With the future Pokemon games looking like they'll never call themselves home on the 3DS again, I think it's time to look back at all the Pokemon games that came out during the 3DS's lifespan. In this time we've received numeorus main series games along with a handful of spin-offs I'll list them here:
Main Series:
Pokemon X and Y
Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire
Pokemon Sun and Mon
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
Spinoff:
Pokemon Rumble Blast
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
Pokemon Art Academy
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
Detective Pikachu
Nintendo eShop:
Pokedex 3D
Pokemon Dream Radar
Pokemon Bank
Poke Transporter
Pokemon Battle Trozei
Pokemon Shuffle
Pokemon Rumble World
Pokemon Picross
Overall, I think for the main series of games. we were mainly stuck in limbo. Pokemon X and Y didn't have all the content people both in and out of the company initially wanted which left it feeling more like a proof of concept. ORAS, while being solid remakes, has people who prefer Pokemon Emerald for various reasons. Pokemon Sun and Moon felt like it really needed and enhanced 3rd version that never game as it felt that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was made to have some sort of income that year as they worked on stuff for the switch. For the spinoffs, there are really only two big notable ones in my opinon. Detective Pikachu due to how it's becoming a movie I'm excited for and Pokemon Super Mystery dungeon for helping to bring the games back to what people remember them for. Overall, I hope Pokemon on the switch fares better and doesn't have the main series games mostly feel like unfinished products they had to release.
What are you guys's thoughts?
