What happened to the Pokemon Spinoffs?

A lot of them are products of their time (Ranger) or the short of lower budget games that have been cannibalised by the mobile market.

Another stadium, battle revolution, Colosseum or XD is highly unlikely now that the main series has made its on to the home console. I thought Ranger might have got a further release on the 3DS but its last title came on the DS and the series is centred around the use of the touchpad. Mystery Dungeon could be one that does see a Switch release its hard to say if it will happen.

The rest like Channel, Snap, PokePark, TCG seem like one offs that are unlikely to be repeated. Also they have Pokemon Go which is still raking it in so they are covered on the mobile side of things.

I agree that most seem superfluous now, considering we do have 3D battles in home consoles now, and the smaller ones are a better fit (or more precisely, a more profitable fit) in mobile. But there are the ones such as Snap, Mystery Dungeon, TCG and even story driven ones like Detective Pikachu that still are big enough to need a propper release. Those are the ones that worry me the most, considering we haven't had one of this in a while now.

Mystery Dungeon is the most likely candidate to come onto the Switch, but I'm unsure on the chances of this happening. Detective Pikachu 2 is already announced for the Switch. Snap and TCG haven't seen any attention since the N64 or GBC days so these are highly unlikely. Your best bet for Snap is for it to be included on a potential N64 mini. TCG I think have a mobile release.
