    Not as good as I hope for. For the record, I played it on an iPhone and a ROG Phone.
    - Connection problem. Often get lag even controlling your Pokemon is hard (for example, move joystick to left, but it still goes right) and reconnecting in the middle of a match.

    - Characters are unbalanced. Some melee attackers can kill you in a snap. You still have half of your health and one hit away to kill your opponent, then boom... you're dead.
    - Matchmaking is weird. After getting a good team and winning, chances are you will get a weak team in the next match.
    - Held items can be pay to win (and there's even a item that can boost them to max level).
    - I don't know what the cause of this. But there are times when you score a goal and the bar already full, but a second later an enemy approach and attacking you. Then your goal get cancelled. Is it lag or a bug?    … Expand

    This game has unbalanced pokemon (they love speedster), bad matchmaking (especially in ranked match), unfair reward system (you will go down in rank even though you are the only player in your team who have the highest points in a match), weird comeback mechanic through Zapdos (all your 8 minutes hard work will be gone if enemy kill it).

    Matchmaking is very bad. Especially in Ranked Match and you play solo. You will often get team mates that don't know how to play (or they are just trolls and bots). The Rank System itself is bad. Because it only counts win and lose. With that kind of matchmaking, climbing up the rank is hard.

    As exciting as it was to see this game announced, it sadly didn't provide the competitive nature that most players hoped for. A majority of actions taken during the matches are futile considering one feature that takes place in the last two minutes decides most of the points earned in a match. Casually, the game is a fun time and is a good free to play experience with friends.

    Another Diablo Immortal esque cash grab designed to manipulate players... no, PAYERS... into spending all of their hard-earned money on garbage.

    A free-to-start Pokémon MOBA that aims to enroll casual and semi-casual gamers into the genre.

    PROS: - IT'S FUN: I've never been into Pokémon, but the game still managed to hook me. It doesn't feel like a depressing grind, and that's more than I can say for almost every other free-to-start I tried. - NOT THE USUAL CASH GRAB…: Free-to-play games have a deserved reputation for    A free-to-start Pokémon MOBA that aims to enroll casual and semi-casual gamers into the genre.

    PROS:

    - IT'S FUN: I've never been into Pokémon, but the game still managed to hook me. It doesn't feel like a depressing grind, and that's more than I can say for almost every other free-to-start I tried.

    - NOT THE USUAL CASH GRAB…: Free-to-play games have a deserved reputation for shallow gameplay and greedy microtransaction. Pokémon UNITE can reasonably be played for as long as you wish without paying a dime. Money helps, but it's not a requirement unless you want to try different builds and characters.

    CONS:

    - …BUT IT'S STILL OGLING YOUR MONEY: Yes, the game isn't "pay to win". Still some cosmetic items have immoral, unreasonable prices that no game should ever attempt, and there are gacha mechanics that should be illegal in a game targeted at kids.

    - THE GAMEPLAY FEELS SLIGHTLY SHALLOW: There is a lot to do and to learn in this game–but even with all the different characters and builds, a sense of repetition sneaks in almost immediately. It's not bad enough that you want to stop playing, but it does make you wonder whether you should be doing something else with your time.    … Expand

    Is a good MOBA, is addictive and is easy to play. I think the idea is good, just 10 minutes to play and four moves to use, like another Pokemon game. I want to play more of this game, but is good and I hope this game still alive in some years.

    Pokemon Unite is nothing like any of the awful bad reviews say it is.
    Pokemon Unite is a fun, easy to play, but hard to master MOBA game that anyone on Mobile devices or Nintendo Switch can play and enjoy.

    Pokemon Unite is a fun, easy to play, but hard to master MOBA game that anyone on Mobile devices or Nintendo Switch can play and enjoy. It does a great job capturing the charm of normal Pokemon games with mechanics that reference battling Wild Pokemon and leveling up your Pokemon. It has lot's of different stradigies with different Pokemon with different abilities, just like the normal Pokemon Games as well. It's also great that the game has a ton of fan favorite Pokemon, as well as some Pokemon that people consider underated. Overall, as the great Pokemon fan I am, I wish that more Pokemon players will start liking this game, and stop hating on it so much.
    P.S. All the bad reviews that say Pokemon Unite is "pay to win" are wrong, it's just "pay to buy unrequired cosmetics" and there IS a ranking system, that keep thing mostly balenced.    … Expand

    Amazing game with a lot of replayability and rewards to keep you going. Great fun with friends and people you know. Anytime you want a quick fun game to play whilst commuting or anything else you might be doing, this is the perfect game for that.

    Well, the game is kinda good. Nice graphic, awesome pokemon, and good gameplay. But the only problem is brain dead teamate. And this problem is getting worse and worse to me. Hope you can find the ways to fix this.

    Imagine League of Legends, but fun. It's quick, easy to get into, and hella fun. Once you reach Trainer Rank 9 you get thrown into harder lobbies so get ready for a difficulty spike

    I consider it the best MOBA video game on the phone. And do you know why? Because it's simple, as all phone games that make them difficult should be. I don't spend hours and hours on it, I play it occasionally when I'm bored on the toilet, but besides being challenging, it can also be played with friends one night just for fun. Of course it's scripted like all other MOBA games, but it hasI consider it the best MOBA video game on the phone. And do you know why?

    Pay to win MOBA. Useless diversion of talents that make the mainline games bad.

    Pokémon UNITE is a solid spin on the MOBA genre, but it feels like it should be more special.

    Pokemon Unite flashes moments of brilliance, and the battles always feel like they’re balanced on something of a knife edge. Is it perfect? No, some of the IAPs do feel a bit pay-to-win, and the roster of characters isn’t as expansive as MOBA fans might want. But when it works, boy does it work.
