Part 2 is here, please check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqljh7CW07ulnnk.html P.S. This game were developed by Bandai Namco and Harada was also one of the producer if anyone curious why there're a lot of Tekken references

Heihachi didn't die... he just reincarnated as a Pikachu

Pikachu is a Mishima. This knowledge will keep me awake at night.

And to think, I thought my friends were joking when they said Pokken was literally Tekken with pokemon models.

As Sakurai once said about Kazuya’s final smash. “In Japanese he’s saying, “This will be your burying ground!” It might sound like a cool phrase, but he’s also saying it to fighters like Pikachu.” I think he knows it’s Heihachi.

Heihachi raises a Pichu from an egg. Heihachi then throws that Pichu into Mt. Coronet. Out of the mountain climbs a Pikachu, thirsty for revenge.

I like the fact that Pikachu was unapologeticly a Mishima. Lmao

0:14 Pikachu's not gonna sugarcoat it

3:06 That stunner by pikachu is wild

This video is better marketing than the official trailer. This makes me want to buy and play this game SO much more

Seeing Pikachu do DORYA is the most amazing, hilarious thing I’m so happy to witness 😆

Pikachu being Pokken’s Heihachi is absolutely ADORABLE!!

Making pikachu a Mishima is objectively one of the funniest game designs of any fighting game

Pokken tournament is such an underrated game, I think this it deserves another chance.

It's insane how much attention to detail there is in this game to both the Tekken and Pokemon source material. One of my favourite things is how creative they got with adapting mechanics from the mainline Pokemon games to Pokken too, things like Chandelure having hex, a command grab that becomes stronger if the opponent has debuffs, or Decidueye's acrobatics being stronger if you DON'T have full meter (analogous to in game where its stronger if you don't have an item), or Weavile's knock off removing meter (again like how it removes items in game). There's so much passion, it's criminal that it was never advertised enough that people are still only seeing it for the first time over 7 years later

It's like some of the Tekken characters somehow ended up on this random island and actually taught certain Pokémons about how to fight mano-o-mano and they taught some of their best moves to the Pokémon they liked. And because of that, they now have what is basically the Ferrum league, which is the Pokémon's version of the King of Iron Fist Tournament.

It's insane how it all fits so well, like aesthetically and such. Most of the pokemon really fit the fighters they're borrowing from

Part of Project Souls team also helped worked on this, Soul Calibur moves can also be found on characters like Chandelure, others than Soul Calibur references. Some character even has reference to Gundam moves.

Pokken is such great game! Remembered playing it for the first time and just ROFL when Pikachu can do the Electric! Now that Kazuya is in Smash modders can make Pikachu and the other Pokemon have Pokken movesets and it truly has come full circle!

If only Heihachi knows he had another such a talented son that is Pikachu, he wouldn't go nuts over his (presumably) only demonic son. I can quite imagine he would build an amusement park exclusively for Pikachu and plays with him all day like a spoiling grandpa would.

5:39 Mewtwo doing Hellsweep will always live rent-free in my mind.

I see why Kazuya was in Smash I love the references

I didn’t know Heihachi was a Pokémon trainer 😂 He trained both a bear and a Pikachu?

The Fact that Garchomp has Bryan’s moves always amazes me.

The cleverness and creativity here is awesome! Some of these straight up perfectly translate to Pokemon moves. I think Mewtwo takes from Kazuya, so Pikachu vs Mewtwo, incredible. Now i want a spin off game where Tekken characters have Pokemon with them. Kind of like that one time in Pokemon Conquest. Just imagine how well King and Incineroar would get along. They're too perfect.

Jesse: “Power is Everything.” James: “Fighting is about who’s left standing.” Meowth: “Meowth, that’s right.”

These references were pretty cool, there's also a handful from Soul Calibur and Street Fighter as well(Blaziken also borrows moves from Ken and Chun-Li). Decidueye(The Grass Owl) also has Hwoarang references if I'm not mistaken.

I love the idea of big, mean, scary Heihachi loving his Pikachu so much that he taught it karate

Croagunk does the Miguel laugh unblockable, I laughed a lot when I did that without knowing anything about the game

Man, "its not a tuna" from the magickarp boat is a banger

My grandpa died and reincarnated as electric rat

The parallels they drew between the Pokemon and the Tekken cast is super interesting - Pikachu is Heihachi, Garchomp is Bryan, Charizard is Devil, ect Now I want to see the Tekken fighters with each as their signature Pokemon

Don't get me wrong, Pokkén Tournament is a great game for fans of Pokémon and Tekken alike. However, I believe it would have worked better as a standard 3D fighting game instead of an arena fighter. Still, you can't deny that the developers put a lot of thought into the moves that each Pokémon borrows from the iconic cast of The King of Iron Fist Tournament, along with some of the stages and respective Easter eggs you can spot.

Back in the days, I was so happy that Sceptile used the same moves than Yoshimitsu. My favorite Pokemon (at the time) with my favorite video game character moveset was such a cool thing.

Thanks for putting these compilations together, this is really cool video game history

We needed comparison videos like these 8 years ago

Fantastic to see Pokkén get some love! The Pikachus, Charizard and Sceptile Tekken influenced animations seem rather obvious but I was surprised by the sheer amount of animations that Garchomp, Gardevoir and Machamp share with Tekken characters. I was also surprised by the variety of characters that Blaziken borrows animations from. Overall, a great comparison video. Thanks for putting a spotlight on Pokkén Tournament with this!

Still salty the Hitmons are not in here. Hitmonlee doin Hwo's moves would be godlike

Pokken Tournament‘s german name is literally „Pokemon Tekken“

Theres a common stun animation that was created for pokken where the characters look as if they're getting electrocuted. The exact animation was used for Eliza's rage art in tekken 7 when she magically freezes the opponent in place.

Decidueye's render is literally Lars' Tekken 7 render but mirrored

It's crazy just how many nods to Tekken they managed to get in here. Love it. I should pick up Pokken. Also, Blastoise has Armor Kings handspring into back elbow lol

1:10 the freaking arena too holy ahit this is gold

Thanks for posting this comparison, it's alot of fun to see all the references.

A Pikachu that can do Stone Cold Stunner and the Hellsweep. Never played a single Pokemon game but that was awesome

I've played a ton of Tekken and a decent amount of Pokken, and as much as I knew the game shared some moves I can't believe how much I missed. Thanks for the video.

It's actually scary how close my favorite characters in Pokken are to my favorite characters in Tekken. Lol Also, Pikachu + Electric Wind God Fist is amazing.

Pokkén is a really good game with really good references. So much love and care was put into it that it’s insane.

I've played tens of thousands of games of pokken and you've managed to include moves that even I didn't know about (such as Blaziken brave bird / devil kazumi). Amazing finds, great video.

Every time I see more of this game I just really wanna get into it. I really wish the local gameplay were more accessible, I'm sure this game would have taken off so much more.

Sometimes there are games made and you look back on them and wonder how the hell did that happen it’s such a crazy concept

The way you make tekken look is how ive always viewed it in my head bro again thanks for making these videos. Ive played this game my whole life and no one ever does it justice!

Watching this vid brought me back when I owned both games on Wii U. TTT 2 is still one of the most fun fighting games I've ever played and Pokken was such a hidden gem. Probably will buy Pokken back for my Switch just to have fun.

Pokken deserves more attention, and love. Such an underrated fighting game.

Man you are the best Tekken youtuber nobody makes videos half as interesting and compelling as you. You also show off things I never knew about Tekken related. You're without a doubt the king of tekken youtube videos

Pikachu doing Heihachi's and AK moves is the most cutest thing ever

Seeing pikachu deliver a stunner is gonna live in my mind rent free for the rest of my life lmao

Pika is not gonna sugarcoat it

Oh damn... I don't know what is crazier, the moves themselves or how some of the personalities actually fit some of the Pokémon...

3:38 is also similar to Yohsi’s Guilotine Crow Kick (u+3+4)

Pokemen tournament is just family friendly Tekken 💀

4:20 omg lili moves.. 🔥🔥🤩🤩

I love that people remember this game because it deserves to be remembered i really want a sequel to this the style was so awesome

3:04 She's setting Machamp up. STUNNER! LIBRE NAILS THE STUNNER!

Pokken so criminally underrated bruh look at the amount of love they put into this game all the references and moves

Garchomp and Pikachu being complete resembles of Heihachi and Bryan Fury will always make me happy

Very Fitting That Pikachu has ELECTRICS🤣 Also Dang the Stages look pretty Good!

I didn't know they were that many, wow. This game is full of Tekken references, I like it. Not into pokemon tho, so never played it.

Great work man. That must have taken some serious time.

Yoooo this is sooo cooool!! I used to play hella Pokken for WiiU in 2016, became top 5 worldwide in online matches. Fought Uroboros and other cool dudes, mained Gengar, Weavile, Machamp, Blaiziken and Gardevoir. Always felt sad that this game didn't do any better in the comunity, OST is straight up fire. Sold my WiiU never played the Switch version. This threw me back good. Thank you so much for this!!

2:13 my favorite

Pickachu can use EWGF!?

Tekken: you can copy, but change something so they don't notice you copied Pokken:

Pikachu is not gonna sugarcoat it

Love the detail of even the opponents matching their counterparts.

Played Pokken once a few years back but never got into it. I didn't realize they literally just took some animations from Tekken, that's funny to me.

I know this video must took FOREVER to make! Great work, my good sir.

This is absolut gold bro, namco I love you, my 2 favorite games this is beautiful.

Pikachu Mishima

I love Pokken Tournament, been playing it competitively for six years, but I was never too familiar with Tekken. So thank you for compiling this, it lets me fully appreciate the variety of references in my favorite fighting game!

The research work here is amazing.

I knew literally nothing about Tekken when Pokken came out. But now that I know a little more, seeing all these references and Easter eggs is so cool!! Big ups to Bandai-Namco for being the goats!

Never knew about this game until now and I want to play it!

Imagine being 7 foot tall getting stunnered by a 1 foot tall pikachu luchador

I can't believe that Pikachu got his fighting moves from an old man and a kangaroo...

Garchomp and Bryan’s laugh killed me 😂

Where can I find this Pokken, I want it

1:51 Also very similar to Lee’s Hit Man Stance’s jump kick move

Pikachu saying "PIKA!" while doing the EWGF as a Kiai, just like Kazuya says "DORYA"... that's awesome

thanks for this, it's incredible

Pikachu doing the Armor King stretch is something I never knew I needed in my life.

It was a fun little mini-game of watching the Pokémon perform a move and trying to remember which Tekken character it originated from

"Pikachu is a Mishima" is not a sentence I'd find myself using before this.

I appeciate timing the stage references with their Tekken themes. I particularly love Tekken 5 Dragon's Nest

You're telling me Pikachu has access to the Omen Thunder God Fist?

That Pikachu clearly belongs to the Mishima family.

Adding that hit stop and trail effects for attacks makes them look much more satisfying to hit and more readable compared to the original moves, even with a short-limbed character like pikachu. 0:26 especially here, mishima's multihit attack had zero impact and the uppercut looked like a wet noodle

“Pikachu Mishima isn't real he can't hurt you“ Pikachu Mishima:

Bro what did I just see Pikachu hit a electric god fist
