Pokemon Unite (MOBA, Tencent)

So the beta has been out for about 2 days, and the response so far has been pretty dang positive. Has anyone here been able to give it a go?

Wasn't Unite supposed to release this July? Can't find it on eshop nearing its release date.

Ppkemon Unite launches on the 21st, log in before august 31st to unlock Zeraora for free.

Im actually excited about this, especially if they continuously add more mons and outfits from across the franchise.

Bit disappointed that the teams don't have six Pokemon each. I still might try out the game, though.

Pokemon Unite is apparently live on the eshop right now, ahead of schedule. Lets goooo(?)!!

Edit: apparently its a pre sownload instead?

I created the page. It's just the bare minimum right now; I could particularly use help with the description. I'll continue looking for tropes to add.

Gardevoir is now out and about!

That was fast; i didnt expect a new character THIS soon

Yeah that was a surprise.

Still haven’t bought anyone using the coins, but I’m considering Gengar. Loving the way he plays and he’s my girlfriend’s favorite Poke.

Oh cool, they added my fave really quickly. Guess I'll go download it and check it out. May as well, since they got the launch bonuses going on right now :p

The game is currently largely people familiar with MOBA-style games slaughtering legions of literal children.

'Sfun.

So every MOBA then? Cool.

If Little Timmy wants to step into shark infested waters, so be it.

I imagine the Pokémon styling would draw the kids in more than the style of Dota, LoL, or HotS could :p

It's all fun and games until you're babysitting the team of kids against a well-coordinated group of disgruntled League players.

Or when you have to try multiple times to get a match because one player doesn't ready up... or after trying a half dozen times, one of your teammates doesn't do anything at all for the entire match, and you're up against a team that has a clue what they're doing.

At least the good news for that second one is that after a few rounds of that, it is a self correcting problem; kinda hard to matchmake and idle when you get locked out of matchmaking for excessive idling.

Here go folks, our very first Patch Notes, With buffs for many mons who needed it, nerfs to tho who did too much, and nothing for those just right. Notable nerfs: Cinderace, gengar hex, Zeraora unite move. Notable buffs: Charizard, Talonflame on all attacks beisdes basics and unite move, Wigglytuff gets bulkier and does more damage, and Vensaur gets a lot of love for sludge bomb, its unite move, and a cooldown reduction on Solarbeam.

Probably all needed. I tried Wigglytuff once. Once.

Well, at least there's some detail to the notes, letting us know what's being altered. On the other hand, it would be nice to see some numbers, and also a clarification what this is supposed to be —

I'm guessing it's a movement speed boost, but it could also mean that the move in general is also being upgraded >_<

Man, playing with randos can be so frustrating.

I'm really enjoying playing as Slowbro. And the thing is, he's an assist king. He can shut down opposing pokemon with ease and turn them into easy pickings for a DPS pokemon.

So, naturally, after declaring my lane I'm usually followed by another tank. Or, alternatively, I'll hand a Gengar or Greninja with a sliver of health over to a teammate on a silver platter for them and they'll use that opportunity to run off to god knows where.

Mamoswine and Sylveon will be the next Pokémon to join

Mobile Launch is coming soon, so we get a sneak peek of changes that are coming soon, as well as brand new costumes for Charizard, Gengar, and Garchomp!

Serebii is also translating notes for the upcoming patch

The UI got an overhaul for the update. There's more animations for the in-match notifications and some other menus, you get a summary of who did you in and who helped when you get KO'd, and the game now informs you if Pokémon are attack- or special-attack-based. Unfortunately, there are some menus that are still laggy, especially the character select screen.

There's also a quest series going on right now that gives you up to three items that instantly max out a held item. It also refunds any item enhancers you used on it already, so it's pretty good for getting your fave 'mon kitted out quickly.

Some people are having problems getting the mobile launch rewards right now, which the devs are aware of. However, if you can redeem the rewards, make sure you buy the Pikachu license before you redeem for it, as it only costs 6000 coins in the shop, but you get 8000 coins if you redeem the license and already own it :)

Halloween event starts on the 20th, featuring many new costumes, new decorations for the map, what appears to be a new game mode, and a new pokemon debut for...Greedunt.

Pardon the double post, but we got patch notes. Dreadnaw and zapdos nerfed, rotom buffed?!

Our first big event since the halloween update, new outfits, stickers, maps, and a brand new character Dragonite! In addition, Tsareena will also be a free character if you log in after december 9th!
