The Pokémon Company Unveils New Android Battle Sim: Pokémon Champions

Pokémon Day was celebrated on February 27th, and The Pokémon Company made the occasion special with a Pokémon Presents stream packed with exciting news. Among the highlights was a sneak peek at the upcoming video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, along with teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge and an announcement for their new battle sim, Pokémon Champions.

We're particularly thrilled about Pokémon Champions. This new title, developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak, is all about competitive battling. Forget about catching Pokémon, wandering through tall grass, or collecting Gym Badges—this game is purely focused on high-stakes battles.

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

Pokémon Champions is designed as a multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play. It's set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While the exact details of the various battle modes are still under wraps, anticipation is high.

One of the most exciting aspects 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, and only a select group will be usable initially.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to provide a dedicated space for competitive play, stripping away the distractions typically found in the main series games. As we await more details, you can check out the announcement trailer below.
