Pokémon Battrio is an arcade title released exclusively in Japan. The only Pokémon arcade game, Battrio featured a unique cell-shaded style coupled with gameplay that fans of the series would be unfamiliar with. The game requires the use of chips that can be purchased, each one containing a different Pokémon. Players will battle their Pokémon by placing the chips on a 4x4 grid. Placing the Pokémon closer within the circle of the grid will cause that Pokémon to attack, while those on the outside will have to wait. All of the Pokémon share the same health, unlike the RPG titles released on handhelds.
