Pokémon Unite Adds Another Pokémon To The Roster This Month

I know 2 people who are genuinely hyped for this pick.

...Isn't this game terrible or something? I never messed with it...lol
I just heard people always complaining how bad it was.

I hope that Chinese version someday will be the international version, really it has many options that make the game more extended and dynamic

Yawn... can't wait for February 27th though.

@Joeynator3000 No? I used to play it and I never heard anyone say it was bad. Just people bitching about gatcha stuff and the like.

What people did complain about were the characters being unbalanced or broken when they launched a new character.

Man I really like Galarian Rapidash, and it's almost tempting me to go back in but I don't wanna play anymore games where I need to log in daily to collect stuff.

Haven't played this in a long time but thought about giving another try recently. Maybe I'll wait for this bc i love the galar ponyta line

@SakuraHaruka What sorts of features? Also, I was sure I saw the Chinese version was discontinued.

For a sec I saw the thumbnail and thought my "pegasister" days may be catching up to me lmao. That bond is locked in-those neural pathways are set in stone.

Galarian Rapidash is my top favorite Pokemon! But I'm not really interested in Unite. I'm glad to see my favorite Pokemon represented, though. It never appeared in Gen IX. T.T

I'll only begin playing it when mah boi Golurk gets added.

@Mariotag

A video say more:

They do a lot of good choices for Pokemon, but the game barely feels different than when it launched. The Events are always the same things with the same Challenges with the same rewards, and I'd rather just not unlock new Pokemon for free than do them with how much of a boring slog it is.

@shoeses Tbh, this was my big issue as well. Too much of a grind to satisfy the not as much game time spent.

@Joeynator3000 Looking through the lens of other mobas; its watered down and unserious.

As a game itself, its fine though. MOBAs in general are a niche genre so naturally anyone who takes mobas seriously is going to look down on it compared to dota or league, but its still an ok casual game with typical frustrations of any moba (aimed at kids so naturally you'll have lower quality feeling matches, the game even has a losers queue where it secretly makes it a bot game just to untilt, in ranked.)

@Araquanid Well I never really played a moba game before so, yeah. x_x

I don't play many online multiplayer games in general, lol.
But yeah I've also heard that this game is super aggressive when it comes to micro-transactions and stuff, though. Maybe I'll give it a look at one of these days, I guess.

@Joeynator3000 In the beginning it was, because the grind was so bad that you would be at a severe disadvantage against someone that bought all their items (bonus stat effects and such) immediately where as a Free-to-player player would take weeks if not months for their build.

They've improved this drastically afaik, items no longer require purchasing to immediately get and can easily be used.

The microtransactions are now just typical battle pass things, fomo content. Otherwise if you dont care for cosmetics (which its pokemon so cosmetics aren't great anyways lol) its pretty much all free.
