Today, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company International announced that Pokken Tournament will join the Pokemon Championship Series beginning this spring. For those that are unaware, these tournaments are sanctioned annually by The Pokemon Company International. This year will culminate with the crowning of the Pokken Tournament World Champions in August at the 2016 Pokemon World Championships in San Francisco.

“Malo” has returned with another tweet about Twilight Princess HD on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Today, he talks a bit about the Goron tribe.

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. The Goron tribe has skin that’s tough like a rock, and a strong body that can even break rocks… If you look down of them because they look elderly, you’ll be in a world of hurt… So proceed with caution…”
