Pokémon Day, February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company, highlighted by a special Pokémon Presents stream. This included updates on Pokémon Legends: Z-A, teasers for Pokémon Concierge, and a major reveal: Pokémon Champions, a new competitive battle simulator.
We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions. Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak, this game focuses solely on competitive battling. Forget catching Pokémon, traversing tall grass, or collecting Gym Badges; this is pure, strategic Pokémon combat.
What We Know About Pokémon Champions
Pokémon Champions is a multiplayer experience boasting cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specifics are scarce, multiple game modes are planned.
A key feature is its integration with Pokémon Home, allowing you to import beloved Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; a curated selection will be initially playable.
Pokémon Champions appears poised to provide a dedicated, high-stakes competitive battling experience, free from the usual distractions of the main series games. For now, enjoy the trailer below, and stay tuned for more details.
