　　Some of Pokken Tournament DX's online features will require a paid membership to the Switch's online service, but not until 2018.

　　Pokken Tournament DX launches on September 22. A playable demo will be available at E3 2017, and more details about it will be revealed at that time.

　　The announcement comes just before E3 2017. The Pokemon Company does not have a briefing at the show, but Nintendo will host its own event starting on Tuesday, June 13, where more game announcements, gameplay trailers, and other reveals are expected.

　　Some were anticipating today's announcements to include Pokemon Stars, the rumored new version of Pokemon Sun and Moon for Switch, but it appears that isn't happening at this point.
