Was this the best non-mainline Pokemon game ever?

No.

No, that would be Pokemon Snap. Stadium 2 is the second best though.

Pinball RS is the perfect video game.

Colosseum was better, but Stadium 2 is easily the best in terms of predesigned teams. Replaying it now, it's cool to see just how in-depth the tactics were. All the gimmick strategies from back then are interesting to face. Although, Curselax is pretty much unstoppable despite all that.

Nah senpai

oh, I loved those games so much

>>25647503
Pokemon Snap is over rated. Its nice and unique but its mostly linear, even literally on rails at some points.

>>25648976
This is one of those examples I name when people claim the 3ds has games.
It doesn't have jackshit compared to DS

>>25647482
probably a mystery dungeon game ranger are cool too

>No based as fuck minigames

this one

>>25649562
I love you. It seems like everybody always forgets about Conquest. It's my favorite non-mainline pokémon game. Too bad we'll never see another.

>>25649562
>>25649643
right there with you anons. tactics games are goat, i wish there were more since it fits the pokemon battle style so well too.

>>25649562
Conquest was fun, the idea was pretty good

I really like Puzzle League

So was Shadows of Almia any good? I loved original Ranger, was my first DS game, but I gave up on Shadows of Almia like an hour in because I was STILL in a boring tutorial where I wasn't really doing anything

That said, any non GoI mystery dungeons, Conquest, or original Ranger are my responses

PMD Sky was the shit. Best Pokemon game overall in my opinion.

Poképark has buns

Is the second pokepark better than the first one? I never played it, but I really liked the first one. So much so that I 100%'d it.

Also this is my pick for the best spin off title.

>>25649846
Seconding this. Best characters, best music, best-basically-everything.
some bosses can be hard as fuck if you don't exp properly tho

>fucked over by RNG 4 times, 2 of which were in the final battle, didn't get it until the 5th try despite optimal play
Yeah this game isn't all it's cracked up to be, the RNG bias is crystal clear.

>>25649926
It's good at what it was attempting to accomplish, especially for the time. I still have fun with it every once in a while.

The speed of the battles is a downside but all in all it's a good game.

>Not the game with the objectively best music of all Pokemon games

tfw Oak's lab was a better pokebank than pokebank, and it even let you store and use items while using it.
