Custom entrances theory

Britain, glaring at you **** yanks.
Everybody should know about pokemon trainer by now, and while I was reading another thread, something hit me.

Seeing as you can be sheik from the start of the match in melee, would you be able to choose which pokemon you start with at the press of a button?

Here's my thought:

Considering there is 3 pokemon to change from, what if you wanted to start the match as CHarizard? Custom entrances making a return. Say you want to start as charizard, not squirtle, then there's a chance at the beginning where the characters enter again where pokemon trainer has the chance to switch to either Ivysaur or Charizard. Maybe hold down left or right for the respective pokemon.

I know what you're saying, why cant you just change while the stage is loading, like Zelda? Well personalized entrances gave the characters a lot more...well character. Appearing in a flash of light isn't very characteristic, so personalized entrances are a lot better, and a cooler way to change pokemon. Maybe the trainer would shout ' Ivysaur!' or ' Charizard!' to know that you've done it right.

I suspect there's quite a bit of lag between changing pokemon, so this would be a quick and easy way to ensure you're who you want to be at the start of the match, without losing those precious seconds.


This theory is also backed up by Wario. His chopper move, he can only have one on the stage at a time. I doubt he just pulls one out of his pocket. I would think that Wario enters on his bike, and that's how it gets into the match in the first place. Seeing as you can pick it up, I would suspect that you would have to be near it to use his chopper move, and not just warp it out of the other characters hands.

Think about what it could do for Samus as well. Maybe hold jump or something and her armour falls off as it zooms in on her entering. That would be a helluva easier way to change to Zamus without FS.


So what do you think?


Dont close this, mods. I know there's a entrance thread, but it's old and nobody would pay attention to this anyway.

Good idea Caael hopefully it makes it into the game... how would the PT appear anyway? on his bike? or on a flying Pokemon?

I do hope that entrances make their reappearance, because they were one of the cooler elements of the original 64 version. I'm also sincerely hoping you don't have to FS to play as Zero Suit Samus, because it's seeming like she's going to be the recipient of Sheik's moveset (which would instantly make her my main) provided that Sheik doesn't make it back into the game.
Those are some great ideas, and I hope something similar makes it into the game.
