10 Best Pokémon Spin-Off Games You MUST Play

10. Pokémon Let’s GO!

Some people would argue that Pokémon Let’s GO! isn't a spin off at all, but instead a remake of Pokémon Yellow in the style of Pokémon FireRed remaking Pokémon Red. However, with the lack of wild battles, the candies and the implementation of various Pokémon GO features meant a lot of players consider it a spin off, so putting it at the bottom of the list seems like the fairest place for it.

Whether you pick up the Eevee or Pikachu version, both games follow the familiar Kanto storyline, with the addition of Red, Blue and Green in the mix.

Using the joy-cons to actually catch the Pokémon you encounter was a great feature that brought you closer to the true trainer experience. Dressing up Pikachu and Eevee gave it an added cutesy factor too.

Whether the Let’s GO! series will spawn sequels remains to be seen. It sold incredibly well, but it would be naive to discount Kanto’s nostalgic pull as a huge factor in sales figures.

However, Psychic gym leader Sabrina does remark that it’ll be three years before she meets another trainer as strong as you, which might be a nod to a Johto follow up.
