Sorry, just playing Pokemon X, a no EXP. Share (Aside from Gyms) run. The game's pretty damn easy with the EXP. Share, but the game can be brutal without it, and I had to get the Exp. boost on all my pokemon just to try and keep up with the levels, as they go up pretty damn quickly in X and Y.

I know that feel.
Heck, I had to restart the game entirely because my team was low level.

Thankfully, my team's still doing decent in level, but would be out of control if I had consistently used the EXP. Share:

Batya (Delphox): Level 36
Watt (Raichu): Level 32
Logan (Zangoose): Level 31
Deviljho (Tyrunt): Level 32
Bubbles (Vaporeon): Level 31
Fiona (Yanma): Level 28

It's a shame it has to be this way if Mewtwo doesn't return. However, if he does come back, I'm just worried that he'll remain a stranger to me again -- I never used Mewtwo in Melee, so hopefully Smash 4 changes that. The collective consciousness around Mewtwo seems to be that he's very popular and a probable choice, so hopefully we'll see him. May the red sun rise on Mewtwo -- bring Mewtwo back into the battle and change him up for the better. Make him bloodstain the battlefield!

If we don't get any MGR music I'll be all like :'(

Ah, on the off chance that Mewtwo does not become playable, I'd really like to know Sakurai's reason. We know that the Pokemon Company is picky, but them not wanting Mewtwo would seem absurd, but who knows. I just hope that Gen V doesn't get shafted. :/

If I remember, before I traded it in.
My first team was:
Driftloon
Sligoo
Clawitzer
Sawk
Grumpig
Drapion
(They we're in their 40's last time I remember before I quit.)

Granted it sucked. So, I reset, and instead used:
Greninja
Swalot
Sylveon (bonus points for it being a guy. It was, awkward, to say the least. But IMO it's really good).
Raichu
Flygon
Sawk (loved it when I first used it, and used him again).
(I believe they were in the 70's-80's.)

 

[Louie G.]

My story team was Blaziken (The OP one), Venusaur (My favorite), Greninja (Perfectly Planned Trio), Absol(utely), Lapras (HM Slave of course), and Yveltal (swept Lysandre with it, the ultimate payback).
My new team consists of Excadrill, Jellicent, and Hawlucha. It's a work in progress.
X and Y is probably my favorite Pokémon game so far. But we're off topic so let's talk about Smash Bros again.

It is very likely he will return. He is very likely to return a few days after the new pokemon movie that comes out this year, that is if smash is out after that movie and a while after.from what I have heard the movie is coming out in japan July 19.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Pokemon X and Y discussion? Isn't that off-topic?

Welcome to Smashboards!
Let's have a Pokémon discussion!

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Can't say that if Sonic's the reason Mewtwo was cut I'd be disappointed. Kind of biased a little towards him.

I kinda found it weird too, I'm a big fan of both.
Either way, welcome to Smashboards!

Eh, I thought it was the weakest game I've played in a while...

...But not as weak as Brawl's Jigglypuff!
Seriously though Jiggs need a major buff. I was disappointed with how she was in Brawl.
Going from joke, to a threat, and back to a joke must be very disheartening.

 

[Glyphoscythe]

We definitely need a Jigglybuff. Sing should actually do something useful this time around. Even if it's only viable in ffa, that would still be better than what it is now.

I don't see what was so weak about it, the pokemon selection was fantastic, the starters were all great pokemon and each can reasonably be used in competitive for different things, the legendaries are great looking, music's great, locations are nice, the villains are a breath of fresh air, the characters are pretty interesting, AZ especially, all the new additions to the series have been done well (Pokemon Amie, Fairy type, super training, insta-wifi, mega evolution, etc.) and the competitive scene is easily the best the series has seen.

For on topic Smash talk...there will be pokemon in Smash Bros.

 

[Opossum]

Let's stop the Off-Topic talk guys. Take all general Pokemon talk to the Pokemon subforum.

Well, if you want my reasons, I'll post them in the Social thread if you want.

So back to characters.
I still hope we get Melee Jiggs back. I have hope.

 

[pikachugamer21]

all you guys that keep going off topic keep in mind tbat doing that is part of why the original roster discussion thread got locked so it's best to stop getting so off topic

 

[BluePikmin11]

Discuss something that's not a freakin popular dead-horse, or make no progress.

 

[Hotfeet444]

all you guys that keep going off topic keep in mind tbat doing that is part of why the original roster discussion thread got locked so it's best to stop getting so off topic

Well, the real reason it got locked was because Noah went on a borderline psychotic tangent about Krystal being a clone, but regardless...

What is there we can even discuss? I'd understand if we actually had something to talk about, but we've had no characters this month. The only thing I can ask is...why? What was the reason we went a month without characters when it's seen we've gotten two characters a month since the beginning of the new year (And in the month of December last year)

We should've at least had Snake this month, or maybe even another Pokemon character for the release of Pokemon Battle Trozei. Of course, many say Yoshi as well, but I just don't understand the reasoning behind this lack of anything this month.

Face it man: This place is destined to become the next Roster Prediction Discussion.

Alright, new topic: If you had to choose 5 characters to be cut, who would they be and why? (Not confirmed)
Tough question I know.
I would say Lucas, Ike, Wolf, ROB, and Pokémon Trainer.

Then why don't we talk about Mr Game and Watch?

Don't forget that you can now sit in benchs and chairs. That's the biggest new feature of the game.

Yeah. She's pretty bad in Brawl. But I don't use her much, so I don't care a lot.

 

[Louie G.]

Walking diagonal man. Walking diagonal.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Snake, Ness, Jigglypuff, Falco, and Pokemon Trainer.
My opinion.

 

[UltimateWario]

I don't know why you guys do these "Who would you cut?" things to yourselves.

I think it's fairly obvious that we're not getting any cuts this time.

 

[Arcadenik]

Pokemon talk?

I really should get back to playing X & Y... I still have two badges in X and I still haven't gotten the fossil Pokemon yet in Y.

 

[Louie G.]

Snake, Ness, Jigglypuff, Falco, and Pokemon Trainer.
My opinion.

I know what I said, but...
NESS?
Are you kidding me? Ness? Cut Lucas, not Ness, the poster child of the entire Mother series who has been in every Smash game thus far!
Also Earthbound is on VC now so hahahahahaha.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I don't know why you guys do these "Who would you cut?" things to yourselves.

At some point someone has to be cut from the list.

 

[Tepig2000]

Snake, Ness, Jigglypuff, Falco, and Pokemon Trainer.

You shall die...

Walking diagonal man. Walking diagonal.

I clearly forgot about that.

 

[UltimateWario]

Pokemon talk?

Goes in the Pokemon subforum, please.

At some point someone has to be cut from the list.

Yeah, but Sakurai's given us plenty of reason to believe that this isn't that point.

Even though it Lucas only Japan only, it has more merits than Ness IMO due to it being better than Earthbound.
It's kinda unfair how Lucas is the hot cut now. He better represents Mother than Ness.

I don't think entirely subjective reasons are good ones.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Even though it Lucas only Japan only, he has more merits than Ness IMO due to it being better (quality wise) than Earthbound.
It's kinda unfair how Lucas is the hot cut now. He better represents Mother than Ness.

 

[Louie G.]

due to it being better than Earthbound.

better than Earthbound.

better

That's an opinion you know. Sakurai doesn't choose characters based on if their game is "better" than another or not.
Also Earthbound rules.

Baloney!!!!! Ness has been in smash from the start, and never getting the bus ride

 

[Sonicshuffle]

Either way, welcome to Smashboards!

Thanks. I was a lurker for quite some time but finally decided to join. Something tells me this time around Mewtwo will be back. Kind of seems foolish not to bring him back.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I don't know why you guys do these "Who would you cut?" things to yourselves.

I think it's fairly obvious that we're not getting any cuts.

I think Sn- No no, he's likely....what about Lu- not a chance, he's likely too, but what about R.- Nope, he's got great chances too...this conversation starter basically just imploded on itself as it ends as quick as it begins.

 

[Tepig2000]

No character should be cut./discussion about cuts.

Let's discuss something good, like... uh... I can't find another topic.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It's only my opinion so it's not a fact.
Now I wanna hear more opinions from Louie G.'s question.

 

[Arcadenik]

Yes, and that someone will be the anti-cuts people after they sit on glass jars.

 

[Arcanir]

I don't know about obvious, the only thing we've gotten is that Sakurai doesn't want cuts but stated that his team can't bring back everyone and apologized in advance, which means it's still a strong possibility if he's concerned about it.

 

[Hotfeet444]

ThisismyopinionpleasedontthinkthatI'mtryingtoforceitonyouasafactgooddaytoyouall.

I won't cut five characters, I'll cut six.

1.) N
2.) O
3.) B
4.) O
5.) D
6.) Y

Best list 2014.

Well, before I say anything, let me make it perfectly clear that I am against any cuts and think that all the characters on the Brawl roster are deserving of their positions. I do not want any of these characters to be left out of the game. With that said, my five cuts (in no particular order) would probably have to be...

1.) Snake (Interview, I guess. Chances are lowered at this point.)
2.) Lucas (Not entirely necessary, as Mother is a tiny series overall)
3.) Wolf (Three Star Fox characters is pushing it just a little bit)
4.) Ike (Could potentially be left out for a newer character if time constraints are an issue)
5.) Uh... Pokemon Trainer? (This is one I really don't think will happen, but I can't think of any other veterans that would be more likely to be cut. I guess technical issues for this one.)
