Sceptile likely to be added to Pokken Tournament as a playable character

Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments

Last week, it was announced that this Thursday a new fighter plus new support Pokemon would be revealed for Pokken Tournament. However, it seems that we already know who that new fighter is going to be. An image was published today which shows Pokemon variety show Pokenchi presenter Shoko Nakagawa playing the game. In the background, a poster is visible which shows that Sceptile is a playable character and that Electrode and probably Farfetch’d (although it’s hard to tell since the poster is so small) are two new support Pokemon.

As always with images like this there’s a chance that it could be photoshopped so don’t take this as a 100% confirmation yet, however it does seem pretty likely. We will know for sure on Thursday.
