soon as I saw the gameplay my stomach sank

N O P E

---

Looks pretty underwhelming.

---

Free to start and on Android and iOS too.

---

Skip

Brought to you by TPC and Tencent.

Can't say I'm interested.

---

At least it is a spinoff.

---

Hey, at least it's something new for the franchise.

---

Of all the things I could have expected from this announcement, this definitely wasn't one of them.
---

Nobody asked for this

if it was a pc moba i'd be interested

---

The worst part is that it will do really well because Pokemon fans would play literally anything with Pokemon in it.

---

That was underwhelming
---

Lol, wait. Is the Direct over? What a waste of time.

yeah if it was on pc I would at least try it out, but fuck mobile.

There's a reason why Pokemon Rumble never caught on and Nintendo clearly hasn't gotten that hint yet.

---

But i mean hats off for Nintendo for getting into the moba genre 10 years after it was relevant.

Pokemon fans on suicide watch imo

I'm pretty sure someone made a Pokemon MOBA for Warcraft 3 way back when lol

Tbqh it wouldn't have been so disappointing if they didn't have a bigger, much better presentation last week and say OH BUT WE HAVE ONE OTHER BIG PROJECT TO ANNOUNCE THAT NEEDS ITS IN OWN PRESENTATION NEXT WEEK.

Yeah, this should have been thrown in with the Pokemon Direct from last week.

What is that from?

---

mobile moba :(

---

I wish Nintendo could just find away to own Pokemon outright and get rid of TPC.

---

They really wanted to focus on that one girl a lot during the gameplay.

Nothing more insulting than the fact that they created an entire new presentation for this

It was pretty good though most people here only know about the candle jack episode but there's actually a lot of really

Some interesting ideas, I'll play it. Seems like the kind of thing where people who like playing to win will find it impossible to find pubbers, though.

I think it is crazy how much they actually stripped the unique aspects of Pokemon out of this. Like why would you take out type advantage. That would actually help make it different than every other MOBA.

There's way to even remotely balance typing in a game like this. It'd make combat almost entirely onesided. There's already plenty of pokemon flavor to it - they evolve and learn new moves.

It's on Switch on as well not just phones

---

I too think a PC release would help. Expand the audience and would be good in terms of controls.
