Pokken Tournament Is Not the Main Pokémon Thing in Early 2016
Something more significant than Pokkén Tournament may be coming early
next year to celebrate Pokémon’s 20th anniversary, as we learned in an
interview with The Pokémon Company International’s Director of Consumer Marketing J.C. Smith, at the 2015 Pokémon World Championships in Boston
last weekend.During a discussion about The Pokémon Company’s plans to celebrate
Pokémon’s 20th anniversary in early 2016, we asked about Pokkén
Tournament and its place in the overall celebration.“Will Pokkén Tournament be…is that your main plan for the early part of the 2016 anniversary?”
In response, Smith simply said, “No.”
However, when pressed further, he stated, “I’m splitting hairs. No,
there’s lots of stuff planned for the 2016 year but nothing I can talk
about now.”If there is something larger than Pokkén Tournament, there’s no telling
if it’s a mainline game, a more substantial spin-off, or something out
of Pokémon’s other sectors. And to be fair, this could also suggest that
there is something (or some-things) of equal importance to Pokkén
Tournament coming in the early part of next year.Source: nintendoworldreport
