Pokken Tournament

It has been uncovered that The Pokémon Company has recently filed for two trademarks in the United States. These trademarks are for the titles Pokkén Fighters and Pokkén Tournament. It is currently unknown to what these trademarks pertain, but they could be anything from a line of merchandise to a new game, possibly the one shown at the Pokémon Game Show.

It's speculated that the trademark is born out of a team-up between Namco Bandai's Tekken franchise and Pokemon.

If this is true, we notice that Lucario and Blaziken both have Megaevolutions

the Pokemon that is "known" right now to have mega evolutions are Charizard, Blastoise, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Jynx, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, Ampharos, Scizor, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Heracross, Gardevoir, Absol, Medicham, Banette, Latias, Latios, Aggron, Abomasnow

take a couple of Pokemon away from that list, and that actually would make a pretty good roster for a Pokemon fighting game

what are your thoughts?

Omg, this would be awesome. The graphic on that image looks top notch. I would buy this for sure, they just better put Quagsire in it!

I think it's more likely it has to do with them both being fighting type Pokemon and little to do with mega evolutions. A Pokemon fighting game starring fighting type Pokemon makes more sense, right?

I'd have to say I'd be down for a decent fighting game based on Pokemon. However I think another Stadium type game is more likely. We haven't seen a new one sense the Wii came out and with all the new Pokemon I could see Nintendo rolling one out.

If this is a Pokémon fighter, I hope it's half as entertaining as Type Wild.

Rumored, not confirmed.

It sounds cool. Hopefuly, if it's a fighting game, it's nothing like Battle Revolution or any of those games.

hints the quotes around "known"

eh, some other pokemon can easily be made for a pokemon fighting game: Mewtwo, Charizard, Nidoking for example

There's been plenty of speculation about the next Pokemon console game, but nothing has led me to believe it will be more than the next Stadium. Maybe Pokken is a fighter-like mode?

All I want out a Pokemon Wii U game is the ability to use the 3DS with X and Y games to battle on the big screen.

NIntendo has mentioned that the image above is just for the concept idea of what a pokemon idea could look like on the Wii U

They said the same thing about the Zelda Wii U tech demo, but wasn't that recently confirmed to be an actual game in development? That may very well be the same case here, if so.

So just question

if we do go for the theory of "Pokemon with Mega-Evolutions" has a chance to be in the game

if the small list we have so far of Confirmed Mega-Pokemon



You think they could make an interesting fighter

save for Pokemon like Venasaur and Absol

So, this game exists! It's called Pokken Tournament and hits Japanese arcades next year. Trailer showed Lucario vs Machamp.

Edit for English trailer.

Hopefully the Wii-U version doesn't take too long to come out after. The Wii-U desperately needs more games.

I wonder if only fighting pokemon will appear in this because then I can't see the likes of Pikachu or Charizard being included in the roster. Might be the first pokemon game with no Pikachu, I'm pretty sure Pikachu has never been excluded from any game before.

It was mentioned in an interview that all pokemon have a chance

I figure it will probably be Pokemon with Mega forms first

Didn't think this game would be real. Since there was an English trailer I guess a port for Wii U is likely, I mean all the Arcade Mario Kart games never made it even though they were basically made with the Gamecube architecture and I think there were also recent DK arcade games from the GC era that never made it, same with F-Zero. I'm sure Pikachu will have a role one way or another.

It definitely looks cool, but I've never played Tekken nor have I ever had any interest, not huge on fighting games outside of some fun with Street Fighter or other "mainstream" fighters from time to time so I probably won't play it.

This is an interesting observation. Though, Pikachu and Charizard still have Smash. [But let's consider Libre Pikachu for a moment.]

Even if this is fighting-types only, I'm still interested in the potential. We've got Infernape, Mega Mewtwo X, the Hitmons, Breloom, Toxicroak, Heracross, Gallade, Chesnaught, Medicham, Pangoro, Mienshao, the Swords of Justice... a lot of options.

I'm pretty excited.

I can't imagine Pikachu won't be in it in some way.

[QUOTE=Bartz;253219]A bit more information on the game: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/a...ifferent-game/

I imagine humanoid pokemon will be far more likely than the ones that look like animals, such as Rapidash or ones with no arms/feet like Dugtrio, etc.

I can see Pokemon like Scizor, Alakazam, etc. being used despite not being fighting pokemon.

People are speculating that the upcoming TCG Furious Fist release may have some answers to whom might make it to Pokken.
mainly since 3 of the confirmed characters for Pokken are in the trailer

posting this in the actual thread now, after I made myself look silly

We will be getting some new Pokken news this friday.




also Cyber, it has been confirmed that the Pokemon will not just be limited to bi-pedal pokemon

I actually had never seen those render images before. Thanks for those. I love HQ transparent .png fighting game renders.

I wonder what we'll get tomorrow....

3rd person fighter

new confirmation
Suicune
Gardevoir
Pikachu


assit characters
Emolga
Snivy
Lapras
Fennekin

I knew they wouldn't leave out Pikachu. That'd be catastrophically stupid.

the Pokken Tournament Stream

Still waiting on that Mewtwo reveal. I hope he's the final boss.

Playable Mewtwo: Regular Mewtwo
Unplayable final boss: Armored Mewtwo from the anime

Greninja and Charizard will likely be playable. I can see all the Smash Pokemon characters being in this game except maybe Jigglypuff.

Other obvious choices like Blaziken, Sceptile, Infernape are probably shoe-in's. Hope we get Blastoise too.

I would be alright with this, honestly.

Frogadier/Eevee supports are confirmed.

You missed the important part

Charizard and Weavile confirmed, july 16 is when the arcades will hit japan

as per the usual bandai namco, expect a small roster for the first arcades, than when a home port is announced more characters will be added...than a new version of the arcade will come out with those character and probably a couple more...etc etc etc

Worldwide release Spring 2016

Wii U confirmed

So much hype. Its like a dream come true.
