'Pokemon' fights harder

In a most unexpected collaboration, the folks behind the "Tekken" fighting games have teamed up with The Pokemon Company for a "Pocket Monster" fighting game.

Dubbed "Pokken Tournament," the game trades "Pokemon" attack cutscenes for fighting game play. "Pokemon" characters, such as Pikachu, have featured in "Super Smash Bros." games, but this is the first dedicated fighter for the franchise, with the Tekken Team, who co-developed the most recent "Smash Bros." for Nintendo, bringing its extensive expertise for a fun and balanced experience.
