Pokémon Day was celebrated on February 27th, and The Pokémon Company delighted fans with a special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the exciting announcements was a sneak peek at the upcoming video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the much-anticipated battle simulation game, Pokémon Champions.
The buzz is all about Pokémon Champions, a new battle sim developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game is all about competitive battling, stripping away the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, journeying through tall grass, and earning Gym Badges. It's a fresh take, focusing purely on the thrill of the battle.
What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?
Pokémon Champions offers a multiplayer experience with the exciting feature of cross-platform play, available on both the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about the various modes are yet to be revealed, players can expect multiple ways to engage in the competitive scene.
One of the most compelling aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This connection allows players to bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games, enhancing the personal touch to their battles. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be immediately available at launch; only a select group will be usable initially.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to provide a dedicated space for competitive play, focusing on high-stakes battles without the distractions typically found in the main series games. As we await more details, fans can check out the announcement trailer below to get a taste of what's to come.
