Pokémon Rumble Rush is an island-hopping, monster-capturing romp for iOS and Android

With the release of the (surprisingly fun) movie Detective Pikachu, Pokémon is once again in the popular consciousness. And license holder The Pokémon Company is trying to capitalize on that by releasing the free-to-play Pokémon Rumble Rush for mobile devices.

Pokémon is a huge global franchise that spans different mediums: games, anime, books, and over a dozen animated films. But the mobile games are usually simpler than the role-playing entries on Nintendo consoles. Rumble Rush is the latest in the Rumble spin-off franchise, one that originally started on the Wii. Other Pokémon mobile games include the popular Pokémon Go (it brought in $65 million in April alone), Pokémon Duel, Pokémon Quest, and Pokémon: Magikarp Jump.
