While the new free-to-play game created by TiMi Studios in partnership with Nintendo, has no upfront cost, there are purchasable bundles in Pokemon Unite. Pokemon Unite is now available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. Is Pokemon Unite: Pay to Win Abhimannu Das Updated On:, 03:17 AM The release of Pokemon Unite has lead many to question if the game is a pay to win title. Next: Pokémon Unite Roster: Every Playable Pokémon In The Game Pokémon Unite has only just begun its time in the hands of players, but if the problems highlighted by Not_Nathan_Drake are significant enough to dissuade a large portion of the potential player base, it will be a short lifespan. Many players feel that should not be an option when it comes to titles that rely on competition between players. There seems to be a growing issue where some of these purchasable assets drastically affect the outcome of games. Sometimes, however, free-to-play games have in-game items for purchase that can drastically affect a player's performance and these scenarios are considered pay-to-win. Often times this is done through avenues such as cosmetics or character purchases, which are just some of the options available in Pokémon Unite according to Not_Nathan_Drake. Please be VERY mindful of the predatory monetisation in Pokemon Unite from NintendoSwitchĬontrary to their designation, free-to-play mobile games are some of the biggest moneymakers in the video game industry. Supposedly the only way to speed up that progress, and subsequently make players more powerful, is to purchase certain in-game items using real-world currency. Not_Nathan_Drake ended up highly recommending players stay away from the new title until some of these design choices change. According to the Reddit user, the free-to-play title uses five monetization strategies when most other free-to-play games only use about two. One of the more egregious practices according to Not_Nathan_Drake is how the title plays during the welcome campaign compared to the rest of the game. The Redditor admitted to having fun during Pokémon Unite's opening, but progress became significantly slower even though they were playing the same way they had been during the welcome campaign.
Reddit user Not_Nathan_Drake made an extensive post on the site detailing what they consider to be the "predatory monetization" practices present in Pokémon Unite.
