I would be pretty happy. Yuri is a cool character and my second favorite Tales protagonist after Velvet. While I prefer Velvet and think she would have a more interesting moveset, I would be perfectly fine with Yuri. I never really liked Lloyd so I wouldn’t be bothered at all not getting him.
If you honestly thought that you wouldn’t be saying it is a Pokémon.
Byleth was revealed in a dedicated showcase and Sakurai did say we'll be waiting a while for the final character announcement. Though since I posted this, others in this thread have convinced me that it's gonna be sooner rather than later.
Bruh why would you even suggest this when the Zero collection is now both easily found and at a fair price?
I don’t know, it could be a Pokémon from Legends of Arceus or whatever that they’ll have to reveal more info for first before revealing that it’s in Smash.
I think it's gonna be specifically from Gen 8. You know damn well I wouldn't be opposed to what you're proposing, I'm just being realistic.
Yes but I wanted to think of a situation where a Pokémon would have a reason to be revealed in December.
Legends Arceus is literally too new for pass 2.
To be fair I would be talking about a Pokémon that appeared earlier in the series rather than a fully new character. Even then, Pokémon are easier to design a moveset from with just sketches since you don’t have to represent the whole game‘s lore but just the few keywords that define the design.
The #MonsterRancher series makes its triumphant return on Nintendo Switch, Steam, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, with Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX!

I'd be annoyed they went for another Third Party RPG over Golden Sun...again. I'd be doubly annoyed they didn't at least pick Lloyd
Lucario is already in Smash, it’s not going to be a Gen 4 Pokémon.
I think I'm done with starters in Smash. Decidueye is the only exception because I have actual personal reasons to want him and it's not like he will actually be in the game, but the Gen 8 starters bore me to tears in every way possible.
Aight what are we betting
I mean you can find that in any fandom. Some more than others, of course, but what you're saying isn't that different from Final Fantasy or Persona, to name 2 examples, where you can see a lot of fans constantly making fun of any entry that isn't their favorite one.
Well at least Vesperia was fun and interesting to play for me. I started Berseria but stopped for the moment after like 10 hours, maybe I wasn't in the mood for it which is something that happens with me from time to time, but idk, I didn't like the combat so far.
To be fair, Pokémon has a lot going against it by normal standards. Not only did they get a Gen 7 rep in Base Ultimate (we've not had repeats of series in Ultimate yet), Sword and Shield got a spirit event, and the game came out in 2019, which is much later than all the other new first party reps.
I get the feeling, did not care for the gameplay at all but the characters and story had me hooked so I kept going on unlike Symphonia which started out as somewhat intruiging but after 18 hours and the 8th party member never really felt like it picked up
That's just how all JRPG series work my man.
Pokémon is an automatic base roster addition, not dlc material.
That's kinda funny because I think I didn't have that problem with Symphonia at all, I completed the game without any breaks, unlike Vesperia or Berseria now, but I was more interested in the characters and the story of Vesperia and Berseria.
What's he gonna do? Hop on the deck and flop like a fish?
So is Fire Emblem. The moment there's a relevant thing to pull a character from with these series, they will do it.
I don't disagree, especially since the last Fire Emblem game was leaps and bounds better than the last Pokémon game, though that's the equivalent of comparing high quality chocolate with actual ****.
We don't know if spirit events mean anything for characters. It's all hypothetical.
I feel like Vesperia and Graces had the best gameplay in the series and Berseria had the best story in my opinion. Tales never really had amazing overall narratives but they really excelled in character interactions. The characters are usually so enjoyable that you don’t really notice the plots are kind of lacking. They remind me of Fire Emblem: Three Houses in that way. They were also a ton of fun to play co-op which is why I’m disappointed that Arise is single player only.
Yeah, I enjoy them at least. I feel like their strong point is the fun dialogue between the characters like I’ve mentioned above. The only Tales game I felt wasn’t that great is Zestiria.
Isn't that one on the Switch or on another past console?
You can say the same for most character-driven JRPGs.
Zestiria is on the PS3. I don’t think it’s been brought over to the Switch. You’re probably thinking of Vesperia.
Yeah, I don't follow the series. Thanks for the info and I might look into it.
if I had to rank sega characters in order of how likely sega are to pick them to least likely then I’d probably put it in this order (btw not that familiar off the franchises apart from sonic and puyo puyo so I’m going with what I know from sega franchises and sales wise)
There are a lot of good choices but my first pick would be a Yakuza character. They can go either with Kiryu or Ichiban, both are great. For the stage, Millenium Tower feels like a no-brainer. For tracks, I'd rather have them pull from all main games which would give us something like this:
