Pikachu Among Three New Playable Pokemon in Pokken Tournament

Three new playable Pokemon have been confirmed for the upcoming fighter Pokken Tournament, all of which are not fighting types.

Suicune, Gardevoir, and the series’ mascot Pikachu will all be playable in the fighting game when it comes to Japanese arcades sometime in 2015. A Wii U version of the game has yet to be officially confirmed. Also revealed were support Pokemon, including Snivy. Lapras, Emolga, and Fennekin.

Pokken Tournament is being developed by Bandai Namco’s Tekken team, and Nintendo has reportedly been pretty lenient with giving the team a lot of creative freedom.
