Feedback - Pokémon Unite
I'm a veteran Unite player and would love to give some feedback, based on a compilation I did with my friends that also play Unite for a long time about what we would like to see in the game's future patchs.
1 - Most of all, we would like to see the game launching on PC. We are all League of Legends players too and most of us use our cellphone to play the game, but don't want to spend a fortune on a Nintendo Switch only to play the Console version. I'm sure, lots of new players would come to the game if it was on PC, like the TCG already is there;
2 - I, personally, play the Nintendo Switch version, but I would love to see the game have an upgrade for Nintendo Switch 2. The game would look and feel much better with a proper port: better resolution, fps, graphics and all that could come with that. Also, would make visibility for the eShop even better witch Switch 2 ports having a nicer filter on the console, please, consider it;
3 - The game needs a better sense of rewards for long time players to continue playing. We need new achivements for using our favorite Pokémon. The marks on loading screens are the only thing that shows we are veteran players using that specific Pokémon. I would like to have new things, like "You can use that Pokémon's shiny version if you have XX points" or "You gain a recolor skin of your choosing if you gain XX points", "You can use that Pokémon's dubbed version voice", "You can use new shinier effect on abilities, if you gain XX points", "Unlock new moves if you play XX times"... You know what I mean.
4 - Ranked/Casual games should have an unified queue to facilitate finding better games, without the use of bots all the time. None of us play Casual anymore, because it is always against THE SAME bots. Bots don't use newer Pokémon and always have the same path of movement. Let us choose various maps and if we want bots. If that's not possible, at least improve the bots difficult and variation of Pokémon/strategy they use;
5 - Please, don't move us to overseas servers. The game is competitive and we can't play against japanese players with 300 ms ping. Let us be on queue for as long as necessary to play a game witch quality and without lag. Or at least let us choose if we want to be moved from our closest server to another, like other games do (like Marvel Rivals);
6 - Release new maps with different objectives, like helping move a payload, maintain control of an area, 5x1 mode, something new that counts as ranked games. We have had the same style of gameplay forever and would be nice to have something completely new.
7 - Increase the emblems with new Pokémon's from other generations. Also improve their effects, so it can really make difference on games;
8 - Let us use one or two more held items. It sucks to play the mega evolved Pokémon and 1 item is already the stone;
9 - Remove the energy system and create something new. It's been years with the same rewards. We already have all of them and it is no longer cool. If you can't, at least improve it with new rewards;
10 - Let us obtain skins easily. It's painful to want a skin on the systems outside the store. Or at least put older skins on the store so we can buy it easily;
11 - Create a system that let us obtain skins for free, like Overwatch, Marvel Rivals and League of Legends do. Events that makes us grind for gems would make us play the game even more. You can attach it to ranked;
12 - Ranked prizes sucks. We don't want outfits or sticks for our user cards. We want something for the Pokémon themselves.

Well, I agree with your 12 points... I'd just add one more... they need to overhaul the Pokomon license mechanism.
The current grind demotivates newer players, especially F2P... knowing it’ll take months or even close to a year if they don't play all the time to unlock their favorite Pokemon.
