'''Side series''' {{pkmn|games}} in the [[Pokémon]] franchise share similarities with {{spin-off games}}, but have a distinctive characteristic of maintaining more direct interaction with the [[core series]] games. These side series titles often offer players the ability to transfer [[caught Pokémon]] directly to their corresponding core series games or allow for other kinds of rewards or bonuses, enhancing connectivity and continuity between different game entries.
The '''side series''' of [[Pokémon games]] is a fan designation of games that share marked similarities or have significant direct interaction and connectivity with the [[core series]] games. Unlike {{spin-off games}}, these side series titles often allow players to transfer [[caught Pokémon]] directly to their corresponding core series games or other significant rewards or bonuses, enhancing connectivity and continuity between different game entries. While spin-off games occasionally offer limited rewards, including items that allow the ability to obtain certain Pokémon in the core games, they lack the gameplay similarities and interconnectivity that are distinct to the side series.  


One notable example is [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a role-playing game released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. While Gale of Darkness is not the sole representative of side series games, it serves as an illustration of the connectivity feature. In this game, players have the option to transfer Pokémon they have caught and nurtured in the [[Orre]] [[region]] directly to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} games on the [[Game Boy Advance]] console.

This integration between side series and core series games presents a unique opportunity for players to seamlessly continue their Pokémon adventures across different game environments. By bridging the gap between these game types, players can maintain a consistent Pokémon collection and progress their gameplay experiences. Such connectivity reinforces the interconnected nature of the Pokémon gaming universe and offers a deeper level of engagement for players seeking an expanded Pokémon journey.
