What mysteries could the Pokemon series have to show us, in today's Pokemon Presents event? Following directly upon the other "Presents" that took place a few days ago, whatever this reveal is, The Pokemon Company considers it "a big project", so come find out what it is, when the stream begins at 8am CDT!

It begins with a trailer going over the history of how Pokemon has impacted people, by letting them battle, trade, and play together, in both TCG and video game form. The first "Pokemon Team Battle" game is here in Pokemon Unite. Tencent will help with the release of this game while TiMi Studios will assist in development. The goal for the game is to be an easily accessible coop Pokemon game for anyone to pick up and play. It'll have two teams of five Pokemon in each fight. For every wild Pokemon you defeat, your chosen Pokemon, that begins at level 1, will level up and learn new moves, or even evolve. It's free to play, and will be on mobile and Switch, with support for cross-play.

Gameplay is shown, where players pick their favorite Pokemon, ranging from Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Snorlax, and more. They're all in their pre-evolved forms except Lucario and Snorlax. When scoring on the opponent's side, the Squirtle evolves into Wartortle. You can destroy goals to stop opponents from healing. This is pretty much best described as a Pokemon MOBA.

The launch information will come at a later date.

That's a wrap.

I don't mind this at all, except...typing will have no effect? At which point it just becomes a pokemon skin on another game. Evolution and type advantages are what I'd classify as pokemon fundamentals. Mess with those and you make it not pokemon

But as long as it's fun, i don't mind it being a skin of another game.

yeah they just got a random coded moba game they probably had in development, added pokemon skins to it and made the scoring thing being pokemon defeated on the arena.

srs see a charizard use fire blast on an ivisaur dealling almost no damage and then venusaur using solarbeam on charizard who is 4x resistante to it and doing the same amount if they are on the same level is ridiculous, pokemon is just skin and looks becuase gameplaywise this is the regular moba with some gimmiky score stuff thrown in.

Man I was literally not expecting anything and I am still disappointed....

 

[Gon Freecss]

tencent is a no-go.

 

[Centrix]

ugh, looks like League of Legends meets Poke'mon, pass, I have never been a fan of MOBA's, but I am sure there will be allot of people out there who will enjoy this. I'm waiting for the next major Poke'mon game in the series, yeah I know sword and shield just came out but meh, lol

 

[Ampersound]

Looks like LoL / Hots.
TPC is many years to late to jump in on the moba hype. Also reaction heavy moba games aren't suited for mobile.

 

[progiraffe-man]

C'mon, Gen 4 remakes, Pokken 2, and/or Stadium remakes/rereleases.. C'mooooon...

Edit: Fuck.

Pro tip: You can't be disappointed if you don't expect anything

Even for the people that weren't expecting anything, this announcement was pretty disappointing lol

 

[Volttekka]

Eww Tencent

 

[Agusto101]

A pokemon moba? REALLY? Omg....the Pokémon company is just running out of ideas...fuck off, rest in peace Gen 4 remake.

 

[Nudu]

This is both good news and bad news. Good because it means Nintendo is pawning off development of shitty mobile games to a shitty mobile developer like Tencent, so that they can concentrate on developing real games. Bad because...well that part seems obvious.

But hey, New Pokemon Snap hype, am I right guys?

the worst part is pokemon games like tencent have more pokemons catchable and usable than main pokemon games now, and they are even getting mega evos in pokemon go, while gamefreak just screwed us all ...

I hope we get Megas back one day.. hey, they could still release a third version to sword and shield that includes Mega.

But... the new Pokemon Snap is being developed by Bandai Namco. Unless they have a game that is being developing by one of their studios, I don't see how this is related to Nintendo developing real games.

Neither too few 'Mons nor the slight difference between mega evos and gigamaxing are my biggest gripes with Sword and Shield. The limited open world was probably my biggest letdown, when they could've gone full BotW. Having realized that Pokemon is only ever going to be good for a nostalgia trip (Let's Go, Snap), I've moved on. TemTem and Persona manage to scratch the same itch without feeling laughably outdated.

I mean that it frees them up to spend time developing other games in any series, not necessarily just Pokemon. Though I suppose Nintendo's involvement in Pokemon has always been fairly limited anyway, what with GameFreak existing and all. /Shrug

That's a fair assessment.

it frees gamefreak but what do they do besides well pokemon games? i know they did some budget games like town hero and giga wrekers whatever and elephant one i forget, but yeah besides pokemon all they did was some budget games that werent that good so freeing them moredoesnt actualy add much to nintendo or gamefreak.

All spin offs arent made by gamefreak
mystery dungeon series chunsoft
ranger series hal/creature inc
rumble series e hey you pikachu ambrella
pokemon stadium 1 and 2 were the rare ones made by nintendo studios EAD
Colosseum,XD,trozei,battle trozei,shuffle and upcoming cafe mix and battle revolution were made by Genius Sonority
pokemon Snap Hal laboratory
etc

gamefreak only develops main pokemon games so announcing spin offs does nothing to gamefreak or nintendo since they just pay an outside studio to develop it.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

An online multiplayer game by Tencent?

GO DIE IN A FIRE, POKÉMON. You died back in 2018; please don't keep dragging your maggot-infested corpse around.

 

[leon315]
