The 2 revealed that the Pokemon battle system that everyone knows might begin altering with future entries and that they made Pokemon Champions to to protect the basic battle system. Right here’s what was mentioned:

“I feel one of many largest causes behind it was that the battle system, the foundations for aggressive Pokémon battles that we’ve been utilizing all through the Pokémon collection for thus lengthy, might steadily begin altering because the Pokémon collection strikes ahead.

And when that occurs, there are individuals who have been having fun with the prevailing model of Pokémon battles for many years, going all the best way again to Pink and Inexperienced, Gold and Silver, and so forth. So merely saying, “The battles have modified, so now please go play the brand new model,” didn’t actually really feel proper both. That was one thing that had been bothering us at Sport Freak for fairly some time.

On the identical time, we clearly need the collection to proceed taking up new challenges. However we additionally didn’t need to neglect the battle system we’ve had up till now. So we thought: possibly it will be good to make one sport that carries ahead the prevailing battle system and lets folks proceed enjoying it indefinitely. I feel that was actually the place to begin for the event of Pokémon Champions.”
