Pokémon Arena is a Third Person Action Multiplayer Online Battle Arena [MOBA] created for the Nintendo 3DS.
Playable Characters[]
Like other games of this genre, there are many characters to choose from, residing in different categories. Four to be exact. These four categories are Bold: A category for Pokémon with high defenses and low attack, Hasty: A category for Pokémon with high attack and lower defenses, Modest: A category for Pokémon who rely on using moves, and Naughty: Pokémon who have low defenses, but average attack and are ranged.
In addition to play style differences between the characters, there is also the Pokémon's type that affects damage dealt. Damage may increase or decrease by 10% of the original damage. However, if a ghost type were to fight a fighting type or normal type, they would be able to do damage to each other. No types are immune to other types.
Pokémon all have four moves, activate by pressing A, B, X, or Y. Y is always an ultimate move, a move that has a long cooldown but is very useful.
Finally, every Pokémon has its own ability that may slightly effect things.
