  • The Pokémon Company developed together with Tencent MOBA game.
  • Pokémon Unite was the Fans recently introduced.
  • Records were broken, but for the wrong reasons.

Tokyo, Japan – Not long ago the first saw Pokémon game in 1996 the light of the world. A short time later, the idea of ​​imaginative beings should turn out to be a revolution in the gaming industry. The creator Satoshi Tajiri would never have expected such a world success that started slowly in 1996. Inspired by childhood creativity, capturing insects and other small animals from nature and letting them fight each other in the form of drawings, the concept for finally developed Pokémon – a franchise that is indispensable these days. The Pokémon Company, which develops the video games, brings and supplies comparatively many games from the franchise Fans with first class entertainment. But the recently presented Pokémon Unitethat one League of Legends-Klon comes close now breaks wrong ones Records.-

Pokémon Unite: MOBA not only breaks traditions, but also unwanted records

The franchise Pokémon is cult. The famous and popular ones have been around for almost 24 years Pokémon games from Nintendo published and distributed. Since then the lively franchise Fans all over the world and continues to inspire with new surprises that are not uncommon Records break. The developer Pokémon Company supplies the millions Fans regularly with new content, be it Games of the studio itself, animations from partner companies or trading cards for lovers.

The published Pokémon GO app has had incredible success, broke Sales records and is still present today. By the end of 2018, the mobile game had been downloaded over a billion times. Now posed Pokémon Company his latest prank, which appears like a League of Legends clone. The Fans are anything but enthusiastic about Pokémon Unite and vent their anger. This has the Pokémon Company probably not expected. Because behind the announced MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena game) is a lot of work. Already announced in the summer of last year Pokémon Company a collaboration with TiMi Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent Games. Together, the companies developed the “next big one Pokémon game“.

But this came with the Fans anything but good. The goal of Pokémon Unite is similar to classic Pokémon gamesbecause the Fans need their Pokémon evolve, but the genre does not appear to be the franchise Japan to fit. This one Record probably doesn’t want any Game studio. Two teams, each consisting of five members, compete against each other. Before the battle begins, the player chooses Pokémon-Fan one that works best on its own Pokémonyou want to fight with. There must be so many in the arena Pokémon be captured as possible, it must be opposing Pokémon turned off and your own Pokémon be upgraded. Ultimately, the winner is the team that got the most points from these tasks.

Pokémon Unite: Pokémon-style MOBA is not well received by fans

With this idea, the Pokémon Company probably a leg itself, because the video uploaded to YouTube received from the Fans more downvotes than upvotes. With over 850,000 views Pokémon Unite win only 19,000 likes and is overshadowed by almost 55,000 dislikes. The League of Legends clone doesn’t seem to be working as well as planned. With this failure, even before the MOBA was published, the broke Pokémon Company one Recordno one Game maker wishes. When Pokémon Unite for the Nintendo Switch and as a mobile game, has not yet been revealed. Whether that Fans still with the unconventional Pokémon game befriended remains to be seen.

A creative fan shows how well Pokémon goes well with Animal Crossing New Horizons.
