Pokémon Unite is an almost perfect game, although it can be improved if The Pokémon Company knows how to take advantage of its possibilities. In fact, the future content will determine whether it will be another success of the popular franchise.
Pokémon Unite is a fun way to spend your time despite these frustrations. The game eats away the hours of my day as I reassuringly say to myself, “Just one more match.” Battles play out with the spectacle that the Pokémon series is known for, and with so many abilities to choose from, no match feels the same as the last. The game’s simple mechanics and recognizable characters make for an approachable MOBA experience; and with a potential catalog of nearly 900 Pokémon to pick from, my hopes are high for the future of Pokémon Unite.
Pokémon Unite is a superb game and also a terrifying micropayment store. While it remains up in the air whether we will have more generous challenges and events in the future, and even a revamp of the reward system, there is no doubt that greed makes worse a MOBA for Nintendo Switch that playably is impeccable.
Pokémon Unite features simple objectives and an addictive gameplay loop. Some mechanics and certain Pokémon require balancing, but that's how it often goes with online games.
It is difficult to recommend Pokémon Unite to 'free' players unless they're truly in it for the long haul. The gameplay is engaging, with a large roster of Pokémon that can be tried out in offline modes, but owning iconic Pokémon such as Lucario or Garchomp to play in Ranked will require an immense amount of Aoes Coins or paid-for Aeos Gems. A lot of joy is to be found in Quick Matches due to daily map rotations, but ultimately Unite is too geared toward grabbing people’s purses to win games rather than providing an even playing field for everyone. Players that don't pay will likely find frustration in constantly matching with others who have spent money; it's worth keeping that in mind before committing to Pokémon Unite.
While Pokémon Unite offers a new way for fans to enjoy Pokémon battles together, the frustrating limitations created to encourage microtransactions make gameplay less about having fun and more about completing missions for currency. While it may appeal to fans of mobile app-style games with a similar structure, those who want the ability to experience everything Pokémon Unite has to offer without spending money will need to sink a large amount of time into grinding before having the means to truly access most features. With improvements to the ability to earn currency and a better item level system tied to use in battle instead of paid upgrades, Pokémon Unite would be a more enjoyable experience for players.
Pokemon Unite es un juego "free to play" disfrutable pero con bastantes problemas. Tras haber jugado las dos primeras temporadas del juego, he podido observar en la jugabilidad de este MOBA una gran influencia del azar para ganar cada partida, siendo injusto el equipo vencedor de la partida en numerosas ocasiones. Zapdos, el boss que sale en los últimos dos minutos de la partida, está muy desbalanceado, y este enemigo provoca que el equipo que le da el último golpe es el que suele acabar ganando la partida, lo que provoca que los otros 8 minutos anteriores que dura la partida sean prácticamente innecesarios para la victoria. Otro punto negativo a destacar es la cantidad de tipos de divisas hay en el juego y los incentivos que hay constantemente a comprar gemas (además de los precios abusivos de algunas skins). No considero que el juego sea un pay to win pero sí que hay cierta ventaja para quienes pagan por gemas, ya que se pueden potenciar los objetos equipados. Además, muchos pokémon nuevos que han ido saliendo repiten movimientos de pokémon que ya estaban en el juego, siendo esto poco original y repetitivo. Cabe destacar que actualmente solo hay tres modos de juego, muy pocos para un juego de este tipo. Habiendo resaltado los problemas más importantes, el juego también tiene puntos positivos como su divertida y simple jugabilidad (lo que hace el juego mucho más accesible que otros de este género), la cantidad de pokémon que hay (que está aumentando considerablemente con el tiempo), la comunidad sana del juego (gracias al sistema de puntos de deportividad y al chat simplificado), el sistema de elección de movimientos al subir de nivel, la corta duración de las partidas y el rendimiento técnico (que suele funcionar correctamente). En Switch va generalmente bien en el apartado técnico (en móvil depende del que se use) y en el apartado artístico no destaca demasiado. La música no está mal pero se repite mucho y acaba cansando. Recomiendo el juego a quienes quieran jugar a un MOBA muy simplificado y a quienes les guste Pokémon. 6,6/10

Pokemon Unite is a free game almost like the League of Legend system. It is first accessible and remains visually beautiful. Unfortunately, we would have liked more of a Pokemon franchise than a LoL-like. That said, it remains pleasant to play and contrary to what we can say, pay-to win is not too present for this game without too much ambition.
For what it's worth the gameplay is alright, not good but I didn't ****, I just feel like once one team started winning there was no way of coming back, also all the pay to win stuff yadda yadda.
