New Pokken Tournament information has arrived courtesy of Pokemon fan site Serebii which further details content that’s specific to the Wii U version of the game. Not only have we learnt some new information, but we’ve also been given some brand new artwork for the game that you can check out below. Pokken Tournament is out March 18th.
- The Ferrum League is a feature exclusive to the Wii U version. Beating stages adds more support Pokemon and battle areas. There are four ranks to this league: Green League, Blue League, Red League & Chrome League. It takes place in the Ferrum region. In this region, Resonance Stones link people and their Pokémon. In this game, players can customise their player character’s gender, skin colour, hair and so forth.
- There are various trainers you will encounter. Nia helps players navigate the world, and she chose Weavile. There are also trainers who exist only in the Wii U version who are tough to beat. Travis with his Garchomp, Keith with his Suicune and Erin with her Braixen
- New modes have been revealed. Practice Mode is where you get to test your skills with no time limit or health. Free Training allows you to train freely. Combo Dojo will teach you various combos for the Pokémon. There’s also the My Town mode where you can alter your character’s appearance and clothing by spending the in-game currency, PokéGold
- For the Support Pokémon, Cubone uses Bonemerang which is a quick long range attack that hits multiple times and brings opponents to you. Diglett uses Dig which makes it easy to land combos when the opponent has been hit. Magneton uses Tri Attack which aims upward. It lowers opponents’ Speed & Attack and is good against jumping opponents. Quagsire uses Mud Bomb. It is effective on players on the ground and damages even if guarded against. Espeon uses Morning Sun which removes status conditions as well as healing Hit Points. The less time on the clock, the more it raises. Finally, Umbreon uses Snarl which sucks up the opponent’s Resonance Gauge and prevents them being able to land critical hits.

Good will get later
Next Pokemon game is Chrome confirmed
Well at least it sounds like there’s a little bit of content within the game. I really need to play a demo tho to see if the fighting style suits me. Everytime I see a trailer I can’t help but feel like theres not much range of combos u can use to make it unique
So the U version will be greatly superior. Glad to hear as this may get me to preorder. Plus I doubt it’ll get a price drop anytime after release.
I like the trainer designs. They remind me of the preset trainer types you could choose from in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
