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.
It’s time to d-d-d-d-d-ddddduel!!
On motorbikes!?
“CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!”
3 articles in less than a day, this might be a new record.
Also, this game looks addicting as hell
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.
Three articles in a day…
I don’t have the energy today….I feel like shit…and I have a 8 hrs work day
I’d take eight hour work over four exams ;-;
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
Might give this game and whirl. Also I just noticed Paul isn’t sporting the baby face anymore https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0eb63ad2f8c2c550ba9ba224762f9cc96e30a173f5bcbb9bea6bb06c2b3b5682.jpg
Glad to see we got updated info in regards to Poke Bank so hopefully it’ll release the update soon.
Paul why arent you eating curry daily anymore?
I’ve heard this game is awful. I’m interested to try it, but can’t say it’ll be a game I play all the time.
Nintendo is really going all out with it’s smartphone branch.
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
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.
Can you link me to those rants?
Joe tweets to much. There were several instances throughout the first half of last year – it would involve so much digging. But he often complained about how luck-based it is and that he had to cover the game for Serebii.
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
Easy solution. Just use the missing no. glitch to duplicate them
I’m not saying no one cares about this game…but no one cares about this game.
I’m trying
You can only get the shiny charm post game right?
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.
I feel like I could do with it. I’ve bred so many Rowlet I’m going more insane. Only at 72% though.
Yay down to #7 already.
7.) Noivern

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
Noivern is the best dragon. Too bad it’s not Normal/Dragon so it can’t get stab boomburst
As luck would have it Boomburst was my move that got me through ORAS even smoother than most
Fun fact:
Swellow has Boomburst as an egg move
Feh frail as the ice that kills it, Garchomp is best dragon hands down
Exactly why it should be Normal/Dragon
And yet Garchomp also has the same weakness so its in the same boat
But is it more savage?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8e20d1f0304f1d6fcfd4c40428080a09e73ef8bf0a4e03bc0889fff92506175.jpg
No
Noivern is cooler though ?
Easily. Garchomp is amazing. The other dragons cower to it.
And is on every single showdown since D/P
Black Kyurem laughs in the distance
I don’t like Mon too much yet is my second favorite dragon type….. This shows how much I don’t like dragon types…
I don’t really like them in particular either just primarily 5 of them
The only dragon type I genuinely like it’s Giratina and it’s probably because the ghost type (my favorite)
Mine are Goodra, Turtonator, Noivern, #4 on my list, and Garchomp
Noivern is so great, it may not be in my top 5 but its still cool, come to think of it though the only dragons I don’t like are guzzlord and Garchomp because they’re ugly
It and number 6 raced for 6th spot, but the Noivern lost and got 7th place still good for a dragon to me
Let me guess Carbink or Diancie
Nope
I love Noivern, I used my Shiny one for my X team, she is amazing.
Gonna guess Gourgeist.
Nope
Are you counting megas?
No it has no Mega, but I won’t tell who it is till tomorrow
Gourgeist is so cool I love it
I think pumpkaboo is cuter. I wish gourgeist didn’t have the weird long neck like a butternut squash.
It’s so cuuute
It really is. It has a little cat/bat hat
I have a plushie of it
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)
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”
Interest…
(Notices lack of Queenly Majesty on a Pharoah Pokémon)
*Triggered*
Dude no water weakness
And? Why not make it have majesty? It fits the design
3 friggin updates! Crap!
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?
(I know your opinion Earthen)
I think a jackalope would be a better concept for ground and fairy, but that’s just me
Hmmm, true true.. but I already got a bunny this region
Genies are cool, although when I think of genie and pokemon I automatically think of the forces of nature trio from unova. I guess just make it unique looking from them! 😛
It’s more of an Arabic genie in look! 😀
It’s made of sand and is in a jar, breaking out of it when it evolves
I already had an Arabian Pokemon
Spellsufi and Magenie
Pure Psychic types
That doesn’t mean other people can’t have ideas
It just means others can have better ideas
Yeah, and?
I wanna see
😀
Omg that’s a great idea
I know
Thanks!
I have a carmel camel that’s Ground/Fairy does that count too?
Sounds cute
Sadly its drawing makes it look retarded, but I will make it cute
*Twinge* a Ground…Fairy *Forehead vein intesines* carmel……*grinding teeth* camel
*Tightens fist in pure rage* explain if you could…
Same reason Slurpuff and Swirlix are they are its based on sweets
Because Cotton candy in Australia is called Fairy Floss
This abomination is a monument to ridiculousness
It’s still a bit of a stretch for the entire basis of a pokemon’s typing. I mean yanmega is based on a dragonfly yet it’s not a dragon.
Why should a dragonfly become a dragon type?
I’m talking about basing types on names alone. You’re basically proving my point. Why would a piece of cotton candy be a fairy type just because it’s called fairy floss?
Ah, makes sense
It’s a freaking dog thing that looks like cotton candy
(Granted they could’ve worded it better, I mean where would a Pokemon in the wild get so many sweets that alter the composition of it fur to be sticky)
If it raided honey and sugary berries or plants maybe
Because dragonflies ain’t dragons dumbass
Yanmega is based on freaking gigantic insects in the Carboniferous period
Cotton candy isn’t a fairy, dumbass.
I just told you in Australia Cotton candy is called Fairy Floss which was probably the inspiration for the type, and don’t forget they have some relations to dogs (mostly poodles)
Okay, again, so if it’s a fairy because of a name…why isn’t a dragonfly a dragon then..?
Hey Garchomps not even a dragon its based on a shark and gargoyle
and kingdra isn’t a dragon its a sea dragon not the same
Gargoyle is a stretch
And Kingdra is based on the weedy sea dragon, but the reason why Horsea is so focused on dragons is because of Japanese Myth that Seahorses were dragons
But stop making this about me, I’m expressing the sheer stupidity that a Caramel Camel is…I mean it’s just pure insanity
You try being up at midnight not thinking, and thinking Hey! This sounds like a good plan
Well unlike you I AM THINKING, and I think some Pokemon can get away with the whole name equaling type and design thing, but when pre-existing Pokemon didn’t get the typ, I give the rebuttal of why it didn’t be the type
Then starts the whole Earthen Banwagon to prove him wrong and make him feel like an ass or a idiot
Cause of your diction, that simple
Well dude you know i don’t listen to your complaints I’ll do what i want with mine and you do yours. Cause I don’t care about logic for most of my stuff I try to make it fun
logic is the anatomy of thought
Its a game does every single Pokémon have to have 100% logic put into it cause that leads them to be pretty bland with out some imagination and some non-logical thinking
And we’re pretending Klefki is smart?
What does that have to do with anything
Because Pokémon themselves make stupid designs sometimes and make them exist
you have no concept of design and origin
How keys get Fairy
Pagan myth of blaming fairies for lost items, also the idea of keeping an iron charm to ward off fairies
Or Dragalge why Dragon? Other than it being biggest Kingdra rip off
*cough* dragalge
What is Carmel?
Sugary syrupy confection
Caramel?
I think he misspelled it, I looked up Carmel and all I found was that, he even said it was based on sweets
That’s why I was confused, Carmel is a womans name, amongst other things.
Thats the long name but yes it is
It’s the only name afaik.
Ok I normally here when associated with a hint of salt I hear Salty Carmel
Probably just the way it’s pronounced there then.
I actually feel your more right I probably am mispronounceing it I’ll modify the name to sound more like the word
Like what? Camarel?
Its a sweet https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2aa13259ab603c75f9ecde997958833c5778e1d5596cd3671da20e09b3fb9ff5.jpg
When I hear Jackalope I always think of the one from Boundin’ ,the Pixar short.
I like it
😀
I feel that psychic/Ground would make a better typing or Fairy/Psychic
Or Fairy/Ground/Psychic 😛
I can see that, I’m just hard pressed to think of another Fairy/Ground design
fairy/ground could be based on the pink fairy armadillo or a dust bunny
Hmmmmm, interesting
I guess you could try to make the typing work
Yay I’m about to go home and see the new Overwatch skins!
I’m stuck at work for another 35mins IM SO FREAKING BORED!!!!!!
But speaking of Blizzard I gotta do the Lunar Festival for three new Toys
One of these days I gotta get my Wow groove back…
Brb driving home
OMG I LOVE THESE SKINS
screw the dex I gotta get these skins
Going for Mei, Tracer and Dva’s skins
Trying to make a Steel dark special attacker
Struggling hard
Make it a gun
That’s way too easy
Easy =/= Bad
I know, but still
Rusted ancient weapon.
Hmmmm… like?
Something like a cannon perhaps? Or some form of machine, like Magearna, but built for destruction only.
Hmmmmmm cursed runes, steel dark special attackers just don’t flow organically
That’s the point
Well don’t come crying to me if you can’t make it work
I’m not, I’ll make it work eventually
Crying to us about things that piss them off is your job anyways
dick,
Creative
that i am
Dick is a creative insult?
Need more steel and dark special moves…
Oh it’ll have some
Wow finally I can play that game nobody cares about! 😀
I tried it
what game?
take a gander and actually read the article…
oh oops
Also
No new article for like a week when we were cursed, now that we’ve escaped there’s three articles in one day. xD
