Kirby: Pokemon Allies

Kirby: Pokémon Allies is a game players can download from Nintendo eShop for the Switch. The game plays fairly similarly to Kirby: Star Allies, but has some major key differences. One of the key differences is that 1) you use pokeballs instead of friend hearts, and 2) Dreamland is crawling with Pokémon now.
==Gameplay==
A lot of the gameplay is taken from Kirby: Star Allies. Though there are a few differences. For instance, Kirby doesn't use Friend Hearts, so he won't be able to turn Kirby Enemies into Allies. However, Pokémon does get Pokeballs.
====Pokeballs====
Replacing Friend Hearts are Pokeballs, devices used to contain Pokémon. With these in hand, Kirby is able to throw a ball with the X button, and hopefully capture a Pokémon. Unlike Friend Hearts, Kirby can't throw them willy nilly. He has to collect Pokeballs as items in order to throw them. Pokeballs can be found hidden in certain levels, or bought in stores for Stars. There are multiple different Pokeballs, so players will have to go into the menu to swap what kind of Pokeball they use. Each Pokeball type has different stats associated with them.
====Pokémon====
Now, the world of Dreamland is crawling with mysterious creatures called Pokémon. They'll be found wandering throughout many of the levels. They'll be seen trying to attack Kirby and his allies, and each contain an ability Kirby can absorb. However, Kirby can also throw a Pokeball at them in order to make them into an ally. However, depending on the strength of the Pokémon, they can resist capture, so Kirby may need a stronger Pokeball.
===Maps===
Kirby will encounter many platforming stages, like usual, but throughout the map, there are encounters. Said encounters are represented as other characters that show up on the map. These characters are often seen with other Pokémon in tow, and seem to team up with them. A few are seen using elements the Pokémon wields in order to boost their weapon, some are seen being thrown around by their Pokémon, and so on and so forth. The Pokémon can be knocked down, but that won't end the battle. The fight only ends when the trainer is beaten. Though, if a Pokémon is knocked down, the trainer will usually try to revive them like Kirby would revive one of his allies.
====Encounters====
Image 	Name 	Description 	World
In Progress	King Dedede, Machoke, and Empoleon	It seems King Dedede's gotten his hands on two dangerous Pokémon: Machoke and Empoleon. For this encounter, Dedede uses a lot of his normal moves (swings of the hammers, dashing and tripping, inhaling, high jumping to slam on Kirby, hammer spins, etc.). However, he'll frequently stand back and let one of his Pokémon do the work. Machoke is seen performing a short combo of slow punches (usually ending in a double-fist slam), attempt to throw a boulder at Kirby, will try to leap to slam his fists on Kirby/Allies, and will sometimes try to dash forwards and grab a good guy for a painful throw. Empoleon, meanwhile, is, for one, significantly faster than Machoke, will belly slide across the floor to try and ram Kirby, will try to slash at Kirby with his flipper, will try to send forth far-reaching waves of damaging water, and will sometimes try to unleash a high-powered beam of water. After knocking Dedede to half health, he'll start using friend abilities with his Pokémon. He'll start by having Empoleon empower his hammer with water, so now his hammer attacks unleash splashes and drops of water. In addition, sometimes he'll leap into Machoke's arms, before the Fighting Pokémon throws Dedede around the screen.	Dreamland
===Bosses===

In Progress	Snorlax	Lying near the edge of Dreamland is a grand, gluttonous, lazybones. In battle, he's very lethargic, slow, but pretty big. He usually crawls towards Kirby and allies, sometimes rolls over them, slowly swipe at them, and try to bodyslam them. At half health, the Pokémon stands up to full height. Now, he can walk across the field at a somewhat higher speed, will leap a fairly short distance for bodyslams, will attempt some groundpounds, and will even deliver a powerful hyper beam.	Dreamland
