Pokémon Unite: skins for the Pokémon

LOL: Wild Rift is not the only mobile MOBA making headlines. Pokémon Unite, based on the world of little monsters, also promises to quickly become a phenomenon. Currently in its test phase in China, the community is closely following its evolution, with the introduction of skins Pokémon Unite. This latest revelation is likely to cause a lot of ink to flow and heated debate. What is your opinion? For or against colourful and original versions of Pokémon ?

It should be noted that skins Pokémon Unite will not be limited to colour changes. They will introduce various costumes (hat, cape, scarf, but also diving mask or tricorn). In any case, beta testers should enjoy discovering the many possibilities.

Skins Pokémon Unity: for or against?

There is a real debate among Pokémon fans regarding skins Pokémon Unite. Purists prefer the classic versions and hate to see the original work being distorted. They tolerate the shiny versions that are present in the games, but do not particularly appreciate the untimely colour changes or the crazy outfits. Without proving them particularly right, we must admit that a Garchomp with a mask and a snorkel is a bit special.

On the contrary, other fans of Pokémon love the creativity of the universe. This second camp also points out that for several generations, some Pokémon have changed their appearance according to their region. This is notably the case of Ninetales from Alola. He has nothing to do with the basic fire fox, as he is an Ice/Fairy type. The skins would then fit in the same spirit.

A smart business model?

The MOBA developed by Tencent should logically be free-to-play, to attract a maximum number of players. The skins Pokémon Unite, in addition to pleasing players, should guarantee the Chinese giant substantial revenues. These cosmetic contents will not be free and will require microtransactions. This business model has already proven its worth, particularly on the mobile game market or in MOBAs such as League of Legends. Pokémon Unite is at the crossroads!
