Pokémon UNITE's gameplay and design is very reminiscent of League of Legends, which makes sense given Tencent made that game too, but where it really shines is the simplified gameplay with virtually no learning curve. It is available on iOS, Android, and the Nintendo Switch, and supports cross-platform play. Unlike any Pokémon game yet, Pokémon UNITE doesn't incorporate Pokémon types and features all new "Unite moves" unique to each Pokémon. This MOBA-style game matches up two teams of up to five players, each with their own Pokémon that they must level up by battling wild Pokémon. While there are plenty of Pokémon apps that take a new approach to the franchise, both official and fanmade, Pokémon UNITE is certainly the most exciting of the lot (although I'm still holding out hope for Pokémon SLEEP!) Given the massive success of Tencent and its subsidiary TiMi Studio's other mobile games combined with the winning Pokémon franchise, it was a given that Pokémon UNITE would be a hit, but the new Pokémon MOBA's success blew past all expectations.

Further, there isn't a way to communicate with friends in the app, making it very difficult to coordinate Remote Raids. When you can't travel much, in-app purchases become necessary to keep playing as well. This past year has required Niantic to change a lot of aspects of the game to make it more accessible for players who cannot safely travel, but it's still a game best played on foot and with other people.
That having been said, Pokémon Go isn't perfect.
Now, almost five years later, you can still find players in just about any public place, especially during big events which bring the community together to celebrate Pokémon. Whether in your backyard, at your local Starbucks, or on a walk through a park, anywhere you can travel, you will find Pokémon. In fact, while virtually all-new Pokémon are formally introduced in the core Pokémon games, movies, or tv shows, two of the most recent Mythical Pokémon, Meltan and Melmetal, were introduced in Pokémon Go before making their debut in the core games and anime.īut what exactly is Pokémon Go? Pokémon Go is an AR location-based game that lets you find, battle, and catch Pokémon in the real world. With more than a billion downloads and generating over six billion in revenue by the end of 2020, Pokémon Go is a huge part of the Pokémon franchise. Pokémon Go, developed and published by Niantic in partnership with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, has been a massive success. While I may be a touch biased here, you cannot argue with the numbers.
