Pokken Tournament DX brought the fighter to Switch and polished the concept into the version most people actually remember.
Pokken Tournament DX launched in 2017 on Nintendo Switch. It brought the fighter to Switch and polished the concept into the version most people actually remember. It cashes in on the childhood fantasy that Pokemon battles should sometimes look like an actual brawler instead of a turn queue with health bars.
Example
Its 2017 launch on Nintendo Switch finally asked the obvious question: what if Pokemon battles looked like a real fighting game instead of a turn queue?
Why it matters
The Pokken games matter because they finally let Pokemon battle spectacle stand on its own without pretending a menu-driven format is the only valid translation.
