Bandai Namco Teases New Characters for Pokkén Tournament

The official Bandai Namco YouTube page uploaded a video officially advertising an update for Shadow Mewtwo, Braixen and Garchomp to Japanese Arcades. The announcement is innocuous enough–until they slip in an announcement that “New Battle Pokémon are Set to Join!”

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Reddit data miners discovering new files in 1.3 that reference three Pokémon not in the game: Empoleon, Darkrai, and Scizor. You can read more into the data itself here.

While the identity of the future Pokémon may be in the air, this video release certainly does nothing to remove the speculation caused by the data miners. Though this does make one wonder why no announcement surrounding this video made its way to the E3 floor.
