New Pokkén Tournament gameplay trailer
- Thread starter HIR0
- Start date
You can honestly tell that based on a low-quality 240p stream?
So the game is a weird mix of arena fighter and 2D fighter huh? Can't believe how well they made the two modes transition into each other. when I was hearing the details at work I thought it would look jank, I'm happy that's not the case though. As a fan of both genres I can't wait to get my hands on this game!
Now gimme Chesnaught please.

I don't really get the demand or preference for only fighting type pokemon in a more traditional setup. That honestly sounds pretty boring (It's almost reminding me of the Fox only no items Final destination meme). Even though Smash is quite different to a traditional fighter its more quirky entrants such as Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, R.O.B., Game & Watch and even Jigglypuff are not only great additions but also help give the game its own unique flair.
Plus imo this looks a lot more like an anime battle come to life for Pokemon than a reskinned Tekken ever could and as a result is far more interesting visually because of it. I'm definitely looking forward to what tournament players can do in it.
Also Infernape or Scizor better be in this, don't let me down Harada.

I thought the low-quality 240p stream looked better than the art in all honestly. I'll get over it, but those flat fur textures ewww
Great idea!
I was kind of expecting DKC:TF like fur effects since Pokemon seems like a safer bet sales wise and it also will be releasing in arcades.
Wow, this game is looking much more interesting than I was expecting it to be. Definitely looks fun, I hope it will come to WiiU eventually.
When I think about the main pkmn series going more action based, I always envisioned the gameplay going more towards a Ni no Kuni or Naruto style of gameplay. Pleasantly surprised that this team seemed to have a similar idea for making this spin-off as I was expecting a more generic fighting game from them.

Machamp is a slow grappler type. Hitmonchan can be a boxer style mixup type character who is incredibly fast and is danger up close both offensively and defensively, but has really short reach and has a hard time getting in up close.
If anyone's interested in listening to GameXplain talk about the new footage.
Still in the middle of watching it.

That probably made it look better. Not digging the gameplay so far looks really janky sometimes

Still no official vids huh
Pikachu actually isn't "overpowered". He's "dice roll" tier. With that said how BW handled it is shit.
watch the subs, much better than the rest of the series
or are you going to complain about how "gym fights are the same" by ignoring everything that happened in it and turning each detail into a generalized view?

I get that Tekken is part of the name because Tekken is Harada's life work. Also that the "ken" part means fist. But that's all this seems to have in common with Tekken.
Well for marketing reasons, yes it makes some sense.

Not sure what you're referring to. Unless you're referring to his gym battles with the ice skating Surskit that he had a type advantage over, or the weird rock tomb climbing against Tyrunt, which even in context are some of the worst cases of writing in the franchise and are no better than any of the other bullshit that's happened previously,and should be indefensible for even the staunchest fanboy.

Yes Nintendo of Europe/America ever mentioned this game? I hope it comes out here.
There's only one proper Poison-type they can choose, and it isn't Toxicroak.
Nah man, I NEED Arbok in this game. It could finally do some work!

Did people pick up what the messages that pop up in the battle mean?
You argue by using game logic on the anime that already ran around it.
Also you pretty much dissed what is considered to be one of the best fights in the series.
Really, if you're standing on "it doesn't work like that in the games!!!", then you should really stop and think.

I wonder how many will figure out what this is a reference to
I was hoping someone else would catch this.

PMed cause this isn't the place to argue about this.
Thankfully this game isn't taking anything from the anime. Hope more fighting types show up, need the Hitmon line in there.

Also I just realized Pikachu's Volt Tackle is RAIKIRIIIIIIII!
Uhh about that... Lucario's Bone Rush attacks are based on the anime. Granted you could infer that's how it'd look like in the game too, but the generic animation makes it look like he's ripping his bone from his body and throwing it away.

Strangely not. It's a bit weird they'd produce that trailer and not publish it.
