Does anybody think Sakurai just revealed Sonic to avoid revealing a Pokemon character?
Well, considering Sonic Lost Worlds comes out in a bit over 2 weeks (in Japan) and
that's when I expected sonic to be announced. Or at least, somewhere around that time.
It would have made more logical sense (and been consistent with their trends with showing characters by their game's release) if they revealed a pokemon character this/last week and gave us sonic in upcoming weeks.
So, in my opinion, it's one of two things:
- There's something sakurai (or Gamefreak) don't want us to see until after Pokemon X/Y's release. i.e. news for smash 4 would equal spoilers for x/y
- The pokemon characters are being saved for a later event/time (which is reasonable, since the enigma behind which pokemon characters will be in smash 4 is one of the things with the most interest/hype)
