Ah, these two goons. You see them cut from a lot of predictions rosters, but when push comes to shove, the majority of people still want and expect them to reappear. Despite both characters sinking in both scores, they still remain as esteemed as the most prestigious of newcomers. Wolf shows that he is bettah than Lucas once again by remaining in front of him in both scores, but it was a close contest, especially from the chance side. This may be the last time we rate the pair... so we'll see if these scores hold up.
Today we're switching gears and getting back to our regular, nominations-driven ratings. You can nominate again! Nominations from March have been curved down, but remain present for the most part. I'd like to take a moment to make a suggestion for the nominations and the way this game runs--I feel that we should no longer differentiate between "Unrated Newcomers" and "Concepts, Stages and Rerates." Before the Direct, we were rating a ton of completely irrelevant newcomers; if we remove the rule that we must rate a new character every day and put them on equal footing with the other stuff, there probably shouldn't be any more days like those of Lupus. I'm going forward with this change, but if I get negative feedback I won't hesitate to retract it. While we're on the topic of nominations... check the thread's second post (the one run by Smasher 101) today to see the sheer amount of nominations won over the last two weeks through predictions. Chances are you've won something in the last two weeks.
Anywho, today we'll be rating two things: Plasma Boss N and "Only Popular Newcomers." Plasma Boss N clearly won't be able to switch Pokemon, but some people always proposed that he could jump into battle without using them in the name of liberation; is this still a possibility? Additionally, I think I also need to clarify "Only Popular Characters" because of the number of clueless predictions I saw. This concept basically says that all of the newcomers yet to be revealed are the ones that we've spent a ton of time discussing and debating, like your Rools, Ridleys, and Chroms. If someone surprising like the Chorus Kids or another Greninja were to be revealed, this concept would be deconfirmed. Anywho, let's look towards tomorrow: we have a dual-concept day up for debate. Please predict how "Chrom Assist Trophy" and "Fifty or More Characters" will do.
