If you’re stuck in queues waiting for hours to be able to play World of Warcraft: Classic, you can definitely pass the time by checking out the newly released Pokemon Masters mobile game. Despite its name, this isn’t a game about Pokemon since you won’t be hunting and collecting little monsters.

Pokemon Masters is about trainers, as players will collect Sync Pairs (the game’s name for trainers) and their set partners. The premise is simple: form a team with three trainers and their Pokemon and target your opponents’ weaknesses to deal more damage.

The goal of the game is to travel the island of Pasio collecting badges and trying to access the higher levels of the leaderboards. There are 65 Sync Pairs available at launch, which can be purchased in-game if you don’t want to try and collect them by playing the game.

Pokemon Masters offers co-op play, so you’ll be able to play with friends all around the world, but you need to teal up with two other players. The game is free to download on both Android and iOS platforms via Google Play Store and App Store.
