Why buy sidekicks?

I've seen them in the stores, so why would you waste your money on something that just follows you around and nothing else?

The Sidekicks in Trap Team, even the ones from Giants, are now playable and they fight like their regular counterparts.

Oh, that's really cool! Do they have a different moveset from their larger counterpart?

No, they have the same powers as their regular versions.

I would also like to add that, except for a specific area in the hub, they don't unlock any other content in the game.

They may increase your Elemental Power, once collected, but I'm not sure of it, since I don't own any.

The mini Giants are just as strong but faster. You get 2 playable characters for the price of one trapmaster.

Yeah.

Well, personally, they should give me more reasons to buy them, other than the cuteness factor.

I'm not saying they are a stupid idea, not at all.
They give people more variety in choices, which is good.

But they should make them more special, so they can appeal to customers who already own their "adult" counterparts.
Right now, they are just cute S1 Skylanders.

I like the Minis (I even got me two of the packs so far with plans on the Weeruptor/Small Fry pack) but I agree. They should have had like special "mini areas" that only they can get into.

^ Or made them more useful on 3DS version, since those owners have no need to buy traps!

I was thinking about actually giving them exclusive abilities different from their "normal" versions.
No one should be forced to buy a characters they practically already have, just to unlock new content.

I guess buying the minis is just if you like their miniatured version because they are pretty much like their normal counterparts on Trap Team when it comes to attacks and all. I know it can also count as a new Skylander for the collection for the collectors and that you can improve elemental power stat as far as I know. I have many of these and I absolutely like them so far.

But you bought Spry, who is a Mini version of Spyro with the same exact moves.

I already said this but you can go in with chill bill just go to the library jump to the Platfrom use chill bills secondary attack he'll go through the Platfrom and onto it there there go your in the mini area. I think some minis are use so you can get skylanders that are not released in normal form expample I never got fryno I could get small fry to solve that

I really like the way this game gives you something new to do with them if you already own some sidekicks from SSA or Giants.
Usually the Skylanders games give your old toys no new functionality.
