Among the productions based on the Pokemon license, one can find representatives of various genres. One of them is Pokemon Champions, a battle game developed by The Pokemon Company and its subordinate studio The Pokemon Works.
In Pokemon Champions, we take on the role of a trainer along with his Pokemon fighting for victory in arenas. The pillar of the game is turn-based duels, to which we field the creatures we own. Individual monsters differ from each other in terms of skills and strengths and weaknesses. This makes it necessary to send Pokemons into battle that are able to counter the opponents' attacks, while using their weaknesses to our advantage. The game allows you to choose the soundtrack, to the accompaniment of which the skirmishes with our participation are taking place.
As we progress, we earn Victory Points, allowing us to recruit new Pokémon, as well as develop the ones we already have. In addition, thanks to the so-called Omni Ring, selected creatures can undergo mega-evolution, reaching their most powerful forms.
Pokemon Champions allows for multiplayer gameplay over the Internet. The title offers three battle modes, the most important of which are Ranked Battles. Within them we fight skirmishes with trainers from all over the world, and the results achieved affect our position in the rankings. They are also a source of Victory Points. In addition, there are Casual Battles and Private Battles, the format of which is determined by the player himself.

Pokemon Champions is a competent option for those that only care about Pokemon battles, but it doesn't offer much else.

Billed as a battle-first game, Pokémon Champions has a lot of potential.

Pokémon Champions, at launch, is a solid start to the new Pokémon battling experience on Nintendo Switch. Robust, flexible mechanics for newcomers to enter the battle scene and customisation for more seasoned players. As a free-to-play game, there is a surprising amount on offer - full battle modes and rental Pokémon, with paid content primarily reserved for cosmetics/time savers and storage. Pokémon Champions isn't without its choppy performance in areas and missing content, but it is a strong start that's bound to... evolve over time.
