Pokémon Day, celebrated on February 27th, brought exciting news from The Pokémon Company's Pokémon Presents stream. Highlights included updates on Pokémon Legends: Z, previews of Pokémon Concierge, and a significant announcement: Pokémon Champions, a new competitive battling simulator.
This new title, developed by The Pokémon Works and Game Freak, focuses solely on competitive battles. Forget catching Pokémon, traversing tall grass, or collecting Gym Badges; Pokémon Champions is pure, strategic combat.
