Pokemon Unite is a free-to-play Strategy game that will be released on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The game focuses on 5v5 team fights in the format of a typical MOBA. Although the new genre of Pokémon looks different, many elements of traditional games endure. Here's everything we know about this genre game.
How is Pokémon Unite different from typical Pokémon games?
Rather than starting the game as a trainer, players will choose one Pokémon per match to play alongside four more. Then your team of pocket monsters will be transported to a dual track map, preparing to take on another group of five on the other side. The main objective is to capture more wild Pokémon than the other team. However, the captured Pokémon will only count towards your team's score if it is brought to one of the five goals on your opponent's side. However, to add stress, players' catches will not count towards their score if they are defeated by the enemy team before reaching any of the goals.
What is the same with traditional Pokémon games?

Players will be in control of these movements, and a big part of the strategy is deciding when a short or long term attack is needed. Unity moves, which are the idea of playing a special move, also come in handy in the most important moments. In addition, evolution is still very important in this title, and it is done by upgrading your Pokémon by defeating enemy players. For example, a player can start with Charmander, but if they play well, they can end with a Charizard at the end of the match.
