Active Pokkén Tournament Leaks!

[Matt_192]

During the Monthly Famitsu feat. stream, many more leaks have been given about the upcoming Pokemon fighting game. As usual, thanks to serebii for this information.

• Suicune and Gardevoir have been confirmed as fighters.
• Pikachu has also been confirmed as a fighter.
• Rather than using a fighting stick, this game uses a controller with a standard D-Pad and BAYX button configuration.
  
• You can use support Pokemon to assist you during the fights.
• The map is in full 3D so you can ignore and choose fights at will (probably open world). When you go near a Pokemon, the map will tighten in.
• You use the L button to activate support Pokemon.
• You can also use special, powerful moves in combat as well as utilizing mega evolution.
• The stage backgrounds are active, and Pokemon and trainers can move around the map freely.
• There are various fight modes: Single Battle, National Battle and In-Store Battle (there may be more unconfirmed modes). There is also a tutorial.
• There are location tests going on in Japan on January 30th, 31st and February 1st. It costs 100¥ to play. Namco Umeda Store and Maco Razona Kawasaki will have online play available
  
• 200 Bandai/Namco Passport cards will be given to players each day once they fill out the gameplay survey. Lucario on the 30th, Gardevoir on the 31st, Pikachu on February 1st. Machamp card will also be given at the Japan Amusement Expo on February 14th to the 500 players who fill out the survey
• Here are the controls: L activates your support, R activates guards, A uses an attack, B is jump, X is a separate weak attack, and Y is a strong attack. Using the D-Pad and the buttons gives you various moves (I'm guessing this is similar to how the SSBB system works). Fill a gauge to unleash Resonance Gauge for extra damage and Burst Attacks (and Mega Evolution)
• Support Pokemon are: Snivy, Lapras, Emolga and Fennekin. Waiting on confirmation for more.
• Two stages have been confirmed: Chrom Town and Phos Volcano

So what are your opinions on this? Unfortunately, it has only been confirmed for Japanese arcades thus far, but would you like to see it on the Wii U/3DS? Drop a comment below

This seems like it would be awesome.
Almost makes it worth getting a Wii U for Smash and this, almost.

This seems like it'd be an awesome game. I mean it's a pokemon game similar to street fighter. How is that not awesome lol
