The announcement of Pokemon Unite It caught more than one fan of the saga by surprise. Because no one expected or imagined a proposal like the one The Pokémon Company and Tencent had prepared, a MOBA that would change some details compared to popular titles like DOTA or LoL, but with a very similar base. Well, now we know that the final release for Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android is closer. When can you start playing it? what you have.
What is pokemon unite
TI have Pokémon Company and Tencent announced in mid-2020 that both were jointly developing a new pokemon title At that time they did not give much information, only a small video where they advanced with some images what we could expect from him.
Today, after some leaks and that first phase of the beta carried out in China, we have learned some extra details. To refresh your memory a bit. Pokémon Unite is a MOBA type game. That is, a multiplayer title in real time where there will be two teams made up of a total of five Pokémon trainers.
They will have their own favorite pokemon who will be the ones who will face those of their adversaries and will transfer some game mechanics that you can enjoy on Nintendo consoles to the MOBA genre. This is where we don't know exactly each and every one of the details, but the idea is that despite the change in game type, it maintains that essence that its fans like so much.
Regarding the graphic section, you only have to see the images of the trailer or those that were leaked on Reddit a few weeks ago. Quite similar to those offered by recent titles such as Pokémon Sword and Shield or even the mobile version of Pokémon Go.
What does change is everything related to the controls for those new mechanics and style of play proposed by MOBAs and even more one like this, where there will also be the typical map with the two points that serve as the base for both teams and that in the end they must defend or finish off the opponent before they do the same with yours.
