[@Bri-gq3lx]

So fun fact, you earn the pokemon's friendship as a way of "catching them", and when selected during a battle they have unique abilities that power the loops! However if a pokemon uses their ability too much it will "break" the loops and "faint" the pokemon you "caught". It's been a while so I can't remember if your mons fainting means they run away or not, but my saving grace at the end (because you have to circle all three legendary dogs in the version I played, which are all running around and using abilities at the same time) was an ability that each loop counted down by 2 loops instead of one. It's pretty unique, and definitely not for everyone, but I found it fun!

For Pokemon Ranger, the second game (this one) made the massive improvement that you don't have to draw all the circles in one go, but instead have the circles do "damage". That makes the system way more interesting even though it is fundamentally still just drawing circles. As for my favorite spin-offs, Mystery Dungeon for sure. The first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon was the first game with an emotional story i ever played, and all of them, but especially Explorers, have the best stories in the franchise imo.

[@dragongaming2796]

I recently rebought conquest (I had it years and years ago after finding it in a GameStop but lost it- finally got the money to rebuy it) and I am loving it. I absolutely love the game I find it so cool it has just a touch more strategy than the main line and while the story isn’t the best imo the whole combat system and concept is A+ That being said the ranger series is also an A+ game series and I’ve played through guardian signs 3+ times now, gotten about halfway through the first, and started the second on an emulator before deciding I would just wait to get a card copy. And finally my favorite side series game is either Pokken tournament DX on the switch (I love the battle mechanics and I wish I had the money to buy the full version right now) or is Pokémon Picross on the 3DS, which I mainly like because... I just love puzzles. Ofc conquest and ranger is up there too- I tolerate the mystery dungeon series but I’m not a HUGE fan of them.

For me my favorite non-main series is either ranger or mystery dungeon. Specifically Shadows of Almia for Rangers and Explorers for Mystery dungeon

I guess I have to track copies of these down
