New Pokken character being revealed on the 15th January

The hint is that it contains the "ラ" character, which is "ra/la"

Edit: The previous image was inaccurate as it was missing a few Pokemon. The full list should be in the link below.

This Japanese site made a definitive list of all the names with ラ in them with images (scroll down a bit).

Note that some of the Pokemon on the list are not eligible as they're already in the game as assists

There's no "Ra/La" in either Blastoise or Feraligatr's JP names, so my expectations are already lowered.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Last time the Japanese text around the character when it was Sceptile was green---this time it's blue.

SWAMPERT (LAGLARGE) CONFIRMED!

Yes, it should either be Chansey or Darkrai.

Only Slowbro would also be acceptable.
You mean Blissey. Chansey has an evolution, no reason to put it in the game instead of its evolution.

Fat Pikachu this time.

missing 3 big ones

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense for it to be one of the Hitmons - it's the closest we'll get to Marshall Law, Lei Wulong, and Eddy Gordo being playable!

Sadly Sawk and Throh's JP names don't have "ra" in them so they're out for now. :|

They need a water starter, so Swampert seems like a good bet, especially with OR/AS existing. He's not my least favorite Water starter, so that works for me. But, if we're looking at a water type because of the blue, what about Gyrados? Not sure how movement would work, but, uhh, I'm sure someone could figure it out. Looking at the possibilities, there are a lot of good Pokémon this could refer to, so I hope I'm not disappointed.

Being serious, my guesses would I guess be either Heracross or Raguraji (Swampert).

We don't have a Bug type on the roster yet, so I'd lean more towards the beetle.
Plus, again, I'm biased when it comes to my choice of Water types.
