Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was a sneak peek at the upcoming game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the much-anticipated battle sim, Pokémon Champions.
The spotlight for many fans was on Pokémon Champions, the new battle sim developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game focuses solely on competitive battling, stripping away the traditional elements like catching Pokémon, journeying through tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges.
What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?
Pokémon Champions promises a thrilling multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play that will be available on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about the various modes are still under wraps, players can look forward to diving into multiple battle formats.
One of the most appealing aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature allows players to bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games, though not all Pokémon will be available at launch. Only a select group of Pokémon will be usable when the game first releases.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to create a dedicated space for competitive play, focusing on high-stakes battles without the distractions typically found in the main series games. As more details are revealed, fans can stay updated by checking out the trailer below.
