they have tried a bunch of Pokemon games in different genres pokepark, pokemon snap, pokemon dungeon games and others and they all sucked...


Thats just not true, Pokemon Ranger Shadows of Almia is tied with Gold as the very best of the Pokemon games.

Besides new doesn't mean shite.

sales don't show that

That is unfortunately true, the sales dont accurately represent how good a series the 'Pokemon Ranger' games are. Although to be fair they haven't been terrible sales if you look at it, although nowhere near the main series games . Pokemon Ranger 2.08M(238 weeks without data on EMEAA), Shadows of Almia 2.2m(144 weeks)  and Guardian Signs 883K (42 weeks). Bearing in mind that each game had a roughly 30 week window from the Japanese release to the US/EU release.

But my point was that, sure, some of the Pokemon spin off games have been crap but some have also been good and that Nintendo shouldn't be phased off from trying to innovate with the series. Infact that is pretty much the beauty of spin off games, because they are never going to realitsicly reach the same amount of people as the main series developers can be experimental in design choices, which may then lead to them adding new features into the main series making it probably more fun.
