Pokémon Day was celebrated on February 27th, and The Pokémon Company unveiled exciting news during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was a glimpse of the upcoming video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the highly anticipated battle sim, Pokémon Champions.
Our excitement peaks with the announcement of Pokémon Champions, the new battle sim developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game focuses solely on competitive battling, leaving behind the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and earning Gym Badges.
What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?
Pokémon Champions is designed as a multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play for both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific game modes remain undisclosed, the promise of diverse battle options adds to the anticipation.
A significant feature of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home, allowing players to import some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be immediately available, and only a select group will be usable at the game's launch.
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. Stay tuned for more details, and in the meantime, check out the announcement trailer below.
