Which game series/franchise have you played the most titles?

[DarthGohan1]

Which gaming franchise or series have you played the most different number of titles total from? Not necessarily which franchise you like the most, or have played the most amount of time.

And how many games from that series?

 

[Wolfsbane]

Pokémon for sure. Let's see.

Spoiler: mainline games

- Yellow
- Crystal
- Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green
- Diamond, Platinum
- White
- X, Alpha Sapphire, Omega Ruby
- Sun and Ultra Sun
- Sword, Shield, Shining Pearl
- Scarlet, Violet

Now for the non mainline games. Unsure if some of them are main or not, but yeah.

Spoiler: non mainline games

- Snap, Stadium, Stadium 2, Puzzle League, Hey you Pikachu.
- Whatever the Puzzle League sequel for GBC was called, I forgot ^^'
- Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team, Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD
- Ranger
- Pokémon Go
- Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee, New Pokémon Snap

I'm pretty sure I played most of them for a ridiculous amount of hours. Pokémon and Animal Crossing are hyperfixations. つ﹏⊂
Edit : Forgot Fire Red and Leaf Green.

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

The Legend of Zelda, for sure. I've played 12/21 of the mainline games, though I've only finished three (OoT, MM, and BotW).

Spoiler: List

A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening (Switch)
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
The Minish Cap
Twilight Princess
Phantom Hourglass
Spirit Tracks
Skyward Sword
Breath of the Wild
Tears of the Kingdom
Echoes of Wisdom

 

[QueenCobra]

Probably the Mario games— main games and spin-offs.

 

[skarmoury]

Pokemon definitely! Played Gens 2-9 including sequels & remakes (I've only played 8 sparingly, but I'm hoping to progress when I've got time!). For spinoffs, from the top of my head: RS Pinball, Conquest, Mystery Dungeon (Red, Blue, EoS, Super Mystery Dungeon), Dash, Rangers (the original, Shadows of Almia), Picross, Sleep, Go, TCGP. I've clocked in a few minutes with Cafe ReMix, Quest, Unite, Magikarp Jump, and the online TCG (not the Pocket one), but I didn't enjoy them that much to count them. I guess I also collect Pokemon cards but I don't play them so it probably doesn't count.

Shoutout specifically to Pokemon RS Pinball for keeping me entertained during long waiting hours or when I'm just bored and don't wanna think, lol. Clocked in a good amount of hours with that one.

 

[Midoriya]

Pokemon and it's not even close, lol.

 

[ctar17]

Pokemon for sure:

LeafGreen, Sapphire, FireRed, Emerald, Pearl, Platinum, Soul Silver, White, Black, White 2, Y, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Ultra Sun, Shield, Shining Pearl, Legends Arceus, Violet.

Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Ranger: Shadows of Almia (my least favorite on here because of the Drapion), Battle Revolution

Not counting the free ones like Go, Unite, Magikarp Jump, etc

I'll get the new Pokemon game when it comes out, play through it, become the champion, maybe finish the Dex for the shiny charm if it's a regional one, then shiny hunt a bit till I get bored or the next one comes out. Every single time lol, so nostalgic

Favorite region: Hoenn by far. I really loved RSE as a kid and ORAS as a teen. Most nostalgic for me

 

[DarthGohan1]

I'm actually not sure between Pokemon and Mario, but I'm thinking it's probably Pokemon.

Now that I've actually gone through the whole list of Pokemon games.... it's got to be Pokemon. Counting mainline pairs from the same gen as only 1 (so Red + Blue = 1 game).... I've played at least 42 different Pokemon games.

[Balverine]

Before they split, I played every Harvest Moon game in the series, which I believe is 23 games
after the companies split, I only played one "harvest moon" game and didn't really care for it, but I've played all of the story of seasons games (5)

And I've played all of the Metal Gear series aside from the obscure one-offs that are hard to find LOL (8 games)

And there are several other series that I've played a lot of or most of, like The Sims

 

[Rainy.Nights]

Pokemon, played one or more main games from every gen and many of the other games as well. Mario and LoZ games would be pretty high up on my list too.

 

[Croconaw]

Probably Pokémon, though it’s not my favorite franchise. I find Mario more enjoyable.

 

[rocketspruggs]

Animal Crossing, for sure. I have played every game so far.

 

[Dunquixote]

For me it probably is Pokemon since the none of the other series that I’ve played had as many games as Pokemon. I played: Red, Blue, Yellow, gold, silver Crystal, ruby, sapphire, Emerald, leaf green, fire red, heart gold, soul silver, platinum, diamond, black, violet, sword (wip). I also played: Pokemon Pinball, Puzzle League, Stadium, Arceus, TCG (for gameboy color), Pokemon Gale of Darkness.

Other series that I’ve played a lot of the games are: all of Metal Gear Solid (including Peacewalker, Portable Ops, Ground Zero) — except the first one is WIP (I watched my ex play it and Twin Snakes so I know what happens).

Final Fantasy: VIII, X, XII (WIP), XIII, XIII-2, XV. VII is WIP. Also played Brave Exvius and a little of War of the Visions, Record Keeper off and on until it was shut down.

 

[nightglow]

Easily Pokemon. It also helps that they had many titles as well. Pokemon was a favorite of mine, so that played a role, naturally.

 

[Yoshi155]

Looking at the amount of Pokemon games everyone else has played, I don’t feel like I’m a real Pokemon fan now lol. To the surprise of no one, my answer is Mario. I have somewhere where I’m keeping track of all of the ones I’ve played for… reasons. Counting every mainline game and spin off, I’ve played 29 different Mario games before, but there might be one or two unimportant ones I’m missing.

Spoiler

Mainline:

- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2 (JP)
- Super Mario Bros. 2 (West)
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Super Mario Land
- Super Mario World
- Super Mario Land 2
- Yoshi’s Island (maybe? It’s the only Yoshi game with Mario in the title so I’ll count it)
- Super Mario 64
- Super Mario Sunshine
- New Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Super Mario 3D Land
- New Super Mario Bros. 2
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- New Super Luigi U
- Super Mario 3D World
- Bowser’s Fury

Spin-offs:

- Mario Kart 7
- Mario Kart Tour
- Super Mario Party
- Super Mario Run
- Dr. Mario World
- Super Mario Maker on 3DS, aka the worst way to play the game
- Super Mario Maker 2
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey (not counting that as a separate game)
- Dream Team
- Brothership

I was wondering about which series would be in second place. You can probably guess what would be third or fourth place based on my post history, but I realized second place is actually Mega Man. I was surprised since I only got into it in December, but I’ve played 19 different games already. Probably because most of them can easily be beaten in a day, they’ve made a lot of re-release compilations on consoles I have, and there’s over 130 of them, so there’s a lot to choose from (although half of them probably aren’t worth playing).

Spoiler

- Mega Man 1
- Mega Man 2
- Mega Man 3
- Mega Man 4
- Mega Man 5
- Mega Man 6
- Mega Man 7
- Mega Man 8
- Mega Man and Bass/Rockman and Forte
- Mega Man 9
- Mega Man I
- Mega Man II
- Mega Man III
- Mega Man IV
- Mega Man V
- Mega Man X1
- Mega Man X2
- Mega Man X3
- Mega Man Zero 1

That might sound like a lot but I’m not even close to done. Still have to play the other two Classic games, the other five X games (only one of which is unanimously considered amazing, the other four ranging from divisive to being the worst games in the entire Mega Man franchise), the other three Zero games and the two ZX games, then play whatever X and Classic spinoffs I can that qualify as actual games and not high quality shovelware, and decide if any of the other Mega Man series are worth starting and how to even play them. Maybe by the time I’m done Capcom will have released a new Mega Man game.

Edit: actually, I think second place actually goes to Sonic and Mega Man is really third. I don’t feel like listing every Sonic game I’ve played because I’m tired so you’ll just have to trust.
