A brand new Pokémon Adventure heading to smartphones in japan.

Pokémon Japan began streaming a video on Thursday to reveal Pokémon Comaster, a smartphone game launching in Japan this spring.



HEROZ is developing the "strategy battle board game" for iOS and Android with its artificial intelligence core technology. In the game, players will create their own "deck" of Pokémon figurines (pictured below) and will use different combinations to battle opponents on a board. Players alternate turns with the opponent in an attempt to reach the goal on the other side of the battlefield.



According to The Pokémon Company, the game is Pokémon meets jinkouchinou (人工知能), which is the Japanese word for artificial intelligence. The combination, The Pokémon Company says, makes for a new Pocket Monster experience.

The game, which is free-to-play with online, is a mixture of traditional Pokémon mechanics (capture, train, battle) with strategy-heavy board games like Japanese chess or Go. The game is called “Co-Master” for good reason: The A.I. is also designed to help players as well, apparently making Pokémon Co-Master approachable for beginners.

Pokémon Co-Master was developed by Tokyo-based Heroz, known for creating artificial intelligence that has defeated professional shogi (Japanese chess) players in exhibition matches.
