Yeah, but it's nerfed compared to Miguel's for no apparent reason - it can be blocked, does only 200 damage (most characters have around 540-600) and causes an instant Phase Shift (main mechanic in the game that switched it between an arena fighter and a 2d fighter basically) while having the same start-up
It's honestly pretty cool how most of these Tekken references translate so well into Pokémon. Like basing Scizor off of JACK/Alisa for example makes a ton of sense thematically, as does Blastoise with Kuma.
One could say it's "lazy" reusing assets from Tekken... However the fact they got really creative with how they implemented those assets, while staying true to the pokemon itself, is very commendable.
When I saw Blastoise with some of Heihachi's moves, I have just got reminded that the voice of Heihachi in Tekken 7 voiced Blastoise in the Pokemon anime in Japanese.
Guys, this game is still alive on Switch and you all can play this right now. Maybe a boost in sales from all the positive reception will send a signal for something to come in the future.
1:48 - The fact that the floating sword and quadruped mythical dog share animations/attacks with any of the Tekken cast is insane. What a cool find and great of you to show it off here. I also find it amusing that Blastoise is a combo of Armour King and Kuma... perhaps that is why Blastoise clicked so well with me in this game (though I'm a Chandelure main; Blastoise would be my 2nd pick).

As someone who’s played pokken for years since release and recently getting into tekken, I get excited and point out which Pokémon had which move when I see them while watching tekken tournaments. After trying out Hwoarang, I’m surprised Blaziken didn’t have his moves. Some of them would have been very helpful in the neutral
first, you are looking for either a fighting game or the hack and slash genre. Second, animatimg each poke would be pain, there are 950+ poke as we speak and if the h&s genre can't adapt 100 characters, how could they adapt 950?
@@obba40 i thought pokemon was a sidescrolling fighting game of sorts, until I actually played it for the first time. Back then, i did not know what an RPG was.
This game is definitely simpler than Tekken, but nothing like Ninja Storm. Ninja Storm has a single combo string that you can move up or down. This game is nowhere near _that_ bad.
Smash already has plenty of pure zoning characters, and Pokken had plenty of grapplers. Incineroar in Smash makes much more sense for being really the only grappling character in the game.
@@budgetcoinhunter I see where you are coming from and even warmed up to John Cena Roar quickly, but I think it misses how grappling is different in Smash to the point that everyone is a bit of a grappler - Luigi is the most extreme case that survived into Ultimate. Incineroar is definitely low mobility, unlike say Ganondorf and more going on with his grabs but it isn't like he has the best reward outside of Revenge.
I... actually want to play this now 😭😭 I just thought the “Pokken” name came from the fact that Bamco developed both games - I had no idea there were Tekken references in the moves too!
Back when pokken tournament was first revealed I thought it meant that it was an actual crossover beyond the gameplay-thought we were gonna see Heihachi fight a Machamp lol. I gotta replay this game sometime, it was a lot of fun
I knew the game existed, I even thought the title was oddly similar to Tekken. But I had no idea it was 1) an actual fighting game and 2) actual Tekken.😂😂😂 I’m buying this now, just to play it with my son. This is awesome!
It's funny when you see the inspiration for some of the characters' moves and you're like "I see why you picked that one" (e.g., Scizor and Jack-7 + Alisa)
I've never played Tekken as much as knowing the characters references in moves but playing Pokken recently in all honesty with how Empoleon acts intros and win/lose poses he gives me heavy Leo vibes from Guilty Gear. Like yeah he's based on an emperor penguin. Which Emperor = King/Ruler so I knew I had to main him but thought I play Lars in Tekken for fun I might try out Cladio
Maybe a secret marketing move to hint Pokken 2 since Street fighter 6 announcement pretty much signals the start of the next fighting games era. Then subsequently we would get the rest Kof/SC/Tekken/Mk maybe at the mid-to-late peak of ps5/Xbox console life cycle

The fact that Mewtwo's "Hmph" followed by Kazuya's "Pathetic" just makes that transition pure perfection. 👌
Blastoise having Heihachi's moves feels like a nod and a half to the fact that Blastoise in the show has been voiced by the same VA
Pikachu has Heihachi's moves. Blastoise has Kuma moves

kazuya with mewtwo definitely fits too
Blaziken as mainly Law brings it home for me personally.
Blastoise looks a little more clunkier and weird than the rest imo
Martial arts games , martial arts Pokémon

Well they did one with Dragon Ball Z characters so it's possible.
Facts
@@EternalStorm796 they did?
Heihachi and his pikachu aren’t taking any prisoners. Everybody’s getting an electric wind god fist!
I wanna see Hwoarang train a Hitmonlee, Eddy train a Hitmontop, and Steve Fox training a Hitmonchan. Perfection.
These Pokken videos of yours made me actually go back to play it and wow I just appreciate this game even more 🔥
Agreed!!!
Croagunk actually had Miguel's F3+4😂😂😂
Spanish Croagunk... That's actually pretty funny and I like that idea! I forgot his name so I said Ganryu instead!
Imagine that being the last thing you see before you die.
Remember when Croagunk uses his fist to fight Diagla's attack?

There's something poetic about Scizor having Jack's D-Bug.
Something about Pokémon doing cocky characters like Claudio and Bryan makes me laugh uncontrollably.
I really hope we get a sequel and not just a slightly updated port. Pheromosa, Incineroar, and Froslass would make great playable characters.

MAKE BEWEAR VS PHERAMOSA CANON IN POKKEN.

Or even better, a pokken TAG tournament
Pokkén Tag would actually be awesome. The closest thing we have to that is the team battles.
More Pokemon using more Tekken moves. Blastoise using Armour King's move made my day.
Made my month
Made my year
I'm still happy with just being two moves.
Hoping for pokken 2 with better marketing.

The bearspin looked better on Blastoise than on Kuma
For those who don't know, Pokken came from a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai Namco
I... actually want to play this now 😭😭
I just thought the “Pokken” name came from the fact that Bamco developed both games - I had no idea there were Tekken references in the moves too!
There's also the name of the region the game takes place from - Ferrum. As in "Iron". As in "Iron Fist" As in "Tekken".
Harada is the one directing Pokken, hence the Tekken name reference and the various stages like Dragon's Gate
Hell the original trailer music was a remix of jinpachi’s tekken 5 theme
Hunting hawk performed by a bird pokemon... Truly ELEGANT
Pokemon battles before: IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Pokemon battles now:
0:10 man they really said “hahahahahaha shut up!”

I’m surprised Aegislash doesn’t have Jin’s Savage Sword 😂
I want more Pokken games this is such a dope concept with a lot of potential for greatness
Combining my two favorite things. TEKKEN and pokemon. It fits so well together
Croagunk is SUCH a good choice for those moves.
i remember i loved using pika and Mewtwo in this bc they were like heihachi and kazuya but i didn't need the 1 frame timing to play them
Finally, I found the funny Miguel move. Time to lure the ignorant to get hit by it
“heheheheh” straight into rocking Blastoise’ 😂
schoolmate: can i copy your homeworks?
Yes, but change something.
something:
crogunk being miguel is something i didnt know i needed to see so badly
Not gonna lie, seeing a kazuya land those attacks and those sounds seem oddlu satisfying. And Rage Drive especially
Of course Scizor has acces to Jack's De'bug' 2:13
Since Tekken had so many guest characters. I guess it would've been funny to have added a Pokken character to the roster 🤣
Harada: Alright, we've finished development on Tekken 8
Pokkén fans: So we're next?
0:01 Ferrum Dojo (Pokkén Tournament/DX)
1:37 Dojo 1st Remix (Tekken 7 - Mishima Dojo)

I’m buying this now, just to play it with my son. This is awesome!
Alot of these actually fit really well has partner pokemon
If BanNam isn't making a Pokken 2, then we'll just mod it ourselves.
I am not surprised they gave Mewtwo Devi Jin's move.
mewtwo is more like kazuya, charizard is the one with more devil jin moves
“Hunting Hawk” on Decidueye 🤙
This is one of coolest videos Ive ever seen
We need a PokkenTourniment 2
Watch Gamefreak and Bandai announcing second version because of the random rise of fighting games this year.
@@dyvyby random... smash ended forever, other fighting game with good netcode arise!
@@valentdsThe game is practically dead. Its fans should be too.

also Blaziken midair recovering is similar D. Jin 0:45
Hunting hawk is used by a bird of prey. Chef's kiss
all that and no Hitmonchan=Steve Fox in the roster?
So Blastoise (my favorite Gen 1 Mega. Squirtle was my first Pokemon), is a mix of Armor(?) King And Kuma. 2 of my favorite characters. Hell yeah
I cannot believe I snoozed on this game.
I didn't know these pokemon had tekken movesets.
They finally gave Blastoise some elbows
"This is how i trick my kid to drink their medicine." But Tekken
What did you expected when the game is literally called POKKEN TOURNAMENT
1:07 if my brother would've played this, he might like Decidueye, as I remember that Hworang & Lei was his favorites.
We need a pokemon in Pokken that takes after Lee Chaolan more... i say that purely because I'm a Lee Chaolan main in Tekken
Pretty awesome! I hope we can a Pokken 2
This is quite possibly one of the most random crossovers I’ve ever seen.
Even now, I still think this game still has lots of potential.
La rana tiene un mal día.
I think it will be cool if Pokémon used open world gameplay like in Pokémon Arceus and then made the Pokémon battles like Poken tournament
Forget Marvel versus Capcom I want to see Tekken versus Pokemon
Oh man it's really nice thanks buff Gigas ❤️❤️
Can you a video with the Soul Calibur techniques used in Pokken?
It's funny when you see the inspiration for some of the characters' moves and you're like "I see why you picked that one" (e.g., Scizor and Jack-7 + Alisa)
So there's a chance we can get a guest char from Pokemon in T8 representing Beast char like Kuma/panda in the roster. 😆
My money is on Machamp or Lucario.
I truly believe that if Pokken came out on other consoles, it would have sold way better and we'd probably have a sequel by now.
even Bamco want to make sequel, but the decision is in ninty's hand.
Will only happen when pigs fly, I’m afraid.
2:46 bodybuilder pose names, the Jack-champ-7 flex lol.
I'd say Charizard's rocket punch is similar to Alisa's rocket punch. Both have armor.

the croagunk punch got me lol
I expected Blaziken to have a majority of Hwoarang's moves, but Decidueye having some also makes sense
I need Hitmontop with an Eddie Gordo set
That actually makes much sense.
And Hitmonchan with Steve Fox
Those pokken characters look really cool, I’m sure there isn’t any r34 of them
Hwoarang is known as Blood Talon and Decedeweye has the same moves as him, a beautiful coincidence... or maybe not? may have been on purpose
I really hope this game isn’t just dead there’s still so much potential here
It still has a good amount of players around, plus there are also tournaments still being ran with this game
I've seen loads of people talking about Pokken on twitter and now these vids. What's brought up the interest in this game again?
Maybe a secret marketing move to hint Pokken 2 since Street fighter 6 announcement pretty much signals the start of the next fighting games era. Then subsequently we would get the rest Kof/SC/Tekken/Mk maybe at the mid-to-late peak of ps5/Xbox console life cycle
