Pokémon Masters
DeNA have opened pre-registration for Pokémon Masters. The game has an expected release date of August 29th 2019. With this, some new trailers have been released and have been added to our Pre-Release Videos Section. With this, more mechanics have been unveiled
Characters are mostly obtained in-story and through events, but also you can spend money on Scouting Missions. If you get a duplicate character, it levels up their Sync Move.
Each Sync Pair has got 6 stats, the same as you'd expect from the main games. Sync Pairs have certain roles that showcase what they focus on such as Support, Tech and offense
You can Level up your Sync Pairs through standard play but can use items to unlock level caps to reach higher levels. You can also do special Training missions to get increased experience and rewards
You can use TMs to teach new moves to your Pokémon.
When you reach a specific level, you can then evolve the Pokémon in your Sync Pair as part of a Sync Pair story
There are passive skills which act like Abilities in the main game such as powering up moves in a pinch, preventing KO from max HP, preventing Confusion and so forth
Each Sync Pair has a ☆ potential, but using items you can increase the potential even higher which boosts their general stats
Edit @ 06:06: Added more Sync Pairs
Edit: A special preview version of the game, featuring a small part of content, will be available in Singapore on Android later today and in Canada soon. Progress in the preview version will carry over to the main game when it releases

Edit @ 12:28: I have created an update to the Sync Pairs page which contains a unique page for each Pokémon. As we get game data, we'll add all elements including the Sync Pair's stats and moves with each Pokémon in the pairing as well as what requirements are needed, any story tasks and more.
Edit @ 15:18: According to an interview with Famitsu, the game will launch there will be 18 Story Chapters but more will be added gradually over time and the plan is for the game to have new updates around once a month
