Funny how Croagunk get a Super Saiyan aura, does shadow clone and proceeds to shoot a Mouth Cero, my man is speedrunning references

Did you know that there are a bunch of Tekken moves in this game? Theres videos showing which moves are in the game, never thought i would see Pikachu throwing EWGF

Pokken had so much potential. I feel like it's a huge shame it ultimately didn't get much support, and feels like it's been given up on. I really hope they bring it back better than ever.

I loved the part where Darkrai said "Welcome... to my realm." and then welcomed you to his realm.

Before DX came out with Aegislash, Chandelure was the only Pokémon representing the dozens of object based Pokémon and I really respect that. It’s also the only fifth Gen rep, which is neat since later in 2020 it was voted as most popular Unova Pokémon globally

Charizard's grab is the same exact animation as one of Devil Jin's grab

You were asking about Machamp being Red in Burst mode in the vid. It's because of Bulk Up, so in Burst it has enhanced Strength and Defense (same as the effect of the move itself in mainline)

After Pokken launched on the Wii U, the arcade version was updated with more Pokemon. They skipped the original console release and were added to the Switch port's base roster with Blastoise and Aegislash released later as paid DLC.

This game got me into fighting games to begin with. Even though I'm much bigger into other games now, I still diligently attend an online monthly every time. The community is just so nice I cannot stay away. The best way I can describe it is a Street Fighter, Arena Fighter hybrid, and the Tekken origin is mostly for references and animations rather than any direct 1-to-1 comparisons. While the majority of the fight happens in the Duel Phase, the Field Phase is important for gaining positional advantage, farming super, and tacking on damage. Different characters approach field phase differently, for example: Gardevoir is a powerful zoner who can comfortably fight normally in field phase.. so against someone with a poor field phase like Lucario she wants to stay in it as long as possible to wrack up as much damage as possible.. but if fighting a Garchomp who can bypass her zoning far easier by just walking around it, she wants to swap as soon as she can to give Garchomp a harder time approaching in duel phase... etc.

Pokken has tekken references but the fighters aren't all based on tekken characters in play style... some even only really having a single move being similar

BTW All the characters have 2 grabs, one forward and one backwards 21:05 Also yes, it changes by phase.

As someone who played a lot of Shadow Mewtwo: The Mewtwos are pretty different despite similarities. Mewtwo has high HP, but are Burst meter that takes a long time to fill, and uses Burst when using his Hyper Beam special. Shadow has low HP, and even takes potential damage I believe when using specials, but he gets Burst fast. Mewtwo's Burst form last a long time if I remember correctly while Shadow's lasts a short time. Mewtwo has a Barrier move in the ground with follow-ups. Shadow's Barrier is Air only with different follow-ups. Most notably, Shadow Mewtwo has Miracle Eye, a non-damage move that modifies his projectiles. I think his Back Ranged in Field Phase actually got nerfed at some point because you could stun lock the opponent at the wall with the Miracle Eye enhanced version. They both have Psystrike as a Hit Grab, but I bring this up because Shadow can abuse the long animation to charge up Recover, then use that to get some of the HP he's spending back. They're not that similar honestly.

Kieran, one of Charizard's special moves is Seismic Toss and it's probably the best command grab in the whole game. It also comboes really well with his ultimate move. Charizard in this game is all offense and no defense, he can delete healthbars with some basic combos.

It's a bit hard to tell when non human creatures are attacking with power effects and such in a 2D side step-pable(?) angle xD so it can be hard to notice if not too obvious. But I will recommend ya' to see a comparison of Tekken moves in Pokken

I would love a character review of each Pokémon in Pokken! It seems dope hearing how different it is from Tekken

Gardevoir burst move is called “Fairy Tempest” so I’m assuming it’s Moonblast with Psychic

There's 2 videos online by, I believe, Hi Buff Gigas Pls, that shows off the tekken moves in Pokken.

We NEED another Pokken game. I mained Blaziken. Hopefully, Krookodile gets in since he has Close Combat in his moveset now so they could make the Intimidation Pokemon an actual threat

25:55 Give Greninja a Mega Evolution and I'm happy

There's actually a move comparison video between Pokken and Tekken. You can react to that if you want.

21:07 its a shame you immediately forgot about the existence of a second grab and rarely try it after this...

32:13 id watch you play legends Z-A for sure ^^

Another thing is that there aren't really special inputs. A is for special moves, X is for heavy attacks, Y is for light attacks, and B is for Jumping, with the obvious directional inputs. Also characters' moves change in between phases and even depending on whether they are synergized (the super state) or not.

Its worth mentioning that the only 1-1 pokemon attacks in the game are the special moves, though certain burst attacks are designed to sorta be suped up versions of different pokemon moves depending on the character (for an example, Croagunk's special moves are Poison Sting (5A), Poison Jab (6A), Theif (4A), Gunk Shot (j.A), Fowl Play (Duel 8A), and Venoshock (Duel 2A))

Oh, I was just looking at these! My favourite is Blastoise.

We need a sequel to this game Pikachu Libre was my main 😎

Man. Watching you play this makes me miss playing it. I did play competitively for a little bit. My main being Decidueye and secondary being Garchomp. Seeing ya try out Decidueye really made me feel kinda nostalgic

The Tekkén references are more noticeable in the victory and introduction animations than the fightings attacks. I highly recommend looking up the Tekkén references in this game because some Pokémon characters reference more than 1 Tekkén character. I know that Sceptile has some Yoshimitsu animations and Decidueye has Hworang’s triple kick. Oh this is also my head canon but I think Machamp’s red color is supposed to be focus energy because he’s “pumped up” as a reference to Pokémon Stadium.

Another interesting thing with Pokken is that each character was designed around their own game plan not just generic archetypes meaning it realy depends on the context of the matchup to whether there will be zoneing, rushdown or both. This will boil down to the character and the ooppent strength. Although there is Dlc it is by no means pay to have an easer time since Ageslash health is realy low and Blastiose is missing a couple of necrocracy tools in neutral allowing decent shadow mewtews to run circles in the match.

Aegislash is my personal main in the game. He has the only true parry in the game (Forward+Guard, default R) and during a lot of his moves if you hit Guard you swap him to Shield Forme. He has an entirely different move set in Shield Forme, and you restore 10 recoverable HP whenever you go into Shield Forme. If you swap from Shield Forme to Blade Forme (The one you start in,) you get a buff colloquially called "Sharpness" (Which coincidentally is an ability in Gen 9) that boosts your power and allows you to do more attacks with Fury Cutter (Neutral Pokemon Move, default A,) and if you do that seven times, you get a buff colloquially called "Rainbow Flames" which also boosts your speed massively. He's also one of the more complicated fighters in the game because of Stance Change.

Greninja, Infernape, Zeraora, Hawlucha, Incineroar, Zoroark, why aren't they in this game? I will never understand.

I love this game so much! Btw all the move names are in the pause menu, and as you could tell, the game isn't exactly one to one tekken, but a lot of the special moves are functionally based on moves characters have in tekken!

So nice to see this game still getting some attention

A little minor detail, machamp’s Pokédex said he can punch 1000 times in two seconds, hence why you can see machamp’s super has 1000 hits. I sometimes love how this game took this detail literally.

Speaking of Dragonball, Kieran, what did the combo count say was the number of hits (27:57)?

Pikachu can actually do the EWGF

Sceptile actually fights like a samurai

As long as it runs better than scarlet and violet I'll be happy for ZA. Also it would be cool to see what you think of BlazBlue Central fiction finishers or under night in birth

Maybe a bunch of people have pointed this out already, but Pokken plays nothing like a Tekken game. It just has a lot of Tekken/Soul Calibur references in it. Pikachu has a few of Heihachi's moves, like the Hell Sweeps and EWGF, and even one of his victory animations. Lucario has a blend of moves inspired by Lars and Leo. Croagunk has Miguel's one-hit KO punch. (Even though is sadly doesnt one-hit KO in Pokken) Charizard's normal grab in Duel Phase is a reference to Devil Jin Garchomp's normal grab in Field Phase is a reference to Bryan Some of the stages are references to Tekken. Most notably, the boat with the Magikarp flying everywhere and the dragon sky arena. Mokujin is literally in the background of the dojo stage. The list goes one. Someone has made a few compilation vids showing off these references.

Heihachu Mishima is real

I think if they ever make a sequel, machamps new ultimate should have him do the 1000 punch combo again, but every punch makes him bigger as a gigantamax mon, and by the end he's so big he's the size of Galactus, and he does the asura's wrath/ scooby doo punch.

Bunch of the roaster also put in the same position in Unite (not all of them) and they also put a credit on this. Nevermind, not surprising that also in the same franchise.

Pokken is genuinely amazing, I’m so sad it didn’t get popular. Also here’s when everyone was added: Most were base game when the Wii U version launched. Empoleon, Darkrai, Croagunk, and Scizor, were all added as dlc for the Japanese arcade versions only. They would also be base game when the Switch version released. Decidueye is base game for the switch version only. Blastoise and Aegislash where dlc for the switch version. Also if you were trying to see grabs, you missed a ton. Every character has minimum of 2 one for each phase. But many have more in like in synergy, command grabs, or some other conditional grabs.

Pokken was top tier.

I love how the amount of hits Blazikens Ultimate has is his pokedex No.257

Yes Sceptile is this game's ninja he even has for his grab in non Burst/Mega Evolution Form Ryu Hayabusa's Izuna Drop.

Pokken was great! I'd love another one day- Speaking of you having lv46 on Crogunk, I got a switch clip of my lucario reaching lv100, and a few others I played often (lesser lv)

Yeah apparently im subbed, domt remember that, but imma keep it up, i appreciate that end slate, some MH, KH, Halo, DQ, LoZ, FF, Tensura, plus the Pokemon and Tekken rep in vid, yo, great taste

This game needs a sequel

I would love to see more Pokemon content from you, I'm very excited for Pokemon legends za and new megas i would personally love to see are Flygon, the Kalos starters, Talonflam,Pikachu and Eevee.

Empoleon’s Synergy Burst is literally Hydro Vortex before Hydro Vortex.

I remember when this game came out I was at the college my sister was going to due to it being little sibs weekend. Using Lucario,Siczor and Charizard (Changing ever so often between them in between matches)I wrecked the makeshift tournament they had set up there. Pokken is the only fighting game I ever did well in.

My mains in this game are Braixen (yes, projectiles for days) and Sceptile. Judging by some of your early commentary, how little of this game have you played? Okay, tactical crash course time: - Gameplay routinely alternates between "Field Phase" (3D fighting) and "Duel Phase" (2D fighting), switching with basically every knockdown (e.g. from a combo or grab). Pay attention to the exaggerated hitstop followed immediately by a change in camera angle (overhead or side-on), and also that red-blue "Phase Shift" notification that pops up near your lifebar. - Pokemon are roughly classified into "Power", "Speed", "Technical" (or "Balanced") groups, but I am not qualified to explain the differences. - All attacks are typed according to this triangle: *Standard < Counter < Grab < Standard.* - All Pokemon can perform a standard Counter by pressing X+A (you can also charge it for about 2 seconds). Counters flash blue upon use, will armor through Standard attacks, and a fully-charged Counter can pierce shields. - All Pokemon have a standard Grab, by pressing Y+B. Grabs flash green upon use, will armor through Counters, ignore shields, and will switch between Field and Duel phases. (And yes, there are different Grab animations depending on which Phase you use it in.) - Standard attacks flash red during a matchup against a Counter (which it loses) or a Grab (which it wins). As a rule, the winning attack in a matchup shows a more colorful/vivid color flash than the loser, and the loser of a matchup receives a hard knockdown. - All Pokemon have a standard shield/guard, but may receive chip damage from certain attacks. Winning a type matchup against the opponent does NOT incur chip damage. - You can review a Pokemon's moveset by pausing the game and selecting that option from the menu. Otherwise, you barely even scratched what their kits are capable of. (There's also a Dojo practice tutorial that guides you through all of a Pokemon's moves.) - Most Pokemon moves are Standard, but some may be Counter or Grab typed. For example, Sceptile's Leaf Blade (forward+A in either phase) is Counter typed, and its Burst attack is Grab typed.

pikachu is a mishima in this game, he has EWGF on his forward weak attack

2:40 domain expansion: eternal nightmare.

If greninja was in this game he would definitely transform into ash-greninja and his burst would be the golden water shuriken from the fight with Alan in the anime

I’d hope to see a whole play through of ZA from you I just hope for some Unova Mega’s.

a lot of these moves are actually taken form the pokedex. gardevoir summoning a black hole, machamp doing 1000 punches in 2 seconds, gengar's mouth being a hellgate.

I wish there is more dlc packs than 1

Agislash does have TWO DIFFERENT burst ultimates depending on if you're in shield or sword mode

Imagine if Gen-7-9 Pokemon like these got into a sequel: - Alolan Marowak - Bewear (as the Kuma/Panda) - Nihilego - Marshadow - Inteleon - Obstagoon - Mr. Rime - Hisuian Lilligant - Quaquaval (can be the Eddie Gordo) - Ceruledge (this could be like SC's Nightmare) - Tinkaton (like a tiny Astaroth) - Annihilape (to mimic Akuma) - Gholdengo - Brute Bonnet - Iron Valiant - Okidogi (w/Munkidori and Fezandipiti providing illegal support) - Ogerpon - Archaludon

Blaziken basically is Ken as a pokemon

And blastoise too

WE NEEEEED A SEQUEL

Pokkén is the only fighting game I’ve put time into, it’s the very reason Machamp is my favorite Mon because I mained him. I had the most fun in this game just from learning how to play each character

I love this game and my favorite character is lucario

Blastoise be like here hold my beer😂😂😂

Also Pokken for Switch came with the DLC characters free

As a street fighter fan yourself… You should react to street fighter x tekken cinematic trailers ..

You should definitely play it. Pokkén’s one of the most goated Pokémon games.

Who's gonna tell him that every pokemon has a different moveset for after they Synergy Burst? Also, Shadow Mewtwo has a VERY different moveset, it's only Synergy Burst and the grabs that are the same

Could you react to 7ds grand cross all ults pls and thankyou chocolatekieran also great vid

Pikachu-Libre should sue Incineroar for gimmick infringement for that Super being the same, right down to the camera angles.

Chandelure is my main.

Mewtwo has both megas as his burst form, it just depends on rng, i had mega mewtwo Y before and the burst ult was different then the one in this video

Pikachu is a Mishima lmao bro got EWGF

I remember Pokken, it feels like how a Pokemon Battle SHOULD play out. The scene for it kinda fell off because it just wasn't fun to watch. One of the higher level Japanese players found out you could just zone out completely with Braixen.

Bro I'm the weirdo who mains pikachu libre,brixan,and disdueye idk y but I got good with them for no reason

React to the OG Z Broly Movie 8 so you can see that he says more words then Kakarot bro even calls him Goku in the movie

As long as any new megas in Legends Z-A are given to pokemon that NEED it and not to popular ones than I'm fine with it.

24:03 Pokémon games have smaller budgets and have wider scopes then pokken U guys see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory ​​⁠their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of Hot take: the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense ​​⁠let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs Pokémon SV isn’t an unfinished game they just pull all the effort into the shit that ACTUALLY matters If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget They probably share resources Maybe about the sharing idk They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need Can’t believe people still care about that frame stuff I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things? Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised Was friendship magic? Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures? Ok then it’s a good game Those are what’s important to Pokémon As the og theme said Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end Then that’s a strong enough ending for me Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that Performance graphics those things never Mattered You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64 The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient Assuming we get more open world games NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic Probably turned it upside down And before u say just delay the game They can’t delay the game The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games ​​⁠it’s not outdated it’s rebellious and nonconformist The games aren’t rushed there is a schedule they abide by for symbiosis The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other You can’t move one without ruining the groove Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled There is a symbiosis there When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that the og games bugs are looked back on as charming Give SV 20 years it’ll be the same Running shmunning

I think machamp turning red is supposed to be like he's burnt because machamp has the ability Guts.

Please do a reaction to Wonder of U gameplay and his special abilities in ASBR

Mega Gardevoir realy turn into gojo kkk

Suicune used Sheer Cold

me when my entire personality is making anime references

You got really hung up on the idea they were gonna use only actual pokémon moves instead of just doing... Whatever, i guess. I mean, remember the anime? Some of the stuff they do in it is just fucking bananas and has nothing to do with the game, but it's still fun

Kieran? Where have I seen that name before? 🤔

If he explored the characters more he would've found much cooler things

Pocketmon tekken, or as its known, pokken

Maybe you could react to the Pokémon adaptacions in Pokémon unite

React to pokken and tekken parallels

wtf Lars/kazuya?!! 11:17 I know Lars ra is same from naruto ultimate but it looks like it or a kazuya ra

Its not a fighting game nor are they as flashy as this game, but you could rank the ultimate moves from Pokemon Unite next.

Charizard should have gone mega Y

Bruh fuuf Legends, where Pokken 2 at?!

Love your accent

It is Pokémon fighting game?

Gardevoir is jun

Play left 4 dead 2
