It has today been confirmed that none other than Garchomp, Mewtwo and Braixen will be making an appearance in the forthcoming Pokemon themed beat-em-up, Pokken Tournament. The news was revealed today in a Japanese news publication and you can check out a scan, below.
Thanks, Retrogaminglord
The more, the merrier , all we need now is Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hawlucha, Hariyama, Primeape, Infernape, and many others too.
That’s pretty great and all, but none of their names have ラ in them. I’m still rooting for some more.
Yay, more fire types.
At least it’s not a final evo. Mewtwo was all but confirmed and Garchomp is a cool addition. This means 15 playable characters (counting Shadow Mewtwo) + the one with ラ on its name. 16 characters is a decent-sized roster already, but I’m hoping for some more.
I’m still confused on this. Is Shadow Mewtwo actually playable or is he just an extra opponent to fight?
Confirmed playable, though you have to unlock it first or use its amiibo card to get it.
Forgot to say, it’s just a secret (non-playable) boss in the arcade, but it’s playable on the Wii U release.
I would have preferred Delphox, though. :/ Compared to many other mid-evolutions, I can think of a few that would have been better than Braixen. Like … damn it! Well this is embarrassing. I can’t think of one off the top of my head after all… But I know there is one! I guess I’ll just have to get my 3DS & skim through the 713(?) Pokemon I got stored in my PokéBank. lol
Vigorth needs to happen if we’re getting more mid-evos
I guess to be fair, Pikachu is a mid-evolution, too, considering Pichu evolves into Pikachu. Same with Jigglypuff & Clefairy. Then there is Magmar & Electabuzz since they got pre-evolved forms in gen 2 & they got evolutions in gen 4. Hah! There we go! Magmar & Electabuzz! Much better mid-evolutions than Braixen already!
Completely forgot about Pichu, you’re right.
Yay, let’s have one of the most broken dragon Pseudo-Legendaries in history join the battle. I hope that he won’t be as overpowered in this game.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Garchomp is no fun in the games…
When I take the fact our Pokemon can mega-evolve into account, I don’t mind Garchomp because it’s mega-evolution is actually pretty cool & doesn’t look as bland as regular Garchomp.
All on the fire starter train!!!! It’s a shame ’bout the other types, but who the fuck cares WE’RE ALL FIRED UP!
that’s stupid none of them have ラ in their names guess we’re getting a new pokemon
but when it all comes out Halucha and Gallade better be playable game freak don’t make the stupid choices like sakurai did
What was wrong with Sakurai’s choices?
Oh god..! See what you got started, Ryo! Now here comes the Sakurai Defense Force!
Cmon now, we all know Greninja hitmonlee or chan gonna join im guessing at least 30 characters are gonna be playable, 30 the least…
Out of this, I have 2 question;
1. Since Mewtwo is a new reveal, does this mean he will have a different moveset to Shadow Mewtwo?
2. Is the Pokemon being revealed this Friday 1 of these 3?
Oh thank God they have a regular Mewtwo!! Anyways, I’m happy with the other 2!😄
I don’t get it hasn’t Japan had this game in the arcades for a year already? Are they adding new Pokémon for the wii u version or had they simply not been announced worldwide before?
They are adding it on the Wii U version. so ye
now we have 16 fighters, we need more! Pokemans Fight. Like 35 Fighters is all right. I want hitmonlee and hitmonchan
I’m jappy about Mewtwo and Garchomp. I have no idea what Braixen is though. Is it a starter?
*happy, not jappy.
I am not jappy.
Braixen is the first evolution of Fennekin (Gen 6 fire starter)
I still don’t understand why we need dual screens for multiplayer. I’m assuming the arcade version doesn’t need to dual screens to have players fight each other right?
I completely forgot about Gallade (thanks for remind me, Ryo)! I freaking love it’s mega-evolution! Yes! Add in Gallade, damn it! Don’t forget the Hitmons! Especially Hitmonlee (Bruce Lee ftw!) & Hitmonchan!
Not my first choice for mid-evo pokemon (would have gone with Grovyle or Dewott), but it isn’t bad…
…I still want Kricketune though…
