New Game on Mobile! Pokemon Duel!

[Crossroads Bulletin]

It is time to enjoy another Pokemon game on your mobile phone!

Pokemon has recently release a new mobile phone game call Pokemon Duel! This game allows players to move digital figures on a board and attack other figures as they enter their opponent’s territory.
Below is a description of the game.

The Pokémon Company International announced today that Pokémon Duel is now available for download at no charge on the App Store and on Google Play.
Pokémon Duel is an exciting mobile strategy game in which fans deploy digital Pokémon figures and battle based on strategic moves to reach a goal in the opponent’s territory. Pokémon Duel gameplay details follow:

• By strategically assembling their team of six Pokémon, each with its own strengths and a set number of steps it can take, players can take different routes to rush toward the goal or block the opponent’s Pokémon from advancing.

• When two Pokémon from opposing teams meet, a battle commences, and the players spin each Pokémon’s Data Disk to see which Attack each Pokémon will use.

• In addition to moving Pokémon and battling, players will also be able to use a plate at the start of their turn. These plates have various effects, including swapping positions of Pokémon in play and giving their Pokémon various battle enhancements for that turn.

• The player who reaches their goal first wins the duel.

Players can duel against real opponents at any time by tapping League Match on the Home screen. They will then be automatically matched, according to skill, with other players around the world.* A variety of items, including Pokémon figures, can be earned through Time Boosters that are unlocked with every League victory. Winning League matches also increases the player’s rating and provides a chance to get different Pokémon figures as they compete in higher-level leagues.
More plates and Boosters can be purchased at the Shop within the app. Materials collected from purchased Boosters can be traded for desired Pokémon. In-game currency known as Gems can be purchased at the Shop or earned in several ways, such as by playing Pokémon Duel daily and clearing missions.

Haven't heard anything about this game... is it supposed to be good? I don't have the right kind of phone anyway xD

It's based on the old Pokemon TFG that was discontinued after just a couple years and the app was released in Japan a year ago as Pokemon Comaster. I downloaded it last night and I've only played a bit but it's pretty fun even though it has some standard f2p time-gated stuff. The game has a lot of RNG but you can significantly reduce the RNG by leveling up your figures to reduce their miss chance and by having good strategy while setting up your board state. In my starting booster I got Sliggoo and I've pretty much won all of my matches with its swap attack which has been kinda fun/cheesy.

I've heard about the game, but I not much other than the name and the battle style. I saw it previewed not long ago and downloaded it just for the heck of it yesterday. I'll give it a try later today though and see how it is.

I heard about this yesterday via Facebook (before this post). xD Played a bit yesterday, and it seems alright, but nothing special so far. And yeah, a LOT of RNG. Considering my luck I'd rather not play anything that relies heavily on that. :p
