Pokémon is not just about the main titles. Many spin-offs expand the franchise with new ideas, genres, and approaches. MeinMMO presents the 7 best of them.
How was this list created? The Pokémon series has not only countless main titles (after all, we are now in the ninth generation), trainers can also enjoy many spin-offs that provide a different view of the world of monsters.
This ranking is based on the author’s personal opinion and is subjective. If your favorite spin-off is missing or you disagree with the ranking, feel free to let us know in the comments.
In addition to the titles, we also provide you with the platforms and whether you can still purchase the games regularly.

7. Pokémon Stadium 2
- Platforms: Nintendo 64 (used market) and as part of the
Nintendo 64
-app on the Switch (playable only with theNintendo Switch Online plus expansion pack
subscription)
The Pokémon Stadium series on the N64 brought Pokémon battles from the Game Boys to the big screen for the first time. They still play quite well today, especially if you have a certain nostalgia for polygon graphics.
Unfortunately, there is little tactical depth, especially if you don’t have Pokémon from the old Game Boy
games to transfer. This only works on the Nintendo 64 with the Transfer Pak. However, for a fun evening with friends, you can also enjoy the mini-games of the game that are still entertaining today.
