Many people aren’t happy with the recent announcement of Pokémon Unite, but the official Pokémon YouTube channel doesn’t want you to know that. Both the presentation as well as the game’s trailer have been disliked a disproportionate amount of times, and many of those dislikes appear to be vanishing into thin air.
The presentation itself reached over 160k dislikes in less than a day, but those dislikes were suddenly rolled back to 134k. Similarly, the game’s trailer currently sits at 25k dislikes, although many of the top comments point out that the trailer had previously held over 75k dislikes.
Even with the deleted dislikes, both videos have clearly received a negative reception. The League of Legends-inspired, Pokémon-themed MOBA is far from what many players expected when the presentation had promised a big announcement, but the disappointment stems from more than just the type of game that was revealed.
Pokémon Unite openly advertises itself as being “free-to-start”, a phrase that many associate with an unapologetic use of microtransactions. That, and the fact that Pokémon is partnering with Tencent Games – a company known for squeezing every nickel out of its mobile gaming base – has led many to believe that Unite is a shameless cash grab.
This fear is made even worse by the game’s trailer. After celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2016, Pokémon has shown a trend of pulling on the nostalgia strings in its game announcements. The trick worked great at first, but became more and more disingenuous with each new game.
Now, playing to the fond memories of past Pokémon games while introducing a spinoff (that is completely unrelated) is borderline insulting. Fans of the series aren’t buying it anymore, which is why the reception for Pokémon Unite has been less than welcoming.
It’s also worth noting that players have been waiting quite a while for a remake of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but those games don’t seem to be coming anytime soon. Although the Pokémon fan base has developed a reputation for being toxic as of late, the frustration feels a bit more warranted this time than it may have been in the past.
