The founder of AppMagic, Maxim Samorukov, in conversation with App2Top.ru comments that “Pokemon” has overtaken hypercausal titles and social networks in terms of the number of downloads.

Pokémon UNITE is a MOBA game developed by TiMi Studio Group. The player must choose one of the five types of Pokemon presented and take part in 5 vs 5 battles to score the most points. Initially, the project was exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

After coming to the console, the game has already managed to get negative reviews for its pay-to-win system, which is built on a protracted grind.
