Pokémon Masters comes to iOS and Android this summer

Pokémon Masters is an upcoming mobile game from DeNA that is releasing this summer for iOS and Android. It will focus on Pokémon battles against trainers made famous throughout the series, like Brock, Misty, Blue, and other gym leaders; Elite Four members; and notable characters.

Yu Sasaki, the game’s producer, explained in a new promotional video that the game takes place on an artificial island called Pasio. Characters are competing in a tournament on the island. Each trainer is partnered with a Pokémon, and these duos group up with other pairs for 3-vs.-3 battles. Both Pokémon and trainers can use abilities in the fights, which focus more on cooldowns than the traditional turn-based battles of the franchise.
