Just announced: Pokkén Tournament, a Pokémon fighting game from Bandai Namco. It's coming "first" to arcades in Japan; no announcement for what it'll be coming to after that. Here's the English language trailer:
Man, seems like it's been a while since they filed the copyright for the title of that game... but it has only been three months.
Not a big fan of Tekken either.
Ugh. A Pokemon total conversion of Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Soul Caliber, or Dead or Alive would've been preferable to me. I'm not sure why, but even though I've enjoyed those four franchises to varying degrees, I've simply never taken a liking to Tekken even though I've certainly tried.
So yeah, I'm about as casual a Pokemon player as it gets, I'll play it a while and then put it down for a few weeks, and so on. I finally acquired the 8th gym badge in X this weekend, might actually beat the game in the near future. Then I need to get back to the old games and start consolidating my old pokemons up to Black 2 (or White 2, I forget which one I own) so I can transfer them up to X. Would be nice to finally get my full collection into one game and see how close I actually am to completing the pokedex.
Here's a bit more information about Pokkén Tournament. The pull quote, for me at least, is this:
According to Harada, the game doesn’t use Tekken’s engine, and is something completely new. It won’t focus as much on the fighting game genre’s technical aspects, and will be mainly about the action.
So it's not a Tekken game, and it's not aimed at the fighting game crowd. I'll be curious to see how it turns out.

Well, that certainly dispels my greatest concern. I'll be keeping an eye on this one with interest!
Ok. So, let's talk a little bit about hitboxes.
Machamp and... blue fox thingie are about the same size. Fine and dandy.
I, however, want to punch pikachu in the face. This is a pokemon game, he'll be in there somewhere.
Remember fighting against Gon in the PS version of Tekken 3?
I have no interest in doing that. Hold crouch all fight wasn't a lot of fun.
I don't know, there's a long way to go on the game. I'd just like to register my skepticism of this really weird thing.
Also squirtle or gtfo.
Is this the place to talk about Pokemon Shuffle and/or Pokemon Rumble World?
I guess they've been mentioned in the 3DS thread, but this seems more appropriate.
I think this is a great place to talk about them. I just started Shuffle tonight. Way more fun than I expected for f2p pokemon.

Yeah, my daughter and I have played a bunch of shuffle on our 3DS's. Good fun and she loves catching the rare ones.
I bought a starter Pokemon deck. Wanted to try something new and since you can register packs online it seems like a pretty cool deal.
Don't think this'll be my new thing, but it's nice to have the cards in hand. Always prefer that over digital.
Pokemon TCG didn't turn out to be my thing but I still buy packs on occasion.
So mobile pokemon.
There will be a new Pokemon for the 3DS. There's entirely too large of an install base in Japan to not do so.
My wife is hoping it's going to include an official release date for Pokemon Go!

This so much.
I charged up my 3DS just to buy Pokemon Blue and start playing it.
My wife got Yellow. Our roommate bought Red.
I'm shocked how much I'm enjoying Yellow. It's also shocking how much of its original formula is very much alive in the latest games.
I'm going to have to charge my 3DS up to get the games. I did not realize they were being released.
I got the 20th aniversery Pokemon 3DS as my first DS. I love it so much. I then took the jump and got Pokemon Y as well and am loving that. I started a play through of Red with charmander which I never do and got Pikachu first try. I then went through on Y and did the same thing with getting Pikachu. I am up for trading if anybody wants too.
Sorry to wake you thread, but I just wanted to mention that Gamestop is currently giving out serial codes for an Arceus. I believe it's US only.
I grabbed one yesterday. There's a Gamestop on my way home from work, so if someone really wishes they could get one, but doesn't live near a Gamestop, let me know. They told me I can pick up one per day, so...
Late to the party, but I just got a copy of Pokemon X and would love to trade with some folks if anyone's still playing. My NNID is in my sig, feel free to add me. Looks like we need to be playing at the same time in order to connect? But I can use Global Trade Station to make general trade requests?
Tried to hold out for Sun/Moon but I couldn't do it. I've been toying with the idea of getting this ever since Pokemon Go came out and didn't quite scratch the itch.

I'm still playing around on Gen 6. Currently Alpha Sapphire, but I'm pretty sure we can still trade across. I have Y, but I can't remember where I was in it. Either way I'll add you when I get home from work. Let me know if there's something you're looking for. Also, if you missed Manaphy from the July mystery gift, I got one on both Y and Sapphire, so I've got an extra.

Awesome! Look forward to it. And yes, I missed the July gift, and would love to have one.
Today is the last day to get the code for Arceus at your local video game store. Apparently the codes are good until October, though. Just be sure you get it soon. I'll also add you as a friend tonight, too.
