After months of speculation and leaks, Pokémon Champions, a brand-new multiplayer battle-focused Pokémon game, has finally been revealed! Developed through a collaboration between Game Freak and The Pokémon Works (a joint venture between The Pokémon Company and ILCA, the studio behind Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl), this game promises a fresh take on Pokémon battles.
Pokémon Champions utilizes the series' core battle system, allowing players to engage in online battles against each other. The trailer showcased both Mega Evolution and Terastalization, hinting at a broad selection of Pokémon and battle styles across various generations.
Excitingly, Pokémon Champions will integrate with Pokémon Home, enabling players to transfer their Pokémon from other games into the fray. This long-awaited feature finally gives players a purpose for those hundreds of Pokémon gathering digital dust in their boxes.Currently in development for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, Pokémon Champions lacks a concrete release date. However, it's confirmed that the game will support Latin American Spanish at launch, in addition to other languages.
