* '''Charizard''': To elaborate on the previous. As one of the most popular Pokémon of all, it's pretty much a shoo-in at this point. It could take quite a few cues from its ''Smash'' moveset (with more fire attacks!), and have both of its Mega Evolutions available.

[[WMG: This game will have Toy/{{amiibo}} support.]]
It seems that quite a few upcoming Nintendo games will have Toy/{{amiibo}} support, especially ones developed by Namco Bandai games. Perhaps Pokken Tournament will be no different. It would be obvious that Pokemon figures will be compatible if this were the case.

I'm probably sounding like CaptainObvious there, but I just had to say it. It's already been confirmed that there will be no guest fighters from ''Tekken'', but there may be other kinds of references, like returning musical tracks (Hell, the FinalBoss theme from ''Tekken 5'' was already used as placeholder music for the first ''Pokkén'' trailer), cameos, original stages inspired from what you'd see in ''Tekken'', and other miscellaneous references.

Pokken seems to share some gameplay from both Tekken and Street Fighter, and VideoGame/TekkenXStreetFighter could possibly end up somewhat like Pokken.

Added DiffLines:

* '''A Pokemon from a non-Human-like Egg Group''': ''Tekken 3'' had Manga/{{Gon}} as a character. What's to say that Pokemon like Charizard (who, like Lucario, has appeared in Smash Bros.), Kangaskhan, Snorlax, Marowak, Staraptor, Tangrowth, and Gengar wouldn't work?
* '''Jigglypuff''': Possibility for a ([[LethalJokeCharacter Lethal]]) JokeCharacter. And best of all, no one can use the "s/he wouldn't work in a fighting game" complaint because [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros s/he's already appeared in one]].
* '''Wobbuffet''': Either as a JokeCharacter that can only counterattack (''[[SarcasmMode totally]]'' [[SarcasmMode a good idea for a fighting game character, am I right or what?]]), or as a training dummy in a possible training mode.

* Each time you win, you'd obtain money and experience. Just like in ''Pokémon'', money could be used to buy items to help you (as well as more expensive but permanent stuff like bonuses, extra game modes, gallery-related things, new characters and stages...), and experience would make your Pokémon stronger, and maybe even evolve, as an alternative method of unlocking them than simply beating Arcade mode over and over.

[[WMG: The inevitable Wii U version will have an Adventure mode]]
This mode could be inspired by both the ''Pokémon'' series and the ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. It would function somewhat like ''Soulcalibur II'''s Weapon Master mode, but be ''Pokémon''-themed, with the standard ''Pokémon'' formula being adapted to fit a Weapon Master-like mode:
* Trainer fights, wild encounters, Gym Leader fights and villainous team fights could be made into missions in which you need to perform certain requirements, like beating a super-fast enemy, defeating the enemy while both fighters are poisoned, etc.
