Pokemon Rumble Rush is a new Pokemon Mobile game and one that brings back an amazing series. Pokemon Rumble is an awesome Pokemon toy collecting adventure game where players will collect Pokemon and send them out into the world.
This game begins as a simple tap to play game but soon becomes rather automatic if the player wants it to be. Players can continue to tap to play but if a player is grinding for a certain pokemon they might opt to let the gameplay itself. This is a good thing as the game can feel tedious after awhile.
Pokemon in this game are given a CP level similar to Pokemon Go. Right now there are only about 80 Pokemon available so players will need to figure out which Pokemon will be the strongest and best able to help them. Pokemon will continue to be released every few weeks so soon enough everyone should have their favorite Pokemon in the game.
Players will beat Pokemon left and right and some will join the player. If they are sparkling it’s assured that they will join the player. Players will need to beat a lot of the same Pokemon if they hope to collect the best of the best. If Players manage to find a Golden Ball, then the Pokemon inside will exceed the limit
These balls are an important aspect of the game because they show the CP of the Pokemon. Red balls provide lower CP Pokemon but are more prevalent. Blue Balls are slightly rarer but can often turn the tide of battle. The Golden balls might take dozens of runs to appear but can provide a Pokemon far outside the available CP rank. It’s definitely amazing to down a boss and have it be a gold rank Pokemon.
The game is broken up into different islands that players will slowly explore. These islands are only around in spurts so players will want to play on every one of them. Players will face bosses which are just large versions of the basic Pokemon. It can be annoying dealing with these bosses as sometimes the CP of the bosses is just too much.
I remember grinding to take on a few of the bosses and needing to find a strong enough Pokemon. Eventually, I was able to take it down, but it certainly took a lot of effort on my part. These islands can certainly take a while to play through as it is often just up to luck. Players are never assured they will actually get the Pokemon they want, and so it makes it a game some will struggle to win.
Pokemon Rumble Rush relies on an ore refining system that helps players strengthen their Pokemon. This ore is found in the levels and the player must then refine it. The rare ore takes ten hours but is the best ore to refine. These ore give different amounts of goodies, but personally, it is best to continuously have a rare ore refining at all times.
The ore themselves have a chance at giving summon gears which summon Pokemon to aid the player. They also contain type-centric gears that will help level up the Pokemon of the corresponding type. It’s definitely good to refine ore and upgrade whenever possible.
There are also rare summon ore, which only pop up for certain islands. Keeping these and leveling them is done by using the weaker summon gears so it’s good to let those go as well. Player’s might only get one of the rare Dragonite gear but if they give up their Dragonair gear they can make it stronger. It is up to the player how they use their summon gears though.
This game also provides a light achievement system. As players complete boss battles they will rank up and then gain three gems. Players can also complete daily rewards and overall rewards. It’s a little sad that the advanced challenges still only reward three gems but its what happens. There are a lot of chances to earn these gems. The best thing about the gems is they are used to accelerate ore, which is probably one of the most important aspects of the game.
Players should try and play this game often to see if they can get stronger Pokemon. They will also want to play at least every day because they can get refining coupons. These allow the speed up of ore by an hour for every one collected. Definitely good to use if players want to refine as many ores as possible daily.
There is also a ranking board, for each island. The reward at the end depending on the rank is just gems but it is nice to be on the list. The list is graded based on the top three Pokemon a player owns, so it is good to find the best of the best Pokemon. While not easy with the number of people playing it is just another nice bonus.
Pokemon Rumble Rush might not be the greatest mobile game out there, but it is rather fun in spurts. There are new islands every few weeks to keep things interesting, and new Pokemon will continue to be added too. If the player has any free time and wants to pick up this game it is free to play. There are islands filled with Pokemon, will the player collect them all?
