Fresh Announcements From Pokémon For 2017

The competitive Pokémon action fighting game known as Pokken DX has been announced for September 22nd 2017. A game that is unique in the way you take direct control of the Pokemon to unleash moves like thunderbolt onto your opponent.

A virtual console playable version of Pokémon Gold and Silver will also be available for Nintendo 3DS on September 22nd 2017 so you can enjoy the old school version of Pokémon too!

The Pokémon crew teamed up with Bandai Namco who are experts in 3D action and fighting games, helping to make the action in Pokken look awesome and exciting, even if you’re a novice with the controls.

New features include fresh battle stages like Thalia beach, a popular resort island blessed with warm sun and beautiful beaches where many activities are enjoyed alongside Ferrum Battles. Freely run around the battle field with full 360 movement or change up your strategy with double jump to unleash airborne moves on your opponent.

There are total of 21 playable characters.  16 original characters plus a roster of 5 new characters:

Darkrai

Scizor

Empoleon

Croafunk

Decidueye

Play options include Ranked Match, Friendly Match and Group Match, a friends only battle mode where you can enjoy up to a 3v3 play,

Other welcome announcements from the Pokémon franchise include  Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon forthcoming November 17 this year. The original Sun and Moon series rethought a lot of the basic elements of the Pokémon games and there are a lot of new characters and story elements to look forward to.

Although it is not exactly clear what Nintendo have in store, it seems as if they’re producing an alternate take or remix on the original Sun and Moon adventure and story. The new game will feature Pokémon that weren’t in the originals plus tons of new features. Fans have been perplexed by the clues Nintendo have left in the media, hinting at new trials, attack moves and characters, so there is much to look forward to!
