Pokémon Champions launches to mixed reception, as performance woes and competitive changes turn some away
Pokémon Champions has launched to a mixed reception, with players citing performance issues such as a 30FPS lock on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and clunky menus. The game's strict adherence to the VGC format, excluding the popular 6v6 singles battles and a limited roster of Pokémon and items, has also disappointed a segment of the competitive community. However, some players see potential in the current state, anticipating future content updates and appreciating the focus on less common items.
