Arriving at the start of this year, Pokémon Duel landed on iOS and Android to give Western gamers another mobile game to consider. It was essentially the localisation of Pokémon Co-master, offering a smart, strategic board game-style title that also had its share of flaws; that's what we thought in our review, anyway.
Like various other mobile titles it's continually updated and adjusted, and The Pokémon Company has outlined a sizeable update that's now rolled out; details are below.
- Room match customization: Trainers can define their own match rules
- Halls: Halls have their own set of rules that vary from the regular league match rules and Halls will be periodically rotated
- Team-based matches: Players will be able to periodically join one of three teams during certain events and win rewards based on their team’s performance
- Higher level caps: A new item allows your Pokémon figure’s level cap to be raised from 5 to 10
- Mega Evolutions: Makes your Pokémon figures even more powerful
- Shiny Pokémon: Uniquely colored Pokémon to add to your collection
Are any of you tempted to try this out on your mobile?

While it's not my kind of game, this trailer sure makes it look interesting.
I've had this sitting on my phone for a while. I might have to open it finally.
No Meloetta, no buy.
Just kidding, but, yeah, Meloetta isn't in this game, add more, as a free to start game, well, it's some tired if for complete the game, need complete time events..., and, in my case, have games with events and no time... Sigh...
I remember trying THESE out when it launched, it sorta just froze when I played a match, and in all honestly couldn't really get into it. I remember the original figures, and might be interested in a line of figures for this game just for figures and the figures alone, lol.
Forgot about this game, might look at it since Magikarp Jump is somewhat done. (also seems like they won't fix that stupid random crash bug)
This game is really underrated. I just reinstalled it.
I downloaded this awhile back. Tried it a bit but it wasn't enough to keep my interest for more than an hour or two (if that). Idk, I rarely actually get into phone games, though I've been doing the Yu-Gi-Oh duel links App a lot recently. I guess that's due to nostalgia though - if I want to play Pokémon I have numerous versions on my 3DS, but the Yu-Gi-Oh card game is pointless to me now due to no one I know my age actually bothering with trading cards anymore. Though idk how much longer I'll even be into that app, I've reached a point I would either have to spend money on a bunch of boosters or try to grind for specific cards from NPCs... which is why I hate phone games. I'm sure if I stuck with Pokémon Duel I'd hit a pay wall after not too long, in some form.
I prefer the rare phone game where I pay once upfront and that's it. I don't mind dropping $5-10 on a quality game if I don't have to pay for anything else.
