Freshly announced, after it's been hinted for months. It's a collaboration between Pokémon and Tekken and is being made by Namco.
I am so jazzed about this, it's only been announced for arcade machines so far but I've heard this is standard from Namco and their games get console releases soon after.
As characters and stages get announced I'll try putting the details here.

It's being released in the arcades? That I can understand, as a rcades I believe are still big in Japan.

And there are precedent for both Tekken and Pokémon to have arcade releases. Tekken almost always comes to console, but there was a full Pokémon arcade disc collecting game that never made it to the West. But I suppose it'd be a lot trickier to bring something like that to consoles compared to a fighter.
EDIT: I made an initial roster for the hell of it. This'll either prove to be a vision of the future, or a huge embarrassment for being way off, whichever.

Ok, i was pretty sure Namco was focused on making Tekken 7 instead of this, besides:
But other than that, it seems like it'll be a great hit in Japan, more hyped about Tekken 7

Ganon, I like your roster. Personally I'd also like to see:
Snorlax - Body Slams, slow but not that slow, grappling etc.
Muk - Lots of grappling and binding, very resistant, can change it's shape to evade.
Golem - Slow but strong, very resistant, rollout, very big mass, earthquakes.
Heracross - Low flying, horn uppercuts, uppercut centric fighter, great block, great combo ability.
Alakazam - Slow but long range grab, leviation, some ranged moves such as psychic etc.
Kingler - Extremely powerful, good range, slow, big mass, good block.
Gengar - Quite fast, shaow ball, shadow sneak, temporal intangibility, low mass and bad block, bad grappling.
Sudowoodo - Average speed, rock throw.
Skarmory - Can fly and glide, claw grab, abysmal block, big mass, average speed.
Aerodactly - Can fly and glide, claw grab, seismic toss, abysmal block, average mass, quite fast.
Mr. Mime - Small mass, amazing block, barrier creation, psychic, bad hand to hand attacks, average to slow speed.
