The Pokémon Company Announces New Battle Sim Pokémon Champions for Android

Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a flurry of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Highlights included a glimpse into Pokémon Legends: Z and teasers for Pokémon Concierge and the upcoming battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.

We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions, a collaboration between The Pokémon Company and Game Freak. This game focuses solely on competitive battling, ditching the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges.

What We Know About Pokémon Champions

Pokémon Champions is a multiplayer game with cross-platform play on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about 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 their favorite Pokémon from previous games. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; a curated selection will be initially playable.

Pokémon Champions appears poised to provide a dedicated platform for competitive battling, removing the usual distractions of the core series and focusing on high-stakes matches. For now, enjoy the trailer below, and stay tuned for further updates.
