Without wanting to spoil the plot any further, I’ll stop there and add that the story isn’t an essential part of the game by any means, but it does help to make the solo campaign feel a bit more purposeful. As you progress through these battles, a mystery surrounding a strange, aggressive, seemingly-out-of-sorts Mewtwo unfolds, and at times you will encounter the legendary ‘mon yourself. The plot of the solo portion of the game sees you working your way through the Ferrum League – a competition hosting a series of battles to become the champion. It isn’t really an important fact but does clear things up for fans of the main series who demand answers as to why we can suddenly control Pokémon in this way. The game explains that by harvesting the power of Synergy Stones (sources of very strong energy) into Bluetooth-like headsets called ‘Battle ARs’, trainers are able to be in sync with their Pokémon. Unlike the core series, Pokkén does not work around an RPG system and has no turn-based action to speak of you fight in real-time. Pokkén is a fighting game where you take control of the Pokémon themselves, battling in circular arenas. ![]() Does it come close to my childhood dreams, though, and more importantly: is it worth buying?įor those who may have missed the Wii U version entirely, let me explain the game’s concept. Originally released in Japanese arcades and then for Wii U, the latest version, Pokkén Tournament DX, has arrived on Nintendo Switch with some exciting new content. Now, thanks to an unlikely collaboration between Nintendo and Tekken developer, Bandai Namco, we have Pokkén Tournament – possibly the closest we have come to those dreams so far. I’m just as much a fan of the core Pokémon games as the next trainer, but I always wanted to see Pokémon moving around like real creatures rather than sprites that wiggled slightly. You can check out the trailer after the jump.Whilst games such as the Nintendo 64’s Pokémon Stadium came pretty close, seven-year-old-me’s dream of battling Pokémon in a way that feels ‘real’ has never truly been realised. Nintendo has added the game to their E3 line-up of tournaments this year, so we'll be seeing four two-player teams duking it out on Wednesday, June 14th.īelow are some screenshots of Pokken Tournament DX to get you started. If you're hoping to see more of Pokken Tournament DX, you won't have to wait long. Players can also look forward to a new online ranked mode, 3v3 team battles, and friend-only group matches. The former four all come from the arcade version of the game, however, Decidueye is a newcomer and the first Pokemon from the Sun and Moon series to enter the fray. Players will be able to do battle via the Switch's local ad-hoc multiplayer as well as single-Jo圜on control.įive new pocket monsters are being added to the game: Darkrai, Scizor, Empoleon, Croagunk, and Decidueye.
