Pokemon Champions could be the series' "biggest announcement in over a decade," says former world champ, because Nintendo might finally be about to separate competitive play from single-player

Key art for Pokemon Champions.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A may have been the star of the show for many fans during last week's Pokemon Presents, but one legendary competitive player thinks that the upcoming PvP game Pokemon Champions may end up changing the series as we know it forever.

From what we've seen so far, Pokemon Champions looks a bit like a modern Pokemon Stadium. The full focus is on PvP battles, and you'll be able to fight alongside your own old 'mons thanks to Pokemon Home compatibility. The game doesn't have a release date yet, but it's in development for both Switch and mobile devices, and, curiously, it includes at least two generational battle "gimmicks" – the Kalos region's Mega Evolution and the Paldea region's Terastalization – seemingly mixing together battle mechanics in a way we've never seen before.
