PokémonNow
Experience the thrill of catching all your favorite Pokémon from any device with our cloud-based gaming service.
INTRODUCTION
In this UX case study, we will examine the user experience of trying to access the vast library of Pokémon games, and the challenges faced by players in doing so. By conducting user research and evaluating data, we will identify pain points in the current process of accessing Pokémon games, such as cost, device compatibility, and ease of use. Based on these findings, I propose a cloud gaming service as a solution to these challenges, which will aim to improve the user experience and make it easy for players to access and play all the Pokémon games they want on any device. Through the implementation of this service, My goal is to make the journey of "catching 'em all" more seamless and enjoyable for the users.
The Problem
With over 20 main series games and various spin-offs and 122 games in total to date, the Pokémon franchise offers a vast array of gaming experiences for players of all ages. However, obtaining access to every single one of these games can be a daunting task, both in terms of the cost and the various platforms and devices on which they are available.
