Scizor Revealed for Pokkén Tournament

Pokkén Tournament, the Pokémon fighter brought to us from the same game studio as Tekken, has added a new fighter to its roster: Scizor (image above courtesy of Serebii)! This was widely expected after fans had datamined a game update which also included Darkrai (revealed several months ago) and Empoleon (yet to be officially announced).

Unfortunately, this announcement pertains to the Japanese arcade version of the game and owners of the Wii U version still haven’t gotten an update that includes Darkrai. Many fans are probably wondering if Scizor will similarly be delayed or even not show up on the console version. We can only hope.

  1. Ok so Derek and Ash from GamexPlain were not allowed to answer the question whether gyms are cut or returning in Sun and Moon

  2. Also a little sidenote: Confirmed that Omode will return to writing scripts for the S/M anime series. Same person who wrote most of the amourshipping scripts. So I guess Lillieshipping is gonna be a thing

Super pissed

    • They’ll give it when you buy the ticket, he can just leave after. It’s pretty expensive if you’re not seeing the movie.

      • I told him I’ll pay him all expenses yet he said might not have the chance to go I’m ok if he can’t though I understand that part but my Mom won’t even try to find a solution to my problem just keeps saying the same thing

        Oh right TY for not leaving yesterday we like you here

        • Well here’s hoping you can manage it somehow.

          Well I did leave but then thought about it and came back. I might have overreacted but I hate bullying and didn’t want to be a perpetrator of it, which I realised I may have been. I apologised to Earthern and hopefully he has forgiven me, we have spoken a bit today and he hasn’t ignored me so I’m hoping we’re OK now. Also thanks, I like you here too 🙂

  5. Tomorrow we get a new video and a pokémon generations episode. All that just after a Corocoro. This week is turning out really awesome! And the demo is next week too (kinda sad if it gets datamined and some of us have to abandon ship, but oh well).

    Reply
    • I hope the demo has enough replay value and reward to keep me coming back. The ORAS demo had rewards that kept me coming back, but it wasn’t fun after a certain point.

      Reply
      • My only problem with the ORAS demo was once you ran out of those quests it became incredibly hard to want to go back to it. I guess part of that is because ORAS and XY were so similar and it was almost nothing new in a way. I’m sure that even if the SuMo demo isn’t super big it’ll still be interesting to play multiple times just to play around with the mechanics lol

    • I think 2 articles would be good if it does, one with new ‘mon, the other with everything else. If you don’t want any spoilers at all you probably aren’t coming here now anyway.

      Reply
      • Yeah I’m gonna stick to official reveals and just ask someone I trust about a few questions like number of pokémon/alola forms/megas??/evolutions???/what is up with UBs/is there a decent postgame. Lol just thinking if I none of my friends go for the info I may need to ask someone here haha.

        Reply
      • No offence but from the few minutes I got seeing the anime, I would rather be shot mutiple times than have to endure that. It’s that jinbanyan abominations fault, while I was watching it all I wanted was to see it tortured to death.
        Anyway haha, sorry you can’t go, hope you enjoy it if you get to see it!

  6. Heads up, if you preordered Sun or Moon from GAME and expected the Figure, they changed it to an “Art Card” without telling anyone and aren’t even giving it to people who’ve already preordered, so if you want the figure in the UK you should probably change your order to Nintendo Store while you can. Should probably pass this message on as no one seems to have noticed and it’s a little important to those who preorderd from GAME cause of it.

    Reply
    • Yeah luckily for me the stupid GAME site wouldn’t process my preorder, and by the time I tried again the figures preorder was only accessible through old links, so I went with the nintendo site.
      Tbh I’m kind of worried the games won’t arrive on release date though, it does say nintendo store take a few weeks to process/deliver on the actual site, and Serebii Joe had that issue with Paper Mario Colour Splash because he ordered it there but cancelled because it wasn’t even out for delivery by the release date..
      There might be a price to pay for the figures :/

      Reply
      • Well we already get it later, another few days won’t hurt. However, everytime I’ve ordered from Nintendo Store, I’ve gotten games early.

        Reply
        • Ah awesome, I’m way less worried now! And I kinda disagree, we already have to wait five days, I don’t want to wait another one :p .

  7. For anyone who watched the GameExplain video, Hau picks the starter weak to your own, so there will probably be a more douchey rival this gen as per tradition

    Reply
  8. So I’m thinking Type: Null’s evo has got to have some pretty amazing stats if it was designed to challenge Arceus, who has 720 BST. I also wonder if its evolution method will be love? Or if it will be something special? Also, its evolutions name is going to be a real pokemon name in English, right? Not like Type: Multi or something stupid…

  9. SO! I never goto post my thoughts on the stuff last article, so here I go. Ilima looks weird IMO. Eating alolan garbage is a horrible reason, perfect for a horrible redesign. Shiruvadi is super cool, as soon as I get a clearer picture I’m changing my avatar to it (please don’t call it Type: All). Also this pretty much confirms an arceus connection, so this also confirms we’re in for the deepest lore and story ever in a pokemon game (IT ALL COMES TOGETHER!?!?!). Jangmo-o’s evos look great, I was kinda hoping that it would stay on all fours (GF just loves bipedal pokemon don’t they?) but they really hit it out of the park with these designs (the arms are a bit long though). The type also makes me really happy, because it’s a powerful and unique type combo. It’s welcome on my team anytime. Do we know their abilities though? I couldn’t find them, but it seems odd, as CoroCoro usually says abilities.

    Reply
    • Ilima is fabulous and I love them but yeah Grimer is awful. Somehow made a bad design worse. I’m not big on the evolution but others seem to like it. I wasn’t even 100% on its first for so 😛

      Reply
    • i forgave GF for making Jangmo-o evo bipedal because it reminds of a velociraptor and i always imagine velociraptors being bipedal

      Reply
    • I don’t think the issue with Stufful, Sandygast, and Palossand mentioned abilities either. I can’t recall anything about other issues.

  10. Something I’d like to note: Everyone seems to think Gladion will be the edgy, stronger rival (even though we have no indication of this), and I feel like this may be hau (pun ALWAYS intended) he does it. Maybe he’s not a rival in the sense that he has a starter good against you, but maybe he uses the Shiruvadi type good against your starter?

    Reply
  11. Jangmo-o’s abilities were Bullet Proof and Sound Proof.
    If the evolutions keep the same abilities, it’s means Jararango is immune to Pixilate Hyper Voice.
