E3 2017: 10 Major Reveals & Announcements We Need To See

3. Pokemon: Pokken Tournament DX - A Proper Story Mode?

In a very recent Pokemon Direct stream, a-re release for Pokken Tournament was announced in the form of a deluxe version, with brand new fighters/Pokemon, and the ability to play in 2-person mode with one set of Joy-Cons.

However, no updates on the story mode were announced.

The original Pokken Tournament was criticised for having its story delivered in small snippets of text after rounds of tedious battles, so it seems like the obvious move for the 'Deluxe' version to incorporate an interesting story like the ones from more traditional Pokemon games; full of twists and believable story/character arcs, all while appealing to our childish sense of violent fun.

An improved story mode would be nice, but a well-rounded cast of fighters and updated visuals will be enough to get Pokemon fans to buy this game, and is likely to attract many fans of fighting games as well.
