Some couple of years ago, I wrote a post designed around an observation of one of my friend's play style in Pokémon Unite and specifically dealing with an ideal number of Pokémon (more specifically, their Unite License) for specific roles. Over the years, I've found out that there are other play styles also specifically pertaining to how others procure or pursue Unite Licenses. Therefore, I thought I'd revisit that play style of my friend while exploring other play styles that I've observed.
That friend of mine, as discussed, has a "specialist" play style, where one tends to collect Unite Licenses of one role and not much else beyond that. That friend also deals (or by now, dealt) with the Speedster role; a Defender or Supporter specialist could also be possible, and may in fact be high in demand among teams at present. Given that Draft Pick is now present in competitive Pokémon Unite and allows the possibility of certain Pokémon being banned, a specialist has a definite advantage by just selecting a different Pokémon of that role to sidestep the ban.
I have what might be termed as an "opportunist" play style. I obtain Unite Licenses for free if possible, then I spend Aeos Coins when necessary, as Aeos Gem purchases are still not of my primary interest. This does admittedly lead to a good variety of Pokémon, but also takes a bit of time. Still, my interest in Pokémon Unite is not as much as other present games, so this play style serves me well.
Of course, like in other areas of Pokémon. there are collectors here, and they have the "collector" play style. They're not shy about obtaining Unite Licenses, and they'll obtain them by any means possible, even by paying for Gems. They may also have a secondary objective: they want to test out the Pokémon immediately after their release and before any changes are applied based on plays by the greater player base. Regardless, it is the collection that seems to matter first.
My friend has since then abandoned Pokémon Unite for other purposes, but the memory of my friend collecting Speedsters still sticks out. Especially now, it makes for perfect consideration that some players do obtain Unite Licenses for various Pokémon in different ways and diverse objectives as well. But that also speaks out for all their different approaches and behaviors as well when they play in the game, for which the ultimate determinant is how that works with a team.
