The Google/Bing translation says Arcade version so I'm getting that clarified. (Edit: Arcade confirmed in second tweet above)

Last time we had Darkrai. Rumors apparently point to it being one of these two:

Spoiler

Empoleon or Scizor.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

well we can be sure of one thing, it's not going to be a fighting type

 

[Lunar15]

If it's Scizor I'll pick this up.

 

[Hero of Legend]

well we can be sure of one thing, it's not going to be a fighting type

Not necessarily. Lucario, Blaziken, Machamp and Shadow Mewtwo/Mega Mewtwo X are fighting and they never said there wouldn't be others.

 

[OmegaSmash]

They're saving Darkrai and this new one for Pokken NX, right?

 

[casiopao]

Eevee pleaseeee.^_^

 

[Aaronrules380]

Eevee pleaseeee.^_^

Eevee is already a support pokemon

 

[Hero of Legend]

They're saving Darkrai and this new one for Pokken NX, right?

Port or sequel, it's happening I bet. They won't cut anyone in a sequel I'm certain.

 

[Gxgear]

Mimikyu please.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Vanillite finally gets its time to shine.

 

[OrionsNebula]

I must be dumb. I thought pokebomb was the name of the new pokemon and I was so confused.

 

[Lights and Waves]

I haven't touched this game in months...it just looks so ugly on a big TV. Really wish it was in 1080p.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I must be dumb. I thought pokebomb was the name of the new pokemon and I was so confused.

I used it as it was a thing where major Pokemon news would use it here. And this to me is a bit more special as it's pretty out of nowhere and not just yet another Sun & Moon update.

I can ask a mod to get rid of it if anyone doesn't like it.

 

[Menitta]

Awesome! I'd be really shocked if they weren't added to the console version. Has Darkrai been added? I don't recall that happening.

Unless a port to NX happens.

 

[Neoxon]

• What I'm Hoping For: Greninja
• What I Expect: Scizor or Empoleon

 

[cacildo]

So no NX news today, no NX news october 13. Got it.

 

[J@hranimo]

Man either Scizor or Empoleon will be super cool. October looking like a great month already!

So no NX news today, no NX news october 13. Got it.

Well to be fair Bandai Namco has been doing most of their own announcements for this game. I don't think this interferes with Nintendo's timetable.

 

[Hero of Legend]

So ironic too; I JUST started Pokken Wii U today! XD

 

[Neoxon]

They're saving Darkrai and this new one for Pokken NX, right?

The files for Darkrai, Empoleon, & Scizor were found in an update for the Wii U version.

 

[Sterok]

Betting on Empoleon since gen 4 has been getting a slight wave of attention recently. Now if only the new stuff would come to the Wii U version faster.

 

[Ezalc]

Probably won't be Feraligatr or secret awesomest pokemon Dunsparce, which is a damn fucking shame, but it's to be expected. Empoleon or Scizor are cool though. They need to let people recreate that Scizor vs Heracross match from the anime.

 

[DarkLegion]

My money is on Darkrai for Halloween

 

[Neoxon]

My money is on Darkrai for Halloween

Darkrai was already revealed.

 

[Hero of Legend]

The files for Darkrai, Empoleon, & Scizor were found in an update for the Wii U version.

Ah so they were in a Wii U update code. I think they'll release all three in the Arcade version and then just put them all on Wii U in a single pack/update or something.

 

[Aaronrules380]

My money is on Darkrai for Halloween

Darkrai is already in though

 

[Sealtest]

Move over boys... It's Sandslash's time to shine.

Wow I totally missed that

 

[friskykillface]

Ludicolo hype

his hat has multiple attacks x he can dance to boost his attacks

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I really hope either the Wii U versions gets the extra characters or there's an updated version coming soonish.

 

[BY2K]

Ash Greninja

 

[Sesha]

Aw yeah, Cofagrigus hype.

 

[casiopao]

Eevee is already a support pokemon

But i still one playable Eevee.T_T I mean, an Eevee which can change into any form every battle like in Poke Adventures manga is cool.^_^

 

[PadWarrior]

This is great and all but when will the home console get darkrai and this other new Pokemon?

 

[DMONKUMA]

Deoxys

 

[iBlue]

And still darkrai hasn't been released yet

 

[TWILT]

SCIZOR BOYZ

 

[MuchoMalo]

I guess that rules out an NX announcement on the 13th!

On a serious note, I bet that it's a Gen 7 'mon

 

[RareFantasy64]

Let's go, Greninja!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Painguy]

well we can be sure of one thing, it's not going to be a fighting type

Or NX lol.

 

[Toxi]

Ash Greninja

Nobody would play him with a 0-10 matchup against Charizard.

 

[Neoxon]

I guess that rules out an NX announcement on the 13th!

On a serious note, I bet that it's a Gen 7 'mon

While a Gen 7 Pokémon is entirely possible, we still have 2 leaked Pokémon to get through (if they weren't Assists).

 

[El Sabroso]

Scizor is a must! come on TPC bring it on!

 

[papertoonz]

excited to see Scizor, Empoleon or whatever other mons they pick

it sucks though that we more than likely have to wait till they do another version of the game for the NX or something to play these news characters

 

[udivision]

I guess that rules out an NX announcement on the 13th!

It never ends.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

One day Poliwrath will get the recognition he deserves...

 

[Platy]

So .. was Darkrai ever announced for the console version ?

 

[Boss Doggie]

EMPEROR DEDEDE HYPE

 

[Galactic Specter]

Empoleon and Scizor both sound like great additions.

With two Pikachus already in the game, Meowth gotta join the roster somewhere down the line.

 

[C.Olimar788]

It's so frustrating that they keep announcing these for the arcade without doing the simple port job for Wii U owners. I would make the plunge for Pokken Tournament if I knew it was going to be supported with new fighters.

Presumably they'll do an Ultimate Edition on the NX, but this is officially annoying.
