The Pokémon Company Announces New Battle Sim Pokémon Champions for Android

Pokémon Day was celebrated yesterday, February 27th, and The Pokémon Company marked the occasion with an exciting Pokémon Presents stream. Among the announcements was a sneak peek at the upcoming video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and the highly anticipated battle simulation game, Pokémon Champions.

The buzz is all about Pokémon Champions, a game that's all about competitive battling. Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak, this title is strictly focused on battling, leaving behind the traditional elements of catching Pokémon, exploring tall grass, and collecting Gym Badges.

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

Pokémon Champions is designed as a multiplayer experience, offering cross-platform play for both Nintendo Switch and mobile device users. While the specific game modes remain a mystery for now, players can look forward to diving into various competitive formats.

One of the most exciting features of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This allows players to transfer some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games into the new battle sim. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be immediately available at launch, and only a select group will be usable from the start.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company is carving out a dedicated space for competitive play, offering high-stakes battles without the distractions typically found in the main series games. As we await further details, you can check out the announcement trailer below.
