On Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company revealed exciting details about Pokémon Champions, a new addition to the Pokémon franchise. The announcement was made during a special Pokémon Presents presentation broadcast globally, marking the anniversary of the original Pokémon video game launch in 1996.
Created in collaboration with Game Freak by The Pokémon Works, Pokémon Champions aims to deliver the core excitement of Pokémon battles in a focused, multiplayer experience tailored for competitive players. It continues the tradition of trainers competing to demonstrate their strategic prowess.
This latest entry differs from previous titles in the series by focusing solely on battling, offering players a streamlined format for engaging in intense matches. It caters to both seasoned trainers and newcomers, featuring familiar mechanics such as Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves, creating a dynamic environment where strategy takes center stage.
A notable feature of Pokémon Champions is its compatibility with Pokémon Home, a cloud-based service connecting the main Pokémon games across platforms. This allows players to import their favorite Pokémon from past titles.
However, initially, only select Pokémon from Pokémon Home will be usable in Pokémon Champions. Although not every Pokémon will qualify, you'll still have numerous options to build your dream team.
Pokémon Champions will launch on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, enabling cross-platform play anytime, anywhere. With various modes expected, there’s something for every type of trainer, whether you prefer fast-paced duels or deeper tactical challenges.
