On Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company thrilled fans with an exciting announcement about Pokémon Champions, a new addition to the iconic Pokémon franchise. The reveal was made during a special Pokémon Presents presentation streamed globally, celebrating the original launch of Pokémon video games back in 1996.
Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak, Pokémon Champions is set to deliver the essence of Pokémon battles in a focused multiplayer experience, tailor-made for fans of competitive play. This game continues the legacy of trainers challenging each other, showcasing their strategic prowess.
Unlike other games in the series, Pokémon Champions is solely dedicated to battling, offering a streamlined format for high-stakes matches. It's designed for both seasoned trainers and newcomers, featuring familiar mechanics such as Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves, which foster a dynamic environment where strategy reigns supreme.
A standout feature of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This cloud-based service connects the core Pokémon franchises across various platforms, enabling you to transfer your favorite Pokémon from previous games into Pokémon Champions.
However, it's worth noting that only certain Pokémon available through Pokémon Home will be eligible for use in Pokémon Champions, at least initially. While not all Pokémon will be available, you'll still have a wide range of options to build a team from classics and new additions for your battles.
Pokémon Champions will be playable on both the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, supporting cross-platform play for on-the-go battles. With multiple modes expected to be available, there’s something for every trainer, whether you prefer quick duels or more in-depth strategic matches.
