Pokemon has had a ton of games over its lifespan, from the internationally beloved mainline games to one-time spinoffs, to spinoffs that started their own series. Both mainline games, as well as some spinoffs, have a🤡lso been ported to or remade for newer platforms.
But not every mainline Pokemon game or Pokemon spinoff game gets the chance to be ported to newer platforms or be remade specifically for them, which leaves them stranded on their debut platform once it's considered outdated and if the new platform lacks backward compatibility, making them much less accessible to interested fans as a result.
10 ꦉ Hey You, Pikachu! 🌟
An infamous 1998 Nintendo 64 virtual pet simulation game, Hey You, Pikachu! was notable for having Pikachu respond to your voice, or at least it was supposed to. Unfortunately, the Nintendo 64 Voice Recognition Unit, the microphone that came packed in with the game, didn't work very well, even if Pikachu was supposed to understand around 200 different words.
The gameplay of Hey You, Pikachu! doesn't only involve talking to Pikachu but also has you exploring, fishing, cooking, and completing various tasks with Pikachu to help the wild Pokemon that appear in the game.
9 ▨ Pokemon Card GB2: Here Comes𒁃 Team GR!
The Japan-exclusive 2001 sequel to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game for Game Boy Color, Pokemon Card GB 2, has never been remade or ported even in Japan. In addition to including all cards featured in its predecessor, Pokemon Card GB2 included cards from the Team Rocket expansion, the Expansion Sheet series, and the Intro Pack, the latter two consisting of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:many Japan-exclusive cards.
Like Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Card GB2 allows you to play as a preset boy or girl character, known as Mark and Mint, respectively, as you take on Team Great Rocket to save the Club Masters that they've kidnapped and reclaim TCG island.
8 Pokemon Colosseum⛄ ꦉ
Pokemon Colosseum launched for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003, and because it launched after the third-generation Pokemon games Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Version, most trainer battles featured in the game are doubl🌞e battles, but single battles are still included.
Pokemon Colosseum opens with the protagonist blowing up the headquarters of the evil team he once worked for, Team Snag'Em, showing you from the start that Colosseum is different from your usual Pokemon game. Colosseum also introduces the concept of Shadow Pokemon, Pokemon who have artificially had their emotions removed and can only use shadow attacks as a result, alongside other limitations.
7 Pokemo🐻n Dash
A 2004 racing game and the first Pokemon game to launch on the Nintendo DS, Pokemon Dash doesn't feature Pokemon racing in driven vehicles like their contemporaries but has the Pokemon competitors race each other primarily on foot. It also marked the first game appearance of the fourth-generation Pokemon Munchlax, nearly two years before its debut in the mainline series.
Controlled by using the Nintendo DS stylus and touchscreen, Pokemon Dash has several single-player modes, b💃ut for some reason, only Pikachu is playable. In the multiplayer mode, all the Pokemon that serve as opponents in the single-player modes are playable, in addition to Pikachu.
6 ꦕ Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness
Though it's the sequel to Pokemon Colosseum, knowledge of the first game is not required to play Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, but it does help provide some extra context. Pokemon XD features a new main character, several quality-of-life improvements, and adds in-game trades, a move relearner, and wild Pokemon, but they're found by using bait in Poke Spots rather than encountered all around the region.
Pokemon XD was the last Pokemon game to launch on the GameCube and the last one set in the Orre region like its predecessor. Although the developer Genius Sonority made a 3D Pokemon game for the Nintendo Wii featuring similar gameplay, it's unrelated to Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD.
5 Pokemon Troze💧i!
The 2005 Nintendo DS puzzle game Pokem𓂃on Trozei! was the first in the Pokemon Trozei series and has you switching around blocks with different Pokemon faces to match four of them horizontally or vertically, so t🍬hey disappear, and so you gain points.
Although Pokemon Trozei! is a puzzle game, it does still have a Story Mode that follows a character named Lucy Fleetfoot as she goes on a quest to defeat the Phobos Battalion and recover the Pokemon they stole. In addition to the Story Mode, Pokemon Trozei! has an Endless Mode, a Forever Mode, a two-player battle mode, and a two-player co-op Pair ꩵMode.
4 Pokemon Battle Revolution♈
A 2006 Pokemon battle simulation game developed by Genius Sonority for the Nintendo Wii, Pokemon Battle Revolution was the 3D game for the fourth Pokemon generation, with mo𝐆re similarities to the Pokemon Stadium series than Pokemon Colosseuღm or XD.
Similar to the Stadium games, Battle Revolution allows you to rent Pokemon or use Pokemon from your fourth-generation Nintendo DS Pokemon games to take on the colosseums in Poketopia. Battle Revolution also features 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:customizable player characters who caꦿn wear any of the clothing items provided by the game, hav꧂ing trainer customization a full seven years before Pokemon X and Y.
3 Pokemon Coꦯn♓quest
A 2012 Nintendo DS crossover with Koei Tecmo's Nobunaga's Ambition strategy game series, Pokemon Conquest is set in the Ransei region, a region based on feudal Japan separated into 17 kingdoms, representing each of the 17 Pokemon types that existed at the time.
Due to being a crossover, Pokemon Conquest combines several gameplay aspects of each series, including the movement mechanics of Nobunaga's Ambition and the type weakness mechanic from the mainline Pokemon series. The game is also DSi enhanced and had several DLC stories and events that are no longer playable, as they were only available for a short time.
2 🦩 🦄 Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
A 2015 Nintendo 3DS entry in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series and the final game in the series to debut on the console, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon once again has you turning into a young Pokemon, with which one you turn into depending on your answers to the questions you're asked at the beginning. If you don't want to, you can also choose a Pokemon.
Super Mystery Dungeon features several changes and i♊mprovements from its predecessors, such as including all 720 Pokemon that existed at the time, Mega Evolution, team attacks called Alliances, Pokemon joining your team after completing mission requests, and the Looplet and Emera power-up items.
1 ♛ Pokemon Sun And Moon
The first set of seventh-generation mainline Pokemon games, the second and final Pokemon generation to debut on the Nintendo 3DS, and the first mainline Pokemon games to launch after the immense success of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Go in 2016, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Sun and Moon take place in the tropical Alola region.
