Pokemon Champions to expand its roster this summer with beginner-friendly pacing

Pokemon Champions’ producer Masaaki Hoshino says the current ~200-Pokemon roster will grow this summer, with new Pokemon added roughly every three months and held-item restrictions being eased. The limited initial roster was designed to make battles understandable for newcomers, and balance changes will continue as the game evolves. The rollout prioritizes the smartphone release, with gradual, beginner-friendly additions and potential future system tweaks (e.g., Mega Evolutions) as the player base grows.
