The Painter Pokémon, Smeargle, for SSB4! Signature Icon Added!

[Tepig2000]

Smeargle, number #235 in the National Dex, is the painter Pokémon. Once it becomes an adult, it has a tendency to let its comrades paint footprints on its back. The color of the mysterious fluid secreted from its tail is predetermined for each Smeargle. A Smeargle marks its territory using a fluid that leaks out from the tip of its tail. About 5,000 different marks left by this Pokémon have been found.

Counter-Arguments

#1 - Smeargle is not important to the Pokémon series

This is 100% wrong. Smeargle even has more NPC appearances than Meowth, who's probably the most likely newcomer Pokémon. In Pokémon Mistery Dungeon, after rescuing Smeargle from Howling Forest, it will join the team and change the rescue base's flag on request. In Pokémon Channel, a Smeargle appears in a television program called Smeargle's Art Study. He will rate the painting hanging on the player's bedroom wall, namely a picture the player made. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, a unique Smeargle with a bowtie appears as the opposing side's Pokémon in the Love and Battles series.

Movesets

Spoiler

Neutral Special - Sketch

Spoiler

The signature move of Smeargle, if any enemy uses a special move and Smeargle was facing the enemy, Smeargle will be able to use this move any time he wants. Smeargle may discard the move by taunting like Kirby.
Side Special - Captivate
This is one of Smeargle's Dream World moves. Smeargle shoots hearths forward, when they hit an enemy, the enemy gets in love with Smeargle. It only works with enemies that are the oposite gender of Smeargle, and Smeargle's gender may be chosen before the battle starts. Enemies in love with Smeagle can't attack it.
Up Special - False Swipe
This was a move that a special event Smeargle had. Smeargle stops for a second and runs forward slashing. This does 1% damage and stuns the enemy, like Weavile's attack when summoned from a Pokéball. In the air, you can choose if Smeargle goes forward, upwards or downwards by pressing a direction during that brief stop. If no direction is choosen, Smeargle goes forwards.
Down Special - Mean Look
That same special event Smeagle had Mean Look too. Smeargle looks forwards with an angered face, and if an enemy is facing Smeargle, that enemy can't move. If the enemy is one of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, the trainer can't switch Pokémon, and if it is Zelda/Sheik, she can't transform. The enemy can't use moves that involve moving like Green Missile (because Luigi shoots forward) too. After a short time or if Smeargle looks away from the enemy, the enemy is free to escape.
Final Smash - Outrage
One of the Smeargles in the Love and Battles Series from Pokéstar Studios in Black 2/White 2 knows this. Smeargle gets really mad and starts flailing his arms wildly, you control Smeargle normally but can't do anything aside from running and jumping, as Smeargle is constantly attacking.

Sketch is an awesome move to have. It would work well in Smash... if the developers were willing to put in a TON of effort to make it work.

 

[FalKoopa]

Looks like a Pokémon counterpart to Kirby's copy ability.

That reminds me...

We do need a Smash-style game featuring ONLY pokémon. Then Smeargle would cover the same niche as Kirby in that game.

This must happen.

 

[Tepig2000]

So... what you guys think about my moveset? If any of you want, make a moveset, pallet swaps or anything else and I will add them.

 

[Groose]

I do believe that you should try to work Spore into your moveset somewhere. It's one of the moves that people always have Smeargle learn.

The moveset is solid as is, though.

[Pacack]

I can't even imagine the nightmares that would come to Sakurai if he tried to make a moveset out of every Pokemon move...but I kind of like it, too. xD

What if he tried to make a moveset for every Pokemon?

 

[Tepig2000]

What if he tried to make a moveset for every Pokemon?

Then all evolutions would be slower, stronger and heavier versions of their pre-evolutions. Then, instead of 649 movesets (more if counting alternate forms) he would need about 400-500 movesets. It would be easier.

I updated the main post with your idea, thanks for suggesting this.

 

[Wario Bros.]

What a funny thing: Smeargle is actually in my top 30 most wanted characters (but he's dead last at #30 since I see his chances are nonexistent.) My moveset for him was his B Neutral, B Forward, B Up, & B Down were all Sketch: he'd slap an opponent with his tail with 1% damage and copies the opponent's move depeding on the input (like for Mario, if he did Neutral B, it'll be Fireball and if he did Up B, it'll be Super Jump Punch). But that sounds severely complicated to code/make but I can dream right?

I support this idea, even if I think Pokemon already has too many characters in Smash.

I dont think there's too many. There's a lot, but Pokémon is the second best-selling game franchise in the world, the only one that sells more is Mario. It makes sense to have a lot of Pokémon.

 

[SuperBrawler]

I guess i will finally support Smeargle.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of Pokemon out there too.

I think Smeargle would be an awesome Pokebal Pokemon! Kinda like Clefairy/Togepi with Metronome, except instead of random, Smeargle does whatever the last Pokeball Pokemon did.

If there was no Pokeball Pokemon before him (he was first,) then he can.. idk.. Shrug and feel bad.

He'd also be a cool character but I don't think there's a solid chance for that. A Smeargle Cameo is highly deserved, though.

 

[Tepig2000]

I guess i will finally support Smeargle.

I will add you the the supporters list.

EDIT: done.

 

[Bowserlick]

Smeargle, as an Assist Trophy, can do a random playable character's Final Smash.

 

[Fortanono]

Smeargle is one of my favorite Pokémon, but it's highly unlikely he'll get in. If he does, it would be really cool though. Add me to the list of supporters.

 

[Souless_shadow]

I fully support this idea! I have always loved smeargle since I was a little kid and played pokemon for the first time!
