POKEMON CAFE MIX SERVE OFFERINGS UPDATE

So how does Café ReMix hold up amidst the other Pokémon spinoffs available today? While clearly unable to hold a candle to the worldwide phenomenon of GO, Shuffle plodded on steadily since its 2015 debut, covering seven generations of Pokémon until it was quietly put on life support and its in-game events set to loop indefinitely.

POKEMON CAFE MIX SERVE OFFERINGS UPDATE

Perhaps one of the most cross-platform initiatives of 2020 was a curious little offering by the name of Pokémon Café Mix (later rebranded as ReMix after a major update in 2021) - not only has this game made a splash for itself for merchandising, it's even had a few tie-ins with actual Pokémon cafés! Developed by Genius Sonority, Café Mix is yet another notch in the company's list of spinoff involvements, including another free-to-play release in Pokémon Shuffle, aka 'Pokémon meets Candy Crush'.

I mean, let's face it: ten years ago, nobody could have expected Pokémon to have its own tooth-brushing app. Whether this is good or bad for the core game development is a separate discussion, but looking at the games getting churned out in the late 2010s, it's clear that spinoffs have taken off in increasingly varied and experimental directions. Like other famous titles under Nintendo's banner, the series has transcended genres, platforms, and even company borders as the franchise adapted to a new paradigm of international releases and trends in gaming. Anyone who's followed the history of Pokémon will know that the franchise is hardly a stranger to spinoffs.
