On Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company thrilled fans by unveiling details about Pokémon Champions, a new addition to the beloved franchise. This announcement was made during a special Pokémon Presents presentation streamed globally, celebrating the original launch of Pokémon video games back in 1996.
Developed by The Pokémon Works in partnership with Game Freak, Pokémon Champions aims to deliver the core excitement of Pokémon battles in a focused, multiplayer setting, tailored for those who love competitive play. It continues the tradition of trainers pitting their skills against one another in strategic showdowns.
Unlike other games in the series, Pokémon Champions is all about battling, offering a streamlined format for high-stakes matches. It's designed for both seasoned trainers and newcomers, featuring familiar mechanics like Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves, fostering a dynamic environment where strategy reigns supreme.
A standout feature of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This cloud-based service connects core Pokémon games across different platforms, allowing you to bring your favorite Pokémon from past adventures into the new game.
However, not all Pokémon from Pokémon Home will be immediately usable in Pokémon Champions. While the selection may be limited at the start, you'll still have numerous options to build a team of both classic and new Pokémon for your battles.
Pokémon Champions will be playable on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, supporting cross-platform play for a seamless gaming experience on the go. With various modes expected, there's something for every type of trainer, whether you prefer quick duels or more in-depth strategic battles.
