Only hint is that it has the Japanese character "ラ" (Ra) in its Japanese name.

>Next week, Bandai Namco will be pulling back the curtain of another fighter on the way to Pokken Tournament. The announcement – which will likely come with a trailer – will be made on January 15. Only one clue has been shared: the Japanese name of the Pokemon has a letter ラ (ra) in it.
>50 staff members attempted to predict the Pokemon and their reactions were polled after knowing the result. Here are the results of that:
>– My prediction is correct! I’m really happy! – 1
>– My prediction missed, but I’m still glad – 13
>– My prediction missed, I’m salty – 31
>– I’m actually perplexed, so I can’t answer – 5
The color blue represents the people who got it wrong and were salty. The color purple represents the sole person who guessed right.

Lots of great possibilities, shame most of them don't have much of a chance to get in.
I'm thinking it's kangaskhan, maybe tyrantitar, and I have a strange feeling that rampardos has a chance.
>>323170139

I'm guessing it's probably one of the hitmons. Hoping for hitmontop.

When you put it that way, it makes it seem like the staff members don't like whatever the character is. That's... not great marketing, you're supposed to keep everything positive.
>>323176634
Where's the 'ra' in 'Aidoru Pikachu' ?
>>323177718
I like it, it means unexpected.
Alternatively it could mean it's expected that they don't like it.

>>323178158
True enough.
It is Heracross.
It has to be Heracross.
Would fit in a fighting game ? Check.
Has a mega-evolution ? Check.
Different from the rest of the cast ? Check.
Is a fucking rhino-beetle ? Check.
It is Heracross.
>>323178589
Is a background character? Check
>>323178589
It's already in game as a non-playable character
>>323178685
and? there are multiple of every pokemon anon. not to mention I'm pretty sure I remember one of the pokemon in the background still being a fighter though I can't recall which one it was at this moment.
>>323178589
Background mon. It'll soullessly stare at fights for the rest of its days.
>>323178685
Mismagus is a background chara and an assist character
also one of the twins was a background chara in one of the SFIV stages and said twin was selected as a chara, said twin would disappear from the background
>>323170046
>Only hint is that it has the Japanese character "ラ" (Ra) in its Japanese name.
HELL YEAH
ARE YOU READY FOR ガラガラ NIGGAS?
>>323178895
>>323178926
Background mons are here: >>323170767
All of the new characters they've added so far haven't been background or support and weren't in the game in any capacity whatsoever before they became playable.They probably dont want to be accused of reusing existing models for playable characters.
>>323170124

>>323179287
Farfetch'd was always a joke Pokemon and not the kind with the amazing hidden power like Psyduck in the anime. It's the Dan of Pokemon.
Meanwhile Marowak is actually kind of serious and is somewhat popular. Or at least Cubone is popular. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they put Cubone instead of Marowak in either.
it better be Heracross

I honestly give a shit.

The latter, sadly. There was some mild interest before, but with the announcement that the Gamepad is required for local multiplayer, everyone stopped giving a shit instantly.

>>323183501
Little side story, if you can run homebrews on your 3DS I'd definitely recommend Pokémon Rising Ruby / Sinking Sapphire, those are rom hacks made by Drayano. The game is way harder, there are more wild Pokémon to catch and some weaker Pokémon are stronger too.The thing is, Misdreavus / Mismagius are part fairy in this hack.
>>323182682
I'm eagerly awaiting it and will shill it at my FGC locals to have tournaments
WHY DOES HE NEVER GET ANYTHING?
I'LL EVEN TAKE A BACKGROUND APPEARANCE
Am I the only one still upset this game isn't going to be Fighter-type only? They even found a way to include Pikachu so as to have the mascot of the franchise, but all these ghost, psychic and other pokemons kind of shat on my expectations.

I hate Heracross for denying Pinsir the evolution it deserved and trying to steal its rivalry with Scyther. Also for being obnoxious to obtain, like every non-shitmon gen 2 Poke.
But now Pinsir is stronger than Heracross so whatever.

>>323184332
Different types allow for more variety of movesets though.
>>323184332
I saw a lot of this suggested before we knew what it was going to be. Seems kind of a boring idea to me.
Calling it now, it's going to be Kadabra. You heard it here folks.

>>323194014
Steelix would be really cool, probably have a unique fighting style too since he has no arms or legs. It'd be all slithering around using his head, tail, and body for physical hits outside of certain moves.
>>323170046
It has to be swampert
I'm not a fan of him, but there's no way they'd add blaziken and sceptile and completely skip him.
also mega swampert was made for fighting games
>>323170046
Meme game.
>>323194334
I think he wouldn't fit due to the camera view.
I'd like them to add the larger ones as a possible boss fight though.
>>323170046
Bangirasu
>>323194938
It'd be difficult but i dont think it would be too hard, especially since pokemon like that make great mold breakers as those truly unique roster additions fighters sometimes have.
Mexican here
No Hawlucha no buy
>>323195162
Perhaps coiled around the stage?
His movement would be entirely circular around it, and the opponent would have to get up close to do anything of consequence.
>>323170706
Hoping on hitmonchan
>>323170139
CROBAT
PLEASE BE FUCKING CROBAT
OTHERWISE TELL ME A SINGLE FIGHTING GAME WITH A BIRD/BAT/CONSTANTLY FLYING CHARACTER IN THE ROSTER
IT WOULD BE SO FUCKING COOL
>>323196468
>>323196703
but that's just an assistant-like thing, not a fighter on its own
>Gamepad required
How will local MP even work if both people need a gamepad and the system only supports one at a time?
>>323170767
>Tyrantrum
>>323197721
Only one player needs it, or we'll get lucky and bamco makes LAN adapters for the gane
>>323195610
Is Steelix really that big that he wouldnt be able to move around on the smallest stage? The arenas look pretty big. Coiled around them could work though. He'd kind of be like those giant characters some fighters have that take up multiple character slots or health bars.
No Swampert, no buy.
>>323199532
It's gotta be Swampert, we cant get Blaziken and Sceptile with no water starter. That's just messed up.
>>323199532
>>323200152
see: >>323170139
Why would only one person guess Swampert correctly if two Hoenn starters are already in the game? It's more likely the salty guys are from the people who guessed Swampert and were wrong.
>>323184332
Good, you Fighting type-only are the cancer of this game's community.
Go mod Tekken with Pokemon models, because that's what you want, not a Pokemon fighting game.
>>323196796

Gliscor is a possibility anon, he's at least 1/5th bat.

though if that response pie graph is translated right, then im guessing the character leans more obscure than i listed?
>>323202321
all those moves in the anime + being popular as fuck are a good case
here's hoping, he'd round out the "giant motherfucker that throws his weight at you" niche
he's also in that weird unofficial Pokemon: Type Wild fighting game which can be proof of concept i guess

Well, isn't that what people ask for in these threads?
>>323170046
It'll probably be Swampert or something really, really disapointing
>>323206971
>>323210579
Probably means it'll be someone actually cool this time and not aiming for the lowest common denominator.
My favorite Pokemon is Vileplume, but I would be ok with Hitmontop (he would be the capoeira fighter and to Brazilians what Hawlucha is to Mexicans)
>>323182682
Nigger, this is the dopest Pokemon related shit since Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
