what went wrong?
It didn't have Flygon as a playable Pokemon.
>>59658008No one cares about that foddermon
>>59658012People like you are why Game Freak needs to be set on fire
>>59658040not that anon, but Pokken's roster is fucking phenomenal. Even if your favorite isn't playable, there's no way there isn't a pokemon who is playable that isn't drawing your eye
>>59657998I playing it in 2026. It's a clever idea for real time fighting pokemon battles. And Gardevoir is cute with her victory cheers
>>59658008Who gives a shit about flygon when it has garchomp.
>>59657998Fighting games are waaaaaay too hard for pokemon fans.And the FGC only really plays SF/tekken/GG.
>>59658008Unite's doing ok and it doesn't have Flygon thoughbeit
Probably because fighting game fags didn't like it and pokémonfags don't give a fuck for fighting games.Really, it's just another example of how disinterested Ishihara is to making pokémon spin-off games. Tried to make arcadebait, ended up having to port it to a failure console, then port it again to see it fail despite the console's success.

>>59659597but this is Tekken
>>59659661I hit image spoiler by mistake lmao
>>59657998Nothing. Pokken rocks.
Pokemon fans exposed themselves as filthy casuals that after bitching and moaning for a real time pokemon game they didn't had what it took to play this
>>59657998Funnily enough, nothing. The game sold well, the community is still active to this day, it’s just that TPC hasn’t asked bamco for a pokken 2, and likely never will due to the fact that free games sell. …that being said, they totally could’ve done something cool with mega evolutions coming back, but I suppose they were REALLY thinking the nepo baby plotline in ZA was absolute kino
>>59657998TPC doesn't see the point in investing in a sequel.Quality fighting games are normally a high investment for a niche audience.Why bother with that when they can make millions from a walking game.Plus Smash exists, if they wanted to they could just make a Pokemon only Smash clone by recycling the models from SSBU.
>>59659745It may have "sold well" on WiiU, but that's because WiiU sold so horrifically badly, any game that got 1m sales on it immediately hit 1/14th the market share. It only sold 2.417m on Switch, a system that sold 156.59m units. I'm shit at maths, so I may be wrong, but I'm getting 1/64 for that return. Jesus New Snap sold almost as much and it was released in '21 (2.4m for that).
>>59657998Fighting games are too niche for normies. It did alright considering that. A platform fighter would have sold like hotcakes, but Nintendo probably doesn't want GF cutting into the Smash Bros audience with a clone.
>>59657998garbage roster and perspectiveneeded better mon picks and to have the traditional 2d view
>>59659819im actually shocked they havent done a complete smash ripoff with just pokemon stuff. minimal risk/effort with high reward is gamefreaks thing. im pretty sure sakurai would go postal if he worked as hard as he did for so long though and fucking gamefreak just copypasted his shit and outsold him lol
>>59659865I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo bars them from doing it in their contract. Smash Bros is a big deal for them and they wouldn't want a major competitor on their own console. They have enough leverage to tell TPC not to go there.
>>59657998Two major factors> the switching between 2D and 3D is flatout inconsistent, so you end up switching between 2 different perspectives constantly> releasing it to the Wii U was a big mistake. Those who bought it there had no reason to pay again for the “enhanced” version
>>59659857stopped reading
>>59659955>the switching between 2D and 3D is flatout inconsistent, so you end up switching between 2 different perspectives constantlywould you rather a Pokken 2 go full 2D or full 3D?
I’ve owned this game for years and have only played it like twice because I cannot get the hang of the two “modes” of combat. I should commit to it though it is a really fun idea, I hope it gets a Switch 2 patch.
>>59659857It becomes 2-d fighting 50% of the time . It's kind of weird how it's an important mechanism
>>59657998Nothing really, it's a fun game. It just has dogshit netcode because Namco are retarded.
>>59660638That's not *100%* of the time.
