POKEMON UNITE
Next up, we have Pokemon UNITE, a mega-multiplayer online battle arena style game, similar to other games like League of Legends: Wild Rift and such, though I don't play games like those very often, so I'm not totally certain how they all compare. Basically, you play as an unseen player character, selecting Pokemon to battle for you across a big battlefield, each competing for a select goal and such.
Your playable options currently include Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Pikachu, Alolan Raichu, Clefable, Alolan Ninetales, Wigglytuff, Meowth, Psyduck, Machamp, Galarian Rapidash, Slowbro, Dodrio, Gengar, Mr. Mime, Gyarados, Lapras, Vaporeon, Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Dragonite, Mewtwo, Mew, Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Azumarill, Espeon, Umbreon, Scizor, Blissey, Suicune, Tyranitar, Ho-Oh, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Sableye, Absol, Metagross, Latias, Latios, Empoleon, Garchomp, Lucario, Leafeon, Glaceon, Mamoswine, Darkrai, Crustle, Zoroark, Chandelure, Delphox, Greninja, Talonflame, Aegislash, Sylveon, Goodra, Trevenant, Hoopa, Decidueye, Tsareena, Comfey, Mimikyu, Dhelmise, Buzzwole, Zeraora, Cinderace, Inteleon, Greedent, Eldegoss, Cramorant, Sirfetch'd, Alcremie, Falinks, Duraludon, Dragapult, Zacian, Urshifu, Meowscarada, Pawmot, Armarouge, Ceruledge, Tinkaton, and Miraidon, all filling Attacker, All-Rounder, Speedster, Defender, and Supporter roles depending on your playstyle.
The game takes place on a region called Aeos Island. The different stadiums for the matches are: Remoat Stadium, Auroma Stadium, Shivre City, Mer Stadium, and Theia Sky Ruins. Mer Stadium is kinda the one I always picture in my head for the game. Other cast members include Professor Phorus and her assistant Erbie, but there's not really much distinct gameplay I can ascribe to them, so they're mostly just here.
