The big confirmed news of the day is that Pokkén Tournament will be returning to the Pokémon World Championships 2017. It was noticeably absent from the schedule that was first announced for Worlds, but Japanese sources have confirmed that the fighting game will be returning again this year according to Serebii.
Various tuning tweaks are slated to go live for the arcade version in Japan on Tuesday, but the Wii U version remains noticeably behind. The console version even lacks playable characters that have been available to arcade players for months. Fans will hopefully see an update, but nothing official has been announced.
One interesting prospect raised by presence of Pokkén Tournament at Worlds is the possibility that it will be re-released for the new Nintendo Switch console. With Wii U production officially ended it wouldn’t necessarily make sense to promote a game for a dead console. It seems likely that the title will see a port which may include the features and updates that the Wii U version currently lacks. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for news on the matter!
FEATURED DISCUSSION: Poekmon [sic] gen 8 speculations
should be a switch version called POKKEN TOURNAMENT DOUBLE XL MEGA HYPER ARCADE EDITION
Make it happen, Nintendo
If they make a Switch version, they should at least add a Gen 7 Poekmon, that would be neat
sec
alright if you can restock the roster with 6 newcomers who would you add
Snorlax
Braviary
Golisopod
Incineroar
Salazzle
Golem
Out of the 3 alola starters, honestly Incineroar deserves it the most
and i can already see his Burst attack
The Mega Malicious Moonsault Z
where he roars with power and his body is engulfed in black flames, he summons his arena and leaps miles into the sky and he dive bombs into the opponent as flames erupt from his belt in the shape of his insignia
I want:
Druddigon
Beartic
Decidueye
Mimikyu
Alola Exeggcutor
Alola Marowak
Alola Ninetails
i see Mimikyu and A. Exeggutor as assists
Mimikyu uses Substitute which blocks an attack
and Exeggutor uses Dragon hammer and pounds the area to inflict damage
No Questions
A. Sandslash
Hitmonchan
Gumshoos
Krookodile
Samurott
Kabutops
Decidueye
Gallade
Lurantis
Silvally
Bisharp
Lycanroc(moon)
From any gen?
1. Infernape
2. Golisopod
3. Donphan
4. Electabuzz
5. Scrafty
6. Hitmonlee
Alolan Sandslash
Arcanine
Crabrawler/ Crabominable
Genesect
Aggron
Marshadow
Decidueye
Golisopod
Kommo-o
Dewott
Marshadow
Mienshao
Even though Im not interested in this series (yet) I wonder what new pokemon they will include
Definitely some gen 7 ones. Hopefully Decidueye or Lurantis those guys would look cool battling
i just wanna see a whole big roster, or a Sequel
A big roster would be nice. I mean we have 800+ pokemon theres no reason we should have less than 30
well don’t forget that does include a lot of work, and this was their first run
i’m still peeved we don’t have any super heavyweights
Machamp?
I think the Hitmon’ family should be in it. Also Ursaring. Gen 7 would likely add Incineroar. I’d like Lycanroc, Oranguru and Kommo-O in there, as well as Lurantis and Decidueye.
(Im reposting this since it probably wasnt seen on the last article)

Verlis feeds off the hate, so this all helps him
yeah but when has he been on pokejungle like I only think of one time and that was when we thought rainbow greninja was coming for sun and moon and he was ranting on the rumor.
ughhhhh they should’ve honestly called it Hero-Greninja
my theory makes so much sense
in a broad stroke the Synchronization bond phenomenon is a coincidence
i theorized that Ash’s particular Greninja is either the ancestor or the reincarnation of the legendary Hero Greninja, and that yes it is true that Greninja achieved a form but it is never officially stated if the NHG looks the same as Ash-Greninja, because i theorize that the Legendary hero looked nearly identical as Ash and Ash’s greninja is reawakening the same form LNG took not copying Ash
I like this, though all legends have a beginning, maybe Ash-Greninja is the first. Also you mean Descendant, Ancestor is the past.
Man, for how much you all claim to hate him you sure do talk about him a lot.
And if I’m being honest? How does hating on him like this make you any better than him?
I hate him mostly cause he bashed Pokéjungle, but I more just ignore Verlis
He’s a horrible journalist who thinks he’s hot shit. There’s not much more to say about it than that. If he doesn’t want his feelings hurt maybe he should cut his clickbate bullshit.
No offense, but do you need to post all of this? Why not spread more positive things?
Join the circle jerk
lol verlisify sucks looooooooooooooll
Aw, what a sad little vulnerable snowflake
Snuflek
Verlisify or OP?
Verlisify. He’s so “real” which apparently makes him vulnerable. How laughable. You report about Pokémon and make money off of clickbate, dude, sit the fuck down
And tha’s the good part about him compared to the rest of his sh*t
No no no let him do his thing. If he keeps making people think his strategies are good, maybe I can feel better about my ability to do competitive battling by winning against them!
Fury cutter venusaur FTW
The switch port stuff is certainly an interesting situation. On one hand, it’s nice that people who skipped the Wii U will get a chance to play it and that more attention is being brought to the amazing Wii U library. On the other hand there’s a part of me that wants to buy all the Wii U ports again for the switch for the added content and portability but as a loyal Wii U owner it sucks that there’s no loyalty discount, since I’ll basically be paying 60 dollars for some DLC.
But I’m complaining too much, the portability is surely worth it
Its basically $60 dollars of DLC lol
With the game included
yep basically the base game is like $30 while the other $30 is DLC
Right but I feel like if I’ve already bought the game for Wii U there should be some kind of discount, even if it was only 10% off or something.
Unfortunately that’s how videogames port work :/
It’s just frustrating, that’s all. Like I don’t know if I can justify a 60 dollar price point on MK8D just for an advanced battle mode and portability. I really want to but it’s a bit much.
If you’re lucky they’ll release a wii u patch after the switch version hits retail? 🙂 makes more sense as their private course of action the more I think about it
Hate to say it, but I really don’t care……Unless they fix the weird controls and add in a better single player mode I can’t see myself buying yet another Pokemon tournament game. It hurts me to say that as I actually really like fighting games so a Pokemon themed one would be great you’d think. Instead we have thw awkward controls of Pokken and bland single player that feels like you’re just doing the same thing over and over again…..*sigh*
all of these crazy feminists so little time.

i’m also sorry if anyone doesn’t like it but i think it’s funny okay.
Tell me the law that prohibits me from bashing people’s skulls with rebar because this is just ridiculous
i never seen a law that prohibits you from bashing people’s skulls with rebar but I think you should bash the heads in of these “FEMINISTS” (feminazi)
best idea of the day have i ever told you my idea for the perfect rebar club?
a nice 2 1/2 foot rod, and industrial strength twine and i’d string nuts and wrap it around it and wrap a nice layer of duct tape
I can’t help with rebar but in my backyard thers a laundry drying pokes with wire i could let you have both poles with wire inchuded 😉
the poles look like this.

WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE USE OF TIMEZONES!
*smack*
What did you say about time zones, exactly?
*smacks*
KINKY
TELL ME ABOUT THEM TIMEZONES AGAIN
Well sometimes time (grunt) can be slightly different.. (Light pleasure noise)… in certain places. A-and some areas… (Mmph noises) can be a lot different… such as American and JAPAN!! ( Loud moan)
OH YES!!!!!! IM SO EDUCATED NOW ON THE TOPIC OF TIME ZONES
(Why is this actually the funniest idea ever… time zone fetish ftw XD)
Ya just can’t help yourself when you see multiple clocks all with different times corresponding to different areas in the world
Different clocks for different cocks

Blueneary
The best buneary is a dead buneary
did… did you and Earthen swap accounts?
Maybe we’ve been the same person all along.
I know how to test
Volcarona is shit
Me hit with rock it die
Holy crap it’s Earthen
So you will say “Volcarona is the worst pokemon to ever exist?”
Say it or you’re not Earthen
Pfff Earthen wouldn’t say that. Even he must acknowledge our overlord moth’s power

Can somebody tell me wtf Torracat’s punch is considering it can’t use fire punch, sucker punch, or really ANY move with the word punch in it?
Fruit
It doesn’t have access to that
no just… just give him some fruitpunch
Do you really think that disproportionate cat could even drink out of a cup? Or a bottle?
just pour it into a bowl
Do you really wanna waste time doing that when you have 19 1/2 better starters to chill with?
It’s not a punch it’s a punchline
It can’t be, could you properly draw a line with hands that size?
useless Pokedex flavor text
Than what the hell are the arm paws for?
Anyone have a Cryogonal costume? I wanna dress up as a special snowflake, and cryogonal is a special attacking snowflake

Thanks! 😀
This pun hurts so much…. and I love it
I knooowwwwww
Now I know why they call them “punchline” >~<
Ouuuuch, don’t get hurt
Besides, no pain no gain right?
Fun fact: I actually LOVE Cryogonal…. I think I’m the only person who does
it looks weird
It’s amusing to me cause it looks pissed off

“STOP THIS RACKET OR I’LL FREEZE ALL YE WHIPPERSNAPPERS SOLID!”

fuck gliscore
sorry that was rude
I am very upset about the events that transpired concerning a Gliscore
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7uu-532508089
I thik you may have misplayed a tiny bit
Did you have Aria?
Why would I use Aria over Surf?
Aria works like hype voice , it hits pass sub
…
oh
Yeah…
Can someone explain why gliscor is so good
Can somebody please spell it right? XD
Damn, added an extra e
Both of you did
Spel wat raight¿
Awl uv eet
because it has stupidly annoying defense and access to an extremely abuse-able ability
Poison heal?
yeah, switch it get poisoned and you don’t have to worry about status and you get frea healz
Could you give it leftovers in doubles and then have your partner mon poison it? So it’d get like double healing every turn?
I still love Gliscor, my favourite ground type :3
….. Did you not see Starstorms ground type?
It’s mega is pretty good…..
Oh wait
IT WOULD BE ;~;
I would use that mega
IF IT HAD ONE
I would too
I don’t feel like looking, but I feel like we’re talking about flygon
oh yeah tell me all the reasons you like it, why make it your favorite ground type
were flying slots already used
i swear in most favorite type charts its always Swampert, Flygon or Garchomp i seriously doubt people like them for their association of the earth
I actually believe Flygon would make a plausible ground/bug type
well i disagree
Why so?
because just because it looks like a bug mean is is one, and Flygon’s line revolves around Sand
I know it would be Ground still
I mean it’s LITERALLY based on a bug
And just because it looks like a dragon doesn’t mean it should be one either. But a sandlion is a type of insect…so it makes more sense.
and i’ve said Antlions and Dragonflies are also called Sand Dragons
Sand = ground, Dragon = Dragon
it does very little insect stufff
Burrowing pit traps = ground
Vibrava is a slight complication
but Flygon is all about sandstorms
Okay, and here’s where the hypocrisy sets in. You’ve told me Yanmega should not be bug/dragon just because it’s based on a DRAGONfly, yet when flygon is based on a “sand dragon,” (which antlions are only mistakenly called) it’s perfectly fine for it to be a dragon type. Just own up to the fact that ground/bug makes more biological sense.
Ultron, Volcarona fits you
It’s not the only one who burns things
https://m.popkey.co/b64a6a/QlGNr.gif
Yes, atta boi
my only rebuttal is this one is meant to be a dragon and built like one while Yanmega though being a dragonfly is not a dragon
Mega yanmega could be made to be a dragon
it could
Its dragon typing is basically GF not understanding that Flygon’s concept, a Sandlion, is not a type of dragonfly.
Exactly
SO do you agree with my typing choice?
Hell fucking yes I do. It should 1000% be ground/bug
I secretly wanted it to get quiver dance and a “bugalate” ability
One word: Boomburst
As much as i would love Quiver Dance its only for butterflies
Volcarona’s a moth
Masquerain’s a ….. thingy
Pheramosa is a sexualized cockroach
Sexualized CockRoach?( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That’s fun XD
Moths are in the same category
masquriane is a moth too
granted Pheramosa isn’t a butterfly them legs gives it elegant movements whuch is why Lilligant gets it too, but i prefer if butterflies only got it
And Flygon isn’t elegant?
i prefer spiritual
It’s both
All it has to do with is flapping wings. Quiver: flap or tremble rapidly
How are these not quivering?
http://pa1.narvii.com/5705/fedbdddb5388cd3b41d292299814cdbfb7ca0c66_hq.gif
They need to retcon its typing along witha few others. It’s just stupid. Leave the ground/dragon to zygarde and garchomp. Too bad they’ll never do it. They’ll just leave flygon as is: relatively useless.
Earthen and I have been in this argument before, and I won so there’s no need to start it up again/
I see ground bug so…
Also, bugilate boomburst
excuse me?
We had this conversation a long time ago and I basically destroyed you.
it is to laugh
Or dragon/bug
Nope.. I personally hate that idea
The whole “Idea” of Flygon is being a “Desert Mirage” type of pokemon
It would make no sense for its mega to just drop the desert idea like that
Meh, I just like it because it’s one of the few grounds type whose design appeal more to me n’stuff
OH NO BIBERAL CAN GET X3 ATTACK WITH ONE SWORDS DANCE

Tfw you can’t think of a good design
THAT FIRST ONE WAS PERFECT
Any of these would work
I think it’s because GF likes to go SUPER far left with their designs, so they dont want it looking like any of these ‘basic designs’ by just changing the appeearence slightly. RIP Mega Flygon dreams
“Sableye”
“Altaria”
You cannot tell me one of these wouldn’t work
No no no. I have yet to see a decent mega flygon.
I do like this one, although it’s a big overdesigned and perhaps random
https://pokecharms.com/data/attachment-files/2014/11/142878_Flygon_-_Mega_Evolution.png
this is my mega flygon design
-first of all its body stays relatively the same
-its eye covers get a neon green ring
-its antenna get a red dew
– its wings split in half and they are translucent green
-its feet gain claws
-from its neck to its tail barb like spines
now onto stats
it gains a significant boost to speed and Special Attack
and for added measures it now has a HA of Sand Stream and its Mega Ability is Sand Rush
I loved all of this until I saw its ability
dude how could that not be good
enters battle a sandstorm blows in
Mega Evolves into Mega Flygon it outspeeds everything with Sand Rush what possible ability would be better
I honestly would hope to build more on the idea that it is called the “Desert spirit” and give it more of a mystical ability. Flygon is not a very brute force pokemon
well how is speed brute force
I’m just saying it should get a more mystical type of ability
I actual will agree with Sand stream though, that does fit
you do realize called the mystic Pokemon because of the sound it makes by flapping its wings right? add a shroud of a sandstorm and it would be like a spirit of the desert
I know, I’m just saying while sand stream fits I feel as if another aability would work better
But it gets DD now, so why boost special attack.
BECAUSE
if you run physical you only get
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Rock Slide
and Steel Wing i guess
that is literally the only physical moves worth running
But special
dragon Pulse
earth power
giga drain
bug buzz
boomburst
flamethrower
just more variety
So give it quiver dance.
we can’t
GF should
you know their ways are shrouded with annoying mystery
MAAAANTINEEE NOW GETS ROOOOOOOOOOOOOST
i mean….it still technically could…y’know land on the ground and rest….
SILVALLLLLY GETS STEEEEEEEEEEL WIIIING
Silvally shouldn’t STEEL other Pokemon’s signature moves
But most mons already have it
maybe it uses it cockatiel thingy
No…. no it does not… that is not a wing, I do not care what anyone says
Also, Drampa gets it, can someone explain how this wingless creature uses steel wing
How about Beeheyem?
well Drampa learns fly naturally…..maybe it just floats or catchs drafts with its fur and glides on them….
The beeheyem thing i can explain because the TM was originally Ally Switch and they never removed the tm from its learnset
Why not? :3
-Looks at Golduck-
Meh, I still don’t like these flygon megas
Insert “Mega Flygon” on google and look for one you like
And GF can’t make a mega
No dude you’re doing it wrong, Google ” mega flygon design that kuppo likes only a bit because that’s enough because mega flygons are lame” and post the first image that pops up
Oh god
Curious enough, this was the first result:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/591d926a51bb3c5350a301b68656a065089109aed31c138f378fe642c7ffc383.jpg
And this is my favorite of all the results

That is something wonderous
Loving that last one
Same! Though I could see it being a more digital version
It definitely gives off a feel of it being a mystical desert being, which makes up of what Flygon is perfectly
Exactly!
@IntimidatingWurmple:disqus Heeeeyyy fam, ya wanna unban Mega-Mawile just for me?
