Pokkén Tournament - new characters (Suicune, Gardevoir, Pikachu)

I think the roster will be around 20-24 characters and they'll at least try and balance the choices between all generations. Charizard and Mewtwo are pretty much inevitable so I don't really see any more Gen I Pokemon being in for the inital arcade release. Maybe the potential Wii U version will have more characters like most home console fighters do compared to their arcade versions.
 
I didn't want Pikachu and I wanted Gallade instead of Gardevoir :(
Oh well I guess that means Luxray might have a tiny tiny chance <3

That Suicune render looks amazing. Gameplay looks weird though.

Gallade could still be a character. There really aren't that many other well known, fighting game able fourth generation Pokemon besides Lucario and Gallade, unless you go outside the box for stuff like Roserade or Weavile.

So far we have the mascot of Pokémon, a quadrupedal legendary, and pandering in the form of Gardevoir. I really hope the roster primarily consists of Fighting-types, but I'm now I'm worried. I want Hariyama and Poliwrath. =(
 
The Pikachu and Suicune renders look awful.

But fighters are the worst type! This is clearly a fact and not just my personal opinion.

Screw fighting types. Instead, they should add some more Fairy types and give Fighting mons another middle finger like GF did when this gen started.
 
Fuck yes, Gardevoir. Totally didn't expect it, but I'm glad that my favourite Pokemon (and likely my main!) is in. It looks really fun to play, too. I'm all aboard now, I think. All I need is Hawlucha (and I remain totally confident he's gonna make it), Gallade, Scizor, and Tyranitar, and this roster will be pretty much perfect.
 
anyone got gifs / webms of the super moves? I love Gardevoir's cannon thing and Machamp's ORAORAORAORAORA
 
Oh man, looking very interesting from a game pay perspective. All worries of them sticking to close too Tekken is gone. Gardevoir is definitely the most interesting to me so far.
 
The only character with a confirmed sex so far is Pikachu because of its tail. Machamp can be female, Gardevoir can be male, and so on.

Also, love how the crystal on Suicune's head looks in the render.
 
There really should be a Pokemon-like series designed for Pokemon fans in their 20s. Maybe bring back Jade Cocoon or something.
 
So I actually want them to try and be creative by adding really difficult characters to make a moveset for, imagine trying to make a moveset for onix or diglett, would be very interesting
 
I'm sorry, but the realistic fur texture on those renders looks... really gross.

Hoping Pokemon like Darmanitan, Chesnaught, Medicham, and Zoroark will be included.
...Probably not.
 
Fennekin? God dammit, that rules out my hope of Braixen being playable. Pikachu looks totally badass though.

Edit: Oh man, just saw Mega Gardevoir in action. Alright, this is officially cool now.
 
This game should have been cel shaded. I seriously dislike the look of the monsters and how they are going for "realism" with the shaders/textures.

Huge missed opportunity IMO.
