Maybe this will be next holiday's Pokemon game. I know they've been releasing them yearly recently but are they really going to do XY 2 or remakes of Red/Blue? I don't see them doing a new gen either.

Why would they remake Red and Blue when they still have to remake Diamond and Pearl and after Black and White.

Game after ORAS is either XY2 or Z. Hoopa is next year's movie legendary, with Volcanion saved the year after that likely, not to mention a XY update would show Zygarde's alternate formes.

First:- This will be the only pokemon game im remotely interested in.

Second:- It looks incredibly early. Those animations look choppy and frankly awful. Not what id expect from harada.

Third:- Tekken vs SF is dead isn't it?

Weird, but kinda awesome maybe? I like Tekken a lot.

I actually expected a Pokemon Stadium sequel when I read the title. Little disappointed now, but that's on me.

Hope Gon, even if not an orginal Tekken character, will be in. I like the manga and he works very well with the Pokemon visual style... They used him as a guest in the Tekken serie, so why not?

Got an e-mail from TPCi's PR featuring this.

I will be very, very, very, very, very surprised if it doesn't come
a) in the west
b) on the Wii U

Hmm, wonder if this is a hint that Machamp will be getting a Mega Evolution? Would be weird if only some of the roster was able to. I guess it could just be a super attack and he could be given a random one.

Can't wait to
walk by this machine and play SDVX3 instead

Man, Machamp is really ugly.

yeah, the visuals seem pretty rough at this stage, but that can easily be polished, and I won't really care if it's a decent fighting game.

we can be pretty confident the music is going to be amazing, though.

Please insert Blaziken Amiibo in my veins, Nintendo.

After seeing them in person at E3 I want to catch 'em all.

At this point, I'm assuming that they'll announce the console port in early 2015 (once Smash hype is done) and we'll see release later that year.

Also, if Hitmonlee punches anything, fuck this game.
I'm well aware he learns Bullet Punch and Mach Punch, I don't care. Boot to the head.
 
Huh, they're really doing it. Tecmo and SEGA missing out big time once again! I'm glad this is going to arcades first so it can get balanced by the community. Wondering how the Mega supers are going to function.
 
They don't want to announce another Wii U Nintendo fighter this close to Smash. Western release will be revealed early next year, late 2015 release

I don't think they would post a trailer in English or send out that email if they didnt intend on it. But I think its because they are taking the videos off youtube down
 
A guest character, in a Tekken game? No chance in hell.
I agree entirely, though I could see the guest character being some other Nintendo character that already has a history of beating up Pokemon i Smash or something. Having Heihachi beating on Pokemon would look...odd.

Donkey Kong's seems always ready for a fight no matter what series.

What about other countries?

Like I said in another post, this game was made with Japan's current popularity with arcades set as the priority audience. However, arcades seem to be prevalent enough in many countries that this type of game could be transported to various arcades around the world.

What countries don't have arcades? If they honestly don't have them, I'm sure they won't have to wait long for a Wii U version.
