Review: Nintendo uses smash hit, it's super effective! - It's finally here. There's been a lot of talk about Pokken Tournament ever since it hit the arcades in Japan in summer of 2015. From trailers and available footage, the game looked like what is essentially a supercharged version of Tekken (l always thought the name of the game was a play on Tekken Tag Tournament). This time the player fights as Pokemons in an arcade style instead of the traditional turn based-approach that's been a mainstay of the video game series. Nintendo announced a console version would be released on the Wii U in 2016 and at last, it has arrived. Pokemaniacs who have been can now rejoice as they put their hands on a copy for the Wii U. Let me start by saying how incredibly gorgeous this game looks with it's stunning graphics. The visuals are magnificent for the Wii U. The environments are and attacks look splendid. The cartoony-style graphics work like a charm on the Wii U once more. The cut scenes and mega attacks look splendid. The controls are very fluid and easy to master. As is usual per fighting games, there are different combinations you can learn. Each Pokemon has it's own set of moves that makes it unique. That's why it's fun to play with different Pokemons because no two pocket-monsters have the same moveset. For instance Pikachu and Pikachu libre are much more different than you might think. Pokemons like Gengar, Machamp and Chandelure all have their quirks that make them a blast to control for different reasons. The gamepad works pretty good and has the added benefit of the screen but l feel Pokken Tournament is best experienced with a pro-controller or the game's arcade-style controller. I'm very partial to my pro-controller for a lot of games, but since Pokken Tournament is an arcade game, the exclusive controller is the simpler and brings the most fun. It's quite comfortable and comes with a super long cord. Please note that the controller won't work with other Wii U game (l tried). In Ferum league you try to earn the championship as you go around fighting in an open-world, trying level-up your squad as you do so. This story mode provides a few hours of solid entertainment as you beat trainers and reach higher ranks and unlock content. There are 16 total Pokemons to play with: Blaziken, Braixen, Chandelure, Charizard, Garchomp, Gardevoir, Gengar, Lucario, Machamp, Mewto, Pikachu, Pikachu Libre, Sceptile, Shadow Mewto, Suicune and Weavile. The Amiibo card included with the game unlocks Shadow Mewto. Then you have 30 "assist" Pokemon who can be used at any point during combat as aides to help you. Interestingly, the assist Pokemons come in groups of two. They are: Snivy and Lapras, Emolga and Fennekin, Frogadier and Evee, Jirachi and Whimsicott Mismagius and Ninetales, Farfetch'd and Electrode, Togekiss and Rotom, Dragonite and Victini, Croagunk and Silveon, Parichisu and Magikarp, Cubone and Diglett, Magneton and Quagsire, Espeon, Yveltial and Latios, Rashiram and Cressilia. I feel Nintendo missed an opportunity to make Pokken Tournament one of it's best titles in a long time. It's a great game, make no mistake, but a few additions would have elevated it and cemented it's status among gamers. Firstly, multiplayer only supports two players at a time which is disappointing for those of us hoping for a similar experience to Super Smash Bros. A four player all-out Poke-fest war would have been a dream. I understand that it would have been difficult, but l don't think it would have been impossible. Multiplayer mode also lowers the screen rate from 60 frames-per-second to 30 fps, a significant drop when it comes to visuals. Note that it also necessitates one player using the Wii U's gamepad. As it stands, multiplayer is tons of fun and will no doubt offer countless hours of one-on-one fighting. It's still hard for me to shake off the feeling that four-player multiplayer would have brought this game to a whole new level. The comparisons to Tekken ring true but Pokken Tournament takes further steps. It takes a great fighting game and concept and expands on it. It has quickly become one of my favourite Wii U and Pokemon game. If you own a Wii U and love Pokemon or fighting games, l highly recommend you give it a try. Other than multiplayer being only two player, the game hits the spot in every possible way. I was pleasantly blown away! 5/5 stars.
Review: One of the Wii U's Best Games - Nintendo, Namco, Bandai... what's not to like! Pokken Tournament for the Wii U is truely the first of its kind. They were able to combine pokemon and tekken along with a brilliant combination of Duel Phase (standard fighting games) and Field Phase (3D move around, projectile based) fighting. The Roster has 16 characters in it. Some classics like Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, and a few more interesting/intuitive fighters like Suicune and Chandelure. While this group of fighters isn't large in number, it makes up for it with the variety that has obviously been sought after. Each fighter feels totally different and plays to its own style. While they are grouped into 4 types: Standard, Speed, Power, and Techniquel, I find each fighter to play and handle completely different. (Even Mewtwo and Shadow Mewtwo, and Pikachu and Pikachu Libre play so much differently) The game is composed of best of 3 matches were you will be constantly shifting from Duel Phase to Field Phase. This gives the game a nice flow to it and allows for strategy as you can determine when the shifting happens by throwing your opponent or hitting them with a powerful attack. The "Attack Triangle" consists of Normal attacks, Counter attacks, and Throws. Normals beat Throws, Counters beat Normals, and Throws beat Counters. I found this triangle to be pretty consistant and easy to determine what was going on even if you don't know ever move your opponent is doing. There are some exceptions to this with Piercing attacks that can break counters which I found to be frustrating at times... but all fighting games require a knowledge of each character to become competitive and Pokken Tournament is no different. Luckily you can look up every move and combo just by hitting start and going to the move list. There's tons of aesthetic items to win for your avatar as you battle through single player battles, story-like-mode tournaments, and online battles. I found the story of Shadow Mewtwo to be pretty interesting and better than most fighting games out there. Online mode is tough and competetive so make sure you're practiced up and ready for people doing whatever it takes to win (Even if that means spammy y attacks all game haha) Pokken Tournament has a little for everyone. My wife and I both play it, she more the storymode, me more online competetive and we both have a lot of fun. It's easy enough to pick up and will take long enough to master. They've done something great here with this game, and I can't wait to see if it gets enough success to bring in some DLC and even a sequel. We shall see What are you waiting for? Grab a copy today! Perhaps I'll see you online ;)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know why they are calling it pokken tournament and not pokemon tournament?**
A: Because the name is a pun on "Tekken". Pokemon + Tekken= Pokken.Also, I fancy "Pokemon Tournament" to be both ambiguous and boring. No doubt the makers of the game felt samely.

**Q: What are the controller options available other than the game pad and the special controller?**
A: Pokkén Tournament-Compatible Controllers:- Wii U GamePad- Wii U Pro Controller- Classic Controller Pro(A Wii Remote Controller or Wii Remote Controller Plus is required to use this controller.)- Pokkén Tournament Pro Pad

**Q: does it work with an american wii u?**
A: Yes, this is the North American version of the game.  It has Japanese writing on the cover art just for show and is called Pokken as a combination of Pokemon and Tekken (the fighting game series).

**Q: how many characters in the game**
A: There are a total of 16 characters (at release). There are two Pikachus and two Mewtwos, which might seem a bit "lazy", but each of them still has a different playstyle and attacks, so you can still count it as 16.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***S on August 12, 2017*

A lot of content! My 6 year old daughter is in love with this game - there's quite a bit of text, that she doesn't actually read ... she just skips through it, however she has not had any issues because the game as an innovative voice guidance system which coaches the player as they are in the match and in between the match. The graphics are awesome and the fight system is very easy to pick up. There's a lot of content in this game because you unlock more pokemon to battle with and take into tounaments/leagues as you play and earn experience/etc. Great game for kids and pokemon lovers.
