As you probably already know, the Pokemon World Championship 2022 was held last week. On this occasion, the championship also offered a tournament Pokemon United, the MOBA that has won over fans of the series on Nintendo Switch and mobile phones Thus, We recently had the chance to speak with its producer, Masaki Hoshino Pokemon United by The Pokemon Company, in this title.
Like other spin-offs, Pokemon United It’s not Game Freak’s responsibility, but this time Tencent Timmy is at the helm of the project, but the Pokemon Company plays a role in the title. Thus, We asked Hoshino what the relationship process is like with developers from China. Here’s what he told us:
“It’s a collaborative relationship. Sometimes we think about what new Pokemon to introduce, and we present them to our partners. At the same time, our partners are very versatile in MOBA, offering their own experience and suggestions for new features, for example. It’s something we constantly collaborate on and we work together.”
On the other hand, in the same interview, Hoshino was asked about the complicated work The competitive side balance that it offers us Pokemon United, By business, where we can spend real money to get skins, a season pass and more. This is what he commented:
“Pokémon, as a company, is not necessarily purely business-oriented in this game. We always have the player in mind, who enjoys the title as our priority”.
This makes a lot of sense when we consider that Tencent TiMi is in charge of the monetization system, and This goes hand in hand with what Hoshino told us about the relationship between The Pokemon Company and the Chinese company.
