8. Pokémon Smile

If you're a Pokémon fan with small children, Pokémon Smile is a great game to incentivize brushing teeth thoroughly.

7. Pokémon Home

If you're a long-time fan of the Pokémon franchise, you've undoubtedly accumulated many creatures in past iterations.

Check out Pokémon Magikarp Jump, a title that lets players raise not just one but generations of this flopping Pokémon with the option to fish up various versions of this loveable little fish.
