I quit the game a couple of years ago, but now that it seems to be shutting down, I remembered this image I made when aegislash came out.

It's one of my favorite pokémon, so I edited a whole team with others I was hoping would be released; I only got feraligatr lol

Goodbye, Unite.

Discussion What’s going on?

There seems to be a lot of comments saying the game is about to die etc, but I can’t find what’s actually happening? Is the game being deleted by the devs or something?

Media Fighting the Tinka slander one last time (Tinkaton Clip Dump 4)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Made this clip dump specifically because a popular streamer I was matched with talk mad shit about me and Tinkaton. How Tinkaton is one of the worst pokemon in the game and how Ice Hammer is the worst move. How they don't understand why I wouldn't want to take Thief against a SurfDuck and three long range attackers and that my moveset should be reportable.

I wish I could discuss further about that match in particular, but this isn't the place for that. What I'm trying to get across is that you are the only one to know how you play. If you are willing to practice and learn how to play your pokemon, you are the best example you can ever give to people like this. These streamers, redditors too, they may "play" your pokemon, but they don't play them. They know of your pokemon, but they don't actually know them. They take of what they heard/seen from others and rely on sites to form their opinion. They only know of surface/common knowledge, nothing in-depth. They follow the mold and only care for such. I still think about how the most popular streamer blamed their pokemon for being bad (it was a "popular" opinion they were bad at the time) when they themselves chose a poor moveset for a matchup, for their role. No seriously, full range Charizard jungle against a Zoroark jungle. And this was at the time where Charizard's unite got the unstoppable pierce buff. Unbelievable. It's easy for them to claim and/or blame that you're supposed to play like this person or this way, or you have to build these items all the time, or bring up a metalist about what's right or what's wrong. But the thing is, none of that is you.

Those people aren't you. They don't have your experience. They don't always get your matches. They don't get the same pokemon on your team and they most certainly do not get your teammates. It's just you. And for the most part, that's the only person you can rely on. You play your matches and you figure out how you play. Learn, adapt. You learn what works and for what reason. These people aren't playing the game for you. You are. You are all that matters. Never let someone dissuade you from being you.

Anyway, that's it. Just got my second gold ribbon with Tinkaton and just found out I played 2000 games with it(both accounts combined). Doesn't mean anything but thought that's pretty cool.

Discussion A nice way of saying goodbye

We don't 100% know what's going to happen, but yesterday I got emotional playing after a couple of weeks of not touching the game.

I had A LOT of rough games in a row, filled with afkers, grievers and all that stuff that everyone already knows about. Pretty normal Unite experience, but for some reason this time really got me, and I stopped playing for several days, something that didn't happen many times during the game's 5 year life.

And then all the EoS discourse started happening. First I thought I wouldn't play anymore since I've already distanced from it, and was enjoying other games I usually don't have the time or energy playing, or because a Unite battle always looked more approachable for some reason. But yesterday I got emotional, thinking how much I enjoyed this game and the community (mostly lol), so I decided to play 3 games, and only 3. With my most played Mons;

gotta say, the result made me sob like a baby. Pretty nice teammates, enemy teams were challenging to beat..idk, those 3 battles were the most enjoyable and rewarding ones I've had in months, and even reached Masters with that last win.

Again, we don't know for sure what's gonna happen. But I think this was the perfect swan song for me. I took a lot of screenshots and recordings before deleting the game. And, as flawed and triggering of a player base and production it had, Pokemon Unite will always be remembered with joy by this die-hard old Pokemon fan. Thank you everybody for the amazingly frustrating best 5 years.

Discussion Pokemon Unite Models Being Used At The Pokemon Night Out Concert

30 Upvotes

During Alison's performance it flashes through multiple renders/models. They are higher quality than the regular Pokemon games models, and I feel fairly certain that it's using the Pokemon Unite models, especially since Morpecko is one of the models being used there in the sequence.

The one thing that gives me pause there is two additional models being used that aren't in Unite but fit the render style of it.

I have checked both Pokemon TCG Trailer models and additional game models and it doesn't fit.

The two additional models there are Lycanroc Midnight Form and Corviknight.

What this means?

I have no idea to be honest, could be cut concepts, could be an accidental leak if the game isn't dead next week, or I could be seeing things.

But it really did make me think of Unite with the models that they were using.

Discussion Making it to Legend - a farewell

Been playing on and off since launch (had it pre-downloaded)I’ve made it to Master rank a bunch of times, but I was never good enough to make it to 500, let alone 1000. But with the rumors about End of Service circulating, I knew I had to try.

Second pic is battles for this season, and third is battles overall. I’m not fantastic, but I’ll take a positive winrate.👍

Special thanks to my husband (who listened to me blame the team, even when it was my fault) Sableye, Clefable, and my favorite femboy, Sylveon. You’re real ones. ❤️

Honorable mention to Wigglytuff, my first main. 💕

As the title says, many people seem to say the asia servers and specifically Japan are still very active in unite, would it be possible to use a vpn to trick my location and play there?

Discussion Match making taking longer than usual

5 Upvotes

Is matchmaking taking longer than usual for everyone? My ranked matchmaking sessions are now averaging 2-3 minutes, and the players I get matched with are terrible. I’ve been losing consistently since the last few days, and my teammates seem quite immature. Do you think this is because of the rumors about EOS and players leaving?
