Pokemon adapted their brand in a game genre Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), Pokemon Unite. The game will be officially launched on September 22, 2021, globally.
Before it was officially released for Android and iOS devices, fans can already start pre-registering at official stores such as the Play Store and App Store.
Pokemon Unite has prepared various gifts for fans who pre-register. Prizes start from Aeos tickets, Pikachu Unite License, and Festival Style: Pikachu.
Until early September 2021, players who have pre-registered have reached more than 5 million. This fan enthusiasm led Pokemon to add a prize of 1000 Aeos tickets.
Carrying the MOBA theme, in Pokemon Unite players will compete to get the highest pokeball score by eliminating jungles and opponents.
Pokemon Unite's gameplay is also slightly different from other Pokemon games which usually adapt type-advantage elements.
The element is removed so that there is no type advantage over each other between Pokemon. Pokemon still have an evolution stage.
For example, the Charizard character, who will start from the Charmander stage, then evolves to Charmeleon at level 4 and reaches the third evolution to Charizard at level 9.
Like other games that need teamwork, there are 5 roles that players can play in Pokemon Unite:
- Attacker: Pokemon that has the advantage of dealing high damage but lacking in weak endurance or not having a large health point.
- Speedster: A Pokemon that has great mobility and offensive advantages and excels at making quick attacks to score points.
- All-Rounder: A Pokemon that has balanced offensive and defensive stats, like a fighter suitable for solo lines.
- Defender: Pokemon that has high durability and excels in protecting allies to withstand enemy attacks. This type of pokemon will usually run together with an attacker type pokemon that has low health points.
- Supporter: Pokemon that provides support for the team with the ability to control crowd control such as stun, knock up or healing.
Meanwhile, Pokemon Unite has released about 23 Pokemon characters that can be used by players. Experience Pokemon duel like never before in Pokemon Unite.
