No one changed character throughout the invitational so Lucario and Gengar weren't used.

Pokken Tournament for Wii U (Spring 2016 WW) Announced at Pokemon World Championships
- Thread starter Volotaire
- Start date
No one changed character throughout the invitational so Lucario and Gengar weren't used.
Combination of folks that expected a Gen 6.5 or 7 announcement, and casuals angry that this isn't a real time pokemon rpg on console.
thanks for the answer
:/ I mean, D1 said he has a hard difficulty curve, but I would've loved to see him in action. I guess videos of him will come out soon enough

It must be people who were expecting something else. Pokemon spinoff games get made all the time. That's a lot of your life to live angry if you were to get upset over each one.
Pretty hyped to play as Blaziken, Charizard, and Pikachu...err...Heihachu.
Personally, I think it is a good thing. Pokken could be a regular series they keep iterating and could have a place in future PWC series. It just adds another form of competitive Pokemon on top of the VGC and TCG.
Spring never means early spring. ;_;
This is the first time Worlds had a focus on a spin-off game.

Spring typically means late May/early June when it comes to game launches

Yeah, I'm totally using Gengar. Him and Suicune probably.
Even though there are bipedal/fighting Pokemon that I'd like to see in, such as Blastoise, Primeape, the Hitmons, Hawlucha etc., I'd love for some more crazy Pokemon to be added. Stuff like Parasect, Dewgong, and Donphan etc. that could be completely unique, and unlike almost any other fighting game character.

Look at Ishihara being boss, you think anyone will ask him about what happened to that Pikachu detective game.
Darn it Harada, stop playing around, where is Summer Lesson?!
But they have to know that an Evo appearance would do wonders for the game. It is at the back of thier mind to make it out for Evo.
Let me rephrase that: If the Pokemon Company had any sense for a fighting game, they'd get it released before the biggest fighting game tournament. Get the sponsorships, get the practice, get in the line-up. Clearly, they're aware of the brand potential with regards to the players and participants.
My biggest worry was whether Pokken would turn out to be a good game or not. This Invitational has alleviated that worry, so now I'm hoping to see it catch on from a viewership/spectator standpoint. Extra characters and all of that can be added later on.

What happened to Jirachi and Whimsicott as assists? Have they not been added yet?

they are unlocked if you register/create a banapass account, so naturally they won't be here
Again, like every other clone situation, you're weren't going to get your favorite character or pokemon over the clone. The clone was made because the base model was already there and the resources and time to make it are way less than a brand new model.
Libre Pikachu didn't cockblock Hawlucha.

This assumes that there'll even be a place for this game at EVO. The setup is still a question mark (the game being a 3D fighter is a bit of a hurdle with non-arcade setups) and it needs to prove it has an audience by the time EVO happens.
It might be a little side tourney though. Game looked like a lot of fun but its probably not as easy to get it to work, tournament-wise.
Wrong game.
Where is Tekken X Streetfighter you bloody bastard?
She's a different model and likely has completely different moves.
Hawlucha's not in cause it sucks.

Pikachu Libre isn't a clone and literally has a moveset that works on Hawlucha perfectly, including his signature move.
Pikachu Libre very clearly took Hawlucha's spot.
Assuming Hawlucha ever had one

My only concern is no greninja he'd be perfect for this

Can you link me your source for a "handheld" NX? Thanks!
Now this is crazy. They best not let Haw hang like that and over a c character who is in already.

This is starting to sound like a smash bros thread lol
Found a neat little behind the scenes/interview thing on Pokkén. Dunno if it's old, never seen it before. Here it is for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LguarorsL4o

To me it looks more like Gen 5 and 6 Pokemon will only be support tier. -_- So I disagree that Hawlucha ever had a chance...
