5 features Pokemon Unite needs to deliver
While many Pokemon fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes, there’s another intriguing title that’s coming out before then: the franchise’s first-ever MOBA game, Pokemon Unite.
Developed in partnership with Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group, the game will see trainers travel to Aeos Island and take part in 5v5 Unite Battles, collect Aeos energy to evolve mid-fight, and see who can earn the most points before the time runs out. Although Unite is coming to Switch in July and mobile devices in September, many trainers are still unsure whether the game will be worth their while – and whether the premiumBattle Passwill be worth throwing their money down for. We’ve put together five major features that The Pokemon Company and Tencent will need to add to thegameto make it’s a success with players, from filling out that Pokedex to the introduction of playable Legendaries.
1. An expanded and diverse Pokedex
2. Regular updates
