Empoleon Announced for Pokkén Tournament

Empoleon has just been announced as a playable character for Pokkén Tournament! The Water/Steel-type will be available in the arcade version beginning on December 15th. Its existence was first hinted at in datamining leaks during summer, but it will finally make its official debut now six months later.

Still no word if the extra characters, including Darkrai and others, will ever make it to the Wii U console version. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for some official word!

  1. Hey I thought I would ask this question because we all use the 3DS quite often. It just so happens that whenever I try to start up Moon the screen has been black for a bit before actually getting to the title screen. I wasn’t really concerned until this time-the title screen didn’t show up. I have turned it off and back on again; the game is still working but there is still a lag for the title screen to pop up. Is there a reason that anyone can think of as to why this is happening? Sorry for asking this troubling question but this is bothering me quite a bit.

  2. Festival plaza would be so much better if it wasn’t the only way to link trade and battle. It’s cool, but it’s a hassle to find people on there.

  3. Legitimate question: are the people on the GTS stupid enough that they think they’ll get their pikipek for necrozma trade, or are they just trying to be annoying?

  4. Idk if this is relevant, but in gen 6 games (XYORAS) the meoletta event is live. So close out of gen 7, open gen 6 realize how bad gen 6 graphics are, reopen gen 7 obtain meoletta.

  5. The Battle Royal is an interesting concept, but the frame rate on my 3DS XL is terrible. For those currently hosting one (Earthen, SomeGuy, and Ithsme), are you guys using a New 3DS or coping with the lag on the older one?

  6. Anyone else notice the golf course by Hano Grand Resort, which is visible on the Alola Map, can’t be accessed? That’s kinda unfortunate, considering it would have been a great way to develop Kahili’s character more other than the single NPC who mentions her in the Resort.
