The Pokémon Company has shared that the online Switch and mobile battler, Pokémon UNITE, has reached an impressive 100 million downloads. What's more, the team are handing out celebratory codes to mark the occasion - woo, free stuff!
Shared on Twitter by @SerebiiNet, the download code - THANKYOUFOR100MM - will bag you 1,000 Aeos Coins and one Gold Emblem Box just for being a part of the rapidly growing number of players.
In order to enter the code, navigate to the Daily Events page before pressing on Gift Exchange where you can type in the thank you message. It is true, the 1,000 coins might not go all that far with the game's inflated prices, but it is a nice gesture all the same.
Are you still playing Pokémon UNITE? Take to the comments and let us know!

What a dissapointment of what they call a video game.
Haven't played Unite in a long while between Splatoon and SV dividing my attention away from it but went back on to grab these rewards and I've got to say: the break did me good, Unite's pretty fun again
@Powloon This is very philosophically written for Pokemon Unite of all things.
@Powloon As someone who plays this game from time to time, I have to 100% agree. Most of their cosmetics in the game are geared toward the trainer which is odd since no one can really ever see your trainer except at the end of matches. And their prices for Pokemon and cosmetics on the whole are about 10x more expensive than what you would get for the same price in something like Fortnite. They also have a battle pass that nets you truly no real rewards. Luckily for them the gameplay is pretty decent. Everything outside of that though is complete and utter garbage.
@kal_el_07241 I don't really disagree as you don't see other people trainers much. But you can look at them on the loading into the game screen, by clicking on their chosen Pokemon, and some people do do that. It's still only once for a very short amount of time though, but yeah you have a short chance to see them.
Can't agree more that their cosmetics are way overpriced. I really enjoy the game so I play it, but I've almost not bought any cosmetics at all because of the prices. They've started to set prices high for Pokemon licences too.
I wouldn't say the cosmetics themselves are garbage, but because of the prices, I agree as there is not much point to them, so yeah, sort of.
They've been a lot more generous with rewards and missions you can do for good rewards, but because other stuff is so expensive, it feels like it's a mix where they are being generous here and there, but also way way too greedy at the same time. Right now, not a good message overall for the players. I suppose I should say at least it can be fun to play.
@MarioFan432 Oh yeah the prices are way to high, I haven’t played in a wile but if it god worse, oof! However I love the trainers skins I get from time to time, and as someone who loves mobas, I gotta be honest, I get treated pretty well compared to others.
@Snatcher Yeah, they give more Aeos coins??? through missions, I think, anyway. But encourge using them to get gold and sliver boost emblems.
You don't have to use them, probably wiser not to. But that takes away too many of the coins, otherwise. And yeah Pokemon Licences have just increase in price by too much, all the new ones atm, anyway.
@MarioFan432 Wait they cost more? The moba model usually prices them by difficulty at use, and it shouldn’t go any higher, what the heck?
@Snatcher The new ones mostly cost 12k and a few are 14k. So they've been going up so far.
Yeah, it's not good. I haven't bought the new ones. Older ones are still 10k max.
Also for 1 week after release they had them only purchasable with gems, then the free aeos coins.
For 1 they gave it a bundle "discount", where during the 1st week you could only get it with the "discount" holowear that cost more gems. Thankfully it's only happened once, but pretty bad ideas there imo.
I'm hopeful they won't keep costing 14k, but have to wait and see.
@MarioFan432 I knew when I left it was getting predatory with its prices but dang I never thought at this degree, this is so sad, I really enjoy this game! But games like wild rift has so many characters and there character prices as far as I know, stay the same, idk why Tencent thinks there different.
@Snatcher Yeah, same. You'd like to think they're not reaching a reasonable profit margin, but I just somehow doubt it.
So it is kind of sad. I enjoy the gameplay too! The gameplay was made generously so it's sad to see such sad tatics on the business side of things.
Here's hoping it gets better, but idk.
@MarioFan432 I really do as well, I have poured so much time into that game, it would suck to see it go like this.
@Snatcher Yeah, it's really fun! Same here! Yeah I'm not too worried just yet, but yeah it is concerning if they don't change. I'm waiting to see what happens next. They had an interview where they said Pokemon licences won't all be high priced, but atm they haven't done that so idk.
It not looking good, but I'll see what happens next. The mission rewards have become more generous, but at this rate I won't be buying new Pokemon very often. Thankfully I have a lot of the older ones, so I have enough of them for variety and stuff.
If it really keep going like this, idk I'm still playing but less so than before. Hopefully they listen to feedback, as they gave a feedback survey and I'm sure everyone has told them to stop increasing the prices.
