Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a wave of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was a glimpse into the upcoming video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, as well as teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the much-anticipated battle simulation game, Pokémon Champions.
The buzz around Pokémon Champions is palpable, especially since it's being developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game is set to focus exclusively on competitive battling, stripping away the traditional elements of Pokémon games such as catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and earning Gym Badges.
What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?
Pokémon Champions promises to be a thrilling multiplayer experience with cross-platform play, available on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about the game modes are yet to be revealed, fans can look forward to diving into various competitive formats.
One of the most exciting features of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This means players can bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games, though not all Pokémon will be immediately available at launch. Only a select roster of Pokémon will be usable when the game first comes out.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to create a dedicated space for high-stakes competitive play, free from the usual distractions found in the main series games. As more details emerge, fans can stay updated by watching the announcement trailer below.
