A new spinoff game in the Pokémon series is on the way to the Nintendo Switch.
In a somewhat odd looking title, which definite inspirations from Minecraft, comes Pokémon Quest. The game features Pokémon from the Kanto region—but this time, they have a boxy, cube-like appearance. The game will be a free-to-start game.
In Pokemon Quest, you can decide which characteristics your Pokémon will have. You can use special items called Power Stones to strengthen your team. The kind of Pokémon they become is completely up to you. The game takes place on the mysterious Tumblecube Island, which is known to be filled with hidden treasures and special items.
With a team of up to three Pokémon, you can explore the secrets of Tumblecube Island. Battle wild Pokémon, gather treasure, and even befriend new Pokémon. It’s unclear exactly what the game is all about, though it looks like an action RPG game and is reminiscent of Pokémon Rumble World.
