August 27th, we're getting some big announcement about a new pokemon related thing, probably a game.


It's possible it's just that detective Pikachu thing, but it could also be the Wii U Pokemon game they teased at ages ago, or god forbid, Pokken Fighters, lol


Thoughts?

The Wii U game they teased probably was Pokken Fighters.

 

 

Please based Nintendo let it be Pokken Fighters.

So is Pokken fighters like a Tekken crossover?

 

Like where'd that idea even come from? Was it leaked or did someone just make it up and everyone else ran with it?

I think they applied for the trademark or something.

 

The image of what looks to be a fighting game was teased by them, so I assume it could be a thing.

Possibly, though the same thing looked kinda like an HD Battle Revolution as well.

 

I can sorta see the tekken inspiration tho.

 

But like is there anything ACTUALLY known about it besides the trademark being filed?

 

I feel like everything I'm reading is just assumption and speculation taken as fact.

Nope, that's it.  The reason for the speculation is because the screenshot had a dojo looking thing in the background and both pokes were fighting type. 

 

Could be a fighting game, could be a Stadium type game.  I'd be happy with either.

I'm hoping for more games licensing. Anyone got any cool ideas for types of games other companies could take a Nintendo license for?

I want to see a Silent Hill-esque Pokemon game set in Lavender Town.  

 

I am probably the only one who wants that though.  Also it would be an incredibly stupid business move for Nintendo.

First I would like to say, I would want that, but yes, it could be a bad move, unfortunately.

Though, I've been wanting a more mature Pokemon game for a while. It kinda makes sense, I mean, those who played the original are adults now.

That's the thing, it wouldn't need to be violent or anything.  Just ominous and mysterious.  We have enough torture porn "horror" games. 

 

It could be just like a scary adventure game, so maybe Silent Hill isn't the best example.

Watch that remake of Atari's Haunted House turn into a Pokémon Lavender Town spin-off

Ah, yeah that's true. I would be on board with that. The ghost stuff in X/Y really made me want to see more of that sort of thing.

 

I doubt they'd have 2 similar ones like Sawk and Throh

 

 

Gallade and Mewtwo can be, but I doubt they'd add such nonhuman Pokemon as Pikachu

To be fair, Sawk and Throh are actually quite different. Sawk is more the punching and kicking while Throh is....well...throwing.

I really want to see nonhumans, just to see how they fight. I'd love something like Tentacruel, or Hydreigon in a fighting game.

I want to be a fighting game. :D

 

But yeah, I can see pretty much every fighting Pokemon thus-far being in it.  Development cost is a limiting factor, but you could come up with a unique moveset for Machoke and Machamp for example.  

 

I can also see exceptions being made for things like Pikachu.

I hope its a fighting game.

 

Though the thing about Pokken is that it isn't necessarily a crossover with Tekken. When it comes to fighting, the Japanese word "ken" means "fist", and is a suffix in the names of various fighting styles. Before Tekken (which means "Iron Fist") came to mind, I figured it was just a portmanteau of Pokemon and ken, which I guess would be "Poke Fist" or something like that.

Iron Fist

Poke Fist

 

I doubt it's a coincidence, especially since Bamco is working on Smash Bros.

 

I'm hoping for some crossover characters and costumes.
