In other words, if you level up Braixen several levels and allocate skill points for her, those points are exclusive to Braixen. It is Pokemon so leveling up had to be thrown in somehow, but if you play for a long time with one Pokemon and want to switch it up, your skill points don’t transfer over when you use another Pokemon.
Don’t worry if you regret where you put that point as you can reallocate them from the My Town option on the map screen. Each time your Pokemon levels up you gain a skill point that you can use to increase your attack, defense, or the effectiveness of your gauges. While the gold can be spent on things like avatar outfits, experience helps level up your Pokemon similar to the core games. When you battle opponents outside of Practice mode, you’ll gain gold and experience after each battle. The drawback to all of this is that while using a Burst Attack doesn’t immediately drain what’s left of your synergy gauge (meaning you’ll remain in synergy burst), you can only use one Burst Attack per Synergy Burst so you can’t spam them. You can also pick up some items on the ground during the battle to increase the synergy gauge, but unless you pick up several at once it doesn’t help too much.

Once it’s full you can activate a synergy burst which will increase your attack power for a limited time and give you access to a Burst Attack which is kind of like Street Fighter V’s critical arts in that they deal massive damage and can be combed into if timed correctly. You’ll also have a synergy gauge that fills up as you deal and take damage. Once your support gauge is filled up you can call in your support Pokemon to activate some sort of effect or deal some damage to your opponent. You can have up to three pairs of support Pokemon set and you’ll choose one of those sets prior to most battles, then you’ll choose one of the two Pokemon in that set to use each round (you can switch support Pokemon between rounds). You start out with three pairs of support Pokemon and more are unlocked as you progress through the Ferrum League. During each battle you’ll also have access to a support Pokemon. It’s recommended that you start out with Practice which puts you through not only the basics of how the game works, but once you get that down you’ll unlock the option to practice a Pokemon’s moves and several combos which lets you get a feel for each Pokemon.Įach Pokemon has their own sets of weak attacks, strong attacks, and special attacks which are things such as Leech Seed, Fire Blast, and other special attacks you see in the core games. After all, this is a Pokemon game so there has to be a Pokemon League of some sort. After creating your avatar and choosing a partner Pokemon (don’t worry, you can change your partner at any time) you have several options you can choose from such as online battles, practice, single battles, and league battles. Pokken Tournament is a one-on-one Pokemon fighting game that sounds like it belongs in the Tekken series, but the biggest similarities are the name, publisher, and the fact it’s a fighting game. Welcome to Pokken Tournament for the Wii U. Imagine if there was a game in which two Pokemon could battle it out one-on-one in real time similar to the anime, minus shouting commands at your TV.

Even the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series has a somewhat turn-based combat to them. Yes the core series and even a few others have one-on-one Pokemon battles, but those are typically turn-based. However, there’s always been one genre that was never made into a Pokemon game fighting games. I’ve been a fan of Pokemon since around the time it came out in the US and own a lot of the spin-off titles in the franchise such as Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Colosseum, and Pokemon Snap.
