PR TIMES

The First Event was a catching contest in the Wild Zone, where wild Pokémon live!
They competed to see who could catch 7 Pokémon the fastest, navigating the highly non-linear exploration (such as climbing ladders and running across roofs) while struggling with Alpha Pokémon.
Meanwhile, some members even took a break at a cafe, leading to a variety of unexpected developments!

The Second Event was a simultaneous 4-player real-time battle!
Unlike the conventional turn-based system, a new system is used where the Trainer and Pokémon move and fight as one.
Watching them utilize items that appear on the stage and skillfully use 3 Pokémon in battle truly makes this a new generation of Pokémon battles!
Furthermore, elements such as Mega Evolution also appear, adding depth to the battle.

The members were in high spirits throughout the new battle format, which is full of action elements and a sense of realism!
The gameplay created tension, with player skill determining the outcome by requiring them to dodge Pokémon moves and counterattack based on precise timing.
