The director of Champions just updated their LinkedIn. Development on Champions began in 2024 and ended last month. A shadow drop in the next couple weeks is likely.

To be fair, Champions is not a main game, it's not supposed to have a whole region map or a storyline.
It's basically the battle engine, some interface, a server to host battles, and 3D models/animations for pokémon, moves, stadium etc. A lot of which is already done or can be adapted and tweaked from preexisting work.
Considering that, a year of development isn't that crazy

It's most likely gonna be announced at Worlds.
When they announced the ruleset for 2026 they had Megas plastered all over.

There's Mega shilling all fucking over left and right, and we all know there's no way SV is gonna get updated to have Megas, and ZA is obviously a no-go for PvP. And with all the Mega shilling through all the media it would be kinda silly for only VGC to keep doing Tera while everything and everyone is doing Mega.

As much as I want to believe, that was also the announcement for all the other games, and TCG and probably others are having a MegaMoment as well

You do realize that all they had to do to make pokemon champions is copy showdown's open source code and slap some animations on right?

I know, specified that, that's why I mentioned how VGC would end up looking super silly being the only one left behind.
You've gotta remember that at the end of the day these things are shilling vehicles first and actual competitions second. The marketing cycle must be upheld yes or yes.

The original trailer for Champions showed Megas and Tera in the same battle. I wonder if we'll see something like Sept 25-Dec 25 still use Tera, but in Champions, Jan 26- April 26 (after ZA is out) Megas in Champions with no Tera, then May 26 - Aug 26 (so Worlds next year) Megas and Tera.

I don't have any proof this profile has existed for years. Retarded is believing bullshit at face value. Why his English alt would have more info than his main JP account?
I stand corrected if you provide an archive link dated several years in the past.

>>57981942
All I know is that the VGC season was going to start in july and then suddenly it was reported to start in september instead. TCG and GO seasons still started this month. Last year all three started in july.

What's there to be hyped about or discuss at this point? They literally showed us nothing but some flashy animations. Could be they finally made every move visually engaging, but experience says otherwise, even the stadium games had their share of particle effects and model waggling.

If version 1.0 is ready they might drop it during or after the presents on the 22nd, there'll probably be at least another trailer with a bit more info. Either way, not much to say until then unless you want to get into pure speculation.

what does pokemon battle look like with access to megas, dynamax, tera and z moves anyway? sounds like chaos, you truly never know what you'll be facing until the battle starts

It's gonna be endless rotating formats to be sure.
If everything's allowed then literally no reason to pick anything but mememax.
