Pokkén Tournament Reveals New Fighter: Darkrai!

The latest Pokémon to be added as a playable character in the arcade-style fighter Pokkén Tournament is none other than the Pitch-Black Legendary itself, Darkrai. This is confirmed for the Japanese arcade version of the game and we await more news about whether or not it will come as an update for the Wii U version, which I’m sure many of you will want to see.

We’ll update the post with a trailer as soon as we can find a high quality version!

  1. I’m not gonna lie I bought pokken and i thought with the small fighter selection was disappointing and ppl saying there weren’t gonna be any DLC but now seeing Darkrai I’m pretty pump again for it!!!!

  2. One of my favorite legendaries! I’m very happy about this. I should really revisit this game, since I abandoned it for no real reason.

    Now, I’m going to hijack this post for BIG NINTENDO NEWS! I can’t believe what I’m saying, but Nintendo is releasing an “NES Classic Console” on Nov. 11 for $60, which includes 30 classics. Additional controllers are sold for $10. They want us to discover “why we fell in love with Nintendo”. This is definitely connected to the NX somehow, so the ball is now rolling!

  3. I swear tomorrow better have some kind of info
    And since Saturday is going to be a bum day I’m going to finally finish breeding my Fire Mono and hunt down that Sap Sipper Miltank

    • You haven’t got it yet? Well I got one… but I put it in a dusk ball first, thinking I’ll get another in a week after that. Well guess what? Still no second herbivore… I swear these things are rarer than shinies.

      • Didn’t someone want something in a Dusk Ball or whatever
        I kinda gave up that project when I learnt that I can showdown on my iPad which re-reclaimed my life
        But if you’re spending hours In a beach parking lot doing nothing no better place to hunt fat cows

  4. I ‘m so sad about Pokken…..I got it at launch and played a decent amount, but the game controls are so weird that it lost me….It certainly isn’t your typical fighting game….I just wish I had more incentive to play the story mode. It just felt like a drag to go through the tournament s with almost no pay off. I do like Darkrai and if it comes to the Wii U version I’m sure I’ll power it back up and download at the very least.

    • Honestly I lost interest the very moment the meta totally became one sided
      The Shadow Mewtwo daily rapeings
      Chandelure death beams
      And Gengar spam

      And the constant spamming of grabs and throws

      Reply
      • It’s just got very weird controls and the balance is pretty off. I feel like the only way to really do anything is to spam moves and anything else is just ridiculously complicated to pull off. I think there’s a way to fix it, but I’m not quite sure how. Tekken is a solid game with sort of similar fighting space….kind of anyway so Idk where they went wrong.

        Reply
      • AFAIK the first three issues are all patched.

        Well except the grabs and throws, which are beaten by just plain attacking them while they attempt to throw.

    • Yeah, and I rather hope I don’t need a Yellow Pikachu in order to get my Mimikyuu D: I’d rather just see them in the wild.

      • Speaking of which
        (Kinda wanted to air this out)
        I truly hope they [Gamefreak] don’t oversell Spookloth
        I get it it wants to be a Pikachu, but what I hope they still remember that this a completely different Pokemon with absolutely zero ties to Pikachu in every single category except the obvious visual representation
        No Pikachu sounding name
        No electric attacks except by TM
        No Raichu themed evolution
        Absolutely nothing to do with the yellow rat
        This is a Ghost who uses a stuffed animal as a protective shield against the sun’s rays and hopes to be as beloved as the toy it represents

        My two cents

        Reply
        • I can agree with you there 🙂 I’d also like that since I want Mimikkyuu to be its own thing and not be related to Pikachu except by its cloth. If it did have an evo, I’d expect something like it tearing the cloth except for the PIkachu face maybe and have more parts of it exposed. But at the same time, it wants to be Pikachu for love, so I can see it trying to be like Pikachu as well, but failing since it is not (maybe finding a different Pikachu merchandise to achieve this or something)

          Reply
        • Honestly I agree with many of your points. It”l be better for the Pokemon in the long run if it’s only ties to Pikachu are that it wants to be popular like it. If it depends too much on Pikachu then it won’t do well on its own.

          Reply
      • But they never will
        Because of this extremely logical response
        (they’re hella gey) just kidding
        Mega Evolution is supposed to bring out the Pokemon’s truest capabilities and enhance their powers
        But something as erratic as Eevee clearly shows that no mega stone could ever peg down one true form
        Eevee’s volatile mutant DNA just cannot bear a Mega Evolution for any of its forms

        (And freaking honestly this thing has 8 muthafracking evos it don’t need Megas)

  5. The game is aiming to be different, which is okay, but they are over doing it now. I will not buy the game until a Hitmon or Hawlucha enters the scene. I am tired of all of these gimmick characters. I am more of a punch and kick dude, not fire bender voodoo magic crap. I would like the punching/kick dudes they have, but Machamp (from what I’ve seen) is too slow, and Blaziken has dumb fire throwing trash. I WANT HITMONCHAN! Darkrai ain’t terribly bad, but c’mon.

  6. Maybe darkrai could have been in smash in replaced lucario. Honestly a gen 5 pokemon should have replaced lucario since lucario is no longer relevant

  7. Ugh, I hate seeing stuff like this:
    http://youtu.be/attMyulxvhM
    The Pokemon games from gens 2-7 are completely ignored in favor of a bare bones mobile game :/
    I mean I like Pokemon Go and I have been playing it but it is hardly the Pinical of the Pokemon franchise…

    • Yeah I’m not sure I get the point of the video. By all means people can critique the series for all its flaws, but it barely even touches any of the games. Most of the ones it even actually looks at are side games not developed by GF. Which are irrelevant to say the least. What they are really saying by posting this kind of video is that they have no critiquing skills and are really only hating on the series( if that’s what we are even looking at here) for the sake of hating. I found no value in watching this video at all. Even negative videos have some merit, but this was useless. Whelp that’s my critique of what is apparently a critique? hahaha

      Reply
    • This is how I see it, the pokemon Franchise is like a restaurant, when this hypothetical restaurant first opened they had an amazing first round of menu items and it brought so many people in, now after a while less and less people came some even going on to say that the food just wasn’t as good anymore, now the food’s consistency remained the same quality its just the many droves of people that first arrived contained a lot of people that were only in it for the hype of it all. Now you (us, the fans) continued to come in everyday and order various things on the menu and enjoyed relatively all of it and continued to come back even when we got things we didn’t like, and now, the restaurant has advertised that its bringing in new features and additions to the opening menu and the droves of people came once again for the hype of it all and to remember what they thought they loved about it when it opened… now what is important to remember is that these people will repeat the cycle soon enough and leave, and yet we will still be here, the loyal and loving customers.

      The restaurant is pokemon, and the droves of people are coming back again for Pokemon Go, but they won’t last and certainly most of them will not care about a lot of the main series games, or any new gen pokemon the put into go if they ever do

    • See? This is why I want the Pokemon Go Craze to die down. I hate it when these idiots made videos like this making it seem like GO is the best game Pokemon has ever had. I mean, come on, it’s called a (rough) evolution of POKEMON GAMES. Geez. (I could go on and on about this, there’s so much rage in me)

  8. What pokemon do you guys want to ride in sun and moon? I’d love to ride a scolipede or an arcanine (I have a shiny one too in my box, so it would be cool to ride that one).

    • Mamoswine since my in-game persona uses my Mamoswine as a primary means of transportation (honestly most overweight trainers won’t make that far walking town to town
      but Mamoswine is big and tough enough to easily trudge through any terrain while ferrying its trainer

      Reply
          • Well they’re both pachyderms
            Also interesting note
            Almost all major pachyderm Pokemon are Ground types
            Rhyhorn, Donphan and Hippowdon all which I immensely love

        • That maybe so
          But Mamoswine has been hauling my fat ass since it was a little Swinub (flashback to me sitting on a Swinub clearly crushing it ordering it to “go faster”)
          But my vision is it has a huge quilted tarp with saddlebags (oh and a Expert Belt tied around his ankle)

          Mamoswine is all I need

  9. I hope the new ghost gets a split evolution. I think it would make for a great dynamic. My idea is one evolution through happiness where it sheds its cloak because it knows you truly love it. The other evolution is with a thunderstone and it replaces its cloak with a Raichu cloak because it thinks you only love it for its resemblance to Pikachu, and it only tries to make you happy because it thinks you want a Raichu.

    Reply
      • I mean, I don’t either if it’s the only one. I like this because there’s choice, really. If the Raichu route is the only way, I’ll be slightly upset cause I want Mimikkyuu to be separate from Pikachu and be its own thing. But I understand why it might go that way.
        It make sense to go that route since it wants to be as loved as Pikachu and if it’s the only love it gets, of course it wants to continue being Pikachu-like in order to have your affection, so it’ll evolve as a ‘Raichu’.

        Reply
    • I decided to have a go at the “Raichu” evolution. I tried to emphasize the fact that the thunderstone didn’t affect the Pokemon at all; it just made a new cloak, so it looks largely the same. However, I made it’s eyes give away its sadness from its trainer not loving it for what it is. And the tail is just its shadow claw extended, holding the stick, to make it appear longer.

  10. This is a stupid question, but is there any difference between a fire/ground type and a ground/fire type (just examples)? I never thought there was but I’ve heard some say there are.

    Reply
    • I don’t believe there is competitively. It just means that design-wise, a Fire/Ground type takes more inspiration from fire, while a Ground/Fire type has more ground elements in it.

      Reply
    • Yes
      To me it should ALWAYS have primary type be what the Pokemon should be about
      Secondary types is more of an add on that further helps the theme

      Like Camerupt’s theme is volcanoes and lava, and yes lava is molten rock but only got there from intense heat which explains why it is Fire/Ground, and Aggron is Steel/Rock because it itself is iron but with the impurities of common worthless stone which is why it drops its secondary type in mega

  11. Remember when we all discussed whether this was a leaf, an item, or just some random sparkle? Well Tuoko over on Serebii Forums pointed out that it may be a Zygarde cell. I don’t know if I quite believe it, but if it’s true, it just makes me all the more excited for the games!

    Reply
    • I could see that. When the player passes it the glow goes away and it seems to disappear entirely. I could see them glowing from a far and then becoming invisible when close and you can collect them as you go around the region. l

      Reply
    • Maybe. It still looks very much like a leaf to me. Es leaf-shaped and it flutters down like one in that clip.
      Time will tell, though, what it really is.

  12. Ok I’ve already got a complaint about Pokemon Sun and Moon! In the trailers you got all these kids enjoying the nice weather and being outside while playing the game. In reality the game comes out during a time of the year that is basically winter for many people……I wish it was coming out in the summer so I could enjoy it as a “vacation in the warm sun” kind of game rather than an “it’s cold outside and I gotta go out and shovel” kind of game lol

    Reply
  13. well guys looks like tomorrow is going to be the English trailer for Pokemon Sun and Moon,hopefully to reveal some good information and some English names of the two new Pokemon We just Saw.

    Reply
    • Well….there’s no guarantee we’ll get anything tomorrow. It could be a Rockruff and Komala situation.
      But considering we had a Japanese trailer show them off a day after CoroCoro leaked, I’m certain we’ll get something, but I could be wrong 🙂

      Reply
      • I’m surprised we haven’t gotten anything yet fro the international side of things at this point. Usually they release on the 14th as by that point it’s basically the 15th for Japan. I’d be surprised even further if we really don’t get anything on the new Pokemon. If there wasn’t a Japanese trailer then I’d say it could be like Rockruff and Komala, but why would they do one trailer and not the others?

        Reply
        • Yeah, CoroCoro has become not as guaranteed as it was back in the XY/ORAS days. We always knew that it would be localized when CoroCoro officially came out, but now it’s going off pattern. Something weird is going on…

          Reply
          • Yeah and the way they’ve been revealing stuff in general has been weird. With or without CoroCoro the news has been very oddly paced for the past few months. We got 15 new Pokemon reveal in the span of a month 15!!!!! that’s so many Pokemon to reveal in such a short amount of time. And if just IF the leaker from 4chan really is correct about those other two, which at this point I’m slowly losing faith, being revealed we could have a total of 17 new Pokemon in a month. That seems crazy to me. Not even during XY when we had the whole ting at E3 did we get this many in such a small amount of time.

          • I sure hope so because if we aren’t then they are showing us a crap ton of them already lol

          • Yeah, it’s crazy. I really doubt we’ll have less than 100 Pokemon by the rate they are revealing mons.

          • You’d think, but it’s not impossible that they didn’t learn their lesson from the last few releases hahaha

          • True, it’s always a possibility. I doubt it’s possible, but I can’t deny it can happen 🙂

          • This is true, but during ORAS’ release they unloaded almost all the megas before the games came out lol It doesn’t have to be an exact copy of what happened. I’m just saying that they could very well be very dumb as far as marketing goes hahaha

    I really fear that they’ll pool all their creativity into these super attacks then actually introduce genuinely new attacks

    Reply
      • I am thinking that guardian deities may get different abilities based on their myth.

        Tapu Koko got Electric Terrain and it is the land spirit Pokemon. Ku(what Koko is based on) is named as “the seizer of the land” and basically Tapu Koko seizes the land in its favour with Electric Terrain .

        Lono is the god of agriculture and it brings fertility to land by bringing rain clouds. So I guess an ability that brings Grassy Terrain could work or it can have ability that brings Rain.

        Kanaloa is associated with healing, so it can have ability that has something to do with healing.

        Reply
        • Lono should have Drizzle and Kanaloa a new ability that heals allies at different rates based on their HP. For example, if you have 75% of your hope, the amount Kanaloa heals is smaller compared to if you have 25% of your HP. I don’t all of them to have ______ Terrain.

  16. I love Pokemon Go and how it has brought gaming/casual gaming communities together, inspired people to go out more instead of penting themselves up in their homes, and overall is a great experience for ANYONE: true fan or not. I don’t however agree with attacking people who only got on the train due to hype; this world has become too attached to instant gratification and most of us are non-proactive. I believe what Pokemon Go has done is not onoy significant for the world of Nintendo, but for the mobile industry as well. Of course there will be repercussions involved with a children’s game basically asking children and teens to go out and explore! So what? The news can babble all they want, parents and the Westborough Church can vent and rail all they want but in the end, Nintendo just keeps printing money from this game. I don’t care if you pronounce Pokemon incorrectly or just got into playing Pokemon Go because it’s the next hit thing. What matters is the true fans will stay when all the hype has died down and most of them leech onto another product. Don’t waste your energy and time attacking or complaining about people that are minute to win-its! Additionally, as a last note, some of these players coukd maybe join the fan club as sales for the earlier games now available on the Nintendi E-Shop are skyrocketing and Pokemon merchendise are coming back in full force! Don’t worry about stupid trainers who kill themselves while trying to catch a Magikarp, just be happy you’re not a leecher in the Pokemon world.

    • Couldn’t have said it better myself 🙂
      While I understand the frustration of some people with all these new people coming in, it’s beneficial for all. Your next Pokemon friend could come around thanks to GO, so I’m open-minded to its possibilities.
      As for me, I’ll be in my corner with my BFF riding around hitting Pokestops (there’s like none near walking distance) and going slow enough in our neighborhood to hatch eggs because Florida heat be crazy.

  17. Pokemon GO is cool right now but I can’t wait until they add trading and non gen 1 Pokemon because as cool as it is to see Pokemon in the real world, I’d rather be seeing Pokemon I actually like. I’m as nostalgic for Pokemon Red as anyone but I just would love to see things like Pumpkaboo, Cofagrigus, goomy, Sewaddle, Aron, Absol and rotom in my neighborhood. What Pokemon are you guys hoping to see?

    Reply
    • Patience my friend. They should first work on making this game available worldwide and fixing server, data, and in-game mechanic issues. But yes, they did say that trading will be avaliable soon and will eventually add all of the known Pokemon in-game.

  18. This might be an unpopular opinion here but I’m going to say it anyway. I’m glad that Pokemon GO only has gen one for two reasons. Firstly, it brings in fans who quit after gen 1 (I know some people don’t like that but it REALLY helps for the games success in the long run. Secondly, I’m getting enough duplicates that I can level up and evolve my Pokemon with little trouble. Imagine 721 Pokemon day one. Evolution would be a nightmare.

          • I’m just so surprised all the time by people that don’t like the new Pokemon and new gens in total. If these Pokemon were in gen 1, and you just now discovered Pokemon, you would maybe find faults, but you would accept them as part of the franchise. We accept Jynx and muk despite weird designs. These new ones are designed by a lot of the same people and go through an extensive screening process. You don’t have to use them but definitely don’t put them down. They are all Pokemon after all. (Ultron, this was not a reply directly to you or even really to you at all) 🙂

          • This thing is sort of a special case for me though. Red Pandas are my favorite animal so I want the design to just be really awesome and adorable. I really like the concept behind it with the hugging/huge crushing power, but given how vibrantly scarlet Red Pandas are and stuff, there’s just a small part of me that hopes it evolves and is better. Don’t get me wrong, I do like it, but I just have high expectations for it. There aren’t a lot of pokemon designs that I truly dislike anyway 🙂 Only a select few

          • I agree! I’m not the biggest fan of this one either and there are a lot of gen 5 Pokemon I don’t like unfortunately. It’s totally cool imo for us to talk about our opinions of new designs. But like for people who don’t like any of the new ones, it’s like, just be happy new ones are being made!

          • Exactly! I’ll take new pokes over no pokes any day. Each gen has good ones, bad ones, and ones you learn to like.

          • Grrrrrrrrrrrr
            I am just so freaking fed up with waiting
            That Pokketchi better shed some light on that walking death trap

          • Speaking of which
            I was thinking that it would definitely learn Bind or Submission
            But I wanted it to learn a new attack based on a move of my own ability
            I in real life am an extremely powerful hugger, having one of the strongest and tightest bear hugs in high school, and I had the thought of being able to magically drain life force from the hugged target
            So Huggagrab would learn a new Fighting or most likely normal attack which hugs and sucks out hp

          • I like other things but there honestly hasn’t been any eye catching physical powerhouses
            Which is the cornerstone of my entire being

    • I think Fluffy will reduce damage of either crits, physical attacks, or super-effective moves. False Colors probably has something to do with setting up a type illusion or something.

  20. To bring back the discussion to darkrai….

    What was your first mythical Pokemon?
    (Glitches don’t count)

    Mine was the aforementioned darkrai or manaphy. I don’t remember which.

      • They’re really drawing Vigo out. I was expecting him to be wrapped up this season. I think that hooded “special guest” from the penultimate episode will come back into play.

        • The Defenders of the wing are definitely a good pivoting point
          You should’ve seen my face when Gobber got Grump I was speculating he would’ve gotten it this season or the next but I was so happy to see it

          • I like the little things they put in there from the movies. Nice to see how things happened. I’m interested to see where they take Heather though..

      • The show is actually pretty good. I really enjoy it. Most of the original voice cast is back too, which really helps it feel like it’s a part of the movies. Stoic’s voice actor is pretty bad though haha

        • Nice, I’ll give it a go for sure, Quite surprised at how many episodes it has, I figured it would just be 6-parter or something, but this particular movie spin-off is huge! Happy to have so much to watch. 🙂

    • If you consider nothing to be too far in this game. I recommend finding and beating possible players to submission before they have the chance to take your gym. I feel like my response was very Earthenlike.

      • Op nothing this is the exact same team I always used
        I just fought this same exact team and knew their every move
        Always the froslass to taunt stealth rock but into a clean knock off
        Then the rest was just pure Mamoswine power
        And as soon as I got sandstorm up with Excadrill he was basically finished
        Also note the Weavile going for Ice Shard on Nido instead of Icicle crash everyone assumes every Nidoking is scarfed or orbed and feared out speeding

  26. Does anyone notice that Pokken was made by the same people that created Digimon Speculating in off topic possible sign Digimon will be in the next Smash bros.?

    Reply
    • If they ever made another smash bros I am like 99% sure there will never be a digimon in it, I also am pretty sure that they are not going to make another smash as Sakurai said he didn’t think he would, he doesn’t want to sit takes up all his time and he doesn’t have any time to spend with his family

  27. I have a feeling cutiefly, Bruxish, and peekaboo will all be one stage Pokemon. They’re a little too complete in their design. Although I would have said that about nosepass too but oh well. They remind me of Pokemon like spinda, smeargle, alomomola, quilfish, etc. while I would love for any of these mentioned to get an evo, they’re very complete, focused designs so yeah… Just some speculation. I would love to be wrong.

    Reply
    • you can say that about a lot of the new pokemon revealed though, like Salandit is really polished but I still hope it gets an evo, I’m also really hoping that all the ones you mentioned get evos too :3 I can just see the amazing potential for them

      Reply
      • Yeah. Something about them is different than salandit or rockruff where I see more they could do design wise for a bigger evolution. Bruxish feels a little too over designed and cutiefly so closely resembles it’s inspiration, it could however pull a surskit and evolve. Peekaboo is very gimmicky too and those hardly ever evolve.

        Reply
        • idk I see cutiefly as more able to evolve then Salandit but I still think they will both evolve, however I can see Mimikkyu and Bruxish being a single stage easily, for me though cutiefly is more hard to wrap my head around being single stage

  28. That’s bullcrap!!!! My Pokemon go keeps logging me out and keeps freezing and my wife’s still works fine, we have the same phones the only difference is that I logged in using my Pokemon trainer club and she used her google account I wonder if true what some ppl told me that that’s what they want for you to use google account instead. ????

    Reply
      • Yeah I guess you’re right but it’s a pain to see my oldest son and my wife having fun and I’m over here struggling with mine. OH THE AGONY!!!

        Reply
        • I had the same problem. My friends did google accounts while I did trainer, and of course while we were out hunting for some, they decided to shut the trainer club servers down for maintenance. I was pretty pissed

          Reply
          • I know the feeling we’re trying to “be the very best like no one ever was” and become Pokemon Masters but I guess our real test isn’t to catch them it’s actuall to get the damn app to work
