    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.

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

    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. 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.

A majority ofAs 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. Sadly, it was released with a competitive style in mind and didn't rise up to expectations. Expand

    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?

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