When Tekken producer, Katsuhiro Harada, first announced the new Pokemon fighting game called Pokken Tournament, people were really indeed shocked. During a Niconico live streaming event, it was announced that new Pokemon will be added to the roster, and they include Pikachu (of course!), the legendary ice Pokemon, Suicune, and the Psychic Pokemon, Gardevoir. They will be joining the already-announced Lucario and Machamp.
The Pokken Tournament will also feature a support system which lets you choose your own support Pokemon. The arcade version will also feature a standard console controller as well as the traditional arcade stick.
Also released are three new gameplay videos which feature Suicune Vs. Machamp, Gardevoir vs. Pikachu, and Pikachu Vs. Lucario
Here are a few new points about Pokken according to Serebii.net
• You can use support Pokémon to help you out in various matches. The field is full 3D and allows for fighting and avoiding as you see fit. When you get close to a Pokémon, then it will tighten up.
• You press the L button to activate your Support Pokémon. You can also activate various powerful moves including Mega Evolution in combat.
• The backgrounds of the stages are active, with Pokémon and trainers moving around and interacting, such as Volcarona following a cyclist.
• There are various modes in the game: Single Play, National Battle and In-Store Battle. There’s also a Tutorial to play through.
• There are location tests going on in Japan on January 30th, 31st and February 1st. It costs 100¥ to play. Namco Umeda Store and Maco Razona Kawasaki will have online play available.
• 200 Bandai/Namco Passport cards will be given to players each day once they fill out the gameplay survey. Lucario on the 30th, Gardevoir on the 31st, Pikachu on February 1st. Machamp card will also be given at the Japan Amusement Expo on February 14th to the 500 players who fill out the survey.
• The buttons are as follows: L activates Support, R Guards, A uses Pokémon attacks, B jumps, X is a weak attack and Y is a strong attack. Using the D-Pad and the buttons gives you various different moves. Fill a gauge to unleash Resonance Gauge for extra damage and Burst Attacks (and Mega Evolution)
