Gengar Confirmed for Pokken Tournament!

[The Derrit]

Yesterday, Pokken Tournament developer Bandai Namco announced the newest addition to the Pokken roster: Gengar! When the game was first announced, a Twitter poll was held to see what Pokemon the fans wanted to see most, and Gengar was the winner. His fighting style looks incredibly unique - as a Ghost-type Pokemon, he uses licks and deception in combo with projectiles and up-close attacks. This trailer will also remind those who are less familiar with Pokemon specifics that despite being a ghost, Gengar is in fact quite large! Measuring in at 4'11" and 89.3 pounds, he's nearly as big as Machamp.

The trailer was announced at a livestream event, so there are commentators speaking in the background of this early footage. Take a look below!

What do you think of Gengar? Are you interested in Pokken Tournament? Make your voice heard in the comments below!

[Swampy948]

The nightmares really do begin...

 

[Kirbyfan391]

We have Smashboards, we have Squidboards...
Why is there no Pokkenboards yet???

 

[SHiFT_]

Mewtwo....

 

[MintChipper]

GENGAR HYPE

Also did they confirm anything for a release outside of Japan?

 

[JurassicReptile]

That Mega Evolution!

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Gengar should be known as the Troll Pokemon since it is accurate.

 

[Gamr_8]

If Greninja doesn't get in... idk what I would do

 

[NekuShikazu]

Love Gengar's intimidating features for a fighter. Can't wait to see what odd Pokémon will be placed in the roster!

 

[Z25]

Hyped for gengar but let's be honest, Ikumani doing the bug dance was the real hype.

 

[BubbaDuke]

This game is constantly surprising me with it's roster

 

[ELITEWarri0r115]

That gengar though... It looks AWESOME!

 

[Digital Hazard]

So... Metapod when?

 

[Nixon Corral]

So excited for this. Gengar is my favorite Pokemon. <3 <3 <3

Now all we need is a US confirmed release.

And a Wii U port

 

[CrusherMania1592]

BRING THIS POKEMON IN SMASH ALREADY!!!


Gengar is a great choice and since he is one of my favorite Gen 1 pokemon, I'm using the **** out of him!

 

[Greninja'd]

We need a Wii U port of this game. NOW.

 

[Kamikam70]

The other Pokémon don't stand a ghost of chance, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
...Get it ? :3

 

[Mmeaninglessnamee]

I just hope if/when this comes to Wii U, there is as many controller options as with smash. I'm not saying it should support GC, but just more than gamepad/pro controller hopefully.

 

[Sgt-Sol]

AYEEEE AWSOME Now , Genagr 4 smash

 

[SmashJC]

Lol, very cool.

 

[Silvia]

I honestly would've like Lucario, but Gengar is cool too.

 

[SmashJC]

Lucario already is in Pokken Tournament. I would like to see Empoleon, because its one of my favorite Pokemon

 

[Metallinatus]

I am totally looking foward to my Blaziken and Charizard mains.... but that Gengar is PURE hype.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Gengar seems to have counters judging by his Night Shade-like dropkick. Hyped like nothing else, best pokemon out of the roster so far imo

 

[SmashJC]

And Mewtwo?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

And Mewtwo?

Who you talking to?

 

[SchAlternate]

I'm not that interested in the game, but Gengar looks pretty awesome.

I wonder if Zoroark/Genesect will make an a appearance.

 

[CBO0tz]

Inb4 everyone calls Gengar as their main..

I'm too late aren't I..

 

[Banjodorf]

That feel when we have Squidboards but not PokkenBoards.

 

[Shuriblur]

I wonder if Gengar will be the only Pokemon that got in because of the contest.

He looks really cool, despite the fact that I didn't personally vote for him. Can't wait to see more Pokemon!

Ballot for Pokken? What?

 

[cacatod12]

I kind of don't want him to get in because they might nerf him really bad. #PLZNERFGRENINJA

Agreed x9000 with you.
(I don't even follow Pokémon and Splatoon, I don't even)

 

[Your Face]

This looks like it could be my favorite game (besides Smash, of course)!

 

[Soul.]

Shadow Ball (yay ghost-type move) boys. Gengar is looking good lol.
