In Radical New Pokémon Game, Pokémon Train Humans for Battles

TOKYO, Japan — In a shocking twist on its long-standing franchise, Nintendo has announced a forthcoming game, ‘Pokémon Reverse,’ where Pokémon catch and train humans for battles. The company’s controversial move comes amidst declining game sales and a desperate bid to stay relevant in a world rapidly shifting towards augmented reality experiences. In ‘Pokémon Reverse,’ Pokémon will traverse a realistic virtual world, hunting humans to add to their collection. They will then train these humans to compete in a variety of everyday tasks such as filling out spreadsheets, attending Zoom meetings, and brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Nintendo, known for its light-hearted and family-friendly content, has ignited a fierce debate amongst fans and critics alike. Some are eagerly anticipating the game’s fresh perspective, while others are concerned about the implications of the game’s ‘uncomfortably realistic’ depiction of office battles. <a href="https://theturniptimes.medium.com/in-radical-new-pok%C3%A9mon-game-pok%C3%A9mon-train-humans-for-battles-59cfb0f79cb5">Website</a>
