Last week, The Pokemon Company announced Pokemon Champions, a new way for players all over the world to experience traditional turn-based Pokemon battles on the go.

Since then, the game’s official Japanese website and eshop page have been updated with more details about what fans can expect from the title, including the different online modes that will be available. The descriptions also hint that players will be able to obtain Pokemon within Pokemon Champions, although they cannot be transferred out of the game.
