Add live commentary to Pokémon Champions on iPhone and Android. Play on your phone, or point its camera at your Switch or TV. Battle text is read on-device to trigger announcer clips.
Hey Product Hunt! I missed the announcer from Pokémon Stadium. A knockout or a Mega Evolution feels bigger when someone calls the moment.
So I built Poke Battle Announcer, a companion app that watches Pokémon Champions battles and plays announcer clips as the action happens.
There are two ways to use it:
- Play on your phone with Phone Game mode running.
- Point your phone's camera at your Switch, TV, or monitor.
Battle text is read on your device, and the commentary uses audio clips stored locally. Gameplay frames aren't uploaded, and the app doesn't need your microphone.
The project started as a Mac prototype and grew into iPhone and Android apps through real battle testing and player feedback. We used GPT-6 Astra to develop our latest update, version 1.2, and this challenge felt like a good time to share what we've been building.
Getting the timing right has been the most interesting part: a move, a missed attack, and a knockout can arrive as separate messages, and the announcer needs to keep track of what happened.
You can try 50 battle calls free. Pro unlocks unlimited calls, and the Classic Announcer Pack is an optional separate purchase.
Watch the demo with sound on. I'd love to hear which battle moment you want an announcer to nail and how it works with your setup.

Who hunted Poke Battle Announcer?
Poke Battle Announcer was hunted by Banjo Obayomi.

Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
