Looks like Pokemon will have its own MOBA game. Comes out for Nintendo Switch next month, with other platforms following after.

Pokemon Unite launch windows are here, with things kicking off on the Switch in July 2021. It will be the first system to get the free-to-start MOBA. Then, come September 2021, it will show up on Android and Apple iOS devices. Cross-play and cross-saves are confirmed, so long as someone connects via a Nintendo or Pokemon Trainer account.

The announcement also included new details about the game itself. Each player is taking part in Aeos Island’s Unite Battle Committee tournaments with their Pokemon. Each person has one Pokemon they use. You join a team of five other players and try to capture opponent’s control points and fight trainer’s or wild Pokemon to earn points. The side with the highest score wins. As you play through a match, your Pokemon will level up and learn new moves.

Some of the obtainable items were confirmed. This is a game with paid Aeos gems and in-game Aeos coins and tickets. Both gems and coins let you buy Unite Licenses, which allow you to use certain playable Pokemon. Gems, coins, and tickets can all be used to get clothing and accessories to wear. Gems and coins are used on held items. Only gems can be used on Holowear and upgraded battle passes. Though the normal battle pass doesn’t cost gems.

Here’s the new Pokemon Unite Switch and mobile trailer.

I'm hoping I don't develop an addiction to this game, I always fall into games like this.

I wonder why so much later on mobile. The beta was on mobile, and from what I accumulated it was working great on it.

I am sure that there will be something like loot boxes, but at least there will be something to play in addition to dota.

It could be due to the hardware differences, they may have started out on mobile but could still be having a hard time working out kinks due to that; so they decide to release it on Switch.

That would be ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The Switch and 3DS are too gimmicky for me. The last Pokemon I played was B&W 2.

[Spooky]

Wow this should be an interesting drop. Im sure the Nintendo Switch will have exclusive content vs iOS & Android.

Was interested at first, but after hearing about the microtransactions I'm going to give it a pass.

It was expected, honestly, as MOBAs are already fairly notorious for microtransactions. Pair that with the fact that the people behind it are Nintendo, who've been becoming quite chummy with MTX's, and Tencent, who live and breathe the business practice, and I would've been more surprised if it came out any other way. Even though it's surprising that they have the balls to do it on a console.

Real shame too. Pokemon really is being bled dry. I was so disappointed when I heard Tencent was involved.
