It\u2019s coming first to Nintendo Switch in July 2021, followed by a release on mobile devices in September. Presumably, it\u2019ll be released on both iOS and Android, but specific platforms weren\u2019t confirmed today.<\/p>\n<p id=\"B10MAj\">In case you can\u2019t decide which platform you want to play the game on, don\u2019t fret too much, as <em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/em> will support cross-play between Nintendo\u2019s console and mobile devices. The Pok\u00e9mon Company announced that the game will also support cross-progression, which can be enabled by signing in with either your Pok\u00e9mon Trainer Club account or Nintendo Account on the devices that you want to use.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SFCoJW\">The game will be free to start, with optional in-game purchases available, including the paid \u201cAeos gems\u201d currency. You\u2019ll get Aeos coins and tickets just from playing the game, which can unlock cosmetics and other items. There will be season battle passes that you can level up over time to earn in-game rewards. Those paid Aeos gems I mentioned earlier will let you pay to get rewards in the battle pass if you don\u2019t want to put the time in.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3nynjC\">Like my colleague Andrew Webster said last year when the game was announced, a strategy-laced <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> game might seem like a strange combination, and it\u2019s splashing onto the scene years after MOBAs like <em>League of Legends<\/em> and <em>Dota 2<\/em> exploded in popularity. Yet, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/em> has a familiar cast of characters, and that might be enough to open the genre up to a new wave of fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Unite, the team-based, five vs. five strategy game co-developed with Tencent\u2019s TiMi Studio&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[59,38,57,61,58,60],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1448"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2026,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions\/2026"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
