Why, because he wears a hood and is edgy™ ?
I never got the belief that Decidueye was edgy, considering how dorky it is.
Either Decidueye or Lycanroc, that's for sure.
Considering that based on what Sakurai said Lycanroc was never a contender, I think we can safely drop it from the equation.
I JUST REALIZED DUNKEY WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG
i think you may be reading a little too much into that, of course ash beat hau, he may never win a pokemon league but he always beats his rivals and stuff that shouldnt be possible happens in the anime all the time
If you think Decidueye had it rough, you should've seen Primarina in the next episode.
I don't see why the anime should put you off the franchise honestly.
Well, I do hope you feel better with time. However please also do bear in mind Decidueye isn't the only one to get such treatment.
how can you be anonymously part of the roster?
I think what he meant was that Decidueye became a special character among all those who are asked.
ok but thats not what anonymously means, it doesnt really work for that explanation
It's just a video game, mate. An electronic toy that you drop $60 to play and have fun with. Hating all these random people because Decidueye didn't get in is... well, you can fill in the adjectives I was thinking about putting here.
Any pokemon is a fad pokemon, people are only humoring the idea of Rillaboom because it is grass type, to complete the "elemental trio" ocd people have. A lot of people did for Decidueye too but also genuinely loved and even recognised by Sakurai so it wasn't just an "elemental trio" pick that people think Sakurai is shallow enough for. If anything the fire type evo will be chosen for its basic humanoid shape and clear kick based fighter, all modern pokemon picks in smash have been very basic tropes.
The Lycanroc thread is more active because its OP contributes more to the thread, combined with the belief that the Pokemon Company supports it more.
Decidueye wasn't a fad pick. It was phenomenon and cultural to Smash speculation like Geno. Its a classic Pokémon, especially in comparison with the current Starters.
well hes the fully evolved form of japan's favourite gen 7 pokemon i imagine his popularity will stick around, also i really dont see how he would end up anything like pit, people love decidueye and thats not ever changing
Japan's love of Piplup doesn't necessarily transfer over to Empoleon.
Yeah, he'd be a much more awkward character.
bit early to bury him surely
No it isn't, considering that all of SSBU's DLC newcomers, even Piranha Plant, are more fanservicey than picking another new starter over an established favorite could be.
might not take long for it to become an established fan favourite didnt take long for others to do so, we haves 9 out of 10 fan favourites to be fair
Even then, Nintendo/Sakurai might want to do something other than "pick whatever new starter has an obvious fighter archetype". With mobile games not getting the new batch of Pokemon for a while, there's a good reason to do this.
Well the only reason they usually need is sakurai wants it and nobody seems to know what’s going on in his head
As well. But I have the impression that the drum could also serve as a shield.
why would intelleon be a greninja echo?
but their body types dont really match, and the theres the moves that use the tongue, the water kunai wouldnt make sense, the change is stance would likely affect the moveset, i dont really think hed work as an echo hed be better off being unique
