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!

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Shiny Pokemon Stories!
I don’t play Pokken but cool!
Oh god, I read that as “Pokemon” and I was so confused for a moment. 😛
It’s okay Pokken Pokemon common misunderstanding.
That’s pretty amazing, I just bought the game as a gift for my bf, and I’ll finally be able to play it too
My only hopes
Rhyperior
Excadrill
Heracross
Golem
Hariyama
Snorlax
And nobody saw this but Braviary
awe thats so cute
Pokken i waaant! XD
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!!!!
Watch this thing completely destroy the meta
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!
They included Zelda II: The Adventure of Link so they have good taste!
Worst Zelda game (ignoring CD-i and those small bs titles that aren’t even remembered for the most part). As a game it is good enough for the times but it isn’t a good Zelda game. ><; Just like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is a decent enough game but it is not a good Castlevania game.
Oh, what this is way better news than Darkrai!! I’m totally picking this up. Alot of games I have never gotten to play so I’m really excited for this to come out!
Also maybe they will make a SNES mini one day because it is one of if not the best Nintendo console
What if it is the NX.
Now that would be one long con
It isn’t.
No this isn’t connected to the NX are you high? This is just something to steal fans’ money and have something for the holiday system console-ish-wise.
At first I was like, November 11th, that’s a holiday for us, so we get a delay again. But no, it acutually releases November 10th here! Thanks, Nintendo!
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
Well I did, but I got greedy and decided I wanted my own Dusk Ball HA Miltank first. But I know ya prefer Heal Ball.
(Sweet Scent, Run) x20, use Petal Blizzard, bulls and cows die, rinse and repeat until the cow doesn’t die…
I know the spheel
I just need one for my NU team
To be a big phat cleric
So you’ll take Dusk Ball version though??
You can Pokemon Showdown on an iPhone/iPad!? Okay, I will now do that on my couch for the next hour or so.
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
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.
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.
Also those campers who hide in defending
Sure you can get them via grab but you know the excessive guard spam just gets annoying
Almost all fighting games have that problem where defense is too good haha… no easy solution. :p
I haven’t picked it up and I’m not sure that I will unless I find it on sale.
I only played it once. I really have no desire of playing it again
http://boards.4chan.org/vp/thread/27147661/now-that-the-newest-trailer-has-dropped-i-have
Yet another most likely fake thread
Honestly like the names Hugrizzly and Archiquill
But these are most likely fake
God the first two posts seemed somewhat believable, but after that it just becomes so bad and so weird. I hate all those fake leakers, they annoy the shit out of me
What is this supposed to be the same guy from before? I may believe the other guy to some degree, but without some kind of proof that it’s still him I can’t say I believe this dude lol
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
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)
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.
Well then what do you think it’s evolution should be like if NOT a raichu mimic?
I’m calling fake because I’m saying that no eeveelutions will get Megas.
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)
lmao he said that Typhlosion becomes Fire/Posion and gets POISON HEAL, it can’t even get poisoned if it’s a poison type. It’s very probably fake
Slay them all …..Muhahahahhaaa
Is today the new episode of the anime?
Does anyone know?
Next week
Them bastards
Oh… Got it. How dare they XD
next week.
Great, thank you!
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.
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
He got his mega first, and is the poster child for mega evolution,he is still relevant.
I was really hoping that Zoroark would replace Lucario tbh, I like Zoroak more
Yeah I really wanted Zoroark in Smash bros as well. Not sure why it didn’t happen :/
Finished @Exeledus ‘s profile pic!
Wowee we can submit pokestops and gyms to be made now
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
As someone who loves playing Pokemon Go: I cannot wait until it dies.
And why is that? lol
So only the TRUE pokemon fans play it, we have all these hypocrites who made fun of me when I was little for playing pokemon playing it. Geez, I hate em.
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)
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
Donphan is the better elephant 😛
Well mammoths and elephants are also not the same creature so…
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
So I went a little overboard

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.
That’s actually pretty awesome, wouldn’t mind that happening at all 😀
Don’t tell Earthen you want a Raichu evolution 😛
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’.
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.
Poor guy </3
awesome drawing 🙂
Dunno why it didn’t show all of my comment (at least for me)
but I said ‘awesome drawing :)’
I can’t see the rest either, but thank you! I hear Disqus has been acting up lately, so I’d chalk it up to that.
yeah, cause when I click ‘edit’ it shows my whole comment, but when I click ‘save’ it just goes back to showing only the first part (without the </3 as well D:)
Ah well, at least it's only one comment so far
I want to see Heracross in this game! Just image it’s horn with crazy combos! It would be fun to use!
I’ve been waiting for some GOD DAMN FREAKING MEGA HERACROSS FOOTAGE THEY DENIED ME IN THE MEGA EVOLUTION SPECIAL I NEED TO SEE THAT THING FIGHT ARRRGGHHHHHHARRRGGHHHHHH *Mouth foaming*
Heracross is the most important Pokemon to me in my Fighting type circuit (and I was a gigantic Heracross lover the day I saw it in my youth)
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.
*thought
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.
Basically this. A Fire/Ground is also usually one that evolved from another Fire, while Ground/Fire has more roots in Ground. Doesn’t really matter for the rest though.
Thanks for the clarification. I heard someone say that stab only works for the primary type, and so I was confused.
STAB works for both
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
That pause is beautiful isn’t it?…..he look like underworld lord ..his screaming is awesome though. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1468495399632.jpg
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!
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
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.
I could definitely see that, but it could also just be a fancy leaf. It would be very neat if we could collect zygarde cells all over Alola though!
Maybe there’ll be a radar, like dexnav or is dexnav, that functions like Pokémon GO…..maybe
Still think it’s just a leaf, but it’s possible.
I just crashed my bike playing Pokemon GO
Didn’t even come close to hatching my stupid egg either
It’s people like you that give us safe trainers a bad name hahahaha
Lol it was my fault. Made a stupid turn. I didn’t get too hurt. Just hit my elbow a bit. It was kinda funny though
Are we about to see you in the news? 😛
“Local Pokemon GO trainer crashed their bike, Pokemon GO seen as dangerous, tonight at 11”
Haha that would be great but nah. I was just in my neighborhood and tried to make a quick turn but landed in the grass and my bike threw me onto the concrete so that was fun. Someone drove past me when I fell too so I’m sure they had a laugh because it probably looked kinda funny
I’d be laughing too, but then again I laugh at a lot of things xD
“the show must go on
inside my heart is breaking
my makeup may be flaking
but my smile still stays on”
Finally making some progress on the national dex in X. 470 and counting
Hey, wait a second . . . Is your avatar Napstablook from Undertale?
So did anyone hear about the Nintendo Classic Mini?
