The Pokémon Company Announces New Battle Sim Pokémon Champions for Android

Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, was a blast with The Pokémon Company unveiling exciting news during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights were glimpses of the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge, and the announcement of their new battle simulation game, Pokémon Champions.

Our excitement peaks with the introduction of Pokémon Champions. Crafted by The Pokémon Works in partnership with Game Freak, this game focuses solely on competitive battling, leaving behind the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and earning Gym Badges. It's a fresh take, designed for those who crave intense, high-stakes battles.

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

Pokémon Champions promises a thrilling multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While the game offers multiple modes, the specifics of these are yet to be revealed, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more details.

One of the most compelling aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature allows you to bring some of your favorite Pokémon from previous games into the new battle arena. However, not all Pokémon will be immediately accessible at launch; only a curated selection will be available to start.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company is carving out a dedicated space for competitive play, free from the distractions of the main series games. As we await further information, you can check out the game's announcement trailer below.
