On Pokémon Day, The Pokémon Company thrilled fans worldwide with the announcement of Pokémon Champions, a new game dedicated to competitive battling. This exciting reveal was made during a special Pokémon Presents presentation, celebrating the legacy of the Pokémon video games that first launched in 1996.

Developed in collaboration between The Pokémon Works and Game Freak, Pokémon Champions aims to deliver an intense multiplayer experience, focusing on the core excitement of Pokémon battles. It's designed to appeal to both seasoned trainers and newcomers by offering a streamlined format for high-stakes matches, reminiscent of the classic Pokémon Stadium. The game retains the strategic depth of the series with familiar mechanics like Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves, ensuring every battle is a test of skill and strategy.

One of the standout features of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This cloud-based service allows players to transfer their favorite Pokémon from other games into Pokémon Champions. However, at launch, only certain Pokémon will be available for use, giving players a curated selection of classics and new partners to build their competitive teams.

Pokémon Champions will be playable on both the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, supporting cross-platform play. This allows trainers to battle on the go, with multiple game modes catering to different play styles, from quick duels to in-depth strategic matches.
