Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a wave of exciting news from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. 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 much-anticipated battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.
The buzz around Pokémon Champions is palpable, especially since it's being developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game is set to focus solely on competitive battling, stripping away the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges. It's a fresh take that's sure to excite battle enthusiasts.
What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?
Pokémon Champions promises to be a thrilling multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While the specific game modes remain a mystery, the anticipation is high for what's in store.
One of the most compelling aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This means you can bring some of your favorite Pokémon from previous games into the fray. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a select group will be ready to battle from the get-go.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company is clearly aiming 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, you can check out the announcement trailer below to get a taste of what's coming.
