So we recently heard announcements that DeNA was developing a new Pokémon mobile game sometime this year, and... this is not that game! Pokémon Rumble Rush seems to be a mindless tapper & collector pitched towards playing on the can, and, if you're hopelessly addicted to gambling, spending real money.

Kotaku has some more details about the gameplay loop, some screens and a short video.

Anyone plan on trying this game?

I can assume it will be similar to previous Pokemon Rumble games, originating on the Wii. This is a good fit for mobile, I can't imagine I'll invest time into this though.

Been playing it and it's not that great.

Get to a point where you need a 1130 CP mon but the game will only give you 700-1050 CP mon with the higher ones being super rare and even then you need to hope they have the right move for your gears and have 2 gear slots. Upgrading gears is a pain since getting coins is a pain in the ass you you're stuck for ages either grinding or waiting for coins
