The best Pokemon games out there are usually found on next-gen consoles such as Nintendo Switch. Although games under the said franchise are also available on PC, it's rare to see a good game outside the handheld industry.

However, fans should not limit themselves to consoles alone when searching for Pokemon games. Even on Android, they can search for gems that they won't expect to come.

For a year-ender tribute to all Pokemon fans, here are the best Pokemon games that you can play on your Android device right now.

Here are some of the best Android video game titles for Pokemon fans.

'Pokemon GO'

The first entry on our list is "Pokemon GO," a very popular AR-based game from Niantic. Unlike the mainstream titles that only feature in-game combat and training, this game gives the users fresh room for new mechanics.

Playing "Pokemon GO" is close to playing the game in nature. This means that you need to walk outside to catch various Pokemon. It's like a daily exercise for the mind and body.

If you want to download this game on Android, make sure that your current OS is 7.0 or later. To smoothly play it on your smartphone, you must have at least 2GB RAM. Don't forget to allot at least 1GB of free space for "Pokemon GO."

'Pokemon Unite'

For "Mobile Legends" or "League of Legends" players on the smartphone, you can explore a similar game on Android featuring cute characters from the Pokemon franchise.

TiMi Studios' "Pokemon Unite" is almost the same as the two previously mentioned. It's a MOBA game that has the objective of defeating enemies through goals. The more goals you can put in their base, the more likely you will seal a victory.

It was once only available for Switch users. TiMi made it cross-playable to smartphone users later to attract more players, especially Pokemon fans.

'Pokemon Masters EX'

"Pokemon Masters EX" is another good Pokemon game that you need to try on Android. It's a strategy-based game where you will use three Pokemon in every match.

You can recruit several characters, including Misty, Brock, Giovanni, and Dawn, and use their ace Pokemon to your advantage.

"Pokemon Masters EX" is still going strong at present, with many special events and rewards that are waiting for the kindred spirits.
