A new era of Pokémon Battling is about to take off!
Developed collaboratively by The Pokémon Works and GAME FREAK, Pokémon Champions is designed to broaden the accessibility of core Pokémon battles. Players can engage in battles reminiscent of the main series, testing their skills against Trainers globally. The game offers compatibility with Pokémon HOME, enabling the integration of Pokémon from previous titles into players’ teams. Pokémon Champions will be available on the Nintendo Switch family of systems and mobile devices.
The trailer started off with a nostalgic trip through the eras of connecting with friends to battle across devices, passing through each generation of consoles to reveal Switch and Mobile players connecting through Pokémon Champions in an epic battle scene.
The gameplay shown is likely not actual gameplay but gives us a look into how battles will take shape. We also spotted that both Mega Evolutions and Tera Forms were battling 1v1 on the same stage, which raises the question as to what guidelines or limitations there will be regarding past game mechanics.
Pokemon Champions will also connect with Pokemon Home so that players can battle with their favorites from Pokémon Go, Scarlet & Violet (and other Pokemon Game compatible with Home).
Stay tuned for more updates soon!
