The buzz around the new battle sim, Pokémon Champions, is palpable.

It's a game designed for those who thrive on the thrill of battle.

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

Pokémon Champions promises to be a thrilling multiplayer experience. With cross-platform play, it will be accessible on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, ensuring that fans can engage in high-stakes battles no matter where they are. The game will offer multiple modes, although the specifics remain a mystery for now.

One of the most exciting aspects of Pokémon Champions is its integration with Pokémon Home. This feature will allow players to bring in some of their favorite Pokémon from previous games, adding a personal touch to their competitive line-ups. However, it's worth noting that not all Pokémon will be available at launch; only a select group will be usable initially.

With Pokémon Champions, The Pokémon Company seems to be carving out a dedicated space for competitive play, free from the usual distractions found in the main series. While we await more details, you can get a taste of what's to come by watching the trailer below.
