Welcome to the ultimate throwdown, the legendary beatdown, the mega supreme showdown between the baddest, meanest, and cutest fighters of all time. Pokken Tournament!!!! If you don't get enough Pokemon on Pokemon fighting action from Smash Bros. this is the game for you!!


View on YouTube

Here's what we know so far:

  • Pokken is being developed by Bandai-Namco, developers of long-time fighting series Tekken.
  • The game is a 3-D fighter, with a Tekken based fighting style. However, the controls will be simple enough that a casual Pokemon fan would be able to enjoy the game.
  • Players will choose one Pokemon to fight with. Assist Pokemon will be able to join the battle during certain moments.
  • No characters from Tekken will appear.
  • It's scheduled for a Japanese arcade release in 2015.
  • No official word of a console release has been announced yet. However, as the controller looks like this, it's probably only a matter of time before it's announced for the Wii U.

This video offers a quick glimpse of fighting and starts with character selection, support character selection, and through the end of the battle. The players have clearly never picked up the game before, and it's based off of the earlier release of the game, but it still offers a good idea of how the action will work in the battle:

Gengar joins the battle!!!! Complete with commentary from a woman in a kimono, an announcer wearing Pikachu hoodie pajamas, and a scary looking dude dressed as Mickey Mouse..... I swear I'll never understand Japanese culture.

And while it doesn't have anything to do with Pokken, "Black Man Loves Pokemon" is probably my favorite thing ever uploaded to Youtube, so I think it needs to be posted again. (NSFW language... and not PC in any possible way)

Not yet, but there's only 7 fighters announced so far. It's safe to say there will probably be another 8 to 12 on the final roster.

Bitch, I do not need your approval. I made this for me. I am well aware that you are going to avoid this game in order to spare yourself the embarrassment of my mad Pokeskills.

This might be the first Pokemon game that I buy. I play mostly play Pikachu in Smash now, so there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that I will destroy you all with my yellow, electrified mouse! Grinning

Please... they just announced Gengar.  You got nothing on me. NOTHING!!! And if they bring in Alakazam it's all over. Over for all of you!!

Of course I've never been at all good at Tekken so I'll probably be whipped like w rented mule when this comes out, but I'm happy to trash talk in the meantime.
