Why Pokken Tournament reminds us that we really need a Pokemon console RPG.

It also perfectly summarizes my feelings regarding the recent Wii U game,Pokken Tournament.

As mentioned inmy review,Pokken Tournamentisnt a bad game.

Actually, its a surprisingly solid little 3D fighting game.

That last one is the real sticking point.

It was recently revealed that theofficial total sales numbersfor the corePokemongames on Game Boy is 210 million units.

And if that is the reason we have never gotten a proper consolePokemongame, then thats fine.

Its a logical enough if no less disheartening reason.
