@refugee:
While it may make sense to not talk about them, perhaps the mentioning of some games (See: Halo series) bring up another concept, one that's Nintendo-related (See: The Conduit).
I forgot about the series completely, seeing as I don't own a copy, have never touched the game in my life, and don't actually play many FP-shooters to begin with. The mentioning of Halo reminded me that The Conduit does exist, and thus, why I brought it up in my post.
It's an oddball way of thinking, but I guess each person has their own way of thinking, be it unique or not.
@TBone:
I've tried to play the originals, and I'm afraid to say but I'm terrible at them, so I never did get too far. Then again, games with no general difficulty setting I have a difficult time with since I'm not the best gamer out there. I'm usually better with puzzle games and adventure or free-roaming games (See: The Indiana Jones games for the PC, Banjo-Kazooie for the N64, or [Prototype] for 360 and PS3).
Now, to add my own two-cents into the discussion about the Gen V representative of Pokemon:
While I personally did agree to Zoroark (as much as I'm not a big fan of it as I first was) when everyone had brought it up, I can see why people are saying Victini. Out of the two, I'd rather see Zoroark, just for the fact that we will more than likely still have the squishable Pikachu (expected) and Jigglypuff (ugh) in SSB4, and they need to balance it off with something a little less adorable, which Victini fits perfectly into the "Adorable" category.
Zoroark could also use its ability "Illusion" to "copy" a foe's appearance and their A-moves, all the while keeping its own B moves. This makes sense, as in the games Zoroark copies the base appearance of a Pokemon in your party, but can use its own moves.
