Just Bad: These 7 Pokemon Games Are A Shame
The Pokémon games are loved and downright revered. But over the years, some Pokémon-licensed games have also appeared that wouldn’t win a flowerpot from even the biggest fans of the brand. In this photo series, we present you with seven Pokémon games that are just terrible.
Not every game in the Pokémon series has been a success. We’ve looked at the worst and most disliked video games in Pokémon history. It’s not a ranking, just the fact that all the games in this article are bad, unimaginative, or even unenjoyable.
Are some of the games on this list even allowed to be called games? You have to decide for yourself which game is the worst for you.
Hey you, Pikachu! brings one of the most unnecessary peripherals ever: the Nintendo Microphone for N64. Professor Oak is your best friend and offers you to test his latest invention. You must convince a wild Pikachu to come and live with you. If only it were as entertaining as it sounds.
You must use your voice to guide Pikachu to complete tasks. But the yellow mascot never listens! The main attraction is also the biggest flaw of the game. If you are patient enough and beat the game, your only reward will be a lengthy cinematic of Pikachu returning to the wild. Just a waste of time!
In Pokemon dream radar use the 3DS Camera to destroy Dream Clouds so Pokemon can be caught. Even by Pokemon standards, this makes absolutely no sense. Even though it was an inexpensive game, that doesn’t excuse the absolute boredom and monotony it induces.
Pokemon Rumble Blast It’s not terrible, but it’s certainly not good either. It’s an action beat ’em up that features a simple combat design and controls. It’s so boring that it’s tiring to play. Although there are enough Pokémon to collect, there is far too little content overall.
May Pokemon Channel even be called a game? Your task in the game is to watch TV with Pikachu – and that’s it. Wow! There’s just nothing to do in this game, and shockingly, it was a very expensive game.
Fight, fight, fight and fight again. This is the vocation of Pokemon Battle Revolution. The game strips all other elements of Pokémon: neither catching, training, nor an adventurer features the game.
It really drains everything from Pokémon magic. But hey, at least there is an option to customize the trainer’s face.
Pokémon Dash is an attempt at a racing game in which the only driver you can choose is Pikachu. The theory doesn’t sound bad at all, but unfortunately the implementation is. The worst thing is that the Pokemon can only be controlled via the touch screen.
The bird’s-eye view also keeps the player wondering where the next checkpoint is at regular intervals. Why did the developer only put a bird’s eye view in a racing game? Why?!
My Pokemon Ranch It’s sold as a game, but it’s not really a game at all. Actually, it’s just a drop-off station for the pocket monsters. The only thing you can do is transfer your Pokemon from your handheld to the Wii to view them in terrifically rendered 3D and have them interact a little with your Mii.
Oh, and it’s only compatible with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. With the exception of Japan, where it also works with Pokémon Platinum. Otherwise the rest of the world will be left in the dark. The only purpose was to fill his Pokédex faster for the games mentioned. If you don’t own the editions mentioned, you only get one new Pokémon per day.
