Ok, now that thats out of the way - hey guys, its been a while!

I've been extremely taken up by my internship (which is going well by the way) but I promise I have a few things in the pipe line in terms of content. BUT Nintendo and Namco Bandai decided to drop a bomb that I can not wait to talk about. This piece is pure speculation, so I figured I'd blog it out rather than make a full feature for it.

So, Pokken Tournament has been speculated for quite a while, since Nintendo planted that screen shot at the tail end of a Pokemon X and Y trailer. Now we know it to be a fighting game, made hand in hand with Namco Bandai. (Tekken + Pokemon = Pokken, See?)

Needless to say, I'm very excited for this. So now I mainly want to know, what are you're thoughts on this new game. Are you excited, disappointed, puzzled? I mean, a lot is up in the air. For all we know, its Japan exclusive. There are rumblings that there could be a console release in the future. Wii U needs games, and a Pokemon fighter, while not being a full fledged RPG, would still sell units in my opinion.

Anyway, I wanted to speculate a little about potential roster. Fighting games limit the types of Pokemon to those who work best in fighters, but Tekken has proven they can work with odd types of characters. So lets see...

The shoe in/Confirmed characters are Lucario/Mega Lucario, Blaziken and Machamp. 

I think its safe to say that these Pokemon all have a good shot: 

Greninja

Mewtwo

Hitmonchan

Hitmonlee

Hitmontop

Sawk

Gallade

Swampert

Electivire/Electabuzz

Magmar

Hawlucha

Sceptile

Ursaring

Garchomp

among others that I'm sure I've missed. 

This might be a pretty cool game though. What say you guys?
