Pokémon news (Jan. 8) – Pokkén Tournament: new fighter to be revealed next week
Pokkén Tournament
Today, Bandai-Namco announced that a brand new fighter for Pokkén Tournament would be revealed on January 15th (that’s next Friday). Unfortunately, the hint they gave isn’t very helpful: it’s a Pokémon with “ra” in its (Japanese) name. The problem with that hint? There’s quite a few Pokémon that meets that criterion!
