The reason Pokken is returning to Worlds this year and getting a balance patch is because of the Switch version that's in development. Said Switch version will include the four newest characters (Darkrai, Scizor, Croagunk, and Empoleon), as well as four new characters; Greninja, Incineroar, Mimikyu, and Alolan Raichu.

That didn't stop them from using Cosplay Pikachu Merchandise in Totem Mimikyu's Room.
So is Bamco gonna pull an Injustice and pay to put Pokken in EVO this year

The patch is only for Japanese arcades (as usual), but they also announced the game will be at the PWC in California again this year.

OR it could just be because the arcade version is still semi-relevant in Japan and dumb gaijin assume it's dead because their only exposure to the series is a WiiU port that isn't being updated anymore. I mean, the arcade version just got new characters a couple months ago and is still getting regular events, so it's still supported.
Looking at that roster picture, the only types we don't have represented are normal, flying, and rock. What do you think would be the best additions to for full type coverage?
I'd say Rhyperior or Sudowoodo would be good for Rock. For flying, the obvious one would be Hawlucha, but we already have Pikalibre. Maybe Noivern or Dragonite. Normal has lots of good choices, but I'd go with Lopunny or Bewear.

Pokken was at evo last year and narrowly lost to Marvel for the community choice spot this year, marvel raised 70k, Pokken raised 66k

...Shit, you're right! How'd I miss that, I even tried to double check if I missed a type somewhere. That's my mistake.
Well, we're even closer then. Just need rock and normal.

Sudowoodo and buneary are excellent choices anon
