The game has been announced for Nintendo Switch as well as Android and iOS, and thus will likely be available to a much wider audience than if it were exclusive to Nintendos console.Pokmon Champions will also feature cross-platform multiplayer between the Nintendo Switch version and the iOS and Android counterparts, and the handheld nature of the game will likely be conducive to quick pick-up games..The game will also include a host of features that competitive players might find interesting. While Nintendo itself hasnt confirmed too many details about the title yet, fans of the franchise going through the announcement trailer have noticed various concepts like Mega Evolution and Terastalization being used.Pokmon Champions will also be allowing players to make use of their vast collection of Pokmon through integration with Pokmon HOME. This means that Pokmon fans that have been carrying over their collection through various generations of Pokmon games can use them to set up their battle teams for Pokmon Champions.For players that might want to dip their toes into the Pokmon Champions scene but dont have a large collection already in Pokmon HOME, the game will feature its own roster of Pokmon for players to choose from.Pokmon Champions doesnt yet have a release date.

Whatever profit we make from Pokemon gets reinvested in Pokemon.If we continue focusing on our mission, Pokemon can probably continue to its 50th or 100th anniversary [] Well go bust when Pokemon is no longer popular, he continued. If we become complacent and go with the flow, thats when Pokemon will go downhill.this could change competitive Pokemon in ways I cant even fathom pic.twitter.com/TPLTreHLBc Wolfey (@WolfeyGlick) February 27, 2025
