There hasn’t been much news lately about the upcoming Pokémon fighting game. We’ve speculated on a couple of things like which fighters we want to see and what it means to be part of the fighting genre. Well, luckily today some interesting new details came about.

A few new Pokémon were revealed, Suicune, Gardevoir, Pikachu and Mega Lucario are confirmed as fighters. It’s very exciting to see Pokémon that just aren’t Fighting-types. This broadens the amount of possibilities for Pokkén Tournament. But there are also some Pokémon that will appear as supporters including Snivy, Emolga, Fennekin and Lapras. Eevee makes an appearance but it’s unknown what its role is yet.

It appears size doesn’t matter much in Pokkén Tournament. Since Pikachu is a lot smaller than the other Pokémon you would think it would have the advantage. Same would go for Suicune since it’s on all fours. But the combat seems to work well. There are also special attacks, like Lucario going Mega and exploding the stage with its aura power.

The footage shown is very reminiscent of other fighting games but it won’t be shown in 2D like Street Fighter. You’ll at least get to run around the combat field. Some stages include a nice windswept field called Chrom Town and a craggy volcanic interior named Phos Volcano. There are other Pokémon that appear in the backgrounds of the stages which is lovely to see.

Along with new characters is the reveal of an arcade controller. Instead of a joystick with a few buttons, it’s played using an attached SNES-looking controller. Look for more information on the game to come in the next few days. Until then, enjoy a few images from the showing.
