Also available to play now is the brand new game mode, “Pika Party.” As the name suggests, it highlights Pikachu in a way never seen before.
When playing Pika Party, not only will you be playing Pikachu, but your allies and enemies will also controlling the cute yellow mascot. Going even further, all of the wild Pokémon will also be Pikachu, so there is absolutely no shortage of the eclectic-type Pokémon to be seen.
This quick play mode will be available to try out for the next month, ending on Sept. 1. If you plan on getting in on the action, don’t wait too long.
While these are all of the new additions to the game announced during Pokémon Presents, it was revealed that there will be three more playable Pokémon added to the game in September, so fans have plenty to look forward to as the year continues.
