Pokken Tournament might not quite be the Pokemon fighting game I’ve been dreaming of for years, but to be fair my dreams are ridiculously lofty. Despite its limited-by-reality scope, it’s the closest we’ve come to capturing the excitement of animated Pokemon battles in video game form.

A vibrant invitation to a new kind of fighter. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.70]
Much like the recently released Street Fighter V, Pokkén Tournament is a fighting game that only really comes into its own if you plan on playing it in local or online multiplayer. Solo gameplay is fun in short bursts, but to get the most out of this one you’re going to need a partner to duke it out with.

Algunos modelos de Pokémon son muy buenos pero otros dejan q desear tenía mayor potencial,poca variedad de Pokémon lo cual lo hace repetitivo, pero que rico poder vivir la experiencia de un combate Pokémon con esos gráficos tú mismo un buen juego.

Great Game, great movement but lack of content, the story mode is bad, the only good thing about it is the boss fights against shadow mewtwo

It may not be what you are expecting if you are a hardcore Pokémon fan, or a hardcore fighting game fan … but Pokkén Tournament is a fun and unique experience that almost anyone can enjoy.

Pokkén Tournament is a very solid Pokémon spin-off.

Man Pokken tournament for the Wii U I wish there was an actual Pokémon game on the Wii U but this spin off Pokémon game it was the greatest game in 2016 the graphics are fantastic on that game and the gameplay and the story I think they should do stuff like this again because this game is fantastic on the Wii U it’s probably the best Pokémon spinoff game I’ve played with my friends back in 2016

It's no surprise that Pokkén Tournament is good, but it is surprising that it feels so unique. It's a refreshing face in the fighting genre, and offers up a ton of fun.

Pokémon Tekken combines both original games into a great fighting game. Only the single player mode lacks diversity.

A great synergistic effort for combining two worlds: Pokémon and the spirit of Bandai Namco battle games. The result is a remarkable and innovative title, but short in terms of content.

Aside from a few issues with the core gameplay, Pokkén Tournament is an enjoyable yet charming fighting game for fans and enthusiasts alike. Limited by a somewhat uninspired roster and very blurry visuals, it's a solid base to evolve from.

Pokken Tournament is the first Pokemon-focused fighting game ever released, but the final product feels more like a barebones offering rather than a fleshed out product.

Al principio es muy sencillo, luego subes de ligas y... mejor mira como juega la maquina en nivel máximo para aprender a hacer algo decente, pues es bastante difícil y un buen reto estilo pokemon lucha. Me fascino tener el control del pokemon y que no falle bajo mi mano.

A nice game, but you'd be better off playing another 3D fighter. This game can be very slow, and why did they pick the Pokémon they did? If you want to go around exploring and catching Pokémon, this isn't the game for you. Pick this up if you liked Tekken or Virtua Fighter.

The gameplay itself is good but this version is obsolete and was quickly replaced by the switch one, who got way more pokemon and is still getting updates and dlc. I do recommend trying this game, it is definetly worthy, but look for the switch edition of it.

This game only has a good graphics.Hasn't a story and the game is so repetative. I finished the game It was so boring.

The graphics is the only good thing about this game. it suffers from every other fighting game trope that makes them angering and annoying and makes it even worse. Tip for developers making fighting games. never...NEVER have a mechanic where a character does a move where you CAN NOT HIT THEM. if i am beating the hell out of my opponent they should not be able to sit there and take it with no problem just because they are doing a certain move. the lack of modes also kills this game. with a sub par story and crappy tournament mode this game is not redeemable
