    Pokemon Champions arrives on mobile platforms as a more realized iteration of itself, becoming the most accessible, comprehensive official Pokemon battling experience. The gameplay loop of teambuilding, battling, and recruiting Pokemon is fully present and accounted for in all of its complexity, while translating beautifully into a mobile setting. It's certainly been getting better since its original release, with recent updates heralding new rulesets, meta-breaking additions to the Pokemon roster and, for the first time in mainline competitive history, regular balance updates. It’s not for everyone, and paywalled progression can hurt the overall gameplay experience, but there’s truly nothing like it.
