Yesterday, February 27th, marked Pokémon Day, and The Pokémon Company celebrated with a special Pokémon Presents stream packed with exciting announcements. Among the highlights was a sneak peek at the upcoming video game Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the eagerly awaited battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.
The buzz is all about Pokémon Champions, a new battle sim developed by The Pokémon Works in partnership with Game Freak. This game focuses purely on competitive battling, leaving out the traditional elements like catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and collecting 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 and available on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about the various modes are still under wraps, the game promises to offer a variety of ways to engage in high-stakes battles.
One of the standout features of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This connection allows players to bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a selected roster will be usable initially.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to provide a dedicated space for competitive play, focusing on intense battles without the distractions typically found in the main series games. While we await more details, you can check out the announcement trailer below.
