On Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company thrilled fans with the announcement of Pokémon Champions, a new addition to the beloved franchise. The reveal was part of a special Pokémon Presents presentation streamed worldwide, commemorating the original launch of Pokémon video games back in 1996.
Crafted by The Pokémon Works in partnership with Game Freak, Pokémon Champions is set to deliver an intense multiplayer battling experience, designed specifically for fans of competitive play. This game continues the legacy of trainers pitting their skills against one another in strategic battles.
Unlike other entries in the series, Pokémon Champions focuses exclusively on battling, offering a streamlined format for high-stakes matches. It caters to both seasoned trainers and newcomers, incorporating familiar elements like Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves to foster a dynamic, strategy-driven environment.
A standout feature of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This cloud-based service links the core Pokémon games across different platforms, enabling players to import their favorite Pokémon from previous titles. However, initially, only select Pokémon from Pokémon Home will be eligible for use in Pokémon Champions. Despite this limitation, you'll have a wide array of choices to build your team with both classic and new Pokémon.
Pokémon Champions will be accessible on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, supporting cross-platform play for on-the-go battles. With various modes expected, the game promises to cater to every type of trainer, from those who prefer quick duels to those who relish in-depth strategic matches.
