Pokémon as a franchise has ventured into many video game genres outside of the usual JRPG, such as dungeon-crawlers in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, the on-rails "shooter" where you shoot pictures of Pokémon in Pokémon Snap, as well as fighting games like Pokkén Tournament DX and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
While there's no telling whether this game will join the other Pokémon titles in being some of the best multiplayer games on the Nintendo Switch, it's always great to see the franchise branching out in different directions, seeking to include fans from all walks of life.
