Developed with Tekken franchise developers BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment, Pokk\u00e9n Tournament brings versus fighting action to the world of Pok\u00e9mon for the very first time, along with a roster of fan-favourite Pok\u00e9mon to play as. For the first time ever prepare to do battle in the region of Ferrum, a new region introduced in Pokk\u00e9n Tournament that is the stage for a battle style unique to this region, where Pok\u00e9mon and their Battle Trainers compete to see who is the strongest in the Ferrum League.<\/p>\n
The Ferrum League is the new single-player game mode exclusive to the Wii U version of Pokk\u00e9n Tournament. As players win their way through the league, new Pok\u00e9mon will be unlocked to be used as Support Pok\u00e9mon and the number of selectable stages will also increase. Players can also go head to head as two players can take on each other in local or online multiplayer. In Local Battles, one player will use the Wii U GamePad while the other uses a Pokk\u00e9n Tournament-compatible controller*.<\/p>\n
Online Battles consist of Rank or Friendly Matches. In Rank Matches, players will take on the world and rise through the global rankings based on the points collected from their wins. Friendly Matches allow quick battles with others, even friends who have exchanged VS codes or Nintendo Network IDs. Pokk\u00e9n Tournament also features a LAN Battle mode that allows players to connect two Wii U consoles together to experience local head-to-head action at a full 60 frames per second on separate TVs. In this mode each player can use any compatible controller.<\/p>\n
For the first time players will be able to play with the powerful Shadow Mewtwo, a Pok\u00e9mon shrouded in mystery and possessing overwhelming strength. As players win their way through the Ferrum League, Shadow Mewtwo will suddenly appear, and only successful players will finally bring the secrets of this mysterious Pok\u00e9mon to light. Fans who purchase a first-run version of the game at retail will receive a limited edition Shadow Mewtwo amiibo card that immediately unlocks the character in the game after tapping it to the Wii U GamePad.<\/p>\n
By winning through the Ferrum League players will earn Pok\u00e9 Gold (PG), which can be spent on customising their Battle Trainer. By going to the My Town section of the game, players can use their hard-earned PG to purchase and equip new customisation items such as hair styles, outfits and accessories. Pokk\u00e9n Tournament is also compatible with all amiibo accessories to unlock in-game items.<\/p>\n
Pokk\u00e9n Tournament also features a deep Practice Mode that will allow players to practice battling as much as they like without worrying about time limits or HP. In addition to the open practice of Free Training, the Combo Dojo will introduce powerful combos for each Pok\u00e9mon and let players try them out. With a playable cast of Pok\u00e9mon and dozens of additional support Pok\u00e9mon to unlock, there are hundreds of combos to learn and take into battle.<\/p>\n
With the new Ferrum League, a variety of multiplayer options, new battle and support Pok\u00e9mon, and the mysteries of Shadow Mewtwo finally revealed, there is plenty to excite Pok\u00e9mon and versus fighting game fans alike on 18th March when Pokk\u00e9n Tournament launches for Wii U.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
