Pokemon the Fighters

Pokemon the Fighters is a game published by Nintendo and developed by both Game Freak and Gamecom. It will be only for the 3DS. The gameplay is very original in the asset that instead of taking your turn and choosing your moves to see them played out, you take control of your Pokemon and fight in beat-em-up style. It plays like this until the Gym and League battles, when it feels more like a tag-team fighter.

Gameplay
As previously said, the gameplay has you playing as your own Pokemon beating up wild and trained Pokemon. After defeating each foe, the Pokemon in battle will gain EXP. Type-effectiveness and level also play a factor in this game. For example, if you chose Bulbasaur and are using grass-type moves on a Pidgey that has a higher level than it, you won't stand much of a chance.

You can also catch Pokemon while engaged in a wild battle. When they come up, you have to whittle down their HP as low as possible and then Lock-On using the R Button and aim the lock-on with the control pad to the Pokemon you wish to catch. Then hit select to throw the Pokeball (this may seem complicated, but the game paused when you're in lock-on).

By pressing the L Button by itself, or with the circle pad tilted in a certain direction, you can use basic attacks akin to the Pokemon you're controlling. Aside from that, you can also use your Pokemon's learned moves on the battlefield to help you out. NOTE: Your Pokemon cannot block unless it knows a move that allows it to do so.

Levels
Listed are the different waves of enemies you will go through in each level. You can repeat each level, but only the waves of wild Pokemon will appear again. Your Pokemon will have full health in a level that follows the location of a Pokemon Center, so you'll always have healthy Pokemon in Gyms.
