What do you think are the best and worst pokemon spinoffs?

Well, to be honest, I’ve only played three of them – Mystery Dungeon Blue, Pokémon Ranger, and the old Gameboy Colour version of the trading card game.  Er… I guess I thought the best of those was Pokémon Ranger, and the worst was the TCG?  I enjoyed all of them, though.  Ranger had some interesting game mechanics that the main series could learn a lot from, and made good use of the partner Pokémon, while Mystery Dungeon is just an inherently fun concept (could have done a lot more work on their world building, though).  I only put the TCG at the bottom because the premise was a little nonsensical – I mean, it was a game that was actually about playing the card game, and you could travel around the country challenging these, like, trading card gyms, and there was a professor in your home town who studied the trading card game in this huge lab full of expensive machines, and…

…I gotta get me an emulator of that s#!t.
