Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> as a series has about as many spin-off titles in its library as it does actual creatures in the Pok\u00e9dex at this point. From the fan-favorite gems of the Pok\u00e9mon Pinball titles to the recent entries of Pok\u00e9mon Caf\u00e9 Mix<\/a>\u00a0and Pok\u00e9mon Smile<\/a>, Pikachu, Charizard, and more have had plenty of opportunities to get out of their Pok\u00e9 Balls and entertain audiences in new, often bizarre ways.<\/p>\n

In keeping with that tradition, Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/a> is next up to try and spin the classic series out of its RPG roots and is throwing those classic creatures in the MOBA arena with all the lane combat one could hope for. Fans will be able to pick from a plethora of Pok\u00e9s to form a team set on taking out NPC characters and humans alike to gain orbs to score at enemy-controlled points and win the round.\u00a0But does just throwing Greninja into a new game genre equal success?<\/p>\n

I brought in the experts to answer that exact question. Join Alex Van Aken and Liana Ruppert (who have untold hour counts in League of Legends<\/a>) as they break down the latest footage from the Japanese beta of Pok\u00e9mon Unite and discuss whether or not this game will be loved by the hardcore MOBA fans of the world or if it will be best enjoyed by those looking to enter an otherwise intimidating playspace for the very first time (like yours truly).<\/p>\n

If you’re excited to battle it out with your friends in Pok\u00e9mon Unite, you don’t have long to wait. The hard release date is still unannounced, but the new game will launch in July exclusively on Nintendo Switch before making its way over to mobile platforms later this year! For more on the MOBA, be sure to check out our look at everything you need to know<\/a> about the game before its upcoming summer release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
