There are plenty of video game franchises that have exploded in popularity since their debuts, but no one could have anticipated just how much of a phenomenon the Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/em> series would become. The adorable franchise has been a juggernaut for decades, whether it\u2019s the video games, anime series<\/a>, or trading card game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been interesting to evaluate how the mainline<\/a> Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> titles have changed over the years, but there have also been a number of spin-offs that have experimented with the formula and tried new things. The Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise is still trying to see what can be done with spin-off series, but there are still some fascinating entries from the past.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Pinball (1999)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Of all of the spin-off and offshoot projects to strike the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> franchise, it\u2019s a little surprising that pinball would be the first big experiment in the area. A lot of pinball titles can be soulless cash grabs, but this Game Boy Color<\/a> game actually cleverly incorporates the Pok\u00e9mon catching aspects into the structure of pinball and it\u2019s actually fun, even for those that aren\u2019t major pinball fans.<\/p>\n

The title also just looks incredible and makes use of the highly rare Game Boy Color rumble pack, which deserves attention in and of itself.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Snap (1999)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/a><\/em> is still fondly looked at as one of the most enjoyable Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> spin-off games that it\u2019s hard to believe that it was one of the first titles out of the gates. Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/em> cleverly takes the mechanics of an on-rails shooter, but turns it into a relaxing photography game that celebrates the beauty of the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> species.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/em> isn\u2019t overly long, but it\u2019s infectious fun. Fans\u2019 wishes for a sequel have also finally been answered with the upcoming Switch title, New Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/em>.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Stadium (2000)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Stadium<\/em> for the Nintendo 64<\/a> was a big deal in a lot of ways because it actually allowed players to transfer over their Pok\u00e9mon from the Game Boy games and fight with them in the N64 title. Pok\u00e9mon Stadium<\/em> proved that focusing purely on the fighting aspect of the series can work, while it also features a bunch of entertaining extra features. The game was such a success that Pok\u00e9mon Stadium 2<\/em> came out the following year and it\u2019s safe to say there wouldn\u2019t be games like Pokken Tournament <\/em>without Pok\u00e9mon Stadium.<\/em><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game (2000)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It can be amusing to see just how indulgent a series can become and the idea of a video game version of a trading card game that\u2019s based on a video game series seems pretty ridiculous. However, the Game Boy Color\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game<\/em> is more a testament to just how popular the card game<\/a> would become. There\u2019s actually a creative RPG hidden away in here that\u2019s a fun twist on the standard Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> formula. Plus, it\u2019s hard to deny the appeal of the exclusive official card that would come included with the game.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle League (2000)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nintendo has a bunch of puzzle franchises<\/a> like Panel de Pon <\/em>and Tetris Attack <\/em>that were huge in Japan, but weren\u2019t tested properties in America. A curious solution to this was to give certain puzzle games a Pok\u00e9mon makeover and capitalize on the success of that franchise. Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle League<\/em> is the Nintendo 64 version of this, which is an entertaining puzzle title that pays service to the anime series. Released at the same time was Pok\u00e9mon Puzzle Challenge<\/em> for the Game Boy Color, which focused on Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> Gold and Silver <\/em>more than the anime.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Hey You, Pikachu! (2000)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sometimes a video game can come across as more of a tech demo than a full experience and this is largely the case with the Nintendo 64\u2019s Hey You, Pikachu! <\/em>The game revolves around the use of the N64 microphone, a peripheral that would barely get any use. The creative simulation game has good intentions with its efforts to raise the popular Pok\u00e9mon, Pikachu<\/a>, but the gameplay is thin and the microphone isn\u2019t as intuitive as it should be. Hey You, Pikachu! <\/em>still remains a very unique relic.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire (2003)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Game Boy Color version of Pok\u00e9mon Pinball<\/em> was such a success that Nintendo would return to the premise several years later. The original Pok\u00e9mon Pinball<\/em> pushes the limits of the Game Boy Color, but this follow-up is easily the better and deeper title. There\u2019s not only a larger and more satisfying Pok\u00e9dex<\/a> to pull from, but the capabilities of the Game Boy Advance allow the game a lot more room to experiment. This is unfortunately the last title in the Pok\u00e9mon Pinball<\/em> series, but it\u2019d be a natural fit for the Switch.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Colosseum (2004)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Gamecube<\/a> is a console that Nintendo wasn\u2019t afraid to do some Pok\u00e9mon experimentation with and while there are some more outrageous spin-offs available, Pok\u00e9mon Colosseum<\/em> takes a more tried and tested approach. The Gamecube game is basically an update to the Pok\u00e9mon Stadium<\/em> formula, but now has a considerably larger Pok\u00e9dex and game engine at its disposal. It\u2019s a spin-off that caters to combat, but is a fuller game than Pok\u00e9mon Stadium<\/em>. A lot of concepts from Colosseum\u2019s <\/em>universe return in other Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> titles and fans were surprised a sequel never came to pass.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Dash (2005)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Dash<\/em> is an unusual title that came out for the Nintendo DS<\/a>, but was easy to overlook. It takes the adorable creatures from Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> and throws them into a racing game that sees Pikachu and other characters running through nature to reach the finish line. As far as a Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> racing game can go, Pok\u00e9mon Dash<\/em> isn\u2019t terrible and its presentation goes a long ways. This is the type of title that\u2019s easy to dismiss like a mobile game, but had Pok\u00e9mon Dash<\/em> connected with more people there could have been a full Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> racing franchise in swing now.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale Of Darkness<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Up until when the Switch<\/a> celebrated the latest mainline Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> title, fans have been hungry to get a proper Pok\u00e9mon adventure game on non-handheld console. For the longest time, the Gamecube\u2019s Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale of Darkness<\/em> was the closest thing available. The RPG takes many of the concepts from Pok\u00e9mon Colosseum<\/em>, but expands on them with a compelling story. There are no random encounters in the game and there are different ideologies in place with catching Pok\u00e9mon, but there are a lot of worthwhile ideas present in this darker Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> game.<\/p>\n
