@@GardevoirBoy In this case, he should have said "it" for Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo and Suicune too, since they are asexual. Gardevoir is communly seen as a female Pokemon, reinforced by Gallade, so no problem with that honestly.
@@GardevoirBoy Other Pokemon are males while having a feminine appearance such as Primarina for example so I don't think this is the major reason why Gallade exists. Of course you're free to keep the genre you want for your Pokemon, but it's normal to call Gardevoir "she" because, well, it has feminine traits and even a feminine voice in Pokken.
@@kyurei4478 Gallade existed just because fans wanted a male version of Gardevoir. By the way, I didn't like how Zoisite and Fish-Eye were girls in the original English dub of Sailor Moon just because America had to deal with cyncial people at the time and social hypocrisy was to blame for the heavy censorship in cartoons that hit the United States just becuase we weren't experienced with anime at the time.
@@GardevoirBoy I've never found a proof of that so I can't confirm this is actually the case and other pokemon with a feminine appearance can be male too. Ok I understand that censorship was bad but in this case it has nothing to do with censorship. It's just a logic conclusion of the genre based on physical traits because people know male Gardevoir exist.
@@Apronika Nah its not about that, even in the fighting game community it flopped really hard. Its just not that good of a game. Its pretty fun and a cool semi casual game but it doesnt fit the competitive niche that the fighting game community embraces.
I’d say it does have a lot of competitive elements and does have a competitive niche - for example, did you know the game has Tekken’s high-mid-low attack properties and moves can interact around them? Rather, I think the lack of marketing and field phase and the phase shift mechanics being unlike any other fighting game made it a bit of a harder sell.
@@CoroUsamiCh My friends and I saw shades of Tekken in this game from the first session. High and low stances is more high level and not something commonly seen in casual play. I agree that the dual phase mechanic & average marketing did hurt the game. Lastly, so many cool Pokemon can be added from Lycanroc, Urshifuu and Aggron would make great additions
It just doesn't have enough pokemon, not counting assist. Plus why even have two pikachus? That's why I didn't buy it even though I was so hyped for it. There's only 6 pokemon I really like from the list and I knew I would get bored playing only 6 of them.
Its a shame this game was more or less abandoned by lack of marketing, especially the DX version. I had a ton of fun playing the few times I got a chance to.
Well the issue is that Bandai made it,Game Freak is not a first party developer for Nintendo they just exclusively publish in their platforms, and Nintendo is the publisher. Its probably more of a Game freak and Bandai issue.People just forget that Nintendo doesn;t own the Pokemon franchise. That's why when Nintendo stocks skyrocket because of Pokemon GO. Nintendo hadf toi make a public announcement to inforn the stock buyers
@@BaltazarSMZ Correct, however generally it's the Publisher's job to take care of things like marketing. I doubt it's anything like conflicting studio interests and moreso just Nintendo prioritizing other, first party titles.
its kinda sad, this game had loads of potential but it died out wayyy too soon. its a really great game and I sure as hell got a rise out of laddering with sceptile pulling a series of strings. but I feel they should've added at least 7 more mons, like Mawile, Bisharp, etc. something to keep the game and the meta fresh.
Not to mention more interesting modes tbh. Don't get me wrong I do like this game but like the game does need something more to draw in more players period (which thus possibly adds more competitive players to the game, having it grow)
Also they should change the narrator, the lame 2D pokemon trainer in menus and improve so much the menus graphics or design. The gameplay looked really good but the menus look like they are from a mobile game
Just gonna add this to the list: hitmontop (seems a lot of Pokémon in this game have spin attacks already but you know how swaggy some hitmontop combos could be)
I’ve been getting into pokken only recently, because I wasn’t aware of it since Nintendo didn’t market it to Canada, so this overview has been extremely useful to me
Pokkén needs another game, there could be a possibility, Pokémon Snap came back so why not Pokkén. But I know it won’t happen now if it did because Bandai Namco is working on other games (Including Pokémon Snap) right now. Edit: Also they’re still holding tournaments, the game still gets tons of attention, there are also many Pokémon that would fit right into the game. A Pokémon I’ve wanted in the game, even though it’s extremely unlikely is Lopunny. Some might say well Lopunny is an odd Pokémon to add in, but Braixen, Suicune, Croagunk and Chandelure are in the game which are also very odd. Lopunny could use tons of fighting type attacks and her mega would fit in really well, she could use strong kicking attacks to knock her opponents down, she’d be more of a close range Pokémon.
@@cheesebslls6203 Yeah, I mostly picture it as a whiff punisher / bait & punish, since that's basically how it fights according to official lore. There's its signature Obstruct, which could act as a counter that also debuffs the opponent, Taunt could maybe prevent opponents from using projectiles (this move would be short ranged for balancing) and other moves like Fury Swipes, Headbutt, and Double-Edge could be worked in as traditional attacks
I'm getting to this pretty late, but you did an amazing job with this, fantastic work. As a Weavile player though I felt you only barely touched on some important stuff. For example, his extreme midair mobility tools: The icicle projectiles are able to hit at many wierd angles, but they also launch weavile in the opposite direction, meaning he can switch directions and angles midair to get over or outlast many moves or cross the oppoenent up, especially when combined with the fact he has a unique fastfall mechanic. You also sort of touched on this by saying he's "versatile", but Weavile excells at playing a hit and run annoying game. He's got the frame data and tools to apply pressure up close and play rushdown, and then the icicle moves (especially to go over the other players heads to get out of the corner and side switch) to zone and play keepaway, and the walk speed and midair mobility tools to rapidly switch between either playstyle as needed. All of this also combines to make him an AMAZING character for timer-wins: He can get in, do damage, then endlessly run away with his movement speed and using icicle crashes to get out of the corner or hang in midair to waste time (something taunt is also very good at, as a frame one counter that is invincible one triggered and you can hold and delay it during the portion for an extended period and cancel that into block) with little chance of catching him if they play smart in many matchups.
Yo, shoutouts to using Neos City (Night) theme for Gardevoir. I think they fit so well, and they're both my favorites. Also, this video was amazing, and I'll 100% send it to people starting out who are looking for a character to use.
For anyone that wants a quick list of each character's difficulty to play, here it is: *Basic:* Blaziken Empoleon Lucario Machamp Pikachu Pikachu Libre Suicune *Intermediate:* Blastoise Chandelure Charizard Decidueye Garchomp Gardevoir Mewtwo Shadow Mewtwo Weavile *Hard:* Aegislash Braixen Croagunk Darkrai Gengar Sceptile Scizor
Super amazing video! Especially for those just trying to get into the game for the first time, I appreciate all the hard work that was put into this and I will definitely be sharing this video wherever whenever someone new wants to learn about who to pick in the game !
I'm playing DX after finishing with the Wii U version. The new features added are great such as the mission panels. Everything is unlocked from the start just like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I feel like it's worth a double dip
I just got the game since there's a free trial for switch online members (one of the few good things about it) and I really enjoyed it. I hope this video and your channel gets more momentum, RUclips should start rewarding high effort content more often.
Holy shit i naturally was drawn to Croagunk, and after watching the overview just now I need to admit i am also a loyal Yoshimitsu main in Tekken and Soul Calibur.
I just have one question: WHY THE HELL WERE INCINEROAR AND GRENINJA NEVER ADDED TO POKKEN!???!?!!?!?!? Seriously, One's a Wrestler, the other's a Ninja. Sigh.
This is such a fun fighting game in my opinion. If only this game got more love. Not much to do in single player, and online seems dead these days. I've been a Braixen main since the Wii U and I agree that she's hard to pick up at first, but I've definitely become a pro with her! However, once I started using Suicune I ended up liking that fighter more and has become my new main.
I always wanted to play as a pokemon but this game looks like your tipical dbz game, press A A A A A B, there you got a combo, now try A A B A A B, there you got another, y preffer playing as pokemons in smash, you can do so many creative and crazy stuff
@@franciscovaldes4107 But just like Smash, this game is easy to pick up but hard to master. However, Smash isn't considered just a fighting game. Yeah the input commands in Pokken isn't as complex as Street Fighter but just any other fighting game there are ways to do "creative" and "crazy" stuff.
@@franciscovaldes4107 Pokken tournament is actually pretty complex though. Sure moves may make a combo against a cpu but people online may now how to counter it. Also pokken is pretty much a standard fighting game Nintendo-ified. It has simple inputs when compared to other fighting games but is hard to master. It plays nothing like dragon ball budoken and etc, not that those are bad games or anything. Mashing buttons in pokken is an easy way to get defeated, even when facing off against some of the harder cpus. I'd advise trying it out before judging it based on the way it looks. If you still don't like it then alright.
Yeah online isn't doing too good. I'm trying to main aegislash but I'm not that good at him. They should give this game another chance tbh. A new story mode, add a few more characters and supports and tweak some of the mistakes the original made. Also by a new story mode I mean one that continues off of the first game's. I'm not expecting anything too spectacular but it would be cool. Also this is just an idea but I think it would be cool if they added characters like primape, snorlax or beedrill. Also heracross is a must. The free trial they did gives me a bit of hope that they're planning on doing something with pokken.
@@bombs2848 in order to try it to see if i like it i would have to pay 80 dolars (game price in chile) because nintendo. Of course i need to judge it by the looks of it, or i would end up broke
I bought Pokken this Black Friday, and I'm very happy to find this video. I've been playing Tekken for 2 years, and it's great to see guides inspired by That Blasted Salami for other games. Right now Scizor interests me the most, but I'm always open to more characters! Thanks for your hard work!
This game is extremely underrated in my opinion. Only found out about it a couple weeks ago and it’s been out since 2017... I picked it up yesterday and I’m ready to master this game 👊🏼
ThatBlastedSalami's overview of all the characters in Tekken 7 is so good, that I want more fighting games to do that for the cast. It's really nice to know a general look at every character for starters
This is an amazingly well made video! After seeing this and some of the championships (thankSwalot I think), I'm kinda sad this game doesn't get as much attention. I want to get in and am only average at smash, any suggestions? (also in before this goes viral)
Pokken is quite an easy game to pick up, while still having a high skill ceiling, so I'd say just dive in without any worry! There's lot's of good video content around that covers the basics, and if you ever have more specific questions, the community Discord is active all the time!
Watching this video mostly convinved me to pick up the game I was planning on maining mewtwo and using shadow mewtwo as a secondary, but those got flipped once i got my hands on shafow mewtwo Right now im actually trying out sceptile, there's a lot of complexities with them you have to get used to but doing so feels rewarding over time One thing i will say about the video itself though, thanks for not bringing up tier lists at all and giving every character a good look, i really dont like tier lists myself, as it reinforces a mindset where, if i win with a character considered meta, did i win, or did my character win for me Hopefully this video goes on to get other people to try the game too
everything pokemon related these days looks friggin gorgeous except for the mainline games, this is a sad timeline we live in, I wish this game was more popular so we'd get more of this instead of the sword and shield standarts
Small thing, but I love this so much. The Lucario section basically being Mega Lucario's theme. The first time you fight Mega Lucario in Pokemon X/Y when you rematch Korrina. Something small but really fitting, I really appreciate it.
This is literally the Pokémon anime if it was a game and I absolutely freaking love it, if they really made this a big thing with like tons of Pokémon then that would be sick
Saw this on the Pokken Tournament subreddit. Great job with this character overview. I'm curious if Pokken is still active; I've been playing Smash, but want to branch out into other fighting games. This and Skullgirls (now that it's on Switch) might be good choices, depending on how active they are.
It still is! You can still get people on random ranked matchmaking within 1-3 minutes, and there’s an active community discord! Last month’s actually been some of the most active the community’s been, with tons of grassroots and official online tournaments. The main hub of activity is definitely the official discord, though!
This is how Sword and Shield sould look like. I stopped playing because I knew no people playing or helping me with it. But everytime I see fights I'll think over playing it again. Pokemon I enjoyed were Sceptile and Pikachu Libre
Bro, I also want SwSh to look better but this level is technically impossible for a main game, the animations per attack are important, but when it comes to visuals and animation quality is just impossible die to the amount of Pokemon available, maybe if there was a gen focused only on the new Pokemon without even programing the whole Pokedex it could happen, but as we know that is impossible due to development times.
I get the same vibes, I always want to play Pokkén but I prefer not to since I know the game probably won’t get any recognition anymore. I hope it gets another game though, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
I stop playing cause the game is dead when I do rarely find a game on Discord people only play for 1 or 2 fights then the other half is fighting people that played this game since launch even people that go to tournaments sweating their ass off on someone that's just learning the game. So I dropped it found a total of 2 people new to the game. 1 Of the best design games tho
I'm so proud of myself bought a copy of it, and also returned to play it again. Such an awesome game, and it *NEEDS* more Pokémon like Inceniroar and Greninja for example. Also video is just perfect for both beginners and veterans. Great vid. Or give us Pokkén Tournament 2 with lots of DLC, idc. PS: You earned my sub, man.
Just got the game. Literally insane that I'm just finding out about it. It's a treasure. I wish it had more pokemon in it though but still a great selection 👌

Props for listing the timestamps! Some things I want to suggest: Gengar is also Gengar in Japanese, and Sceptile is Jukain. Blaziken’s Japanese name romanized is Basha-mo, but this is probably nitpicking. Sorry!
I honestly really hope they make a sequel to Pokenn, with a new roster and some additional features to freshen it up. Very underrated! (Oh yeah, and my main is Sceptile mainly because I really like Sceptile outside of this game lol)
Everybody Stop complaing about how many character we got We got 3 unique characters (yeah 2 were dlc but still) And 5 from the arcade version who weren’t even in the wii u version

I just have one question: WHY THE HELL WERE INCINEROAR AND GRENINJA NEVER ADDED TO POKKEN!???!?!!?!?!? Seriously, One's a Wrestler, the other's a Ninja. Sigh.
Because they're busy in smash bros.
And Hitmonchan
Probably could've been DLC if Pokken caught on more
@@sgtslime5560 and Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Mewtwo aren't? Especially Pikachu, that character is lowkey busted in Smash 😂
Skeptile is already the ninja type of character. In regards to the wrestle part, we do have pikachu libre. But that doesn’t seem to fit pikachu.
I've picked this up today (Cause it's free) and I'm loving it! What's a good character to start with in your opinion?
If you’re really not sure who you’d like to pick up, you can’t go wrong with Lucario as a first character!
Alright, I'll give him a shot!
I've tried them all and chandelure is my main.... Is it bad that I've been doing very good with chandelure up close XD
is it really free to have?
@@asmasaib308 no but you can get a free trial rn
Chandelure was actually my main when I first got this game and chandelure, who was my already my favorite Pokémon looked even better in my eyes.
I love breaking people’s guard with it lol.
I'm a newer player, and this video was super helpful in understanding more about the game. Thank you.
This video is fantastically made. One of the definitive videos to watch for people getting into the game. Thank you for this gem, king.
I was curious about this game. Thank you for the overview I might pick it up later.
This is such a fun fighting game in my opinion. If only this game got more love. Not much to do in single player, and online seems dead these days. I've been a Braixen main since the Wii U and I agree that she's hard to pick up at first, but I've definitely become a pro with her! However, once I started using Suicune I ended up liking that fighter more and has become my new main.
I always wanted to play as a pokemon but this game looks like your tipical dbz game, press A A A A A B, there you got a combo, now try A A B A A B, there you got another, y preffer playing as pokemons in smash, you can do so many creative and crazy stuff
@@franciscovaldes4107 But just like Smash, this game is easy to pick up but hard to master. However, Smash isn't considered just a fighting game. Yeah the input commands in Pokken isn't as complex as Street Fighter but just any other fighting game there are ways to do "creative" and "crazy" stuff.
@@franciscovaldes4107 Pokken tournament is actually pretty complex though. Sure moves may make a combo against a cpu but people online may now how to counter it. Also pokken is pretty much a standard fighting game Nintendo-ified. It has simple inputs when compared to other fighting games but is hard to master. It plays nothing like dragon ball budoken and etc, not that those are bad games or anything. Mashing buttons in pokken is an easy way to get defeated, even when facing off against some of the harder cpus. I'd advise trying it out before judging it based on the way it looks. If you still don't like it then alright.
Yeah online isn't doing too good. I'm trying to main aegislash but I'm not that good at him. They should give this game another chance tbh. A new story mode, add a few more characters and supports and tweak some of the mistakes the original made. Also by a new story mode I mean one that continues off of the first game's. I'm not expecting anything too spectacular but it would be cool. Also this is just an idea but I think it would be cool if they added characters like primape, snorlax or beedrill. Also heracross is a must. The free trial they did gives me a bit of hope that they're planning on doing something with pokken.
@@bombs2848 in order to try it to see if i like it i would have to pay 80 dolars (game price in chile) because nintendo. Of course i need to judge it by the looks of it, or i would end up broke
God I wish this game was super popular. It looks so fun.
Phenomenal video, especially for a channel at your size. No shade. I’m just very impressed!
This video just makes me want a sequel to this game someday, and reminds me of how much I love Chandelure.
Great music choices for each Pokémon too
I bought Pokken this Black Friday, and I'm very happy to find this video. I've been playing Tekken for 2 years, and it's great to see guides inspired by That Blasted Salami for other games. Right now Scizor interests me the most, but I'm always open to more characters! Thanks for your hard work!
This game is extremely underrated in my opinion. Only found out about it a couple weeks ago and it’s been out since 2017... I picked it up yesterday and I’m ready to master this game 👊🏼
This game was what kids used to imagine being the pokemon in an anime pokemon battle
ThatBlastedSalami's overview of all the characters in Tekken 7 is so good, that I want more fighting games to do that for the cast. It's really nice to know a general look at every character for starters
This is an amazingly well made video! After seeing this and some of the championships (thankSwalot I think), I'm kinda sad this game doesn't get as much attention.
I want to get in and am only average at smash, any suggestions?
(also in before this goes viral)
Pokken is quite an easy game to pick up, while still having a high skill ceiling, so I'd say just dive in without any worry! There's lot's of good video content around that covers the basics, and if you ever have more specific questions, the community Discord is active all the time!
Watching this video mostly convinved me to pick up the game
I was planning on maining mewtwo and using shadow mewtwo as a secondary, but those got flipped once i got my hands on shafow mewtwo
Right now im actually trying out sceptile, there's a lot of complexities with them you have to get used to but doing so feels rewarding over time
One thing i will say about the video itself though, thanks for not bringing up tier lists at all and giving every character a good look, i really dont like tier lists myself, as it reinforces a mindset where, if i win with a character considered meta, did i win, or did my character win for me
Hopefully this video goes on to get other people to try the game too
I just got my friends to buy the game and the first thing I sent for them to start is this, fantastic work
Fantastic video, thanks so much for making this! I can tell you really know what you're talking about
Man a few months ago I was looking for a video exactly like this one as I tried to pick up the game again, thank you for providing
Makes me happy I labbed and learned sceptile’s combo strings early on. I didn’t know this was a hard character. One of my favorites.
"Lucario is the poster boy"
Pikachu: am I a joke to you?
Me: yes
I recently picked up this game, and Braixen, Weavile and Mewtwo quickly became my favorites. I really wish this game was more popular...
Thank you for getting Pikachu-Libre's gender correct, some people won't notice that she's female
What an amazing video. I'll use this video as my go-to for Pokken explanations
imagine if main series games had models of this quality
But still had Sword/Shield's animations lol
Pretty sure us all pokemon fans have dreamed of this fighting type style be implemented in a pokemon mainline game. Oh my gosh
I finished playing Pokken Tournament not too long ago. I'm nearly done with Pokken Tournament DX. I love the additions put into the switch version :)
When you realize how much better the graphics are than sword and shield.
everything pokemon related these days looks friggin gorgeous except for the mainline games, this is a sad timeline we live in, I wish this game was more popular so we'd get more of this instead of the sword and shield standarts
Small thing, but I love this so much. The Lucario section basically being Mega Lucario's theme. The first time you fight Mega Lucario in Pokemon X/Y when you rematch Korrina. Something small but really fitting, I really appreciate it.
This is literally the Pokémon anime if it was a game and I absolutely freaking love it, if they really made this a big thing with like tons of Pokémon then that would be sick
See the issue with adding a lot of pokemon to a game like this is balance. Balancing fighting game characters isn't easy.
I love how Pokémon like Braixen and Croagunk made it in even though they aren’t even fully leveled.
Would have preferred serious approach on Toxicroak
This sounds like I was watching a Nintendo Direct broadcast 😁
Weavile is by far my favourite Pokémon to play in this game! It's combos look so sick too !
Saw this on the Pokken Tournament subreddit. Great job with this character overview.
I'm curious if Pokken is still active; I've been playing Smash, but want to branch out into other fighting games. This and Skullgirls (now that it's on Switch) might be good choices, depending on how active they are.
It still is! You can still get people on random ranked matchmaking within 1-3 minutes, and there’s an active community discord! Last month’s actually been some of the most active the community’s been, with tons of grassroots and official online tournaments. The main hub of activity is definitely the official discord, though!
@@CoroUsamiCh Interesting. I havent went online before; I'll have to do that sometime.
That was a great overview of each character. Thank you
Side note Weavile is a MASSIVE mixup character, being able to cancel many many of his moves
You explained very well buddy, keep it up 👍🏻
Is “difficulty” for learning or fighting against?
Difficulty is in terms of picking up the character!
Learn lol
Yes
Thanks for the explanations, it was very informative!
God I hope Pokken gets a sequel, because damn it, this game is fun and I still love it to this very day.
This is how Sword and Shield sould look like.
I stopped playing because I knew no people playing or helping me with it. But everytime I see fights I'll think over playing it again.
Pokemon I enjoyed were Sceptile and Pikachu Libre
Search the discord link from reddit and you'll find matches and people to have fun with
Bro, I also want SwSh to look better but this level is technically impossible for a main game, the animations per attack are important, but when it comes to visuals and animation quality is just impossible die to the amount of Pokemon available, maybe if there was a gen focused only on the new Pokemon without even programing the whole Pokedex it could happen, but as we know that is impossible due to development times.
@The True Legendary Villain J www.reddit.com/r/PokkenGame/
Btw for any game you just write the name of the game + reddit and you find it
I get the same vibes, I always want to play Pokkén but I prefer not to since I know the game probably won’t get any recognition anymore. I hope it gets another game though, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
I stop playing cause the game is dead when I do rarely find a game on Discord people only play for 1 or 2 fights then the other half is fighting people that played this game since launch even people that go to tournaments sweating their ass off on someone that's just learning the game. So I dropped it found a total of 2 people new to the game. 1 Of the best design games tho
I'm so proud of myself bought a copy of it, and also returned to play it again. Such an awesome game, and it *NEEDS* more Pokémon like Inceniroar and Greninja for example. Also video is just perfect for both beginners and veterans. Great vid.
Or give us Pokkén Tournament 2 with lots of DLC, idc.
PS: You earned my sub, man.
Very well composed video. You got a sub, my friend.
Nice video, actually makes me want to play the game, glad this was on my recommended. 😁👍👍
Just got the game. Literally insane that I'm just finding out about it. It's a treasure. I wish it had more pokemon in it though but still a great selection 👌
Nice Overview. Blasted Salami would be proud.
Thank you for making this so much! just bought this yesterday
Good to finally see a video like this for Pokkén.
Awsome video I love the editing style
9:18 Man went Shadow Clone Jutsu on his brother...
Thinking about picking this joint up, scizor looks like my type of play style
Pokken community:
Coronation: HEY WAKE UP
I really appreciate that you made this video. I am no fan of Pokken, but it deserved more support from the devs and the community.
I love how blastoise is called a tank, when he is based off of a turtle, a slow moving animal, and a tank
I'm definitely sharing this video with my Discord servers
I'm glad pokken never tried to implement type advantages:)

Props for listing the timestamps!
Some things I want to suggest:
Gengar is also Gengar in Japanese, and Sceptile is Jukain. Blaziken’s Japanese name romanized is Basha-mo, but this is probably nitpicking. Sorry!
@@HowDoYouPronounceGIF well i picked the Japanese names from Bulbapedia
@@lamiamekni2802 doesn’t mean much to a Japanese like myself though
@@HowDoYouPronounceGIF ok i'm sorry
@@HowDoYouPronounceGIF ok i'm sorry
Really want to see Sableye, Zangoose, Infernape, and Claydol to be added in.
Why the HELL am I just finding out about this game now?! This looks AWESOME!
Blame shitty advertising
Love playing Decidueye, Blastoise, Scizor, and Shadow Mewtwo in this game.
Great video, keep up the good work!
I honestly really hope they make a sequel to Pokenn, with a new roster and some additional features to freshen it up. Very underrated! (Oh yeah, and my main is Sceptile mainly because I really like Sceptile outside of this game lol)
the Blasted Salami would be very proud of this video.....i hope he sees it
I really wanna get better at this game. The sound track, visuals, and gameplay are some of my personal favorites I’ve seen in a game.
Just got this game today and I love it. Trying to main garchomp. If I had to pick a Pokémon to add it would be Zangoose and Delibird
The mons in this looks amazing. The textures are top tier.
You can't NOT admit that all of these super moves would f***ing HURT if you were on the receiving end.
Everybody
Stop complaing about how many character we got
We got 3 unique characters (yeah 2 were dlc but still)
And 5 from the arcade version who weren’t even in the wii u version
Considering ordering this for my little brother this Christmas
All music themes fit so well to each Pokémon !
The fact that Greninja isn't in this game is almost criminal.
Thanks for the details it helps me getting into the game
I love this format for character overviews
Good guide. Kind missed on Blaziken's burst, with it's lower health cost for enhanced moves, as well as the speed boost if L+R connects.
