Welcome to the official Pokémon Forums!
The reasons Pokemon Unite Failed
The number 1 reason is the insane focus on the Chinese market only. All of resources went to Chinese version and the irony is they wanted what already existed. They got all resources into making a better game while we literally waited 3 months for a fix for the memory leak caused by the marketing department over zealous add on main screen.
Overall the lack of care for the players and human element was the biggest issue. We only had bots outside of rank 90 percent of game wasn't even human. Even in rank we bad humans who would stalk other players, harass them, t bag. Why because surely humans would act normal without moderation.
Wanting money without effort was just pure greed. Please hire talent next time too. .. imagining having to tell development team you forgot to give the new tanks a taunt while reusing assets. Lack quality control maybe actually is a popular Pokemon feature…so I take the last one back.

Despite all that... in short the game is good and has potential to be much better.
But they failed to properly monetize it... everything else is a consequence of that... which inevitably led to the point where they decided it wasn't profitable enough.
Then they just waited for the contractual stuff expiration date to put an end to it all.
