The release date for Pokemon Champions on Nintendo Switch has been revealed.
The game will release on 8 April and have Nintendo Switch 2 enhancements at launch. Pokemon Champions will also release on mobile later this year.
Pokemon Champions is a bit like Pokemon Stadium in that players will take part in the core Pokemon battling experience against both human and AI opponents.
The game will also support Pokemon HOME connectivity, meaning players can bring in some of their favorite Pokemon from previous games, including Pokemon GO.
Several Mega-Evolved Pokemon have been confirmed, including Mega Meganium, Mega Emboar and Mega Feraligatr.
