[BGBW]

It is time to take this fight above ground.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Final Boss : Mewtwo

lol

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Possibilities for characters is quite mind boggling for this.

If done right, could have an incredible line-up of characters (by quality not quantity).

 

[Gotdatmoney]

So we know Blaziken, Lucario and Machamp are in. I imagine Greninja will be in and Primape is probably a sure bet. Hitonmlee and Himonchamp too. As far as non fighting types I could see Sceptile getting in as well. I don't see the amount of playable characters going much beyond 12-15.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yo Markman, where's dat Pokken TE Arcade Stick at?

finally, an excuse for having a fightstick covered in pictures of Stunfisk

 

[Greenzxy]

Playable caterpie or riot!

 

[Piers]

OH SHIT SON DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THIS MEANS

This man knows his donuts.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Here I was playing FFTA2 and totally missed the announcement.

It really was Pokkén after all :lol

 

[Hatchtag]

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

I'd fucking love to see Donkey Kong in a traditional fighting game.
I could see it being Pac-Man, too, now that he has Smash to draw inspiration from.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Surely you'd want a character from this series as a guest character considering it is Bamco.

Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing haha

 

[Lady Siara]

Sycther/Scizor seems likely.

I would love to see Hawlucha, he'd be perfect for this game.

 

[SliceSabre]

Is it wrong to feel Raichu could make it in too because it learns many punching moves?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

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?

If it was that easy, Tekken 3 probably would've shown up on XBLA or PSN by now.

 

[Koppai]

This man knows his donuts.

Reminds me of that guy from Durarara!!

 

[georgetheplushie]

I like how this is probably coming before Tekken X Street Fighter.

 

[BGBW]

Playable caterpie or riot!

They should make a fighter that is made up of all the early bug Pokémon stacked on one another to form a humanoid form.

 

[Pikma]

 

[Lernaean]

I'm glad this is going to arcades first so it can get balanced by the community.

Exactly.

 

[ponpo]

Why are you so evil ponpo?

Divine punishment for fighting games taking up precious arcade space. Instead of this there could be a real game like

Spoiler

Kantai Collection filled UFO catcher

!!!!!!

Also I know nothing about Pokemon and am terrible at 3DFG so hmph!

 

[Mortemis]

Please insert Blaziken Amiibo in my veins, Nintendo.

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

Yes. Hitmontop spinning top amiibo too Please Nintendo.

It is time to take this fight above ground.

Lol

 

[IntelliHeath]

Kanghaskan would eat Gengar alive and all the other ghosts.

Really? I don't really have any experience to fight against Kanghaskan with Gengar or other ghost that I mained.

 

[The_Intruder]

It looks like the smash bros engine, and with the release of the arcade first, I guess they want to bring pokemon in the versus gaming competition.

 

[nailbombxx]

Don't read the comments on the youtube video.

 

[Mknzy]

I could see them doing Scyther as a character for this as well. Unfortunatly there are no arcades that I know of around here, so I will be hoping for the Wii U version to get to play. Either way I am at least interested, and hope it does well!

 

[Busaiku]

Mega Pokemon aren't gonna be separate characters, they'll just be installs.
Seriously, it's the perfect system for Megas.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

They should make a fighter that is made up of all the early bug Pokémon stacked on one another to form a humanoid form.

And Venonat will form the head!

 

[Hiltz]

If Pokken Tournament doesn't land on Wii U by 2015, then it seems like it would be coming out too late.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Anyone else notice how much Machamp looks like Dedede?

 

[Pikma]

If Pokken Tournament doesn't land on Wii U by 2015, then it seems like it would be coming out too late.

Who gives a fuck, leave that to Nintendo to figure out, let's enjoy this announcement and speculate in the meantime

 

[PBalfredo]

I know who I'm going to main

 

[Etzer]

While I'm disappointed that we'll probably be waiting a while for a Wii U version, I'm glad we're finally getting a Pokemon fighting game.

If non-fighting types are in, I want to see Spinda.

 

[Battousaii]

Bricks have been shat

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

The music playing in the trailer kinda reminds me of Tekken 5 "The Finalizer" theme

 

[Brofield]

Oh yeah, they're asking fans in twitter which Pokemon you want to be added in Pokken.

How does one submit character suggestions? Because I have a few for Harada-san

 

[Bulbasaur]

Eh Tekken controls.

I'll make do with Smash.

 

[Tempy]

Excited, although the environment show does look incredibly plain. And I know Pokemon don't talk, but would like to hear more grunts and sounds from them.

 

[Welfare]

ARCADE ONLY? Aw man. Still, this looks cool.

 

[puffyshirt]

I'm stoked! Hope they have at least 30-40 fighters in there. I wonder how they'll manage smaller ones like Pikachu.

 

[Isotope]

How does one submit character suggestions? Because I have a few for Harada-san

Probably just tweet the Pokemon name(s) (probably would get across more if it was the JP name IMO), then use #ポッ拳 in your tweet.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I really don't understand why people are shitting its arcade only......where have you been all this time......have you not seen what Tekken does with its arcade and then console ports?

I also think thats a bad name.

 

[BGBW]

Also Waluigi will be an assist in this game.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

ARCADE ONLY? Aw man. Still, this looks cool.

Fighting games usually come out in the arcade first in Japan. This will probably be on Wii U within the next couple years.

 

[OmegaSmash]

ARCADE ONLY? Aw man. Still, this looks cool.

Most fighting games in Japan start out as arcade exclusive, then they get ported over to consoles with extra features and characters.

 

[SerTapTap]

Possibilities for characters is quite mind boggling for this.

If done right, could have an incredible line-up of characters (by quality not quantity).

Quality not quantity is why I hope it's not fighting types only...there's only so many fighting type moves (or ways to be "fighting type" attacks), introducing other types, or at least making the most of secondary types, would add a lot of diversity of attacks/visuals.

 

[Vooduu]

Trailer was terrible.

Still exciting though. Imagine Blaziken in this bitch.

 

[Caffeine]

Iwata funding collaborations everywhere

it was his backup plan all along

i think it looks great it was trademarked for the wii u so it will be coming sooner or later.

 

[Finalow]

gross.

 

[Lernaean]

If i had to speculate, i'd say the main reason it's only announced for arcade for now is because they have to sell Smash first and then focus on another brawler on the system.
I expect it early 2015 for arcade and late 2015 for WiiU.

Oh shit, I cannot wait to play this in arcades.
