STACKS OF INFO NOW!!!![/FONT]
PT has now been played in japan.. so info info info!
now! some heads up form our good friend I.T.Pbrawl central said:Pokemon trainer's starting Pokemon is random. So far, it's unconfirmed if the starter can be selectable like Shiek was for Zelda in Melee.
PT Impressions: Squirtle has fast attacks, but no reach. Ivysaur is the more balanced of the Pokemon. Charizard is heavy, medium speed, and attacks using claws and tail mostly.
More PT Impressions: Charizard's has multiple jumps and his Fly is powerful. He flies straight up and burns anything around him. His flamethrower is identical to Bowser's Fire Breath. Squirtle's Water Gun is chargable. Ivysaur is immobile while using Bullet Seed. PT's FInal Smash is very powerful.
# Pokemon Trainer Impressions: Takes about three seconds to change Pokemon. Colors: Red, Green, Blue, and Black & White (original GB version). PT's Pokemon do not have accessories like hats, glasses, ect.
Female Pokemon Trainer news is confirmed FALSE.
Pokemon Trainer disappears on certain stages. He was not present on Delfino Plaza.
PT:
squirtle is a weak fast characters, Ivysaur is pretty average, Charizard is a slow power character, comparable to bowser and DeDeDe.
Charazird has multiple jumps, I didn't count them. his Up B is monsterous, he flies straight up and burns anything that touches him while doing so, I didn't try his Forward B, but his neutral B is like Bowsers.
Squirtles neutral B is chargable, it's a water gun. charge more = shoot more water, squirtle gets pushed back when doing so.
I didn't get to use squirtles Up B, but it links measly and sucky. his forward B is pretty good, but it has a set time for it. he shells himself and launches forward, you can play with it a bit.
Ivysaurs Neutral B is ok, but he's immobile while using it, his up B is pretty quick and good, and it's a good move on the ground as well, his Forward B looks sucky, didn't use it much.
I didn't see any special "Stamina" element, but changing pokemon takes a very long time, a couple of seconds at least, i'd say 3-4 or even more
thanks to Ism this thread has hit jack pot!
now MysticKenji compiled the info from Curbside_Prophet . so here it isOi, it took a while, but I found and organized ITPs answers. Here
Question:
How did ivysaurs Up B work exactly? like, did the vines catapault him upwards or something?
Answer:
No, it grabs the edge, it's a tether recovery and it's pretty quick. On the ground, Up B is a whip, it does a splash sound effect, and seemed pretty good.
Question:
Is there really no stamina issues with PT? If that's the case, why bother mentioning it in the dojo unless it was a mistranslation.
Answer:
No noticable changes happend, however, there may be a subtle difference.
Questions:
I read that PT disappears on some stages (like the ones that move around, where it'd be impossible for him to exist). If so, where do the pokeballs go / come from when you press down-b? Finally, did you see any other alternative costumes for PT, or alt colors for the Pokes?
Answers:
Pokemon trainer has a red, blue , green, and original GB black & white coustmes. There are invincibility frames when switching Pokemon. I can't really answer the "where is the trainer" question, I only played him once and I was focusing on the pokemon. When he changes, the characters dissapear, it's more like there's nothing to hit, rather than "invincibility" frames. and it there's some lag afterwards, but nothing serious.
Questions:
* How easily did the pokémon get tired? After a few moves?
* Would you say Squirtle, Charizard or Ivysaur was your fav' to play as?
* Isn't it odd to change back and forth pokemon? I know there must be a set order to them, (If it wasn't mentioned on the dojo) But if you wanted to go from say Charizard ot Ivysaur, isn't that annoying?
Answers:
*I don't remember them getting tired at all.
*Charizard was my favourite, cause he always was one of my favourite pokemon too, squirtle was cute and fun. Ivysaur was, meh? Average or so.
*There is a set order, Squirtle-Ivysaur-Charizard. You start out as a random one of them? not sure if there's a way to determine it or not. And changing pokemon is horrible, the Trainer calls back the first pokemon, then throws a second pokeball, which lies there for a second or two, then opens and the pokemon comes out, resulting in a wide gap in which you basically have no character on the screen. It might help in stock matches, in time matches it's awful.
Question:
What are PT's taunts? And what is his Victory pose?
Answers:
I didn't use PT's taunts, you can't really taunt in a 4 player match...
He appears with the last pokemon used, and it even calls you by the name of that pokemon, and not as pokemon trainer. In my match it was fushigisou or whatever ivysaur's JP name is. I'm not sure they say the name, I am sure they show the pokemon and his name.
don't be dissapointed of they'd say "this game's winner is Pokemon Trainer" but show Charizard and the trainer and write Charizard on top of the screen.
Question:
Was Squirtle a really fast or Mario - like character? Did he have good standard and aerials? Of what you've seen and played, ofcourse.
Answer:
Squirtle reminds me more of Jigglypuff than Mario, and yes he was pretty fast. But his attacks were pretty weak, I remember killing with his Fsmash before switching though.
Question:
How are Charizard's attacks and specials?
Answer:
I don't remember specifics clearly enough to detail or describe his attacks, but his Up B ownz, his Neutral B sucks, I haven't tried/seen his forward B. I used his Fsmash and Usmash mainly, as well as Fair and Bair. but like I said, I don't recall well enough to describe, I've only played him once.
And here we have a video that finally answers the question about what happens to the Pokémon Trainer on Norfair.

It seems he has his own platform way in the back, and when the Yoshi lava wave comes, the platforms rises up out of its way.
when more info comes to light i will add it here
