No, there shouldn't be a spin-off of any kind.
Pokémon is a series aimed at 6-12 year old kids and any spin-off would certainly be aimed at the same audiance since they're just to advertise the games anyway. Think
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon like. I can't believe anyone would actually consider one of these.

Worked for the games. Why not our tubes?
Um, what? Can you actually be relevant?
Pokémon isn't
Super Smash Brothers Brawl and the only thing it took from
Pokémon are a few characters.
Thinking of the idea that a spin-off anime for older teens would not work is ridiculous.
Thinking that one would be considered is even more ridiculous.

It would be no different then how the spin off games are to the originals.
Except, the spin-off games are aimed at children too.

yea thats true too. but at least if people knew how great the video games are.
That wouldn't change anything.

they could also make a constant story like in naruto,
Naruto doesn't advertise a popular game series and is shonen. They don'y need to be restricted by what their original purpose is.
instead of making new episodes that dont (always) fit with the last one so you can see them in any order. and everytime you can practically guess whats gonna happen. theres an event, team rocket ambushes, ash saves the day and the episode is over,
Blame the games.
whereas in naruto you just cannot guess what kishimoto (the creator) is going to do next. they could keep this kid version of pokemon, but adding another better one would make a hit.
You can't predict what's going to happen in
Naruto because it's not based on anything other than a manga which is based on nothing.
Seriously, put your thinking hats on people.
Pokémon is kodomo and nothing is going to change that because it's still successful.
