"The Pokemon series has been known for a variety of different spinoffs over the years, such as Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but one that many tend to forget is Pokemon Trozei, or Pokemon Link Battle in Europe. Releasing on the Nintendo DS as a puzzle game that utilized the touchscreen well, it seemed like a match made in heaven. However, the spinoff never received another game in the series, until now. After nearly eight years, Nintendo has revived the Trozei series with Pokemon Battle Trozei! for the Nintendo 3DS."

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."
