I don’t think that we need a Pokémon Unite premium subscription, but here we are. In a game that’s already littered with microtransactions, virtual fashion items that cost more than a regular game in some cases, and an existing battle pass already… it feels a little gross to also slap on a subscription model.
But, alongside announcing the details of the next battle pass (thanks to Serebii for the information), developer TiMi has confirmed a Pokémon Unite premium subscription. Costing ¥1150 each month (no other prices are available right now, but that’s roughly $9/£7) the subscription offers you a special holowear of the month, two free unite licence trials, two holowear licence trials, new chat balloons, 10% discount on trainer fashion, and 40 gems every day.
From the sounds of it, this subscription allows you to pay money to try out a few things, and gives you a discount when you want to spend more money. If you spend enough money in Pokémon Unite that spending $9/£7 to get a 10% discount is economical, then we’re a bit worried about you. We love Pokémon Unite here, so we hope if this does go ahead, that we at least see some more value added to the service.
