Chess and poker combined into Pokemon – Pokémon Duel Review

The world of Pokemon has always been one of my favorites to dive into. I love the strategy focus of their core series and how one can either enjoy casually or really grind for perfection. This game definitely falls into the more in depth strategy genre. The chess-like board movements combined with the poker-like probability calculations makes it easy to learn, harder to master. At first glance, I was worried RNG of double wheel spins would be too much to hold real strategy player’s interest, but I love it. Definitely more niche than other games, but if you love chess or texas holdem/blackjack and can make fast brain calcs of your win percentage, you will immensely enjoy this game.
