    Un juego que tiene partes de LOL por los items pero que también tiene cosas de héroes of storm, el juego no es pay to win, tal vez fast to win porque todo se puede obtener solamente jugando, las partidas son breves y frenéticas cosa que se agradece

    Apart from the slight pay to win, this is a great and addictive game with the Pokémon spin added to it.

    Not sure what all the cry babies on here are complaining about. With no real mobas on the switch or consoles in general it is good to have one.

Also it is FREE TO PLAY. Devs have to make money somehow or the game wouldn’t exist. You are supporting the game to grow so stop crying about pay to win because it isn’t. Could use some ironing out and more content but the mechanics are very solid. Will keep playing this game!… Expand

    Having an absolute blast with the game. Really fun, well made, and I beg to differ on the comments that say it's a pay to win game. Everything can me purchase with time, and actually kinda fast. I haven't experienced any bugs, nor lag or fps drops. It's really stable so far.

    I am not a fan of MOBA games or anything, but to be honest, I loved to play this game. It's very fun, it's free (yeah, it has some microtransactions, but you can easily play the game without them) and it's also
    very simple to learn how to play it, because it doesn't have any complex mechanic like those we find on another MOBA games, like LOL or Dota.

    Game is amazing. People who write about donation, do not understand some things in-game.
    - Actually you don't need lvl 30 item for playing, lvl 20 is enough 'coz you will get maximum main stat from it at level 20 already.
    - You can't buy all Pokemons from the start just like you can't buy all champions in league of legends at the start. Yes here it is a bit more difficult. But it's fun    Game is amazing. People who write about donation, do not understand some things in-game.

    It's a great game and if you focus on one pokemon, you can be high in the rankings quickly without paying for anything. This is not a p2w game. You pay if you want to develop more Pokemon.

    I am surprised by the complaints. You have a lot of fun and a lot of challenges for free. You want more? Pay. It's a great offer for me.

    This game is totally fun. There might be many people saying that this game is pay to win but it actually isn't. The impact of held items are not that difference between lv20 and 30, what requires more is individuals' skill of understanding moba to win the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was Bored and I decided to try out Pokemon Unite on the Nintendo switch. Once I started playing it I could not put my Nintendo switch down. This Game is super Fun. It has a great Roster and it is one of the most Underrated Pokemon games Ever. The game has a great Roster of Pokemon, and the combat in this game is greatis great Who ever says it is a Pay to win game is wrong because I am able to win without even paying a cent It is a fantastic game and I am excited for the mobile version to come out. I am even though that I am rating this game a 10 their is one issue. I wished that their was Pichu and Raichu because They added Pikachu in the game and when a match starts. All pokemon start as the first stage and you have to Score points or battle Pokemon for the final evolution stage. But Pikachu Starts out as Pikachu and not Pichu. I get he is the mascot and all but it makes no sense that all of the other pokemon who is at their final stage start out as the first stage but not Pikachu, and he should be a Raichu because it makes even more sense. Same with Snorlax and Muchlax. Other than that this game came out like three weeks ago writing this so I understand that.… Expand

    People saying it is "pay to win" either haven't actually played the game, are very bad at it, or don't know what words mean. Literally anything you can get with purchase currency can be gotten by playing the game. I won my first 4games off the bat with no held or earned items and got MVP as a beand new player, then used my earned currency to buy a new held item.

    I got to master fairly easily without paying a cent on this game and have had a blast with my friends. Pay 2 win is only true if you want every item for every pokemon max level. Spending $100 gets you that (which I haven't done yet but I might because I love the game). The game is fun enough that it's definitely worth $100 if that bugs you so much.

    Pokemon Unite delivers an exceptional Pokemon and MOBA experience. Recent updates rendered the (overwblown, but real) pay-to-win elements null. If you're upset about content creators monetizing their product, high quality digital media might not be for you.

    Es un buen juego, es adictivo y no pienso que sea un pay2win, puedes conseguir objetos para conseguir efectos especiales, pero la verdad estos poseen un porcentaje de acción muy bajo, además de que consigues muchisimas monedas como para tener que pagar, puedes comprar tu primer pokemon antes de la primera hora de juego... lo recomiendo

    Don't listen to all the MOBA fans review bombing Pokemon Unite. It's a fun game and it's f2p, so it's bound to please many a Pokemon fan. Sure it has some p2w elements and needs some optimisation to gameplay, graphics and UI but definitely worth trying.

    Overall, Pokémon UNITE is a MOBA with a lot of potential. It’s already great as a casual game with friends, but I believe with some tweaking to Zapdos and removal of the “pay for held item upgrades” option, a strong competitive MOBA lives in Pokémon UNITE. Until then, it’s hard to call it much more than an above-average entry in the crowded MOBA space.

    Pokémon Unite is the first attempt at creating a MOBA with the pocket monsters – and I must admit it’s a successful one. The game is fast and intense, but also easy to get a grip on. I don’t expect it to take the esports scene by storm, but it’s very enjoyable and works great in a doctor’s waiting room or on the bus. As for me, I can’t force myself to stop playing Pokémon Unite and hope the developers will keep updating it. [10/2021, p.61]

    Pokémon Unite's potential is undermined by its balancing, and might not have enough to offer either of its target audiences.
