Pokémon Champions is the upcoming competitive title that’ll redefine Nintendo’s most popular esport. Although it hasn’t been released yet, we know that Champions won’t feature every Pokémon at its initial launch, a sore spot for many longtime fans of the franchise.
There’s no shortage of popular Pokémon to pick, but with over 1,000 creatures in total, quite a few fan-favourites will likely be missing from the roster. For Pokémon Champions to blossom into the next step in Pokémon’s evolution on the competitive stage, it’ll need to offer a place for all of the distinct creatures Nintendo has created over the years.
