Pokemon Unitehas just surpassed an impressive milestone. The free-to-play title is the first foray into the popular MOBA genre for thePokemonseries, and thus far it appears to be a success. There isa lot to love aboutPokemon Unite, and now the latest thing to relish is that players will soon receive free Aeos Tickets as a celebration for the game being downloaded by millions of players.
WhenPokemon Unitewas first announced there were some who wondered about the IP dipping its toes into the MOBA realm. But a triumphantfirst half of season 1 ofPokemon Unitewill come to an end on September 22, which is the same day that the game will be released on mobile devices.

Pokemon Unitehas been downloaded over nine million times since launching on July 21 for the Nintendo Switch. That is an extraordinary amount in less than two months. One thing that likely helped the game receive a big following is thefree-to-play nature ofPokemon Unite, which is a rare barrier of entry for the series on console.
To commemorate the occasion, all Trainers will receive 2,000 Aeos Tickets starting on September 29.Aeos Tickets are one of the currencies inPokemon Unite, along with the likes of Aeos Coins, Fashion Tickets, and Holowear Tickets. It certainly is exciting to receive the free currency for being a part of the group that helpedPokemon Uniteget off to a successful start.
Aeos Tickets are used for quite a few different things inPokemon Unite. Players will be able to use them to purchase clothes for the Trainer in the Aeos Emporium, as well as Item Enhancers and other products. Players can gain Aeos Tickets by logging in daily, leveling up, via Battle Pass rewards, and more. Of course, the 2,000 free Aeos Tickets is a not-too-shabby way to receive the currency as well.
It will be interesting to seePokemon Unitecontinue to evolve moving forward. Even though the Nintendo Switch has been remarkably successful and now has sold around 90 million units,Pokemon Unite’s release on mobile will allow countless players the chance to enjoy it. The around 10% attachment rate for Switch users that gavePokemon Unitethe old college try is great, but nothing compares to the near-endless opportunity that a mobile platform provides.
Pokemon Uniteis available now on Nintendo Switch and releases September 22 for mobile devices.
