http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokken/http://nintendoeverything.com/pokken-tournament-announced/QuoteThe long-rumored Pokemon game “Pokken Tournament” has finally been made official. Famitsu properly unveiled the title during a live stream event held just a short while ago. Bandai Namco is behind Pokken Fighters, which shouldn’t be too surprising given the nature of the game. Well-known Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada is involved with the project.Pokken Tournament will be coming to arcades in 2015. Know InfoKirishima said, August 26, 2014, 09:38:25 pmFrom Harada's twitter, the game's going to be unique, won't borrow any mechanics from Tekken, and no Tekken guests will appear. Won't be a traditional 3d fighter but rather, think Gundam, Anarchy Reigns, UNS, etc. type of game.1Ultima said, August 27, 2014, 08:36:04 pmIt's not limited to Fighting types
judging from the trailer, it's likely gonna be strictly fighter typeslooking forward to hitmonchan fox, hwoaronlee, hitmontop gordo, and tyrogue irvin
Thanks for the reminder, Uche.Snorlax should be the equivalent of Nancy-mi847j in this game. So hype.
Calling it now. Mega Mewtwo X as the final boss.Quotelooking forward to hitmonchan fox, hwoaronlee, hitmontop gordo, and tyrogue irvinAlso Ganryama, Mega Lilipunny, Scrafty the Miguel, and Pangoro from Fighting Vipers.
Ditto for next Mokujin/doppelganger character!Also, hoping to see Hawlucha and the Hitmon family.Fighting its my fave type in pokemon and i like fighting games, ive been dreaming about an official pokemon fighting game since i was 12 years old

The moment you'll hear one of them go DORYAAAA, you'll know.If you ever fight a Mega Blaziken named Harada_POKKEN, you'll know.
Wished I followed pokemon a bit more dilligently to be able to make sense of how awesome this sounds.Well there's machamp, gen-1 ftw.
He edited his post to sound more positive. lolKirishima said, August 26, 2014, 03:44:12 pmIs that "The Finalizer" I hear in the trailer?Hah, somebody noticed it, too! The beat sounds exactly like it, but it's different. It still sounds awesome, though.
This is a stretch, since this looks like it will be just a straight fighting game, but maybe they could have the pokemon in their stage one forms, and the more victories that pokemon has, it gains experience and enough will add a new fighter to the roster.So with Lucario we could start with Riolu then after a few victories it could evolve into Lucario. But in the select screen you basically use Lucario by selecting Riolu and press another button to select Lucario.And expanding onto that, a stage one pokemon can evolve depending on your playstyle.Example, Tyrouge can evolve into Hitmonchan if you play defensively, evolve into Hitmonlee if you play more aggressively, or evolve into Hitmontop if you play a combination of both.They probably are not going to do that, but if this game becomes a hit, they could add this to the sequel.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT This is... wow, like on my dreams come true SUPER HYPED!!Actually the Human forme egg group has plenty of pokemon too choose from that arent fighting types (though most of them are) and there are plenty of pokes with anthropoformic characteristics. OH BOY, this is gonna be fun!!If this ever comes to something like Wii U, getting a Wii U inmediately.
it might end up being like a year later lol since that was the case for TTT2 and Gundam Extreme VS going from arcade -> consoledoubly worse if it's on the same machines as T6 or TTT2 and therefore not PC-based (but it would be kinda funny cause those cabinets are basically a giant PS3)e: give me weird gimmicky stuff like cofagrigus, ledian or seperior
From Harada's twitter, the game's going to be unique, won't borrow any mechanics from Tekken, and no Tekken guests will appear. Won't be a traditional 3d fighter but rather, think Gundam, Anarchy Reigns, UNS, etc. type of game.
i am also hype for hwalucha grappler shitLuis Alejandro said, August 27, 2014, 04:08:48 amHahahahahaYo fuck tekken cross street fighter. Lucario doeee yasssssssssss do you speak non-stream monster
A Excellent looking fighting Game. A Pokemon fighter was always something that most of us wanted to see.I also want to see Hawlucha in thisone as he seems to be a interesting, heroistic looking character. I can imagine him to have a style like Tatsunoko's Gatchaman (Ken The Eagle). Also hope to see characters like Primeape and Scyther in this Game.
I wonder if they'll do a rival battle sort of thing. Like Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.Electivire and Magmortar rivalry pls.
Really an interesting fighting game, that i expected for years.I hope that in TGS, we see more news about Pokken.
Ok Male counterparts are covered up but who will be female fighter's counterpart.Kyurem as the boss of the game would be.... Since a legendary as boss would be awesome
Segatron said, August 27, 2014, 05:09:28 pmOk Male counterparts are covered up but who will be female fighter's counterpart.If they don't limit themselves to strictly fighting types, there's enough feminine-looking pokemon they could use. Gardevoir, Lopunny, maybe Gothitelle or Jynx if they want to go a little weird with it.
I don't get why people thought it would be only fighting types did people honestly expect a Pokemon game that didnt have either Charizard or Pikachu in it.
While we are still wishlisting, and with this recent reveal, I would like to see Floatzel get some love.
1Ultima said, August 27, 2014, 08:36:04 pmIt's not limited to Fighting types It never crossed my mind that it would be. What's the point of having a pokemon game of any kind without the most popular pokemon, regardless of genre and propriety?
I want fucking Magcargo in this. Get your juices flowing to make him work out as a fighter, Harada. It'd be swell.
I just heard about this today.I wish that they would this on a WiiU format someday, because it is too good to waste on an arcade-only release!But then again, maybe they are using this as a test bed for how will the concept last among their consumer base.
I want Mewtwo and Mew. They'd be crazy to leave out Mewtwo.I also want Paras as a joke character. PLEASE, NINTENDO.
I was thinking about Mew earlier today. He'd be an ogre like character. Ditto could be a mirror match character, a la DS. Can't think of a good mokujin, though (a pokemon that learns metronome?).

Not sure if this was posted and/or everyone already knows about it, but...In case anyone was worried about an international release.Also, seeing as the devs want fans to decide what Pokémon to put in the roster, it's quite obvious that everyone's going to pick... Coil (Magnemite)?
Everyone's going on about a Wii U version which would be cool but I do wonder if they'll port it to the 3DS as well.There has been fighting games on the 3DS (one of them was a Tekkan game) so it could work.
A 3DS version would most likely the best to have besides X/Y and the upcomming Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Games. Even Street Fighter has a 3DS version.
As long Pokemon like Feraligatr has a chance, I'm very excited for this since they did say not all Pokemon in the game will be fighting type.
so if the non-fighting type pokemon's acceptable, then i really want to see zoroark and greninja in this after deciding i want infernape in this
A joke character should be wobbuffet....just for team rocket puroses! imagine a fighting character consisting of nothing but counters! LOL. thats already in mugen too.... #elecbytewins
for a second i forgot about hawlucha and i feel terrible about ithawlucha will be top tier and i will wrestle the holy hell out of everybody ohmygodcomegetthiswork
Flowrellik said, August 29, 2014, 04:12:26 amCharizard as True Ogre Somehow I see this working better for Garbodor in more than one way.
It is really wheird to see some guys basing Pokemon with Tekken Characters in styles. This is just a Game made by The Creators of Tekken. It's not like they are using Tekken as a template for this and swapping models with new ones. I just hope this get's a great story mode with lot's ot cutscenes and more for The Game.
Finally, someone said it. Also, didn't Harada already confirm via Twitter that it won't be like Tekken? Or something on the lines of that?

Imagine a sea Stage or a seaside where you see fisherman's fishing with a OldRod, GoodRod and SuperRod. Seaking and many more fish based Pokemon could be jumping in and out the water while Lapras swims all around. That could be a Stage for Poliwrath, Greninja or any other Water Pokemon. I think stages should be discussed too as there are many places, areas in The Pokemon Series and Games we know and wich are important there.
GarchompMatt said, September 07, 2014, 11:05:30 amMareep Grassland needs to be a stage :}With this theme
Here's an idea for a possible character, one of the prototype Pokemon like Latiken: An evolved form of Kururuor ProtoGenger/ProtoNidorinoWould put an interesting twist to the roster with any one of those. However if we were sticking to actual pokemon, I go with Beedrill.
Sorry for reviving this topic without actual news but, there are some rumors about Characters going on at several Websites.Many are telling and talking about those Characters:Do you guys have any predictions about Characters? I am alright with any playable Pokemon but, it would be Excellent to have some Legendary Pokemon as bosses.
But the rumors I've been getting stated that the roster was gonna be Machamp, Lucario, Blaziken, Pikachu, Pichu, Raichu, Surfing Pikachu, Flying Pikachu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, and Dedenne.You're gonna see about as much speculation and "leaks" as you will with Smash Bros line ups.
What about the Dark Types Like Shiftry, Zoroark, Cacturne etc and Ghost like Sableye Ignoring the type advantages

Titiln said, November 30, 2014, 04:32:29 pmdo these rumors have any kind of base to them (like a source with a good track record) or are you going from posts by LucarioFucker400 on gamefaqsI just did read comments about those Pokemon lists at various places while I was reading some news about other Pokemon Games. It is pretty much said that those listed Pokemon's are rumored and requested by fans. I will look back for links once I get to that.
Harada says that Nintendo's giving his team a surprising amount of creative freedom for this game. So far the only thing they said no to is having human trainers be playable as well as pokemon.
That's good to hear and no human trainers makes sense, defeats the purpose of a pokemon fighting game if it's not pokemon fighting.
I was hoping for some playable Bruno or Alder, oh well. But that makes sense for a pokemon centered game so thats fine for me.
i hope they designed quadrupeds and flying pokemon as well as bipedal punchmonsif you ever played the Gundam SEED VS games on the ps2 they had four-legged mobile suits and it was really good
I'd love to see Toxicroak in the game, that'd be cool. But you know, it doesn't really matter much since I will never be able to play this game anyway. :/
