It's a fighting game produced by Bandai Namco, they ALWAYS release a game on the arcade first before porting them to a console. This will not be an exception. Harada teased it in the announcement as well.

I'm not concerned with the arcade relesae, I'm actually excited for it, that means a higher quality finished product when or if we do get a concole release!

Tekken and Pokemon... eww...

Nintendo owns Pokemon so it will be on Nintendo console no matter what. To be honest I don't really care if it's pokemons, robots, freakin teddy bears. As long as gameplay mechanics are good... I'm interested :)
