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.

A notable example of a side series game is {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a role-playing game released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. While Gale of Darkness is not the only 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.
