That nine years has passed belies the addictive nature and endearing design of this somewhat fiendish puzzler, the gameplay having only seen minor tweaks in comparison to how it was, with players dragging and dropping Pokémon-faced pieces to match three or more. Doing so will create an attack that can damage a wild Pokémon leering at you on the top screen, soon allowing for its capture. The more combos that you can make, the more damage you do to the Pokémon. It’s that simple, really.
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."
