, only different in quite a few aspects. It could prove to be very challenging once you get the chance to play it, of course. Shadows of Almia actually gave me a nice playing experience, with the diversity of partners and such. You really need to use your mind and logic to finish the game. And, completing the Ranger dex, IMO, is far fun that completing the Nat.Dex.
 
Pokemon Dash. I found it boring and a waste of my time to play. I also didn't like the fact that you could only play as Pikachu.
 
another vote for Trozei. don't know what they were thinking.
 
Of the spinoffs that I played, I would have to say that my least favorite is Pokemon Stadium and the other vanilla battle variants... I like games that are either engaging (Like Pokemon Puzzle League), or have a story to them and a large amount of areas to explore. Stadium really never fit that bill. I never played Coliseum because of that very reason as well.

Edit: Apparently in Coliseum, you actually walk around and there is some form of story, maybe I will give it a try eventually.

I honestly didn't like ANY of the pinball games...I just thought they didn't really fit in well with the pokemon universe..
I loved the Pinball games. Ruby/Sapphire is my favorite.

My least favorite out of the ones I've played was Pokemon Dash. Some of the races are way too complicated and the controls are awful.
 
Pokemon Dash; I like all the others. Personally, I even think Pokemon Ranch and Box were better than Dash.
Although I did like it when you could put a GBA game in the slot and it made courses based on the Pokemon in your team... :classic:
 
Trozei and Dash. I don't even know why I had those :/
 
I can't believe that no body has said this yet....

Hey You Pikachu!

That game was absolutely horrible. A friend had rented it when it was new, so we tried it out. We didn't play it for long, and were glad it was just a rental. I'm serious, I was never so glad to see a game go back.
 
Trozei is basically Bejeweled, people. So while the game ma not be gold, the idea is golden and liked by many.
Dash on the hand is a spin off worth an apology letter of Nintendo/Game Freak for making that game
 
Never mind. I just realized, the typing game is even worse. POKÉMON IS NOT A FRANCHISE TO BE RUINED BY TYPING GAMES, DEVELOPERS.
 
Bah, Pokemon Ranger was horrible! :(
 
My least favorite spin-off was Trozei as well. I felt that it had nothing to do with the main Pokémon series at all. It was basically just a puzzle game. Even though it was my first Pokémon DS game, I still didn't like it. My favorite spin-off, however, is the Mystery Dungeon series.
