I've been playing Balanced Hackmons for the past few hours and it is ludicriously difficult. I'd say it's the hardest Pokemon mode I've played yet.

I've lost so, so, so, so many matches it's not even funny. It's so hard to account for EVERYTHING. Literally every pokemon can use every move and every ability and every item. Oh shit, it's a Gourgeist? Wtf is it going to do?! Welp. It's apparently contrary Gourgeist with V-create, Draco Meteor, and Leaf Storm.

Anyway, here's my current team setup. It's doing the best so far, with three wins in a row:

By the way, if you get any ideas of doing something funny like Geomancy Simple Xerneas... you better think again. Ditto's imposter isn't just for Ditto any more. ANY of the enemy's team can be a Ditto and your +3 Xerneas will be fucked. I learned this lesson the hard way. This is why I don't have a single stat boost in my entire lineup.

Edit: Oh, and apparently only really hardcore Pokemon players play this mode. Compounding the difficulty.

Pokken Tournament is now a thing. Tsunekazu Ishihara accidentally let slip that it would be coming out for arcade first, so no worries about that.

Wow. I thought I would never see a Pokemon crossover stranger than Pokemon Conquest, but nope.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

So I see they have found a way to get me to learn how to properly play fighting games.

Is it going to be outside of Japan?

[Furtuka]

The odd thing is, I find myself most impressed by that Lucario has actual textures on him. He looks kinda fluffy

[Thexor]

The world's fuzziest, most cuddly Steel-type.

It is because his "steel" aspect is entirely in his spikes.

Sadly this isn't the weakest claim to steel type I've seen in Pokémon...

Mawile doesn't really look like a Steel-type.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

I assume it is in the big jaw, either specifically the teeth or the thing as a whole.

[Neonivek]

Mawille you at least fight it under ground in a steel cave... so you could surmise that its jaws are metal.

[MaximumZero]

So, how many of you nerds are going to buy Pokemon art academy? Just saw it in the pre-order list today.

But his.... spirit is metal. Yes, that must be it.

It looks like Pokken Tournament is being developed by Tekken and Soul Calibur team members in part. if I get to combine my love of Pokemon with my love of 8 way run fighting games (basically just Soul Calibur II) I will be a happy camper indeed.

Now imagine if the creators of the Dragon ball fighting games made their attempt at this.

Here's another awesome underrated pokemon. Durant!



He may not look like much, but appearances can be deceiving. If any of you don't know what Durant does, what do you think this thing is good at? Anyone?

Did you know it has incredible speed combined with ridiculously high defense and attack? Hell, almost everyone I fight doesn't know that Durant is actually faster than guys like Infernape and Cobalion. Think about that for a second. This is a sweeper / wall-breaker that has ridiculously high defense but is faster than half the other sweepers in the game.

Not enough for you? Look at his ability "hustle". It turns meh-ish moves like x-scissor into destroyers. Hell, look at his coverage. He can fight anything. Rock slide, stone edge, iron head, x-scissor, superpower. The list goes on.

He even has baton pass what the fuuuuck.

In fact, this guy is so rare and only used for one single purpose that you can absolutely mindgame opponents. The only time people tend to see Durant is when someone wants to do a truant entrainment switch into a shadow tag Gothitelle. But almost everyone knows this trick and know how to counter it. Conversely, because you know everyone knows this trick, you can next level mindgame them by using a proper Durant with a proper Gothitelle and then act like you're going to entrainment. Except instead of wasting your turn, you completely wreck the opponent who thinks you're an idiot.

He's strong as shit, can 0HKO half the entire pokemon roster with a choice band, outspeeds more than 70% of them, has more physical defense than a Tyranitar, and is only weak to one single thing. This guy will win all your games.^*

_{*Note: Durant will get obliterated by prankster users, Blaziken, and any other speedy fire / special attack users.}
