"Important" Pokémon UNITE News Will Be Shared Tomorrow

"omg I can't wait!"
-literally no one

Scrapped and restarting development probably.

It looked ok though to me when it first was shown. Pokemon MOBA is a pretty fun concept.

Im into MOBAs so I am looking forward to how this will turn out. Im going to ignore all of this toxic cancel culture and see what turns out based on what I personally enjoy

@drewber2635 Did Charmander make a particularly outdated comment about gay people?

Meh, I want them to release Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald in original GBA form on Switch eShop. Why did they stop at Gen 2 on the virtual console?

Yeah, why share new infos on BDSP and LA if you can just show League of Pokemon

I played in the beta, and the game was very solid. Power balancing was an issue, but the game was a very accessible MOBA. The matches were nice and quick which was a real plus. I'm quite excited for the announcement tomorrow

@nessisonett No but Tencent apparently is the devil because of "shady" business dealings therefore we shouldn't support anything they touch

Tencent involved so no thanks!

I would have been excited for this had Tencent not been involved.

People are acting self righteous now that Tencent is involved is kinda hilarious.

With that being said, I'm not really looking forward to this game regardless.

Not sure what could be so important. Maybe a PC release? TBH, I'm kind of just expecting a release date, E3 has me jumpy about dumb announcements souring people's moods :/

It's amazing that there are three upcoming Pokémon games - even a Diamond/Pearl remake - yet I have no enthusiasm for any of them...

Wow, can’t miss that…

Can we get some more DP info please? I'm considering whether or not to buy it based on how complete it is.

hey if it's free...

@SmartNickname No need to be rude.

@Kimyonaakuma Why?

@Arkay Even if Tencent is involved, there is a chance the game will be good.

@TheDragonDAFan There's a chance the game will be good regardless of being made by Tencent.

It's been a while since we last heard of Pokemon Unite. I'm curious as to what news they have for us.

I feel like this game has already missed the boat, they really need to release otherwise 99% of the player base will just drop off in a week.

@mr-duster Why do you only comment on pokemon articles lol.

@mr-duster dude it was a joke

@Low_ink I don't.

@KBuckley27 Not quite "irrelevant".

@mr-duster I'm sure the game will be good, I just wish Nintendo had worked with a different company to make this game.

@Don I'm hoping they'll re-release all the old pokemon games on the eshop in some form or another. Everyone having their favourite version available on Switch would be such a huge success. Instead, we have to wait years each generation to be remade.

Found this:

"The latest information about the team strategy battle game "Pokémon UNITE" will be announced tomorrow, June 17th (Thursday) around 22:00!"

@mr-duster Over 99% of your comments are on pokemon articles. You literally have one comment on an unrelated article. Do you just not like other series or something?

surprise release as some sort of open beta? that'd be pretty cool.

@Low_ink @Low_ink I do like other series. I just feel like this particular game is getting too much hate just because it's being made by Tencent.

Looking forward to this. Need something to get me off Brawl Stars.

hopefully that its cancelled so no one supports Tencent

@Mando44646 I really don't know what the hubbub with Tencent is all about.

@mr-duster they have often copied other games, they found out how to make their software appear less exploitable in security tests while the opposite is true, they made a social media app called wechat that effectively spies on users
for the Chinese government including people outside of china, to name a few issues many have with them

@smithpa01 I see.
Well, it's best not to jump to conclusion that something like that will happen with Pokemon Unite. One never knows for sure until the time comes.

Great.. so instead of getting News on the actual games, we’re getting news on a game by a shady game dev.

@VoidofLight Technically, Pokemon Unite is an actual game. Besides, we might get news of the other games in the near future. Maybe on the 24th if last year's presentations are any indication.

@drewber2635 I congratulate you for being having an open mind. Me personally, I want to stay six feet (ha) from Tencent, and this game looks meh to me anyways. I hope you enjoy the game.

Just don't give Tencent any money, but I'm not complaining about you playing a free game.

oh yea forgot this was a thing coming

Hopefully a cancelation announcement 🥳🥳🥳

@Doofenshmirtz Don't get your hopes up. They're not going to cancel the game just because it was developed by Tencent. Besides, they wouldn't announce they were cancelling the game ahead of time. They would've said that the game was being cancelled right away, rather than waiting until the next day.

I'm still giving this game a chance bc I like moba's But man they took way to long on this for a mobile game. (But the fact that it was made by.... Those people, Might make it hard for me to be open minded)

This isn't even out yet? I thought it was revealed a loooonggg time ago.

Shows of the game more and launches it immediately after presentation. That's my prediction with knowing that Open Beta already happened at March.

It's Tencent, so it'll probably install spyware on your devices. But even if not, it'll probably be chalk full of a crapload of microtransactions.

Only good announcement about this game at this point would be that it would be cancelled or completely denounce the Tencent partnership.

Ah, it's funny, because this is made by a company I don't like, while using an IP I don't like, in a format I don't like, and in a genre I don't like! Very impressive honestly. I guess it was never made for me, though.

@SmartNickname

omg I can't wait!

So it's not literally no one

I played the Beta with my friend. It actually played really well. I was hooked on it during my Beta time and I’m interested to see what they have to say.

@SmartNickname While your comment did make me laugh out loud, I kinda wanna see if this game is any good. Haven't had fun with Pokemon since Leaf Green/Fire Red, so if they can get a good game into our hands again, I would be grateful.

So far, though, their series is more stale than the old bread in my fridge. Hm, better change that.

Moba's are great fun, i am quite keen to get my hands on this. The demo wasnt in my region. Arena of Valor was 'ok' but clearly an experiment on switch. I really want a moba designed for the switch.

Nintendo Switch > July
Mobile > September

(Japan betas on Swich later this month).

Press release:
Pokémon’s first strategic team battle game, Pokémon UNITE, is arriving soon! The Nintendo Switch version is scheduled to come out first, this July. The mobile version is scheduled to be available for download starting in September. Cross-platform play between Nintendo Switch and mobile devices is planned, which will allow players to battle together and against one another.
