Pokémon Duel Now Available on iOS, Android

by

The mobile game previously known as Pokémon Comaster in Japan has now been released to English markets as Pokémon Duel! Gameplay centers around moving pieces from your side of the board to your opponents with each Pokémon figure possessing different attacks. Battles are determined through the use of spinners to decide what attack is used making for unpredictable and often frustrating play.

Like many free-to-pay games, Pokémon Duel utilizes a timed energy system to limit the amount of progress you can make through battles and Pokémon are bought in randomized ‘capsules’. Much of it will feel familiar if you’ve played games similar to Puzzle and Dragons.

As someone who has played the game, periodically, since its Japanese release, I sadly can’t recommend spending money on it.

If you’re interested in trying it out and waiting for some free gem events (which were quite common in Japan) you can download it for iOS or Android if your account is in the US.

  3. I was expecting this to get an English version, and figured it would be some time when Duel would be announced for English audiences. Though I will say this looks interesting, might give it a try.

      • Sure but you gotta feel like shit too, time is irrelevant when feeling good
        Throbbing headache, sore throat, coughing every couple of minutes (also each one hurts the headache), phlegm, extreme lethargy and overall crushing meekness and lowness

  10. So apparently you can tame, name and store mounts in Breath of the Wild,
    If I find a wild mare in the game I will give it a faithful name worthy of its greatness…..Debbie

    I really hope they include some kinda weapon crafting system I mean if your entire weapon inventory is mostly based on find and use until it breaks, they gotta include a few story-found unbreakables otherwise I think Runes are going to handle all the equipment

  11. All I know about this game comes from the many, MANY rants of Joe Merrick on Twitter last year 😛 With Paul backing up the extremely luck-based gameplay, it really doesn’t sound worthwhile. I’ll at least try it out though.

  12. Also I just had a deliciously thought that would rain on the parades of anybody who wants a No Guard Fissure Machamps
    You probably think you could just transfer Machops until you got one with No Guard right? Well you only get one chance since Fissure is only by TM and it’s the only one in the game

    • Nope you can get it whenever. You just have to complete the dex first which typically takes beating them game. Either way as long as you trade you can get it without beating the game.

  15. Yay down to #7 already.

    I must admit this was the first Dragon Pokémon I ever used and other than Turtonator probably the only one. This Pokémon was always a joy to have battling along side with a useful barage of Dragon Pulse and Flamethrower, and the Infiltrate ability a powerhouse Flying type, a good friend, and the 5th lvl.100 I ever had Good cheers to this guy, but we still have 6 to go till the end so be alert!

    Hint for 6: A Kalos Pokémon that shares its type with only 1 other Pokémon that lives in Kalos

    The list so far
    10. Ambipom
    9. Turtonator
    8. Reuniclus
    7. Noivern

  16. If they were to give non-kanto pokemon alola forms, my hope would be for ambipom to get one, id love for it to become normal/fighting or just plain fighting. It and aipom are like my favourite normal type (fun fact I thought ambipom was ugly and i hated it when I first saw it, now I love it)

  17. Running low on ideas…..
    This was one of the very firsts when I decided to make

    Sanwurm
    The Underground Pkm
    Ground
    Intimidate/Arena Trap HA: Dry Skin
    A pale tan and beige colored Snake Pokemon who always halfway buried in the ground its face is pointed and two long fangs point downward, they have a large triangular rattle sticking out of the ground behind it
    “This subterranean Pokemon slithers effortlessly through the sand, at night they shake their rattles in rhythm to attract prey”

    Into
    Servepent
    The Enticing Pkm
    Ground/Dark
    Intimidate/Arena Trap HA: Dry Skin
    This Pokemon consists mainly as a burrowed hole in the ground with a large cobra like Pokemon occasion popping out,Nita body is a darker brown and tan underbelly and has deep red eyes and a red dot with a green outline on its forehead, and four fangs two on the roof and two on the bottom
    “Servepent’s skin is extremely vulnerable to light so it shelters itself underground, using its rattle it creates a bizarre melody that entrances Pokemon to it so it can quickly eat”

    Finally the feared monster of the desert
    Pharobra
    The Reigning Pkm
    Ground/Dark
    Intimidate/Arena Trap HA: Dry Skin
    Pharobra is a massive massive serpentine Pokemon (like roughly longer than a Steelix) with a luxurious golden brown skin with brick like scales, and pale white patterned underbelly, it’s face has golden bands that stretch into its mighty hood (which resembles a pharaoh headdress) the forehead mark now has turned into a green and red striped horn and its eyes have black markings, it’s tail has three segments and resemble a pyramid. They also have a forked tongue and massive fangs
    “Pharobra create mirages with their horns, lost travelers who find these mirages are never heard from again”

  19. Anyways, since I gotta repost here now
    Sand Genie, Fairy/Ground
    I need a Pokémon with this type and this is what I’m settling with
    Thoughts?

  26. Got a new Fakemon idea:

    The Chess Pokemon
    Type: Steel
    Ability: Sturdy
    Height: 2’00”
    Weight: 80 lbs
    Dex Entry: Artificially created for medieval wars by wizards in myths, these Pokemon defended castles in the past. There are different variants, such as a King and Queen-like forms, so this Pokemon has different appearances.
    * It can change into King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, and Knight formes using different items. Each form has different stats. It’s “standard” form is Pawn forme, having the weakest of stats and a limited movepool.

      • Shit, I forgot about their concepts…
        Anyway, I guess we could say some of them were inspired by Pawniard’s evolutionary line

        Reply

      • Except that they literally only cover two chess pieces out of like ten (don’t know off the top of my head) and we’ve seen repeats of concepts before

        Reply

        • then he should to take sometime to fully work out the concept,
          because this sounds like a combination of Bisharp and Golurk

          the idea could work it just needs some solid backup

          Reply

          • says you, but to people like me actually take their time and think these out through, and take immense pride in their ingenuity

          • I wouldn’t call fan made Pokémon ingenious

            And I don’t have time to think things through, and I don’t know if this applies to anyone else here but it probably does, becuase of studying

          • you shallow t*at, some fakemons are really well made (or really bad)
            and who are you to say that nobody actually thinks when doing these?

          • Lol calm your tits down

            ‘Ingenious’ shouldn’t be applied to fan creations imo because you’re literally just expanding on someone else’s idea, regardless of how good they are

            I’m not saying people don’t put thought into it, I’m saying that not everyone has the time to raise them up to Earthen Standards™ becuase people here have lives outside of making the Fakémon they lit. just make for fun

          • my tits are very much enraged by the amount of BS you’re spitting
            And my Earthen standards should set the bar honestly, inspiring people to fully flesh out their ideas for the sake of creation,

            just means i’m a very creative person, learn a thing or 12 and be one too

          • Yes, very creative for creating fan creatures for a kids game

            And people are making Fakémon for fun, not to be measured against a bullshit subjective standard and being deemed uncreative people even tho they probably have more creativity in their left arse cheek then you do in your whole body

          • Oh play the kid’s game card, hey Einstein you’re doing the exact thing i’m doing so what makes you better trick question you’re not because you said so yourself you don’t think, and i see a lot more you fighting me then you actually trying to explain your ideas to rationalize their origins and designs so don’t get mad that somebody points out their faults

            besides i don’t call them out on being uncreative, i call them out that it doesn’t make sense or have some logic and understanding

          • i don’t pretend, Pokemon actually does have logic no matter how hard you try to not believe, i mean take bulbapedia on every pokemon they list their origins and you tell me with a straight face that they don’t make sense?

          • You know damn well that it was crapped out just to be Psychic, but as i stated many times my theory of selective breeding of Pikachu in Alola caused Pikachu to have more developed brains and when evolving into Raichu increased electricity unlocked psychic powers

            Alolan forms are poor on logic especially the ones not influenced by nature (outside Exeggutor)

  27. So I was thinking to myself about my Fakémon

    Do half of you even know what a Nuckelavee or a Selkie are

    Because if not:

    Nuckelavee

    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f31e5bd4b0a4be4502d6cbb449c82f71117e538422233e413346c4f85f799e54.jpg

    A demon that is said to of terrorised Scotland’s islands.

    Selkie

    A seal that takes the form of a woman on land.

      • Literally six ffs, and neither are Fairy because they’re Poison/Electric and Poison/Steel

        Nuckelavee would be the most dumb ass Fairy idea ever, whilst Fairy-Type seems to incorporate non-Fairy magical creatures (angels, selkies, mermaids, sylphs and nymphs) putting demons into that group when Ghost and Dark fit it better (Dark/Fairy is the perfect demon type but if you could only select one you’d always go for Dark or Ghost).

        Selkie fits the Fairy idea but it’s Steel instead because of the idea of shedding skin, as well as the fact that alkalis (base materials) are metallic

  28. Hey, now look up any non-alolan Mon and see what comes up. Either it is hackers putting in mons and Pokémon opened up slots for players to put stuff in there, or Pokebank is being updated in some places now and others later.

  30. so i need a mythical trio or quad……i wanted to to a Pokemon group based on a suit (as in playing cards, club diamond, spade and heart)
    Maybe a living crystal diamond
    a club tree (tell me where Sudowoodo has clubs patented)
    a butterfly or insect with heart shaped wings
    and lastly…..all i got is a dinosaur with spade shaped spines

    Reply

  32. Oh lookie here
    “The four suits in playing cards, clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades, collectively represent the four elements (wind, fire, water, and earth), the seasons, and cardinal directions. They represent the struggle of opposing forces for victory in life.”
    this is a game changer!

    ELEMENTAL PROTECTORS
    each of them dwell in the most spiritual areas in Eyanu, each of them wielding the power of nature to instate the balance of the World!

    Club
    Fire
    it would be tiger with a club shaped splay in the tail

    Diamond
    Rock
    a Bear with a jagged polygonal body made of crystal

    Heart
    Water
    some kinda floating catfish with heart shaped fins

    Spade
    Now i would never EVER do a Pure Flying type (unless i changed them all to be half ghost))
    and it would be a Eagle with Spades as feathers

    Reply

      • I mean techically they’re supposed to be Elemental Spirits (and not to brag i’m like the leading authoritah on Elemental stuff) oh what the heck they can be all part Ghost

        but omfg i need to work on this idea its freaking good for my region since the whole idea is Nature and Elemental stuff

        Reply

        • Well I’m not sure what’s wrong with pure Flying but none of these have been paired with Ghost much, Rock/Ghost has never happened at all. I think alot of people do Elemental Spirits as single-typed.

          Reply

          • i mean in this case it works, but Pure Flying would have to be a Wind Elemental since Flying is always represented as a Creature that flies
            not to get technical but you can’t just have flight and nothing else since Flying though represents the wind but in the end its a creature who flies its always Type/Flying never primarily

            I mean why do you think Tornadus is the only pure flying type because it is a wind elemental (Technically Noivern is primarily Flying but honestly i think it gets that pass since its whole theme is sound waves which flying kinda represents) but outside that tiny variable the theory is solid

          • I see your point, though I would like some more pure Flying types that aren’t limited by this. I think if it was called Wind type then I think there would be.

          • yeah i mean looking back it was Bird type (but not everything with wings are birds, but that causes troubles, but whatever its the system and its solid

  37. Alright I’ve been through both clubs for today and now will do my homework then be off to bed…

    And last thing I made a Whelk Pokémon that I’m still processing all the stuff for it.

    Goodnight see ya tomorrow
