The 5 Best Pokemon Spin-off Games

#1. Pokemon Mystery Dungeons: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team

Initial Release Date: 17 November 2005 (Japan)

Platform: Gameboy Advance (Red Rescue Team), Nintendo DS (Blue Rescue Team)

The best Pokemon spin-off game of all time goes to the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. The games were so well done and so popular that they will be getting a full remake for the Nintendo Switch later in 2020.

In the game, you answer a few questions before starting the game. Based on your answers, your "nature" will be determined and you will be assigned one of 16 starter Pokemon who you will play with for the rest of the game. You are a human who has transformed into a Pokemon who is teleported into a small Pokemon town.

In the Pokemon town, you can interact with other Pokemon, give gifts, get mail, complete missions, and much more. You also have to go through various dungeons to level up and find items and beat bosses. You can partner up with many other Pokemon who will help you in all these missions.

Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team are by far one of the most addictive Pokemon games made and they are better than a lot of the main series games too. The thoughtfulness, creativity, and higher difficulty of the games makes them the best Pokemon spin-off games of all time.
