Pokkén Tournament (Japanese: ポッ拳 Pokkén Tournament Pokkén: Pokkén Tournament) is a Pokémon arcade fighting game heavily based on the Tekken series gameplay style. Bandai Namco Entertainment, the owners of the Tekken IP, developed the game under license from The Pokémon Company, and are responsible for distributing arcade cabinets in Japan.
After a limited demo run at a few locations, the full game became widely available at various public arcades in Japan starting from July 16, 2015. On July 22, 2015, Dave & Buster's representative stated on Reddit that the arcade game would be tested at D&B locations. On August 21, 2015, a Wii U port of Pokkén Tournament was revealed. The Wii U port will be released in Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia in Northern Hemisphere spring 2016, and will feature Pikachu Libre as a playable character.
A brief snippet of footage from the game featuring Lucario and Blaziken first appeared at the end of a retrospective at the Pokémon Game Show, which was held in Tokyo on August 17 and 18, 2013. Later that month, the game's title was discovered as a trademark registered in Japan and the United States, although the connection between the title and the footage was not confirmed until the game's formal announcement. The game was officially announced on a NicoNico livestream that was held by the The Pokémon Company on August 26, 2014, which showed Lucario (which Mega Evolved into Mega Lucario) fighting Machamp. The English Pokémon site also mentioned the announcement, and uploaded the debuting teaser trailer for the game on their YouTube channel.
Bandai Namco Games, the game's developer, asked for fighter suggestions. Japanese residents could Tweet at @pokken_official with the Pokémon they would like to see using the hashtag #ポッ拳 in order to make a suggestion. Due to having the most requests, Gengar was confirmed as a fighter in April 2015.
Gameplay
Taking place in Ferrum, the game combines the gameplay of the Tekken series with Pokémon characters.
Battles
Battles have two different phases: Field Phase (Japanese: フィールドフェイズ), where players fight in a 3D battlefield, and Duel Phase (Japanese: デュエルフェイズ), where players fight in a 2D battlefield. When the phase is changed, it is called a Phase Change (Japanese: フェイズチェンジ).
Modes
- Tutorial (Japanese: チュートリアル)
- National Battle (Japanese: 全国対戦)
- Single Play (Japanese: シングルプレイ)
- Local Battle (Japanese: 店内対戦)
