What we know so far about the Pokemon MOBA game
Developed by video game giants The Pokémon Company andTencent’sTiMi Studios, this Pokemon MOBA game functions slightly differently than the MOBA games we’re used to.
The objective of the game is to score more points than the opposing team within the ten-minute time limit.
Teams score points by gaining control over a capturable area, similar toLeague of Legends’now long-gone Dominion game mode.
The game will be set on Aeos Island and will have a total of 19 playable Pokemon at launch, including Gen 1 favorites like Charizard, Snorlax, Venusaur, Gengar, and of course Pikachu.
