Pokémon Champions – also located at booth 18031 – is a new battle-focused game for the Nintendo Switch system where players engage in online Single and Double Battles using familiar gameplay mechanics from previous Pokémon series games, including Pokémon types, Abilities, and more. Challenge opponents from around the world in Ranked Battles or Casual Battles or host Private Battles with friends and family. Pokémon Champions will also be compatible with Pokémon HOME, allowing you to team up with certain Pokémon partners brought over from past Pokémon series games and from Pokémon GO.

What’s more, attendees can check in at the Nintendo desk in the North Lobby to sign-up for a My Nintendo account or use their existing account to receive My Nintendo Platinum Points as well as a Super Mario Bros.
