Posted January 27, 2016 Really!? Oh wow! I never knew that! So in a roundabout sense, Smashboards is actually an official Nintendo site No because TPCi is not Nintendo :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2016 No because TPCi is not Nintendo :p So it's an official Pokemon site instead? That must sting a little, Serebii... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2016 Aaaaaanyway. They just announced the Pokkén Tournament Championship Series Basically the current VGC and TCG setups but for Pokkén, culminating in the Pokkén Tournament World Championships at the Pokémon World Championships Wow, they really are going all in with this game, huh? For all they know, this game could really flop in the west. It's not going to flop in the west, but that is some overconfidence right there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2016 Part of me wants it to flop just so I can watch the world burn :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2016 Part of me wants it to flop just so I can watch the world burn :p I'm in the same boat. I want this game to be good, but at the same time, I also want these World Championships to open up and the only people who show up are a couple of die-hard players from Japan. And only because it would be really funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 8, 2016 Looks like scanning all the amiibo will offer some goods. Coming from the official amiibo page...- Tap the Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card to the Wii U GamePad controller to unlock Shadow Mewtwo to be played right away. - Compatible with all amiibo accessories unlocking in-game items.

Posted February 15, 2016 Here's a bunch of new shots and details from Gaf. 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. Umbreon uses Snarl which sucks up the opponent's Resonance Gauge and prevents them being able to land critical hits Other details from StreetsAhead on Gaf. Yes, there is a customizable player avatar. "In Pokken Tournament, you can set your Battle Trainer's appearance, choosing your gender, skin colour, face and more!" "In 'My Town' you can change your Battle Trainer's appearance and what items they're wearing. Also, you can use the in-game currency 'PokeGold' (PG) to obtain new items as well!"

Posted February 15, 2016 Nice, it's good to see there's that extra bit of personality to the game afforded by avatars. Gives it a bit more of a Pokémon Stadium feel to it even though this is clearly on a different level entirely. : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 15, 2016 Hmm? Why cancel? Next few months are looking to be pretty expensive for me, wanna try and conserve money where I can. Will definitely be picking this up eventually though as it looks rad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2016 I cancelled my pre-order for this. I'll get later when it pops up at a decent price. Hmm? Why cancel? Yes Guy, why you no buy Pokken? If Nintendo goes under because you didn't buy your copy of the game, we'll come looking for you*. *Disclaimer - I'm sure it won't come to that and we wouldn't really even if that were the case, well... N-E wouldn't, Serebii might though... possibly, maybe? Probably not. :p Next few months are looking to be pretty expensive for me, wanna try and conserve money where I can. Will definitely be picking this up eventually though as it looks rad. In that case, I completely retract the above statement. Enjoy it when you get around to purchasing!

Posted February 17, 2016 Interesting little news article about how it came to be: http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/17/11025524/pokken-tournament-interview-nintendo-wii-u Mostly just posting this though for the quote below that is bound to upset @Josh64 When representatives from Bandai Namco met with Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of The Pokemon Company, the idea was to do a Pokemon-themed version of the rhythm series Taiko Master.

What they said before is that Bandai Namco came to them for licensing for some songs in Taiko Drum Master and that's when they got talking about it.
