Since the past four years, July has become a happening month for anniversaries of Pokémon game, one of them being earlier in the month and another one being around this day. The latter is of course for Pokémon Unite, as the implementation of MOBA with elements of the franchise. In those four years, a lot has happened, shaping the game from a rudimentary implementation to something for working and playing well with others. That said, it would be helpful to recap some of the most recent changes that have been made to see them in the perspective of these past four years.
Perhaps one of the most significant things in the past year, besides the addition of new Pokémon through Unite Licenses - which I'll deal with shortly - is the addition of new, other means of providing bonuses like discount coupons and event mechanisms. Still, the players might need to provide something of their own (paid, that is) in order to take advantage of these bonuses, although a lot of the perks can be obtained freely. Wallets may or may not be a determinant of the festive quality.
For the Pokémon, it might be said that some of the more esoteric choices are being pulled out even now and will continue to be pulled out along with the remaining sensible ones. One of the former in this regard, added just a while ago, is a particular yellow duck whose powers are best manifested with a headache (yet it won't evolve into its more sensible next stage), while the latter comprises two "siblings" whose ventures are well-known to fans and their addition is right here and now, at least in stages, through its usually instituted anniversary event.
This year's anniversary for the game, it has to be said (at least for the writeup part of it), is also closely coincidental with an annual or even biannual Pokémon happening, which involves not only this game but also the broader world of Pokémon and all things related to its games and entertainment. This is surely to be discussed in another post, but it has to be noted that Unite is definitely part of that package.
It might appear that this year's anniversary for Pokémon Unite might be a bit on the blander side, but it's an anniversary nonetheless and should be celebrated for what it is, especially for what it brings. That means appreciating what has been developed since its rudimentary beginnings and continuing to deal with all the complexities that have been and will be presented for dedicated players.
All things considered, it seems not that bad at all. Happy fourth anniversary to Pokémon Unite.
