Dakota Lasky: "While Pokemon spin-offs are known to flourish on both consoles and portable systems, like Pokemon Snap or the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, Pokemon Battle Trozei may only satisfy a select group of players. However, it pulls off a number of new ideas and pulls them off well. The campaign re-haul proved irreplaceable and, at its cheap eShop price, Battle Trozei is without a doubt a certain purchase for fans of the original and at least a try by new players. You’ll find at its roots a streamlined puzzle experience well worth its cost that may suck you in before you even know it."
Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The games featured on today's list are both great and have also helped establish the Pokémon franchise that we love today. Without wasting any more time, here are the top 10 best Pokémon spin-off titles."
There is something about a good puzzle game. They tend to be one of the most welcoming genres, with easy to understand concepts, difficulty that can grow with players and matches that may be brief or even endless. Well crafted ones are accessible, which is great. When it comes to Nintendo, some of the puzzle games it has created and published go a step further. While not all of their games accommodate people who might be colorblind, quite a few do.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Pokemon Shuffle is a thing. It isn’t a bad thing, in the world of exploitative, free-to-play puzzle games, but isn’t the best thing either. Rather, it’s a title that occupies a rather tenuous position. Compelling mechanics and collectible critters abound, but are caught up in framework that inhibits gameplay and capriciously doles out wins and new characters."
