Location test underway in Japanese arcades
Now that Bandai Namco has begun testing Pokkén Tournament in Japanese arcades, the photos are flooding in — and they’re scrumptious. The Pokémon fighting game offers alternate colors for its combatants, including red Gardevoir and Lucario, and white Suicune.
But none of that compares to Pikachu wearing shorts. Once this game (presumably) comes West, will we ever want to see Pikachu without shorts? I sure won’t. There’s no going back.
Courtesy of Inside Games, we also have a crisper look at some of the support characters (Lapras!) and Pokkén Tournament‘s retro-as-hell controller. Also, thanks to this tweet, a curious glimpse of an aquarium-themed stage with Lugia just chilling underwater near schools of fish.
