It was released at arcades in Japan; November, 2014 and in North America; December, 2014 and on the Wii-U in North America; February 24, 2015, in Japan; March 31, 2015 and in Europe; June 24, 2015.
== Gameplay ==
Poké-Fighter 5 is credited for taking the series back to its roots. It incorporates a faster, more fluid fighting system, improved graphics, returning characters, and some of the Poké-Fighter series' trademark infinite stages. New to Poké-Fighter 5 is the crush system which affects the vulnerability of a character while they attack. For example, a move with jumping properties, such as a hopkick, will be completely invulnerable during most of its animation time to all of an opponent's low attacks.
It also retains its wall juggling concept from Poké-Fighter 4, but the element is effectively less easy to abuse and easier to defend against. The home version is a collector's edition of sorts, as it includes full arcade emulations of Poké-Fighter, Poké-Fighter 2, Poké-Fighter 3 and StarBlade. Poké-Fighter 5 also allowed players to customize their fighter for the first time, allowing them to change the colors of their outfits, buy additional costumes (only available to a few characters), and equip them with items by using money gained from playing the Story, Survival, Time Attack, the side-story Devil Within, and Arcade Battle modes.
The Devil Within mode is a fighting minigame in direct lineage to the Poké-Figher Force modes in Poké-Fighter 3 and Poké-Fighter 4 called Shadow Within. This minigame follows the adventures of Umbreon as he searches the G Corporation in search for information on his missing mother and other answers. Being somewhat story oriented, the player is not permitted to use their own choice of characters like previous iterations. The game also uses a limited button system, incorporating a Block and Jump button as well as sizing down the attack buttons to simple "Punch" and "Kick" buttons (though, some of Umbreon's fighting special moves can still be performed such as his Demon's Paw). Along with fighting various Magneton models in the mini-game, the player must pursue minor key quests to proceed. This mode is one of the two ways to unlock the playable version of Zoroark.
