Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during a special Pokémon Presents stream. Highlights included a look at Pokémon Legends: Z-A and teasers for Pokémon Concierge and the upcoming battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.
We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions, a collaborative project between The Pokémon Company and Game Freak. This game focuses exclusively on competitive battling, ditching the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, traversing tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges.
What We Know About Pokémon Champions
Pokémon Champions is a multiplayer experience with cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details on game modes remain under wraps, the potential for diverse gameplay is exciting.
A key feature is its integration with Pokémon Home, allowing players to import beloved Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a curated selection will be usable initially.
Pokémon Champions appears poised to provide a dedicated space for competitive battling, offering high-stakes matches without the distractions of the main series games. For now, enjoy the trailer below, and stay tuned for further updates.
