Pokemon Unite Announced For Nintendo Switch And Mobile Devices

The Pokemon Company and TenCent have announced a new MOBA-style Pokemon game called Pokemon Unite. The new game will let players control a single Pokemon in a 5x5 real-time team battle. The set-up is similar to other MOBA games, with players scoring points by reaching goals and leveling up their Pokemon as they advance towards certain goal points. One notable difference is that players score points by catching wild Pokemon and then depositing them at one of the goal points. Players can destroy their opponent’s goals to make scoring more difficult, and players who are knocked out will also return after a short reset period. The new game will also feature cross-platform support on the Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, and platforms.
