The Gamecube may not feature the best Pokemon games or even many of them, but there’s still some to be had on the classic Nintendo console.
The main series of Pokemon games has always been handheld-exclusive, up until the release of the Nintendo Switch. While players on handheld were gifted with enthralling and engaging RPG adventures, home console players would also receive Pokemon games, albeit in a very different form.
Gamecube is no exception. Throughout the system’s lifespan, Nintendo released four Pokemon games, all of which were compatible with third-generation Pokemon games released on Game Boy Advance. The Gamecube was also the first home system to receive Pokemon RPG games, which however were very different from main series titles. With that in mind, which Pokemon games were the best on Gamecube? 4 Pokemon Box: Ruby And Sapphire
The worst Pokemon game on the Gamecube is undoubtedly Pokemon Box: Ruby and Sapphire. The reason is very simple: this is barely a game. In fact, it’s nothing more than a storage system for mainline third-generation Pokemon games. Players could upload and store their Pokemon from other games in Pokemon Box. To be fair, there are some additional features, such as having Pokemon breed, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is nothing more than a storage system. This is easily one of the worst spin-off ideas of all time, even if applications like Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Home could be seen as successors to this original concept.
While originally released with Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire in mind, as the title suggests, the game is also compatible with Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen, so every third-generation mainline game can upload creatures on Pokemon Box.
