NL: Fantastic, I'm sure fans will be pleased to hear that they can access their friend's Pokémon Bank account easily for trading. One final question: weve spotted a certain video on the internet from an event in Japan showing a short clip of Lucario fighting Blaziken on a street scene, which looks suspiciously like Wii U graphics... Was this a teaser for a true Pokémon title for the Wii U?

Junichi Masuda: [smiles] Ooh, I wonder what it was... I'm not sure... [laughs]

NL: Oh go on! Don't dash our dreams!

Junichi Masuda: That was actually a video which was shown at the Pokémon Games Show, an event in Tokyo last month and it was showing the history of Pokémon games as well as the future. It was kind of a concept about what the future of Pokemon may look like...

Safe to say this is something proper and not a mere concept video.

Small recap: The Pokken Fighters name comes from a recent group of trademarks, another of which was Pokken Tournament. Also it's said the producer of Soul Calibur made a tweet about that event but quickly deleted it, leading people to believe it could be a Namco-developed game.

Masuda please!

Skelter · Sep 25, 2013

The tidbit about the Pokebank sounds great at least.

foxuzamaki · Sep 25, 2013

acknowledgement, we're getting closer.

Toxi · Sep 25, 2013

That response he gave wasn't very reassuring.

sixteen-bit · Sep 25, 2013

Future of Pokemon, huh?

Seraphis Cain · Sep 25, 2013

Didn't Harada say in a tweet that the producer of Soul Calibur was working on four projects, yet we only know of two of them (SC2HD and SC:LS)?

Hmm...

PotionBleue · Sep 25, 2013

Because the Pokémon Bank is linked to each Nintendo 3DS console, it is possible to download your Pokémon stored in your Pokémon Bank and move it to your friends Pokémon X and Pokémon Y by inserting your friends Pokémon X and PokémonY cartridge into your Nintendo 3DS.

Shit news. What a cumbersome procedure. Why do they have to make everything tied to the console at Nintendo? Seriously?

TreIII · Sep 25, 2013

Well, as much as I would love otherwise, they're not going to tell us anything more about Pokkén until X/Y releases.

And if it's anything like a number of us theorized? I can't wait. Especially if it's one of the 4 projects that Project Soul and Hoshino are involved in...

Not to mention that Hoshino made a tweet relating to Pokemon Game Show, which later got quickly removed...

Pokken: The King of Steel Fists

Hero of Legend · Sep 25, 2013

To me this has Fall Conference Megaton(TM) all over it, this ties in with Iwata's previous promise of more collaborations.

And at this rate it might be coming in early October.

What's cumbersome about it? You can still trade directly to others in the games. The bank app is meant as a personal service for your games, but if you want you can upload and download Pokemon from your friend's games too. What's the issue here?

Umm... not to say they won't make this spin-off, but that's exactly what he said it was.

Is one of them Soul Calibur 5 arcade edition?

timshundo · Sep 25, 2013

I'm sure that's as much as the future of pokemon is as the zelda wii u concept video is the future of zelda which, you know, i aint complainin.

Well, I mean he is smiling and all...

Probably just poor wording on my part...

He's laughing and smiling though, so it has to be something more than a mere concept. It's clearly teasing us!

TrickRoom · Sep 25, 2013

It's about the teaser, but not necessarily about pokken. As tempting as it is to put the the trailer and the trademark together, we don't even know that yet.

MrT-Tar · Sep 25, 2013

Pokken is such a crazy idea that is has to be true... right?

Qurupeke · Sep 25, 2013

I hope they're really make a main series game with graphics like this some time...

The cumbersome part being that you still have to meet up in person to trade Pokemon that are stored on a server. Sure you can still connect over WiFi to trade one Pokemon at a time but I shouldn't have to explain why that is tedious. Linking a bank account to a specific 3DS also makes me worry about what might happen if that 3DS is lost or broken. I also have to wonder why Pokemon are even being stored on a server at all and not just locally.

AcademicSaucer · Sep 26, 2013

If they are really going to develop that game, i wouldnt expect it to be earlier than 2016

ash_ag · Sep 30, 2013

So, does NeoGAF believe?
If only we believe together.
