Yeah, I remember using my Poké Blue pokémon. But still, you needed the little thing you attached to the controler if I remember correctly. The game by itself is nothing great. All you could do is battle, it got old so fast.

As for snap being limited, I understand today as an adult how short it was. But at the time, before the internet and when we were kids (atleast I was at the time), the game felt like it was filled with secret. I remember talking to my friends about secrets that felt like myths at the time untill you tried it. Like how you could take pictures of Charizard, Gyarados and Dragonite. So Snap had a sense of adventure and mystery to it, wich was totaly absent from Stadium since stadium was basicaly a combat simulator. 

I don't understand how battling got old, but sitting on an onrails kart taking pictures of the same few Pokemon doing the same thing over and over didn't. I thought the game was terrible as a kid. You can take a picture of Charizard, Gyarados, and Dragonite in stadium. With a real camera. With more Pokemon.

Again, I don't see the adventure. You're effectively being taken on a cheap, slow-moving Chucky Cheese animatronic roller coaster. There's no adventure or freedom in that. Snap feels like a reject mini-game for a mainline Pokemon game, not a decent independant spin off game of its own merits. Even the Safari Zone in Gen 1 was more enjoyable than Snap, and they are largely based off the same concept.



Around the Network

If I had to go for a top 3:
1. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon no doubt
2. Pokemon ranger. It was very fun and was a novel idea. They should really bring it back!
3. Pokemon Conquest was a nice change of pace. It deserves a sequel as well.
Honorable Mentions: Pokemon Dash was surprisingly fun for my 7 year old brain. Also it was one of the very first Pokemon games I owned along side Mystery Dungeon and Diamond!



Pokemon Stadium and Snap are the only ones that I've really liked.



Both Stadium on the 64. Why aren't those on VC?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Well really that's a good thing.

It means you have plenty of awesome games just waiting for you to play them

I do have many awesome games to play, though old Pokemon spin-offs aren't one of them. :L

They only just released the gen 1 games, but they probably wont ever bother since you can transer your gen1 Pokemon to the new games and battle in 3D that way.



Mystery Dungeon Overall, but Ranger was quite fun

Pokemon Picross though...

Pokemon Stadium/Stadium 2 and Pokemon Snap are great.



Spinoff series would be Mystery Dungeon

Single game would be between TCG or Snap. Both are great!
