NEW POKEMON GAME IN DEVELOPMENT

Washington, Dec. 10: With Pokemon: Detective Pikachu movie right around the corner, fans will be pleased to know that The Pokemon Company is apparently gearing up to make another Pokemon mobile game, according to job listings.

The listing, which was spotted in LinkedIn first by Game Informer, is for a Principal Game Designer, and specifically mentions that experience in designing mobile games is preferred.

Interestingly, the listing also reveals that the team is looking for someone with experience in Unity.

Currently, the only Pokemon game that uses the Unity engine is Pokemon Trading Card Game, which is available only on tablets.

In other words, it’s possible that The Pokemon Company is working on bringing the game to mobile phones. Or, this could be for something entirely new.

The job description reads as follows:

“The Principal Game Designer will work within a team of designers, engineers, artists, producers, and tester to create an upcoming mobile game. We are looking for a creative individual that not only understands the secret sauce to fun games but also can communicate that vision to others. This candidate will spend a lot of time coordinating with both Studio leadership and individual contributors and must have fantastic people skills.”
