Pokémon Co-Master features and gameplay: What to expect from Pokémon Co-Master
Pokémon Co-Master was developed with Heroz, which has previously created AI capable of defeating pro-chess players in battle. Pokémon Co-Master was thought to be something of a cross between a fighting game and Chess, with the artificial intelligence bringing a new strategy-based dimension with online players taking it in turn to make their move. On Google Play it is described simply as a Pokémon strategy board game in which you build a deck with your favourite Pokémon, then leap into a League Match. Pokémon Duel lets you compete with other players around the world, fighting rivals in real-time. So far it has mixed reviews, with average feature ratings of 2.7 for controls, 3.0 for gameplay and 2.7 for graphics, and 3.0 overall.
