In case you were wondering, that BGM is a remixed Tekken 5 track. (Makes me wonder if any Tekken references will actually cross over to the title). Well, if there's one thing the last decade of fighting games has taught me... it's that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. I'm no Pokemon fan (although my girlfriend does play the latest games), but dare I say this title looks almost interesting? Even though my Pokemon knowledge is limited, I'm actually intrigued to see how this turns out. (However, don't expect full TFG news coverage or anything)!
 

 
Here are the first details on the title, as revealed by Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada on a livestream after the official announcement in Japan:

According to Harada, POKKEN TOURNAMENT will not use Tekken's gameplay engine and will be "something completely new". The game won't be heavy on technical gameplay and will be focused mainly on action. Harada also stated that there will be no Tekken characters in the game. (Sorry Kuma, you're not a Pokemon. Neither are you Alex). [UPDATE] Harada also stated on Twitter that POKKEN TOURNAMENT will not contain a high/mid/low guard system mechanic. Instead, a "new type of mechanic" will be used.
 

 
Pokemon Company CEO, Tsunekazu Ishihara, strongly hinted at a future console release of POKKEN TOURNAMENT after the game hits arcades in 2015. (Eventual Wii U release imminent?). Ishihara stated that while there are already Pokemon arcade games out in Japan, this title will give fans a new way to enjoy Pokemon... and a "fighting action game" was the natural choice for working with Bandai Namco.

Finally, current Soul Calibur producer Masaaki Hoshino didn't give any particular details about the title... but did claim to be a big fan of Pokemon himself.
