    • I’m sure they’ll ad more fighters. It seems like they have plenty of base space to add a few more characters and then I’m sure there r unlockable characters they haven’t shown yet lol

    • So far all we seen are the painfully obvious fan favorites and half of them are speed oriented
      And very little Power centered combatants
      we need some heavyweights
      Rhyperior, Hariyama, Aggron, Snorlax, Oooo how about Golem i can see a lot of cool ideas with his rocky shell

      But one Pokemon who i can see as a very interesting is Simisage, kinda swinging around on vines and hurling seed bombs all with break-dancing jungle acrobatics

  1. Ughhhhh of all things they add is a clone
    Why can’t they had a massively heavyweight fighter all about full blown offense
    *Cough Rhyperior *cough*

  2. Whelp I guess since Pokken Tournament is still going on I guess the secret for the 3:30 time slot is just the Pokken Tournament tournament finals….That means it’s unlikely even if there is an announcement this weekend it’ll prolly b another day…….*sigh* lol

  3. Looks like they’re streaming Pokken Tournament now and it’s looking really good. But as Chico and Earthen said, they really do need more fighters. With the 720 Pokemon available right now, the fact that only 9 fighters are announced for this future Wii U title is really mediocre. I think they need at least 20-30 fighters to make this a game worth comparing to others like Super Street Fighter, Tekken itself or Super Smash Bros. Sure, I’d play it and many others would with 9 characters, but it’d probably get stale quick.

  4. Lol that moment when you see more “Why are people mad” comments than actual people being mad.
    but As I predicted no new main story game, but I do love Pokken can’t wait 🙂

    • I love Starbomb and the Game Grumps so much. They’re a lot like us, I think. Good people who LOVE video games. Also, this video was awesome.

    • I would have preferred Hawlucha but I think Pikachu Libre is also a good representative for luchador-style wrestling… But yeah I’m sick of the fan faves

  6. I have this idea that in the pokemon world, either the government, or even just parents, use Porygon to monitor Internet activity. Like, if your kid is on a Porygon site, it’s ok, but on the sites not watched by porygon, is where all the bad stuff goes down, like the deep web.

  7. I’m not good at fighting games, but I like playing them. So I’m excited about this.

    I can’t be worse at it than I am at Smash.
