Pokémon Champions is speeding up its battles to just four minutes, down from ten in Pokémon Unite. Producer Masaaki Hoshino mentioned that this change is meant to keep players engaged, allowing for more frequent matches regardless of winning or losing.
The team made several adjustments, like quicker animations and less downtime between turns, while maintaining the game's dynamic feel. Players can now forfeit at any time, and there's a new way to determine winners in case of a tie. With new Pokémon and items, are you ready for these fast-paced battles?
