Pokémon Company Unveils Android Battle Sim: Pokémon Champions

Pokémon Day was a blast on February 27th, filled with exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. Among the highlights was a sneak peek at the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the highly anticipated battle sim, Pokémon Champions.

We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions. Developed by The Pokémon Works in partnership with Game Freak, this game is all about competitive battling—no catching Pokémon, no wandering through tall grass, and no collecting Gym Badges here!

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

Pokémon Champions offers a multiplayer experience with cross-platform play, set to launch on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While specific details on the various modes remain a mystery, the anticipation is high.

One of the most exciting features of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This means you can bring some of your favorite Pokémon from previous games into the battle sim. However, not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a select group will be usable initially.

It appears that The Pokémon Company is creating a dedicated space for competitive play with Pokémon Champions, focusing on high-stakes battles without the traditional elements of the main series. As we await further details, you can check out the trailer below for a glimpse of what's to come.
