Development[]

Pokkén Tournament was teased in Summer 2013, with trademarks being filed around the same time. The game was formally announced in 2014 with Machamp and Lucario both being confirmed. Little else was confirmed about the game until early 2015, when more footage of the game was shown and three new characters were confirmed. Trailers of the game continued to be released until the game launched in arcades.

After launch, DLC was added in the form of events, adding new Support and Playable Pokémon. Boss fights with Shadow Mewtwo were also introduced in this form. The game was announced for worldwide release on the Wii U in late 2015 alongside a trailer for Pikachu Libre.
