Developed in collaboration with Wonderfy Inc., Pokémon Friends features over 1,200 puzzles to collect up to 150 plushies of various Pokémon. You'll have the chance to decorate an in-game room with your newly-acquired plushies, alongside customizing using furniture, wallpapers, and more.

Pokémon Champions release date
Pokémon Champions was originally revealed earlier this year during February's Pokémon Presents. While this latest Pokémon Presents didn't give a specific day, we now know it's planned to launch sometime in 2026.
Pokémon Champions lets you recruit Pokémon temporarily as a trial or permanently using in-game Victory Points that you claim by fighting in battles. You'll also need these points to train your Pokémon according to your and their playstyle.
You'll be able to play in three different modes within Pokémon Champions:
- Ranked Battles: You can fight against other players based on your skill level and Elo.
- Casual Battles: You can fight against other players in more relaxed battles without worrying about rankings.
- Private Battles: You can fight against friends or family who are in the same in-game room as you.
A deep dive into Pokémon Legends Z-A
Wrapping up Pokémon Presents is a deeper dive into Pokémon Legends Z-A, including its combat mechanics, main characters, and its main location, Lumiose City. Pokémon Legends Z-A will officially launch on October 16.
As you arrive in Lumiose City, you'll be asked by either Urbain or Taunie to join Team MZ and help keep the city safe. Along the way, you'll meet other important cast members such as Naveen, Lida, and Mable, the Pokémon Research Lab's director.
After venturing out into the world, you'll encounter regular Pokémon alongside stronger Alpha and Mega-evolved variants. Some of the Mega evolutions we'll encounter include Mega Charizard X and Y, Kangaskhan, Dragonite, and more.
