So I guess the two different modes are sorta a representation of the physical/special split? Cool way to go about it.

I actually hate the design of the playable characters, it's my least favorite thing about the game so far. It's like a weird hyper realistic thing that doesn't look good on the characters. Like everyone looks more like Brawl Lucario than Smash 4 Lucario if that makes sense.
Yeah.

I think it's more the flat fur textures that are the problem, it just looks incredibly strange. Something more like Tropical Freeze's fur shader would look much better.

This pretty awesome, here's to hoping for a wii u port this year 
What? Don't you build cities in volcanoes? It's not like the heat from the lava is at such a high temperature that you could die from it alone, right? It's "fun lava!" It's only dangerous if you fall inside!
OT: Really interested in the game.
They're all coming directly from a stream rather than an officially released trailer

So Heracross pretty much confirmed not to be playable? I've seen people saying that it's in the background in one stage.
Still no Blaziken yet, even though it's a given seeing as it was in that teaser. Charizard and Mewtwo are pretty much a lock as well. Hopefully the roster is evenly spread for all generations.

I don't think it confirms any thing, even if they did.
It would be a shame if he's not playable though.

I mean sure they could downgrade some version of this onto the 3DS, but it would probably be a better idea to wait for the new handheld rather then butcher this. This probably won't be out on Wii U for a while anyway
Well, yeah, but the difference there is that Koei's characters aren't in direct contention with PKMN as a brand, so that's why I'd imagine it's a different thing.
But in any case, it looks like there probably won't be any guests, at all. And with 700+ PKMN to choose from (which I'm sure has their own following), I can't imagine that any of them would be pleased if Agumon got in over any of them.

Gameplay looks really lame based on what we know now. Block, Throw, Attack? Such a simple system with lack of options leads to unbalanced gameplay. I'm not convinced of anything though until I know more.

Read up Gundam Vs. games.

Block
Throw
Light attack
Strong attack
Special attack
Assist
Jump
Seems fine to me. That's more than Smash Bros!
I don't either, because if you watched any footage of the game that has been released already, you would know that it never was.

I know about that series, this is nothing like that. If it wasn't for the ratio sytem thing in that game would be silly unbalanced. Also there is no throwing & GUARDING in Gundam vs games. Pokken & Gundam are not comparable.
Yes please!

Give me a fucking break. Now that quadrupeds have been confirmed, expect the entire roster to be a bunch of Eeveelutions.

That isn't a raichu with a beard
Gon was one of my mains back in the day. What I meant is that if he doesn't even want his own characters into the game I doubt we'll see any other franchises involved.

Maybe one. I could see a lot of them as assists for sure though. I also doubt we'll see Entei and Raikou.
Speaking of which, we have no type overlaps yet except for fighting right? I wonder who the big flying Pokemon will be. Ooh Hawlucha I guess?

Which is exactly what I don't want. Smash games are always very unbalanced.

This is the Pokemon game I want, considering I'm over the RPGs. Hoping this comes to US Wii U, JP only wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for region lock. We got Hyrule Warriors though, so if this makes it to the Wii U it will definitely come Stateside.

Well yeah it doesn't have the HP Ratio and isn't weapons oriented, but the speed and tension gives the GVS vibe than the slow pace Naruto has.

Interesting to see Suicune in the game out of all Pokemon. But why are they using made up locations instead of places from the six regions that exist in mainline Pokemon so far?

Well then that's just one normal attack away from BlazBlue
That's more the fault of not giving much of a shit about balance rather than how much stuff a player can do.

Machamp and Gardevoir look alright, Pikachu and Lucario are meh to weird, Suicune just looks wrong.

interesting mix of gameplay! harada experimenting~~
Also yay for Gardevoir! (cant ask for Gallade noe though....)

As a casual Tekken and Pokemon player (as in, I have played a few entries but by no means have much loyalty to either series)... this looks pretty awesome.
The fact that the footage so far is grainy reminds me of watching shitty compressed trailers from E3s like 15 years ago. Almost makes this feel not real, since there are some games that were only EVER that to me (Mother 3 on N64, Zelda tech demo at Space World).

People will complain no matter who gets in, and aside from Digimon being at its lowest point in terms of brand popularity right (partly due to Bamco's lack of effort fairly recently, though it seems to be changing a bit with the Digimon Adventure Tri anime coming up), again, I think the novelty and publicity would make up for the competing brand thing, there are plenty of examples of competing brands have crossing for mutual benefit, such as Phoenix Wright Vs. Professor Layton and the JLA/Avengers comic crossover some years back (Hawkeye actually got an honorary spot in the Justice League, well, before the New 52 happened on the DC side of things). No guest characters is hardly uncertain, you never know.
I'm more willing to bet he said 'no Tekken characters' because he decided they just wouldn't fit in. Quite frankly, as far as Bamco's characters go, Agumon is probably the best fit for a guest appearance in a Pokemon game.
Well, there's likely two things we could think of in that respect:
1) Takes place in a different part of the world (like the "Ranse" region that Pokémon Conquest used as its setting)
or
2) Takes place in an entirely different type of PKMN world altogether.

How does that equate to an argument against what I said about worrying that the simple mechanics in Pokken might lead to inbalance? If anything you proved my point by bringing up Gundam since it needs ratios to be even slightly balanced.
Again, Im not convinced that will be the case, I want to see more of the game but I am worried.

Right because we are talking about the number of buttons & not the core gameplay. I don't mean to be rude but I don't think you understand what I am trying to get at.
