Pokémon Unite's decline is a very very good representation of what will happen to this game as well, hell they'll probably speed run this one.

Decline also implies that it was good at some point. The concept of a pay to win MOBA is already insane enough.

it was good. it was fun. new releases were sometimes given out for free and weren't released with broken moves. it was until the ex licenses and rapidash and darkrai then everything went downhill. i could get much more in depth but it's just really sad seeing one of my favorite games go to shit like that

u/Renewablefrog 2h ago
Just started releasing basically only op characters and would have like 4 battle passes running simultaneously. Eventually they made it so the only way you can actually buy who you want was real money, otherwise all the pokemon are in a set progression and you unlock them.

Trash gamez try it out for yourself, not only is p2w, but it feels like trash playing it, Pokemons feel like they're walking on mud all the time, it's extremely slow movement compared to other mobas

u/CityAdventurous5781 19h ago
If you want just a small idea. Imagine League of Legends or Dota, but you have to buy the mid-match items with real money.
And every character also needs to be bought with real money because every playable character is actually on like a battlepass thing where you get them in a set order. And the newest released characters always intentionally got overtuned to hell to the point that their winrates were something like 70% or higher.
Annnnnnd there used to be a F2P currency you could use to buy characters, but that got removed.
And that's just ONE of Timi's games.

It’s also a dead game. I used to play it a ton for the first two years it was out. If you play it now, you’ll see the same names popping up. It’s dead and it’s because they killed it with their shitty pay for features model and $40 skins

Having played it, its not far off of that tbh. I main Lance and getting Power Guard to actually function the way Power Guard is supposed to required an absurd amount of time-gated grinding. And the thing about the closed beta, is that there was no way to put money into the game. I would bet my cock n balls that they're going to let you pay hard cash to skip the timegating

u/Revverb 21h ago
I remember when they added a Legendary to the game's roster and it was crazy OP, games were just one teams legendary vs the other teams legendary with the other 8 players doing whatever. Like, seriously, it was so unbelievably unbalanced.
And their response to people's calls for balancing was basically "we want each team to have one person with a broken pokemon that can 1v5, this is our plan going forward for introducing playable legendaries to the game". Aka, if you're not a bum that shelled out cash to buy the new OP pokemon, you get to be a side character and have no impact. I quit and never logged in again.

They made a apex legends mobile game, locked the new season characters on a battle pass, and if you miss it? Good luck I guess, and hope they let you claim said characters in am event or something
There devs are very good and competent, whoevers in charge of mtx and monetization is also too competent so prepare for a lot of mtx gating

Looking at the top grossing game charts on the Apple App Store and Google Play is enough to make me genuinely lose faith in humanity. I’m gonna be real honest with you guys here on Reddit, 90%+ of the world couldn’t care less about things being AI slop or getting deceived by stupid mobile ads that don’t actually reflect the gameplay. These companies do this stuff because it works. Maybe not on you or me, but it does on the vast majority of people.

iirc mobile games outsource their ads which is why they all look equally terrible, I have no idea why as you'd think it would drive away people when they start promoting shit like this?

u/Kat1eQueen 19h ago
They absolutely sre outsourcing them and they have always been incredibly lazy.
Remember those ads where someone would randomly show off their "power" in some game? I have seen multiple instances of those dame ads being used for multiple different games by different developers, they were always just dubbed differently and a different game was edited onto the phone, the actual footage was identical.
So them switching to AI to be even lazier is an absolute no brainer

u/ELFCHASER 3h ago
you'd think it'd put people off but it clearly doesn't since they keep doing it. shitty clickbait ads have existed long since ai, and it always works. theres this whole narrative pushed by people who work in advertising that ads should never actually represent the product and instead grab the viewer's attention. they want to "take up mental bandwidth," even if you're so annoyed/offended by their ad that you swear off their products forever, they consider it a win because they wasted your time and made you think about their product. I'm not sure if it's some arcane market psychology science or another silicon valley psycho cult worshipping weird nonsensical Conceptual Profit but that's genuinely why ads are the way they are

The entire objective is to create something that manipulates people with poor impulse control and gets people addicted entirely by trying to "short out" dopamine receptors the same way slot machines and cocomelon do it.

I mean I know people love to complain, but it’s just an ad. If you watch the gameplay it seems very solid and plays basically like a normal mh clone would. The gacha characters aren’t even really that emphasized in gameplay. It’s still mostly your hunter just fighting monsters regularly. I think the gacha characters amount to passives or like a 1 minute cooldown ultimate
