Pokémon Company Unveils New Android Battle Sim: Pokémon Champions

Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, was packed with exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was the unveiling of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the highly 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 and focuses solely on competitive battling. Unlike traditional Pokémon games, there will be no catching Pokémon, no wandering through tall grass, and no collecting Gym Badges. This game is all about the thrill of the battle.

What Else Do We Know About Pokémon Champions, the Upcoming Battle Sim?

Pokémon Champions promises to be a dynamic multiplayer experience, boasting cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details about the various modes are yet to be revealed, the anticipation is high for what's in store.

One of the most appealing aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature will allow players to bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games. However, it's important to note that not all Pokémon will be immediately available at launch; only a select group will be usable initially.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company seems to be crafting a dedicated arena for competitive play, offering high-stakes battles free from the typical elements of the main series. As we await further details, you can check out the trailer below to get a glimpse of what's coming.
