The combats are strategies that can not be missing in Pokémon Go since it is one of the important characteristics of this saga and with a mobile spirit of the successful title of Niantic. It has taken a sufficient time of study to be able to achieve a good balance in the confrontation of the coaches, being simple so that any player (regardless of their level) can enjoy them but at the same time interesting so that the veterans feel satisfied with the system. In order for the implant function to function properly since last December 13, great barriers have been raised, allowing the players to enter little by little and not saturate the server when it was started. Only the coaches who are level 40 managed to test it but soon after He opened up the players of level 10, to give him an opportunity in that level number, managing to greatly expand the available margins.


Pocket Monsters have presented us for so many years in the main saga. One of the details that was observed was in the turns that disappear, approaching more to the model that we have already been able to play when fighting in gyms or in raids. The differences that appeared with the last title of the saga, Pokémon: Let's Go, are remarkable to the naked eye. On the other hand, the latter is closer to the classic model in Go, the system is simplified as we will detail below. The aspects are maintained, such as mentioning whether a movement is effective or not against our rival after making it. In Go we made the attacks by pressing quickly on the screen and then loading a special type attack following the same scheme, while in Let's Go the paused turns are maintained. Here are some examples: 1 .- Choose a trio of Pokémon varied so we can defend regardless of the type of rivals with which we are, and we can also change and taking advantage of our strengths and types to overcome. 2.- To change the Pokémon during the combat there is a certain waiting time, this allows us to analyze which Pokémon to choose. 3 .- We can not dodge attacks as we do in gyms or incursions as it is to move our Pokémon to the sides but we do have 2 blocks for charged attacks. Using them at the right time can determine our victory. 4.- Another example is that they have not seen the option of using objects during the battle (potions, candy and others), thus greatly simplifying the clashes. 5 .- Finally is an interesting detail is that after fighting our Pokémon do not weaken or damage, so we can keep our potions and revive revive for other times.



To be able to find the coaches we can face the Team Leaders (Spark, Candela and Blanche), being controlled by the AI ​​and serving to train facing the other combats, and the progress to obtain the medal Coach Guay . The need to have stability in the internet network as well as a mobile device with a good processor is important so as not to encounter problems when fighting. In our particular experience has happened on a couple of occasions that one of the players has been frozen screen and the other has been able to win without the first had the option to defend. Current status and changes are rewards that we would like to see.




For all the above, the Pokémon Go combat system leaves us with the feeling of being too simple. It is possible that once the current process is stabilized, its characteristics will improve and expand. Examples of possible changes that we would appreciate are having a larger team of Pokémon, being able to use some objects (even if they are limited) and making it easier to access the matches even if we do not have a higher level friendship. On the other hand, Niantic is expected to clarify if there will be any sort of leaderboards or tournaments to take on other coaches and prove that our Pokémon team is the best. This last detail would motivate more veteran players to face battle if they achieved prestige and being able to place their name in a world or regional ranking. We will carefully observe the progress of the combat system and Pokémon Go informing the players of all the changes that can be made. We recall that we currently have various Christmas events available, among which we see the appearance of various ice-type Pokémon. On the other hand we have incursions with legendary as Heatran or Deoxys (Attack) and with the arrival of 12 new Sinnoh Pokémon to the title.
