You are very mistaken! Sega released three games from the saga on its educational console Pico, including an educational title to learn Hiragana and Katakana, another mini-games title (Pico for Everyone Pok\u00e9mon Loud Battle!), and finally, the one that concerns us. Catch The Numbers! was never released outside Japan and was based on the anime: <strong>Team Rocket has stolen all the Pok\u00e9mon from Ash, Misty, and Brock except Pikachu and Togepi<\/strong>, and the player must solve various math problems to recover them. Just what you wanted when playing Pok\u00e9mon: a square root!<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magikarp Jump<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u00a1Salta hasta la estratosfera con Pok\u00e9mon: Magikarp Jump!\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/29FPWka69dg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the arrival of mobile phones and apps, <strong>Nintendo was not quite sure what to do with one of its flagship franchises<\/strong>. Thus, after the unexpected success of Pok\u00e9mon Go, it tried to replicate that with Magikarp Jump, which had notably less appeal. In the game, players had to train Magikarp to compete in various jumping contests, improving its height by training it and making it eat berries. In the end, it did not evolve into Gyarados and, honestly, no one cared too much about this strange spin-off. What can we do.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pok\u00e9mon Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u00a1A cepillarse los dientes con los Pok\u00e9mon de Pok\u00e9mon Smile!\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SXCLNFu8hxk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half game, half app for kids to brush their teeth, Pok\u00e9mon Smile had a relative success when it was released in the middle of the pandemic, in June 2020. <strong>Using augmented reality, children (and not so children) can brush their teeth in front of the camera<\/strong> and start defeating the bacteria that kept the captured Pok\u00e9mon in their teeth. By rescuing it, the player has the option to catch it and level it up. For what? Who knows, because there are no tooth brushing battles or anything like that. It was so popular that they ended up releasing another spin-off to learn self-care, Pok\u00e9mon Sleep. Let&#8217;s see when we get a Pok\u00e9mon Pay My Taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9 ReMix<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon Cafe ReMix - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aNXZnOcPIhE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there are cat caf\u00e9s, why shouldn&#8217;t there be Pok\u00e9mon caf\u00e9s? In this case, you will have <strong>a caf\u00e9 that you have set up alongside Eevee, where Pok\u00e9mon come in to ask for their daily meal<\/strong>. Your job will be to prepare it for them, but more in a puzzle style than in Overcooked, fortunately. Little by little, you will be able to get more creatures and even level them up, potentially having true legendary customers. Very cute, very cozy&#8230; And it continues to receive updates to this day. A poke-caffeinated, please?<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Thieves and the 1000 Pok\u00e9mon<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-dailymotion wp-block-embed-dailymotion wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Band of Thieves &amp; 1000 Pok\u00e9mon tr\u00e1iler\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"840\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player.html?video=x3n3f9v&#038;\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably even the biggest Pok\u00e9mon fans raised an eyebrow thinking &#8220;What the hell is this?&#8221;. However, it is something that existed for Nintendo 3DS, which <strong>Japanese users could download for free and served as advertising for the seventeenth movie<\/strong> in the saga. The game consisted of simply choosing a stage to play, selecting the Pok\u00e9mon that would play it, and putting them through a few mini-games where, normally, you would lose one or several of your creatures. It had 16 levels and 4 additional extras, because here, for being free and simple, nothing is done halfway. You either get them all or none at all, come on.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Mario Kart World started and Donkey Kong Bananza smoothed out, Pokopia is taking advantage of: just when we thought Switch 2 was going to enter a dangerous valley without games before the inevitable Mario or Zelda, Pok\u00e9mon has shown that it can revitalize anything: What was missing from Animal Crossing?
