Português: Eu adoro pokémon, mas jogar isso foi uma das piores experiências em jogos de luta que já tive. O combate é extremamente duro, não deixando você se mover tão livremente, além da câmera estar fixa no pokémon inimigo, fazendo com que você não consiga mover para as direções que põe nos direcionais. Combos porcamente mal feitos, tirando todo interesse em fazê-los e só jogar apertando qualquer botão no controle, mesmo sendo um jogo de luta, feito para bater e fazer combos legais de serem vistos. Jogo fácil, o que faz com que não perca nenhuma vez enquanto joga, com excessão do Dark Mewtwo, que é feito exatamente pra você perder várias vezes e ficar irritado por simplesmente ser injusto. E a História... Minha nossa, o que foi isso que eu acabei de ver. Tudo bem que a história dos jogos da franquia pokémon não importa muito, com algumas ressalvas de Pokémon Scarlet e Violet e a saga Legends. Tudo é ridículo de repetitivo, você assiste slides de power point passando na tela e luta, slide e luta, slide e luta, e você faz isso quinhentas vezes, porque é a única coisa que você vai fazer O JOGO TODO. Mas isso aqui foi algum tipo de brincadeira de mal gosto, é simplesmente ruim, você só vai ficar apertando o "Plus" do controle, pra simplesmente pular tudo e zerar logo. Não faz nem sentido continuar falando da história, é simplesmente podre. E agora o 100%, caso você vá fazer, (não sei porque você faria isso inclusive). Completar todos os painéis, fazendo coisas muito específicas para pegar as fotos aleatórias dos pokémon fazendo algum movimento, títulos que você também pega em alguns painéis, além de ser "obrigado" a subir o level dos pokémon até o 100, caso queira o título exclusivo daquele seu main pokémon. Mas, sabe como você faz tudo isso? Se matando, porque você faz tudo igual até conseguir as coisas na base da sorte. Nota final: 2 (Injogável) ou (Prefiro levar um tiro no peito) English: I love Pokémon, but playing this was one of the worst fighting game experiences I've ever had. The combat is extremely stiff, not allowing you to move freely, and the camera is fixed on the enemy Pokémon, making it impossible to move in the directions you use the directional pad. The combos are poorly made, taking away all the interest in performing them and just mashing any button on the controller, even though it's a fighting game, made for hitting and performing cool combos. The game is easy, which means you won't lose once while playing, except for Dark Mewtwo, which is designed precisely for you to lose multiple times and get angry because it's simply unfair. And the **** goodness, what did I just see? It's true that the story of the Pokémon franchise games doesn't matter much, with some exceptions for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the Legends saga.Everything is ridiculously repetitive, you watch PowerPoint slides go by on the screen and fight, slide and fight, slide and fight, and you do this five hundred times, because that's the only thing you'll do THE ENTIRE GAME. But this was some kind of bad joke, it's simply bad, you'll just keep pressing the "Plus" button on the controller to skip everything and finish it quickly. There's no point in continuing to talk about the story, it's simply awful. And now the 100%, in case you're going to do it (I don't know why you would do this anyway). Completing all the panels, doing very specific things to get random photos of Pokémon doing some movement, titles that you also get in some panels, in addition to being "forced" to level up your Pokémon to 100 if you want the exclusive title for your main Pokémon. But, do you know how you do all this? Killing yourself, because you do everything the same way until you get things based on luck. Final score: 2 (Unplayable) or (I'd rather take a bullet in my chest)

It's such an interesting and fun eventful game, but forgetting what best combos you've came up with can be quite forgettable.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Damn good fighting game basis, adding great gameplay to a solid roster with tons of customization and decent extra modes, features. With a stronger story mode and better roster this could be one of the best fighting games and pokemon games of all time, but is still just excellent as it stands. Give me a sequel!

グラフィックが凄い。迫力満点の試合が楽しめる。演出が凄い。60fpsで滑らかな試合が楽しめるのも今作の凄いところ。現時点の話ではありますが、スイッチのポケモンゲームで1番オススメです。

My boy Chandelure and I absolutely swept the single player mode only to get crushed by the first person I played against online, so all in all, a pretty standard fighting game experience that happens to also feature some of my favorite Pokémon. I only wish there was more personality or stakes to the game, as the “story” mode might as well not exist for how little impact it left on me.

Just ok, I expected a little more from this. I mean, the battle are every Pokémon fan wet dream, but aside from that, the great avatar customization and some decent graphics for a Wii U game, there isn't anything really worth it.

El modo online de este juego es basura, mi primera partida en online me empareja con un jugador con más de 1000 victorias y yo que apenas me compré el juego hace días, la segunda partida me empareja con un jugador con más de 500, esto no puede ser

this game is another lacking Pokemon game the controls are gimmicky and I can expect that people think this game is good. the only reason I gave it a 3 is that it is fun with friends. but when you are alone it is very boring.

The game have unique interesting mechanics, interesting gameplay, also have challenge, the graphics looks very cool, there's so much potential to bring in a competitive brief, the only thing that bother me is the lack of characters in the roster.

Now THIS is awesome! Controls were nice, gameplay was simple. Gengar solos too.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Overall - 6/10 Difficulty - Medium Platform - Nintendo Switch Replay Value - 6/10 Gameplay - 7/10 Hours Played - 10 hrs Extra Notes: It's pretty good. It was fun to play with friends and single player/story wasn't bad and sometimes fun.

Great game. I don't know if this version is easier than the Wii U version or if Blastoise is over powered. I'm in A ranking part in the Campaign. The game play is fun and explosive. The graphics are great. I wish Nintendo would lower the price.

It's entertaining but not worth the 60% price tag. I wish there was more content and a better story mode.

A 10/10 for me, because the AI on Very Hard is actually really fun to fight against. And the game itself is amazing, i hope there will be a new game soon.

this game is not fun and really is not good. has no good options or a good story mode

Worst game I've ever played. I don't recommended this game to anyone, go playing on PC with an emulator and you understand why.

The by far best presentation in any pokemon game, and that's already worth a lot. It makes you ask yourself why TPC doesn't do more with the franchise in other cases. The character roster could be bigger though.

This seems to be a hidden gem of sorts. Not many seem to know about this game, but I think it's a quite competent fighting game experience.

A very bad replica of Tekken and one more example that Bandai Namco does not know how to handle this franchise. As a fighting game it is lacking in all aspects.

Pokkén torment is a really good game with good additional Pokémon to the game but to some people the field switching is confusing I find it fine but I can see why some people dislike this.

Man Another awesome Pokémon spinoff game remastered on the switch I played this game a lot at a football game at a park and other places this was like my childhood Pokémon game it’s probably one of the best games on the switch better then sword and shield Pokken tournament has like the best graphics of real life stuff in this game and I loved it that they added shadow mewtwo to the game that was cool I love this game to death I hope there’s a sequel to this game on the switch

pokemon dx pros perfect fighting style in every way perfect story mode cons little to none except maybe mewtwo being a bit laggy redeeming tourny mode as fitting for the game's name

Ok este jogo é quase perfeito mas modo história deveria ser um pouco melhor 'mas tirando isso está tudo bem

It's not a bad game by any means. it just has a very shallow cast of fighters. it's a good port but it's not worth full price if you ask me. love my boi scpetile though

with all the pokemon spin offs that have come out over the years, i think it's kind of weird we didn't get a pokemon fighting game much sooner than we did. feels like a no brainer. now that one exists in the form of pokken tournament, it's easy to see that "pokemon" and "fighting game" is a match made in heaven.

Easy "pick up and play" game. Basically TEKKEN-Lite. I wish there was more DLC and unlockables. I feel like the story is pretty bland. The fighting system is pretty fun. I like how there are Power types, Speed types, and Technical types that allow you to play based on your preference. It's worth the buy, but understandable if you don't buy it. It's easy to play, so people who don't like fighting games will still like this! However, there's not a lot going into the game besides gameplay. Should've been more...

Es increible este juego, soy poseedor de mabos juegos pokken y streeth figther V, es sin duda mejor pokken

Fun game with well done characters, movements and visuals. The online mode is well balanced. I got a lot of hours of fun with this game.

An amazing competative game! Would recomend to tekken fans alike! Its really an expirence to play this amazing game! Great music, great variety of charachters to chose from and most importantly...Great multyplayer! It has its falls and ups but I think it is a perfect tittle to get for ur switch!

My god is this game under rated, So if you dont know what Pokken tournament is, well then imagine a less big worl of Tekken but with pokemon, well there you go, Smahs bros is a better game for the switch without a doubt but this game is its one thing and i still recommend giving it a shot. Ive put 60 hours into this game and I can say ithout a doubt its worth it.

By the 25th I will have owned this game for a year. This game is probably the most mediocre fighting game I've ever played. It's fun but takes a ton of skill to be good at but this game itself is not very good. Anime games are usually very lackluster but the thing that makes up for them is the fan service. What does this game have? **** a lackluster story mode. There aren't even that many characters and just for two you have to pay $20! Now with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate out that $60's this game costs would do much better going to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Un juego Genial Va muy fluido en el modo portatil ,las batallas son muy epicas ! Y tiene su estilo de combate muy propio

This game is a perfect fit for Switch and a great port non the lest. If you can find this game for 40 or lest then I definitely recommend this game!

Do not play pokentournement online because high ranks will never let ur get s1 because of cheap peircing move that need to be remove from the **** on top of that u people that made this game put artifical intelligence on poken!! So now go play a different game besidess poken tournament trust me its riged now dont buy this game till they fix it and make it easyto get s1 play Fortnite way beter than poken tournament Play fortnite Fortnite Fortnite Fortnite

Overall, this is a good game to be played if you have extra budget to spend on. There is lack of progress in the game, and it feels like its just another fighting games with your favorite pokemon. If there is story mode, character unlock, quests added into the game, it would keep my hands on the game for a longer period of time. However, I love the sound, control, battle effects, and the graphics of the game.

this game is a really fun way to take Pokemon out of turn based and into arena battles. it has a variety of characters, all have their own unique move sets. there are leagues you can take on, and daily missions that give you XP and amibos give you new items every day.. the problem with the game is that its mildly repetitive and there is DLC even though this is already a deluxe version of the game

Its great fun but there are not enough characters the story mode is trash and the 2d element while fighting just completely gets rid of the 3d after 1 hit so ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A solid fighting game. However, I would really like it if it would had a bigger character roster.

this game is not bad just a little lackluster. I enjoyed myself playing with friends

Not only the best Switch game, but the best fighting game period. This was the reason I grabbed Switch and no regrets

I cannot believe how many people like this game. 1. Switch itself to me is a regrettable purchase, I simply CANNOT speak to people I make friends with in games. Switch OS refuses to allow us to make friends and message one another. That I wish qualified me for a refund of the entire console. What a joke. 2. I spent 60USD on the Eshop, quite enjoyed the tournaments and CPU fights. So I try my luck online, WELL... I got ranked with someone who had 7500 wins, I have 0. Needless to say it was merciless. I then got ranked with someone who had 5000 wins, and they ended up adding me I assume to give me hints and maybe help me. (but I cant TALK to that person because Nintendo is a joke.) 0/10 for 2018 this is a disgusting joke. What a cash grab this entire bullcrap.

The premise of this game is a dream come to true to every Pokémon fan. The roster feels kind empty, if you think there were 800 options they could choose from. The daily challenge is nice and all, but the single player mode is really lack luster and it got boring real fast.

Overall decent game with some exciting gameplay but a lot of flaws. The fighter pool feels fairly expansive but ends up becoming stale rather quickly as there isn't a lot of variance in how each individual character can be played, and a lot of the time certain match-ups can feel very limiting in enjoying the game properly. The gameplay is fun up to a point and the aesthetic of the game is wonderful, but it was tough to find a reason to keep playing past the first few days.

no se que decir :/ historia corta y un poco aburrida, despues de pasarla el online es aburrido, los ataques son repetitivos, si os gusta pokémon, mejor compren otro de 3ds o esperen que salga el de switch

This game is quite the bit of fun for people who are good with other fighting games like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, or StreetFighter. Those people will do quite well. I on the other hand **** at all of those and I do decent at Pokken Tournament DX. The major problem with the game is how unbalanced it is. I find that 5 Pokemon - Decidueye, Mewtwo, and Gengar mainly are on the Broken side of that scale. Decidueye can use one combo to get you down to less than 1/4th of your health and then he can chain grab you at the end of said combo to put you down at about 10% of your total health for 1 combo in total. Mewtwo can just spam his midair counter attack and become the god he actually is then when he goes into synergy burst he has no cooldown on his cross map beam of death that will heavily damage you even if you have your block up. Gengar can just keep spamming the shadow ball and Ghost fists ( I don't know what attack it is supposed to be but he summons portals where you currently are and giant ghost fists punch you) moves and keep you away. Then you get mega Gengar which lasts for quite a while and he can just teleport and spam a lazer that crosses the entire arena everytime he fires it, which is about every 0.75 seconds meaning you can't put block down for a single minute moment or you get 1/5th of your health shaved off every time you are hit by it. There are several other unbalanced characters, and they just added Blastoise and Aegislash. Aegislash is beatable but you need to know exactly when to hit because of his damned sheild form. Blastiose has now the highest base attack and highest base defense in the game and is basically unkillable. Most of his normal attacks come out in 3s and will mow down your health but leave him wide open thankfully. But then you perform your strongest moves on him and they do about half to 1/4th of the damage they would do to every other character in the game. Still neither Aegislash nor Blastoise is as broken as the 3 above. Other than these 5 characters the rest of the game is pretty well balanced and quite fun. I still have a ton of fun playing in general. I have beaten all of the Broken Pokemon before but that was only because they were wielded by new players and I still had a hard time. I do believe that they need to go back in and balance all of the characters more fairly instead of most of the online player base using these 5 mainly. Decidueye has died down though so you won't run into those as much now.

Its a good port that adresses some of the pressing problems of the original. The gameplay is still fun and fast paced and the new characters - Decidueye, Empoleon, Darkrai, Scizor ans Croagunk - are a joy to use. Online battles are usually found in seconds so I often find myself falling for the "just one more match" syndrome. Unfortunately they didnt add any relevant single player content (and the original one is pretty much complete garbage) so I have to slash a couple of points.

"Pokkén Tournament" was another game I enjoyed on the Wii U, but unlike "Mario Kart 8," this was a game I didn't really put that much time into during its initial release. I'm not sure what it was, maybe it was that I was playing so many other games that I forgot about it? I'm not sure, but the point is, when I heard it was re-releasing for the Switch, I wanted to give it a shot, seeing as how the portability and on-the-go factor would allow me to play it a bit more. And I can say for sure, I'm glad I got the game again, because it's great! "Pokkén Tournament DX" is a fun and exciting fighter all-around. It controls extremely well, the story is actually decently interesting, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous, even in handheld mode, and with the ability to level up the playable Pokémon, along with their different styles of play, there's a lot of replay value on this one! On top of that, while it's not a "deep and technical fighter" per se, there's definitely a solid learning curve to this game that makes you want to keep playing and get better! I do have a couple problems with the game though. For starters, the limited roster of Pokémon is still a problem on the Switch version, and it's disappointing that there's only 21 playable Pokémon out of 800+ in the series. There are also some minor issues that kind of add up throughout the game: the campaign as a whole is really easy, even with the Shadow Mewtwo fights, and the "ranking" system after battles is really confusing (I could get two perfects on someone and get 3 stars, then get taken to my last hit but still get 5 stars? Huh?). I also personally find Duel Phase to be more fun than Field Phase, and there were times where I felt like Field Phase was kind of unnecessary. That might just be me, though. Either way, for all the little nitpicks and issues it might have, "Pokkén Tournament DX" is an extremely fun fighting game that's absolutely worth playing. In regards to this new version, I would recommend that if you already own the Wii U version and don't care for the few new characters that were added in, stick with that one. Otherwise, if you haven't gotten either version, do yourself a favor and grab this new release, because it's worth it! Final rating: 8 out of 10 "Great"
