Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought a wave of exciting announcements from The Pokémon Company during their special Pokémon Presents stream. 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 the much-anticipated battle simulator, Pokémon Champions.

The buzz around Pokémon Champions is palpable, especially since it's being developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with Game Freak. This game is set to focus exclusively on competitive 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 promises to be a thrilling multiplayer experience, featuring cross-platform play across Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. While the game will offer multiple modes, specifics about these are yet to be revealed, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more details.

One of the most exciting aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature allows players to transfer some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games into the battle sim. However, it's important to note that not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a select group will be usable initially.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company aims to provide a dedicated platform for competitive play, focusing on 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 to get a taste of what's to come.
