Everyone has a Pokémon character they want in the game. Some want Meowth, others want Zoroark, Plusle/Minun, and usually most people want Mewtwo to return. I am okay with any of this, but there is one Pokémon that I was surprised not to see a character thread of. That is Axew, Iris' main Pokémon in the anime and one of the most recognizable 5th Gen Pokémon.
Background
If some of you haven't been watching the anime, here is who Axew is. Axew is a Dragon-type Tusk Pokémon, and it has big tusks to go with it. In fact, to me it looks like a cuter Larvitar with tusks, if you know who THAT is. It's Pokédex entries state that it uses its tusks for a variety of things, such as crushing berries and making gashes in trees to mark their territory. Its tusks can break but they grow back quickly, harder and stronger. Most importantly, it is Iris' (a main character in the Pokémon anime) main Pokémon, who, like Pikachu and Piplup before it, doesn't go into its Poké Ball, making it even MORE iconic.
Moveset
It took a while, but I think I made a good moveset for Axew. It might not be very good, I'm new to this stuff, so sorry if it's OP/UP or a clone or something. And after what happened when I joined, I'm a little worried about posting ideas here. But anyway, *gulps* Here goes...
Counter Arguments
1. Axew is not popular enough to be in an SSB game.
Well, he isn't as popular as, say, Meowth, but he's earned his fair share. Being Iris' walking companion in the anime has given him A LOT of popularity. Axew was even featured in PMD: Gates to Infinity as 1 of the 5 playable characters, with the likes of Pikachu and the Unova starters! Yes, really.
2. Yeah, but come Gen 6, Ash will have a new female companion with a different main Pokémon.
You're right, but Gen 6 will be new, so Axew will still keep its popularity. Besides, chances are it's just Serena with Chespin or something, which could fit as a Pokémon Trainer-styled character.
3. Well, that's all fine and dandy, but Iris is annoying and her Pokémon doesn't deserve a spot.
Your opinion. Well, sure, many people think so but still, that doesn't deny Axew's popularity. If you REALLY think this when Axew comes into SSB (I'm not saying he will), then DON'T USE HIM!
Also, please, if you don't like my idea, DON'T FLAME ME! I don't want this to turn into a flame war, so if you don't like it, then tell me how to improve or just say it in a non-offensive way.

Side B (Swords Dance): Axew summons a sword of blue energy and fires it at the opponent. Chargeable for more damage. Does 9% uncharged, and 18% fully charged.

Final Smash (Outrage): Axew surrounds itself in blue energy and gets stronger (like Giga Bowser and Wario-Man). I don't want to elaborate on the upgraded move set, so sorry folks.
