Buying criteria
There are a lot of different Pokémon games on the market, from video games to physical games and here in our buying criteria section we will help you choose the right one. How? By giving you factors to consider before choosing your next product.
Age of the gamer
One of the first elements to consider when buying Pokémon games is who they are aimed at. While this is a family-friendly franchise, some games can be complicated for children and others very easy and simple for adults.
Children. Children between the ages of 3 and 11 can enjoy Pokémon games, whether it’s video games like Let’s Go Pikachu! Or “Guess what Pokémon”. However, we recommend that they do not use collectible cards or multiplayer options (such as Pokémon GO) because of their difficulty and atmosphere.
Teenagers. The best stage to play all Pokémon games is the teenage years. You can use your Nintendo Switch, your 3DS, your smartphone or play with collectible cards. However, this user prefers interactive and technological games more than board games.
Adults. The nostalgic gamer, despite being an adult there is something magical about playing Pokémon. It’s like going back to our childhood, and even more so if you’re a die-hard fan. You’ll enjoy everything from video games to cards, anything Pokémon collectible will make them happy.
Platform
Realising this is vital, but if you’re an adult who’s going to buy something for your kids and have no idea how to go about it this will help. You see not all video games can be played on the same console, in other words, you need to buy Pokémon games for the right platform.
Nintendo Switch. Switch is the console of the moment for Nintendo and recent Pokémon games are coming out for it. You can check that the product has an indicator at the top that says “Switch”. They are the most expensive games, but the experience is unparalleled and you won’t regret it.
Nintendo 3DS. Following the success of the DS console, the 3DS came out with “3D” graphics that allowed us to experience Pokémon games in a different way. They are still making games for this console and will be for some time to come. Remember to check the packaging for the “3DS” sign.
Android or iOS. We never thought we’d see Pokémon outside of Nintendo, but smartphone games became so popular that The Pokémon Company saw an opportunity to expand. These games you download from the Store on your phone, you can find titles like Pokémon GO.
Physical or board games. Pokémon games are not just about video games, you can also find collectible trading cards (a lifelong fan favourite), Pokémon edition Monopoly, building block games and more, ideal if you like to collect or are a lover of the classics.
Pokémon collectibles and generations
These may seem like two insignificant factors, but the geek knows that they are just as important as the others. It’s not the same to have just any Pokémon game as it is to have that special edition or the one with the Pokémon I like.
Collectibles. Video games like Pokémon Yellow, Emerald or collector’s editions are the crème de la crème when it comes to Pokémon games. We can’t forget the cards that are collected by thousands of people around the world and are becoming more and more valuable. Therefore, buying these products is a relevant aspect.
Pokémon Generations. We lost track of how many generations of Pokémon there are, but this is very important when buying Pokémon games Because maybe you buy a product looking for a particular creature and it’s not there because it doesn’t belong to that generation. Some prefer older generations, some prefer newer ones, it’s up to you.
