Is Pokmon Unite cross-platform?
Pokmon Unite will be released on the Nintendo Switch in July, but TiMi Studios has reiterated that it wants to have a connected ecosystem between the Switch and mobile versions of the game. Unite wont launch on mobile until September. TiMi plans to have cross-play and cross-progression available from day one, however, so players can seamlessly play on whatever platform they want. Based on early details, players wont need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play. Players will also be able to use their Pokmon Trainer Club account or Nintendo account on platforms to share progress between devices.

Because the focus is on providing players with a connected ecosystem, Unite will be one of the few Switch titles to feature in-game voice chat options. It will also have an independent friend list and a native text/stamp chat.
