Everyone praises Mystery Dungeon and the GameCube games, but what are some spin-offs you wish more people talked about? c:

For me it's Pokemon Picross! It's such a simple game but I think it's really charming! I used to play it all the time on my bus commute to university, or between classes lol

Pokemon Picross was my introduction to the genre, and I fucking loved it. I played that game religiously when it dropped as a kid, and played it like every day. I just hated how money hungry it was, like their other free 3DS games (Shuffle, Rumble World). Basically any free Pokemon 3DS game was peak in terms of gameplay, but dogshit in terms of monetization.

I still really want a Pokepark, Rangers, or Conquest game 😭

In terms of good mobile games, I didn't appreciate Duel enough before they scrapped it. It was fun and the strategies seemed like they could be super interesting. Plus it has a banger menu theme.

I totally forgot about Pokemon Shuffle! I remember being really into it for a while, but then hit a wall and it seemed like the only way forwards was to pay so I dropped it. I actually bought the full game for Pokemon Picross because I liked it so much lol

My sister was a Shuffle crackhead and did the daily challenges and got super far into the game while I gave up by like world 3 lol. Some of those stages were fucking ridiculous from what I saw, but she never gave up lol. It was super cute though, and I loved the mega gimmick.
