14. Pokkén Tournament

Pokkén Tournament isn’t the most hardcore fighting game, but it’s a really neat experiment I’d love to see expanded upon. Bandai Namco molded Pokémon’s competitive nature into a new genre, and while it would have been easy to just put a bunch of fighting-type Pokémon on the roster, its line-up is full of inventive picks like Chandelure and Suicune that kept the game fresh. The fighting game lover in me wants to nitpick its weird perspective mechanics, but I still love it for swinging for the fences.
