    Pokemon Duel, what a terrible game. I don't understand the Pokemon Company, they have access to one of the most beloved IPs on the planet and it seems like they are constantly putting out crappy mobile games.

    While the name of the game and even the screen shots may lead many to believe this is actually a Pokemon arena style game, that's not even remotely true - It's a mobile port of    Pokemon Duel, what a terrible game.

    While the name of the game and even the screen shots may lead many to believe this is actually a Pokemon arena style game, that's not even remotely true - It's a mobile port of their board game that involves collecting figures and spinning arrows.

    The mechanics to this game are incredibly shallow, from how the game itself plays, to how the pokemon are presented, to the fact you cannot even chose your own attacks, the entire premise of the game is using a spinner.

    The Pokemon Company would have spent better time on making a Pokemon Arena port than this pile of festing garbage. For what it's worth, the mini figure graphics are rendered beautifully, but that's about the only positive aspect of this game, it's like a half assed gacha game with zero actual gameplay.    … Expand

    Estrategia y suerte nunca pueden ir juntos.
    Básicamente si te consideras una persona con suerte, este es tu juego. No es un mal juego, para nada, pero si eliminasen ese factor suerte casi por completo, el juego seria de 10, porque da igual lo bueno que seas, lo buenos pokemon que tengas, o lo mal que juegue el contrario, que gana SIEMPRE el que mas suerte tenga, y eso no es justo.

    Deberían renombrar a este juego como "La ruleta rusa duel"    … Expand

    An intriguing but seriously flawed strategy board game for only the most patient of Poke-fans. [March 2017, p.80]

    Chance and strategy don't go together. [Issue #26 – March/April 2017, p.18]

    In terms of pure gameplay, there’s no question that Pokemon Duel is superior to Pokemon Go. The competitive nature of it also means it’ll be less faddish and more likely to get better with age. It’s simply too imperfect in its current form to be as fun as it could be, so if you want to dive into it while it goes through its growing pains, be prepared for more lulls than LOLs.
