pokemon has a crapload of spin-offs; whether they be highly popular like pokemon ranger and mystery dungeon, or concepts that weren't too popular, like dash. which do you think is the best, and why?
for me, it's hard to choose. i loved the pokemon mystery dungeon series; mainly because the stories are amazing, and being able to play as a pokemon is something that pretty much everyone who has played a pokemon game has wanted to have the opportunity to actually be a pokemon at some point. they're really creative, too, although they get repetitive really quickly.
but then my best friend gave me his wii when he upgraded to wii u, and it had pokemon snap on it. i played it and loved it. i'm too young to have played the nintendo 64 first-hand, and i've always been treated to good graphics (receiving my first game console, an xbox, for my 8th birthday in 2005), but i found this game extremely addicting. seeing all of the pokemon in the wild was great, it was super colourful, and the different ways to see the pokemon that actually made sense and could have you apply your game or show knowledge to have them pop out for you. the only real problem is the extremely short length, which really sucks... POKEMON SNAP 3D/U WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THIS GEN'S CONSOLES, NINTENDO. COME ON.
honourable mention goes out to pokemon pinball for being accessible and unique, yet addicting, despite my not having flipper fingers.
