Pokémon Day was celebrated yesterday, February 27th, and The Pokémon Company marked the occasion with a flurry of exciting announcements during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was a sneak peek at the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the highly anticipated battle simulation game, 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 poised to revolutionize the competitive battling scene by focusing solely on high-stakes battles, leaving behind the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and earning Gym Badges.
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 specific details about the various modes are yet to be revealed, the game is sure to offer diverse ways to engage in competitive play.
One of the most compelling aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature allows players to transfer some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games into the battle sim. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be available at launch, and only a curated selection will be accessible initially.
With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company is clearly aiming to provide a dedicated platform for competitive play, free from the distractions typically found in the main series games. As we await further details, you can get a glimpse of what's in store by watching the trailer below.
