A new Pokémon game is available today, May 29 — and it’s free to download for Nintendo Switch. It’s called Pokémon Quest, and based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s ... really unlike any Pokémon game we’ve seen before. The Pokémon Company revealed the title during a press conference held live in Japan. The action game takes place in a world called Tumblecube Island, where voxel-style Pokémon roam for treasure, food and friendly fights. There are base camps that players can customize and build, which help them attract new Pokémon to add to their team. From there, trainers take a set of three monsters to battle, albeit not using the familiar turn-based combat of other Pokémon RPGs. Instead, Pokémon Quest limits players’ control of their Pokémon to tapping attack meters once they’re full. Otherwise, the Pokémon go at it on their own. Think of it as Minecraft meets the simplistic Pokémon spinoff Pokémon Rumble, which also transformed characters into miniature, stylized versions of themselves. The “Pokéxel” characters — as Game Freak has dubbed them — are more facsimiles of Pikachu, Blastoise and the rest of the first-gen monsters we’ve been shown than tinier versions of our faves. If you’re a traditionalist, Pokémon Quest may not be quite your speed; holding trainers back from having total control over their team sounds like a major turnoff for anyone raised on the handheld RPGs. But the kids that eat up crafting and base-building will likely find this to be a suitable alternative when suffering from Minecraft burnout.
