whats the best pokemon spin off? just finally tried this game out like 30 years later and its suprisingly fun. just wish there was like twice as many courses and a full dex.

The plebeian says Mystery Dungeon

The patrician knows it's Rumble

Pokemon Stadium 1+2

I remember really wanting Pokemon Trozei as a kid.

Whatever the best spin off is, it's certainly not fucking Pokémon Dash

>>713154075 (OP)
Hey You, Pikachu. Not because it's any good, but because it tapped into the wish fulfillment of every kid at the time. More kids at my school had that than Stadium.

>>713155424
I don't believe you

>>713155592
It really isn't a good game.

>>713154075 (OP)
It's Pokemon Ranger and it's not even close.

>>713155669
I think he means he doesn't believe more kids at your school had HYP instead of Stadium. I can kind of believe that because Pikachu but also I've met WAY more people that played Stadium.

New Pokemon Snap is trash. It's longer than Pokemon Snap but only because New Pokemon Snap feels the need to keep having characters talk to you instead of letting you fucking take pictures of Pokemon.

Objectively speaking

Yeah, the multiplayer game that let you do 3D Pokemon battles versus the talking Pikachu game that required a microphone and was more expensive, and wasn't even released in that many markets, I don't buy it. Stadium was one of the top sellers on the 64.

>>713155424
I got this as a gift along with the pikachu themed n64 and it was my first gaming disappointment. the console was based however

I see you're a man of culture.
It really is a very soulful game.

I was the only kid I knew who had hey you pikachu. it was shit. almost all the fellow pokefans had stadium. desu I didnt like stadium either, pretty much just played it for mini games and mainline pokemon on the big screen.

OG pokemon snap is the most fun spin off for me.

>>713156329
Stadium with the transfer pak to play Red or Blue on your TV (with 2x and 3x speed) was worth the price alone

>ywn live through peak gen 1 pokemania again where the games/TCG/anime/movie were all little kid cultural phenomena

zoomtards and gen x fags can only wish they experienced this level of kino.

>>713156579
Only problem with it was being too short. Other than that, crazy amount of soul in this little game. And it hits the Pokemon Golden Era nostalgia note so well.

>>713156706
I feel bad for them

hey you pikachu is good BECAUSE pikachu barely listens to you
it's accidental ludo kino and it's fun to call him a faggot when he starts throwing tissues everywhere like the retard he is

>PMD Explorers of Sky
>PMD Rescue Team (most people would probably refer to the originals though the remakes aren't exactly bad, just different)
>Colosseum
>Gale of Darkness >XD (I would actually consider this the better game, but the aesthetics are a downgrade)
>The gameboy TCG games (sequel has an english fan translation)
imo in my opinion
However, if you want some more, you could also consider
>Conquest
>New Snap
>Stadium games
>Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
And if you want just casual good vibes living in the pokemon world then you could consider
>Channel
>Pokepark
I haven't played really played Rangers in 15+ years besides some aborted attempts to play Almia which I kept getting bored of since the tutorial kind of drags, so I can't judge them too much. I do however remember Guardian Signs being the best one. Out of the Rumble games, I've only played Blast and World, both of which I guess I did play for a while, but they're never something I actually think about. Also have never played the Detective Pikachu games. I did also have Hey You Pikachu as a kid but while it was comfy, I could never get that rat to do what I wanted.
AVOID ALL MOBILESHIT. I've tried basically all of them and the only one I liked was Duel which is dead.

>>713156329
>>713156656
You ain't wrong but there could have been a school out there with kids that love Pikachu enough to get a more and are also stupid enough to not want 3D Pokemon battles.

>>713155961
I know, I was just being difficult. My school was definitely an edge case, but everyone had that fucking game. "I wish I had a real Pikachu" was a powerful idea.

>>713154075 (OP)
monster mind

>>713156832
Oh fucking right I forgot Pokken
Well if the online isn't dead then I probably played like 90 hours between the Wii U and Switch versions. I'm not a fighting game fag so my opinion on it doesn't matter that much I guess but it was pretty fun and had a lot of character.

>>713156706
>smug ass parents kept gloating in our face about how pokemon is just a passing fad like pogs or cabbage patch kids and everyone will be over it in a year

fuck you mom and dad, you were dead fucking wrong.

Everyone sit the fuck down.

Trash is a bit harsh, but there's something missing without having to solve the course puzzles to unlock new routes, and the Rainbow Cloud had a touch of the same magic as Rainbow Road.
