I don't get why though There isn't even anything to do in that open world which is already likely very small If there was an extra feature like a Pokemon battle with others in that open world I could see the hype Right now it seems just wandering around , doing almost nothing is all it has
I didn't get a discount on my PS3 even though I had a PS2. Whales can afford and would afford to replay nostalgia especially if noobs can't afford it yet.
"We have this thing that we're all exited about, but we actually don't know if we're going to be able to get to use it at all." - Possibly the most relatable statement I've ever heard from Jake.
The thing is, splatoon shows that the switch can handle stuff like this. When it fails, it's due to nintedo online. Also, they actually optimise there game probably.
It's true, but it's not because Switch can't handle it - it's that it's so poorly optimized it just chugs. Switch 2 should help to a degree, but it really depends largely on how optimized the developer can make it
The open world aspect is meh to me, I just want to play the Pokemon match and not walking around to see people showing off their cosmetics. It better not bump the requirement of the mobile version and makes its FPS worse.
The only thing I don't like is the 500 point mode and the special things you get in the match like insta score. I'm fine if they merge but as long as they keep all that stuff as separate game modes I'm fine
My concern is how Arena of Valor / Honor of Kings was handled. Honor of Kings is the Chinese version of Arena of Valor. Arena of Valor was abandoned and they even eventually released a global version of the Chinese version. Same situation, same type of game.... same companies. My only hope is that because it is the Pokemon IP they might make an effort to merge them or carry over something..
Ngl it was weird when I knew AOV is the global version for HOK. AOV did merge years ago so I don't understand why they won't close the game and port everything to HOK global. They could have AOV + HOK playerbase. I know AOV have some loyal playerbase. Sad to see they got shafted.
I remeber when i first got the game, they had questionnaires. They wanted feedback, and i recommended making the game like a player walk around sandbox, and irs crazy that they actually did that for the chinese version. I literally recommend this openworld idea the start of the game glad to see it was made into a thing
Maybe I will talk about some changes of mons in the chinese ver. that I dislike: First of all, machamp unite. That change already exist in chinese beta before the machamp unite rework on global. And I think we already know why its bad. Secondly, charizard unite. Charizard unite in chinese version is just the slam, without few second of fly effect after. Its just feels underwhelming. And then talonflame fly and unite. Fly in chinese ver. Is a dash move. So you dash first, then you got that fly invicibility for like, half of the global ver. duration. And its automatic. So you cannot choose land earlier like the global ver. I feel like its a huge nerf to talon. The length talon unite move in chinese is only half of global. And you can go through wall. For me, the go-through-wall-buff is not really necessary. And lastly, gengar dream eater. In chinese version, you can stack two dream eater, and its not a skillshot anymore. They change it just like sylveon baby doll. And with that, you cannot get reset from the dream eater. Even tho the most satisfying part of dream eater is the reset. That's all the changes that I remember, witch I got from some vids about chinese ver. On the other hand, there is also rework that i like, for example wiggly roll out and talon flame charge. My point is, I would love to see some feature from chinese in our global version. But to merge both version, I dont think that's a good idea.
@@bubuxviv yeah 500 point to win means all the back cappers won't learn a lesson and instead back capping would increase during important team fight which would be ok if Pokemon unite players have brains but half don't have that so they would leave the defense on 1/2 and rest would try to goal without ever effectively scoring.
@@pokechannel9758 yeah that too but its just makes the game so less exiting for e sports..like on those close battles on a tournament waiting for the score board to see who won is just so exiting and imagine if it ties ....thats just so much more exiting than 500 point mode that doesnt even have comeback mechanics and very less strategic depth
Idk if it is a switch problem or not. Pokemon quest looks so much better on the switch than on phone. This game is the first game the dev did on the switch I believe.
it certainly looks cool, but I really don't like the 500 point mode, it is missing so many things that make the global ranked mode so exciting. Lack of a big endgame objective and teamfight is the major one, it really just looks like an updated version of mer stadium, like a snowbally quick match mode. I will happily play 500 point mode as a quick match but I will be extremely disappointed if they just get rid of the 10 minute ranked games.
Jake I feel the same about not wanting to see the better side. Pocket TCG has reminded me what a proper game feels like which actually respects me as a player or consumer. I'm afraid to see how much better it is if the Devs cared about it more. Great Pocket content btw glad to see you pop off
i NEED this version of unite, i've been casually playing since Day 1 of the game with some friends steadily getting into it or dropping off cause it feels too "samey" That hub and elements that changes how functions work in-game is the spice we need internationally! 🎉
I’m definitely glad that there will be a lot of cool changes, but I think they need to find a nice middle ground of the best of both versions, like maybe being able to play either mode in a more casual mode, but only having one as ranked.
the gloal mode is much better and entertaining for e sports ..much strategic and fun...its either coexist of global mode ranked for me..i hate that new version
I don't understand the hype around the open world lobby. There doesn't seem to be much to do rather than just walk and it would be fun exploring it for like 2-3 times but it would get boring quickly.
When I accidentally pass a Pokemon I have with a battle pass skin, the Switch explodes. So imagine this... yes, the console is clearly the main problem.
If they release this globally I'm not sure it won't kill the mobile market % of the playerbase. It's hard to imagine even up to date brand new phones will be able to handle this
They most definitely could. This hardly has anything that mobile hardware of today can't handle, even for mid-range ones. The switch on the other hand...yeah, it wouldn't be able to run any of it.
Does anyone like the Chinese version of rank more than the global? I personally think if they change out rank mode it would be the last straw for me to drop the game
I'll be honest, only the lobby thing is what's actually good, the modes and all that stuff is just pokemonified, infinitely sloppified brawl stars, aside of the fact if I see any more theatre style holowear I'm gonna go fricking bananas.
Personally the open plaza don't really do it for me, I would like to have the other improvement or God forgive to have this game on PC, like it pokemon can realest TCG live on PC so why not unit.
Assuming that the Switch wouldn’t be able to handle the vastness of the Chinese Beta is objectively false. It can literally run Metroid Prime Remastered at 60 FPS.
Pokémon Unite EX. 💀 Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm really not looking forward to this. Maybe I'll like the new match mode, I'm willing to go into that with an open mind. But moving around a world instead of menus, abandoning the current match mode, a game that definitely won't run on current Switch hardware (not all of us will be able to upgrade so quickly or easily)...none of it really appeals to me. I'll happily be proven wrong, I just don't feel it right now. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm so sick of people saying "the switch is old hardware, is not powerful enough", ffs people, it can run splatoon 2 & 3, Xenoblade 1 through 3 and soon freaking X, a massive freaking game that makes unite look like a 2010 game, is so annoying having to deal with laggy menus and that 1 frame that freezes in the middle of every game, I understand they are not first party developers but man, unite it's so bad compared to so many switch titles, they even got the stick issues no other game has and they never fixed it, the "efforts" timi are doing for the game are laughables Anyway, sorry for the rant, have a happy day/night
The gacha mechanics are not the reason why 2 countries were lost from the playerbase. Their governments are. Everything banned in history only made the situation worse.
This has to be a Switch 2 beta version. I played Switch and mobile Unite and also other open world style games on mobile. Nintendo has fallen behind in the gamer wars as you can cross play sony/xbox/PC and its about time they catch up. Smash (its a Mario franchise master hand is IRL Luigi 🤷🏾♂️) Zelda, Pokemon are keepin the oldest gaming company afloat. Nintendo is scared of Palworld reaching console and its because they're stuck in the old ways.
I play on Switch, and if I have to get a switch 2 in order to play this game, then it looks like I wasted time and money and will never play this game again! Also, the countries where this game is banned also don't allow TCG pocket for the same reasons as unite.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't think that I like this version. All of the hype around it seems to be about the fact there's a 3D environment, but that just is a reskin of the menu correct? It's just slowing things down and making getting around more complicated than it already is. Granted I'm not the most hardcore player, but from a design perspective it just seems inefficient. 🤷♂️
@swiflte I don't engage with that either lol. Again, probably the minority, but they couldn't pay me to use holowear. I like the original designs. Glad those systems exist for those who enjoy the cosmetics though.
If this version is makes it's way here, I'll stop playing this game right away. I already have a hard time against some of the CPU's in our version of the game, if they decide to bring this version over. I'm done, the CPU's will be harder in this version I already know it.
Not everything in the Chinese version is better somethings are worst than worst like Charizard ult gengar moves changes and there's sone more worst changes We have to unlock moves as well that's so annoying 😕 I'm struggling for years to upgrade every held item and yet there's one left and they are adding more of this kind of stuff 😫
We know the Chinese ranked mode will run on Switch, so we know at least we're getting some of the content, and I don't know why we couldn't get the minigames. Maybe we won't get the fancy lobby, but I personally don't care about that much. Either way, reacting to the Chinese version with fears that it will kill Unite for the rest of the world seems a bit much.
Nice. We have been playing beta unite this whole time
Could not have said it better myself
Fr they took “china is living in the future” to a whole another level
Worst beta in my life
In my opinion, just the open world lobby in the Chinese version is enough to put the global version of Unite to shame.
That was wild to see
I am sorry but this doesn't hyped me
All i care about is a new game mode for ranked and better matchmaking and balanced changes
I don't get why though
There isn't even anything to do in that open world which is already likely very small
If there was an extra feature like a Pokemon battle with others in that open world I could see the hype
Right now it seems just wandering around , doing almost nothing is all it has
The gameplay and visuals in fight are better in the global one though
@@vasimbelim1091 It is an entirely new mode for Ranked though.
If Unite 2 means our progress gets reset, never touching the game again.
Same
I will play because if it resets, all players are get reset not you 😊
I dont think that progress will be reset because all the whales and people who have been playing for a long time would get mad.
I didn't get a discount on my PS3 even though I had a PS2. Whales can afford and would afford to replay nostalgia especially if noobs can't afford it yet.
@@RandomACaptain Pokemon unite is game, not a game console.
"We have this thing that we're all exited about, but we actually don't know if we're going to be able to get to use it at all."
- Possibly the most relatable statement I've ever heard from Jake.
I would love to have these features in our game or have the game replaced with this.
We would love to have you in our games
The thing is, splatoon shows that the switch can handle stuff like this. When it fails, it's due to nintedo online. Also, they actually optimise there game probably.
I do think they’ll do a merge when the switch 2 drops. The performance is holding a lot of stuff backs this HAS to be one of em
I haven't watched everything yet but I'm already seeing chat type "BING CHILLING" at the start of this video 😭
Pokemon unite on switch the menu is so laggy I can't imagine this one..
yeah the game starts to scream in pain just from trying to get to my dailies
It's true, but it's not because Switch can't handle it - it's that it's so poorly optimized it just chugs. Switch 2 should help to a degree, but it really depends largely on how optimized the developer can make it
Imagine buying overpriced skins on a beta
The open world aspect is meh to me, I just want to play the Pokemon match and not walking around to see people showing off their cosmetics.
It better not bump the requirement of the mobile version and makes its FPS worse.
Yeah, Pokemon unite lags even now. I don't know what will happen if an open world is released.
The only thing I don't like is the 500 point mode and the special things you get in the match like insta score. I'm fine if they merge but as long as they keep all that stuff as separate game modes I'm fine
My concern is how Arena of Valor / Honor of Kings was handled. Honor of Kings is the Chinese version of Arena of Valor. Arena of Valor was abandoned and they even eventually released a global version of the Chinese version. Same situation, same type of game.... same companies.

Ngl it was weird when I knew AOV is the global version for HOK.
AOV did merge years ago so I don't understand why they won't close the game and port everything to HOK global. They could have AOV + HOK playerbase. I know AOV have some loyal playerbase. Sad to see they got shafted.
Looks like Timi and Nintendo are having a fight on ideas of the game😂
I hope the 500 point system stays far far away from ranked, for us. It would be cool as a new permanent gamemode to pick from, but not for ranked.
I'm still nervous about this new version of unite depends of the device it needs to play
we're not going to get it so why worry?
@Dave_of_Mordor my tablet barley handle the global version
when matchmaking is fixed, i'll consider it better
As long as the items are from a gacha pull with randomized stats, I genuinely hope we never get it.
They removed that, the stats are not random anymore.
The switch runs fnaf security breach
"Why don't we have blank?"
Jake: "Yes."
I hope the two versions merge into one. I'm tired of being stuck in the Beta.
That's a 3d hub. It's not what people generaly call an "open world". And I don't really care about that kind of stuff, looks like a waste of resources
What happens if unite 2.0 releases and everyone gets reset, meaning we loose all of our holowear and badges from the OG version
I hope that me from the alternate universe can play unite in the Netherlands a year from now 😭
I remeber when i first got the game, they had questionnaires.

also the new rank mode is so much more unbalanced and unentertaining in many ways

switch 2.0 releasing in 2025
so may be that switch device can adopt Chinese version animation
Our devs need to step it up seriously
Idk if it is a switch problem or not. Pokemon quest looks so much better on the switch than on phone. This game is the first game the dev did on the switch I believe.

4:04 the comparison is starting to hurt a little 😂
I just want that home hub, that is everything!

Did spragels said "cleaner and bester ui? " this looks like pure chaos
I really really just want the open world hub. That alone would be enough for me 🥺
I don't understand the hype around the open world lobby. There doesn't seem to be much to do rather than just walk and it would be fun exploring it for like 2-3 times but it would get boring quickly.
The switch’s hardware limitation could be a reason. Maybe when Switch 2 drops this can be a really amazing launch title. 🤷🏽♂️
When I accidentally pass a Pokemon I have with a battle pass skin, the Switch explodes. So imagine this... yes, the console is clearly the main problem.
Suddenly. We play beta version Pokemon Unite by China lol
Am I the only one who find it strange now to see naked Pokémon after play unite 😅it’s like put some clothes on that jiggly
If they release this globally I'm not sure it won't kill the mobile market % of the playerbase. It's hard to imagine even up to date brand new phones will be able to handle this
They most definitely could. This hardly has anything that mobile hardware of today can't handle, even for mid-range ones. The switch on the other hand...yeah, it wouldn't be able to run any of it.
Good lord we need Unite 2.0! This version looks so, so sick !!!
China coming to ACL & Aeos Cup
so China is going to involve with Global competitive season
What is the point of a different version exclusive to China? I really don't get it
Does anyone like the Chinese version of rank more than the global? I personally think if they change out rank mode it would be the last straw for me to drop the game
Hey Jake can we see some psyduck ranked matches soon?
Yeah it comes out this week
can't wait for this to release on switch 2
I just hope they'll patch the switch version and optimize it better
Then what happens to this Pokemon Unite (Not Chinese Version),
What about the money we have invested to buy Aeos Gems, Holowear and stuff.
??
TBH IDGaF about the world lobby bla bla bla. I just want a proper matchmaking and below 45% players to be together in a baby park lobby
Thanks for the kiss, i really needed that
Hey Spragels will you get psyduck codes?
You know a way to play the cn version? I got stuck at the verification part...Can I bypass that?
I'll be honest, only the lobby thing is what's actually good, the modes and all that stuff is just pokemonified, infinitely sloppified brawl stars, aside of the fact if I see any more theatre style holowear I'm gonna go fricking bananas.
DBZ Dokkan Battle merged after 9! Years so I'm hopeful
I could get used to it . I'm not a fan of 500 point limit.but other than that it looks great
same here
I cant blame the switch bc there are a lot of detailed games but Pokémon unite has never been one of these
Just be sure to ask for mime daning into global
Personally the open plaza don't really do it for me, I would like to have the other improvement or God forgive to have this game on PC, like it pokemon can realest TCG live on PC so why not unit.
What if another you came out from a 70% reality?
Am I the only one that prefers our version of ranked? We literally just need a new map.
Should I use fluffy tail for mid lane?
No, fluffy tail is not good.
only problem i have with this is that yu "unlock" moves by playing the mon more times
Still needs a lot of polishing, I dont really the in game graphics.
Assuming that the Switch wouldn’t be able to handle the vastness of the Chinese Beta is objectively false.
It can literally run Metroid Prime Remastered at 60 FPS.
Well it can’t handle unite rn so I dunno. It has the power of like an iPhone 7
Can an iPhone 7 run Metroid Prime Remastered at 60 FPS?
I thought pokemon was Japanese, why does china have it btw. Always wondered

if we don't get it I swear I'll cry and just delete the game

@Spragels Pokemon Unite 2.0 New Update Nintendo Switch upper??
Why does every world version of a mobile game siuk?
just be honest and tell your audience you have been moving over to that P2W pokemon pocket game instead
When will they add more mega evolutions 😢😢😢😢
New ranking?
It WaS RiPpEd 😭
Pretty much like Arena of valor and honor of kings.
Great video! Crisheroes has some awesome gameplay of all the different modes too
no unite 2 just merge the games, the 2 thing is never as popular as the original
glad I never bought anything hella pricey on the game cause if servers ever close all that money I spent goes poof
Not everything in the Chinese version is better somethings are worst than worst like Charizard ult gengar moves changes and there's sone more worst changes
We have to unlock moves as well that's so annoying 😕 I'm struggling for years to upgrade every held item and yet there's one left and they are adding more of this kind of stuff 😫
why do people believe that this couldn't run on switch? do people not know what games can run on switch? lol
man this is depressing af
We know the Chinese ranked mode will run on Switch, so we know at least we're getting some of the content, and I don't know why we couldn't get the minigames.
