Give me mah damn Entei and Suicune already, Sakurai. Speaking of which, it seems like Raikou is like the Venusaur of the Legendary Beasts. People never talk about him or seem to like him as much as the other two

That's because Electric types are already perfectly well-repped in Smash. Fire was barely repped, and Water was terribly repped. By this, I mean Pokemon-wise. Mewtwo had an electric attack, for cripes' sake.

Also, Ice isn't repped Pokemon-wise either.

I'm not counting the Stages, mind you.

Wait, misread your post a little. Electric is a very popular Pokemon thing in Smash. Counting double characters and Pokemon who use it, that's 5 electric pokemon representation. If we go further, some Pokeball Pokemon, Pokemon Stadium 2, Dr. Mario, and I think that was it?

I have a reason to call ya'll haters if you were part of the B2&W2 discussion from last night, which I didn't take part in, but read.
I just don't like they're trying to super-market the two Furries instead of more interesting characters. 4th Gen has a lot MORE than just Lucario. He got his spotlight. How about one of Pokemon like Tangela? Munchlax? Etc.

Zoroark, meh. He's cool in battle, but not the best ever. I'd rather a newer unreleased Pokemon got the spotlight. As long as Genesect is still regularly catchable, I guess it's fine.

Oh, right, let me just say one name that might explain why I'm a little peev'd: Victini.
He was never really shown to be the mascot of 5th Gen in the first place. He was more like how Luigi was at that point.

They're forced to choose furries because they're Pokemon. They just happen to choose popular ones.

Also, still no news of Genesect, but I highly doubt he'll be catchable regularly, just like he wasn't the mascot of these games :troll:

@Falcion I'm speaking generally. I just felt that when I walked into that discussion, everything and everyone, even I, who read it, turned ******** until it finally ended.
One of the comments I'm ****ing PISSED about is Star's, about how Victini's out of the spotlight, which is dumb to say because he's still a very popular Legendary, is still active in games and Wi-Fi events, and is STILL favored by the creator of Pokemon. He's definatly nowheres out of the picture yet. Zoroark showed up on the CoroCoro magazine and everyone ASSUMES that Victini's dead. Pfft... BS.

...And now I feel better.

Pokemon =/= Furries. Only some of them are.

Don't make me put you on ignore again. :|

That was not funny whatsoever. Victini wasn't either and clearly won't be now. Now, Kyurem, however... he has a chance.

I'd say he is out of the spotlight now. And I don't mean for Smash. Not sure where people got the idea he was the official mascot in the first place. He wasn't very important to the games, wasn't revealed first... he played a few two-bit parts in some movies. He isn't even on Lucario's level yet(if at all). I get you love the character, but you gotta stop giving him baseless credit, Asage. Let go of it.

What's good, my man, asage? :cool:

I'm ****ing HYPED as hell after listening to some music, unsurprisingly LOL
Nothing good, but I hope just to RP today, because after last night... Oh look, I have to wash my eyes with salt again T_T

I never knew I was in the ignore section. You actually got mad about that? Lol..? But yeah, I did say it was going to be Kyruem, but NO... Don't trust a Pokemon fan. Neva...

I never COMFIRMED him as a Mascot. I said that it was more likely, but not in game, rather the entire 5th generation, which is accurate, still, because of his placement in the Pokedex and his attention via the Pokemon Company.

He wasn't very important to the games, wasn't revealed first... he played a few two-bit parts in some movies.
LOL are you kidding me?! He was the main character in the movies, clearly showing his power at the end along with every now and then. He showed his character more than Reshiram or Zekrom. Go watch it again before you throw this garbage at me.
He isn't even on Lucario's level yet(if at all). I get you love the character, but you gotta stop giving him baseless credit, Asage. Let go of it.
BAELESS... CREDIT.... Are you ****ING kidding me..? ..I'm done. Whenever we argue, it's just repetition. Apparently all that I've proven is washed JUST because of a corocoro scan showing Zoroark and not Victini. CLEARLY just because of a CoroCoro scan. No wonder why I'm barely here. This is a waste. I'm out.

Well that's Smash speculation for ya unfortunately.
Once people start supporting a character then they start droppin' 'em when something like this happens.

Just stop being a jerk about it, k? That's why you were on ignore.

You're also on a thin line while acting like this. I'm not interested in being mocked in anyway or this attitude. So I'm asking if you could stop already.

I see a lot more attention with Zoroark now. So that was too early to tell. He doesn't rep the 5th Gen all that well, anyway.

LOL are you kidding me?! He was the main character in the movies, clearly showing his power at the end along with every now and then. He showed his character more than Reshiram or Zekrom. Go watch it again before you throw this garbage at me.
He wasn't at all. He just showed up a bit more. That's it. The most important characters were the Box Mascots. Hell, Ash was more important.(not surprising)

Nah, it's just the fact that you can't accept GameFreak only reps him a lot, not actually gives him full credit. They're pretty different. To put it bluntly, Ganon shows up quite a lot in the Zelda series. Is he the Mascot? No. He's important, but Link's the Mascot of the series. It's their importance, not just appearances. Victini... was not terribly important. He's still in Ganondorf or Luigi territory right now.

Honestly though, Falchion, can you blame them? It seems like it could go anyway at this point right now with these 5th gen Pokemon. Personally, since none of them really strike me as really awful or obvious choices for Smash (all of them are decent choices, but they all have some cons, IMO), it's hard for me to decide on who I really think is the most likely 5th gen candidate.

This is why I no like serious Pokemon speculation lol. Just gimme Mewtwo plz kthnxbai

I've been working on my betting roster, so far it's down to either Toad or Krystal for my last spot?

I keep getting hung up on the Retro Studios Star Fox rumor, so what are some arguments for Krystal?

I say Toad. However I do not particularly have the energy to explain why.

My criteria for characters usually centers around how integral they are to Nintendo (quantity and quality), and I see Toad as being ranking more highly than Krystal.

Not feeling particularly argumentative, though, so I wouldn't be able to do much critical thinking right now.

Obviously Toad is the better choice. This is my biased opinion. But you gotta ask yourself this... why are you asking other people to present their case to determine if Krystal is a good choice over Toad? That, to me, tells me that you couldn't come up with a good reason to add Krystal. Hell, I couldn't come up with one if I tried. :embarrass:

Nooooooooo way Horsetail. Black & White are fantastic games in their own right, and it looks like their sequels are going to be different enough to warrant buying both.

Krystal is a very unique character with staff, magic, just happens to appeal to female, furry, and some male fans. It would sell easily. She's fairly popular.

...Toad has popularity and importance on his side. Uniqueness is extremely questionable right now for him.

I'd like both in, mind you. But it depends what your pure Mario slots cover already.

She's hands down the most viable option for Star Fox left (I'm neutral on her, BTW)

But then again, we don't really need a Star Fox newcomer in Smash 4; Fox, Falco and Wolf would be just fine

She's kinda like the Waddle/Bandanna Dee for Star Fox, I guess?

Toad is a great choice, though, my personal pick for the Mario newcomer (though I'm sorta iffy on him ACTUALLY getting in)

I guess I'll wait for Shortie or Chrono to give their arguments. Toad is Toad, but he just seems so boring. :p

I pick Toad, but my opinion is pretty biased. Toad is one of the characters I want the most.
As far as Krystal goes, if there is a Star Fox newcomer, she would be the most unique choice. Slippy and Peppy would probably end up being clones(even though there is potential for them to have unique movesets).

I really, really want Toad so bad. :( I wish Toad was in Smash already so I can have many dream matches like:

Mario vs. Luigi vs. Peach vs. Toad (Super Mario Bros. 2)
Mario and Luigi vs. Blue Toad and Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)
Mario and Luigi vs. Toad and Yoshi (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)
Mario and Luigi and Toad vs. Bowser (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)
Toad vs. Wario (Wario's Woods)
Mario vs. Donkey Kong vs. Peach vs. Blue Toad (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)
Luigi vs. Toad vs. Yoshi (Battle of the 3 Sidekicks)
Toad vs. Yoshi (Battle of the 2 Generic Species)
Toad vs. Peach (Toad's Revenge on Peach)
Toad vs. Kirby vs. Starfy vs. Pikachu (Battle of the Cutesy Heroes)
Toad vs. Ivysaur vs. Olimar vs. Deku Link (Battle of the Plant-Based Characters)

See, I don't think Toad is the most exciting character in the world, but he appeals to me waaaaaaaaaaaay more than the hundredth anthropomorphic space adventurer. I just think Krystal is boring. There's no way to quantify opinions, which is ultimately what I think this matchup comes to.

Guys guys never got my hands on PKMN Black or White, should I skip it for Black 2 or White 2?

:phone:
No I'd play Black and White first. It's not a long game you can probably beat it in like a week maybe less then that if you have a lot of time on your hands.

I am guessing that Star Fox is not going to be adding to the roster this time around. More effort should be put into further distinguishing Wolf's specials from the cast. And (maybe) changing a couple more of Falco's moves (although it makes sense that Fox and Falco would be trained similarly in combat).

Really? Which ones do you think would work?
Probably...

King K. Rool -> Kaptain K. Rool

Luigi -> Mr. L

Mario -> Dr. Mario

Pit -> Armored Pit

Toon Link -> Spirit Tracks Toon Link

Wario (WarioWare) -> Classic Wario


I just don't see them not adding a 5th gen rep. It was marketed as a huge reboot for Pokémon, and it was wildly successful.

And now it looks like that rep is going to be... *sigh* ... Zoroark.

:phone:
Well if all goes well, Lucario may get another chance, and Zoroark would bring a new element into the Smash Bros. world.
