Why is Greninja not in Pokkén Tournament/DX?
I knew that Masahiro Sakurai has included Greninja as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3Ds and Wii U over its popularity, while Bandai Namco Studios refused to include Greninja, including as a playable fighter, NPC supporter or background character or mention, for Pokkén Tournament, including its deluxe Switch version. Now I wonder why you think that Greninja is not in Pokkén Tournament, including its deluxe Switch version? Please let me know, thanks.😉

Maybe they wanted to keep it Smash Bros. exclusive, or avoid comparisons between the two games and how they handled the same character?
Maybe there are some weird and specific rights issues that mean Greninja can't be used in a third party game?
Maybe they felt that they would rather focus on other Pokémon by the time Pokken released?
Maybe the developers felt they couldn't deliver on the character in a satisfying way? Maybe they felt there was too much Greninja exposure in other media?
Or maybe they just hate the character?
Unless we get official word on it, who can really say?

most likely the decision made by the Pokken creative team. It could be possible that since Greninja is in Smash Bros to avoid any further conflict.
