You've said it yourself before though. The Pokémon they go with is always the promotional one. Looking at all the precedents, it's pretty safe to say it's either the hot new starter (Cinderace), Urshifu, or Cylarex and not anything else.
And he's still not unique because of the ARMS character.What do you mean, Byleth's range stole Simon's gimmick.
Imagine how angry Link mains were when Hero showed up.And he's still not unique because of the ARMS character.
Grookey and Sobble currently have not debuted in the anime yet. Give them time.You've said it yourself before though. The Pokémon they go with is always the promotional one.

I think you just want people to talk about your sword wolf more. If you truly were being "realistic" when thinking they'd ignore eveeything that isn't a blatant ad for a Christmas rushed game, you'd pay attention to the minor representation box legendaries always get.
People are sleeping on Toxtricity, one of the most popular Gen 8 pokemons and one people have been calling Galar's Lucario.You've said it yourself before though.

Does Toxtricity have its own movie? Highly doubt its even on the table.

Don't think having a movie is a requirement for Pokemon fighters to be added to Smash. And in the case of popular pokemon like Darkrai and Zoroark it doesn't help either.
Well, all of those characters take elements from their own games, or franchises. Some holes had to be filled for sure, and characters like Captain Falcon were almost entirely created from scratch, but we're talking N64 era. Even Ice Climbers has made-up moves, but don't you feel like they'd actually fit in the original game? Who else can we really say that about, that is more recent? None of the above qualify, as all have iconic moves.
Why? Everything fits the character and does a great job of replicating both the gameplay and sheer absurdity of the Phoenix Wright series. It may look a bit odd due to attack canceling but that effect is present with every character to some extent.
The SwSh Pokemon rep would've been chosen way in advance before they would know the reception of certain Pokemon with the public, so popularity means nothing. Also Toxtricity isn't Galar's Lucario; Lucario was pushed as the face of Gen 4, showing up early in the first Mystery Dungeon, getting his own movie, Toxtricity was hidden and nowhere to be seen in marketing.
I'm not saying it is, that's the word that has been going around. Either way Toxtricity is literally one of the most popular pokemon of this Gen as was voted by the community, Dragapult was the only Gen 8 Pokemon that out ranked it amoung fans.
I really dont think Monster Hunter is coming now that we have Byleth. The gimmick he/she would use is gone now. I'm sure something else could get put together but I don't think they'll go for it because that was the best way to do it.
There's more then one way to design a Weapon Master character, and that's assuming that the character would be one since a MH character isn't locked to that concept.
It depends on how they'll handle a hypothetical Pokémon for DLC.
... not really? It's no Monster Hunter or Resident Evil, sure, but the Ace Attorney series is decently big in its own right. The fanbase was certainly big and loud enough to earn him a spot in a Marvel vs. Capcom game, and that was back in 2011 when the series was smaller. I'd say Phoenix Wright's chances at least match that of Dante and a Monster Hunter.
Apparently, you also haven't seen any footage of Phoenix Wright in UMVC3 either.
I'd say on a large scale the three-mode moveset (investigation mode, trial mode, and turnabout mode) represents what Wright does in the Ace Attorney games rather well, at least to me. Collect evidence when investigating, use that evidence in trial, and defeat the opponent in a big turnabout. Not to mention a lot of his individual moves reference details from the original games (like throwing paperwork, using Missile for grab attacks, or how his launcher is a big sneeze, referencing his cold in his college days). There are certainly moves that are more abstract, like the energy beams or orbs that shoot out when you present evidence in trial & turnabout modes, but I'm fine with those because they play into the overall evidence-gathering system in his moveset. You may not have seen him use laser beams or throw random objects in Ace Attorney, but you've certainly seen him present and discard evidence, and that's just a stylized representation of that.
The Pokémon Trainer is one of the most notable protagonists from the series packed with one of the most notable Pokémon in the series, and the Squirtle and Ivysaur are necessary for the gimmick. They are exceptions to the whole mascot thing, but the Pokémon Trainer itself is one of the most important characters in the entire series. It'd be weird not to include him.me and the boys ready to go to the theaters to watch the ivysaur solo film
No but the Pokémon has to be one that The Pokémon Company is going to promote for the rest of the generation. They've done nothing with Toxtricity so far.
"They're old so it's ok" is a terrible argument. That doesn't change the fact that they made up pretty much the entire moveset for these characters.
Pheonix Wright has two modes: one representing his investigation part, and the other the trial part of each case.
Man, I just can't vibe with those stout stubby legs and those disgusting neck gills. Guy looks like a stoner to me tbh. Like his gigantamax form though, it's super rad.
Did Red show up in a theatrical release?
I dunno, of those 7, I have a good feeling about Erdrick and Luminary.
I mean, he's supposed to be a punk rocker.
If you read my post I had already addressed this.
Vol 2 was finalized before Pokemon Sword & Shield came out, so popularity isn't gonna play a factor here. It's gonna be Cinderace because that's the Pokemon that's playing the most prominent role for this generation and current anime, just like Greninja and Incineroar. Doesn't matter what the public reception to them is, just look at Byleth.
Then I must be illiterate or blind.
Look: Jigglypuff was made as a "because why not?" before Super Smash Bros. became the marketing machine that it is today, and the Pokémon Trainer is the protagonist; not including him would be like not including Mario or Kirby. The trainer itself is based on the first and most well known of the protagonists (and is the only one to keep showing up within the main series.), so he gets the region's starters in order for him to fulfill his role. That's why the four of those characters are, and will probably be the only exceptions to the marketing picks. Literally every other pick has been one they've been pushing.
Terrible argument maybe, but a legit one still. The design philosophy has been drastically different since the first game. And in the context that those characters such as Fox and Captain Falcon have established movesets by now, changing them would be weird and not well-received, whereas the clones line Falco and Wolf have changed slightly over time. So old characters get a much different treatment than newer ones do. Hence why I asked you to name new characters that have entirely made-up movesets.
Woah my dude, no one touched Jigglypuff. No need to bring her into this.
" thing, it's just that there's nothing that would lead us in one direction. Trying to predict corporate has always ended in failure. What you're arguing feels more like fan rules. Not in a controlling sense, but more of an unnecessary binding circle of prerequisites.
Another made up rule for adding characters, who's to say that one of the reasons the pokemon company promots a pokemon is because of Smash, Greninja was pushed like crazy and one of the reasons was likely because they were investing in the character barely after his concept was finalized, Sakurai made the decision to add him. Either way there's evidence in SwSh that Toxtricity has some importance to the history of Galar and can be promoted in other media, be it the anime card games etc. As I mentioned earlier Tox is one of the most popular mons from this Generation, much more popular than these 'hot' new starters who's basic stages are much more popular than their final evolutions I might add. And seeing the kind of character Toxtricity is, with his punk rock aesthetic, sound based attacks and multiple forms, he comes across as the exact kind of fighter Sakurai would gravitate towards. No rule suggests that he HAS to choose one of the starters. People are merely defaulting to them for speculation because once again they are looking too deeply at the patterns.
What specific footage of Phoenix Wright in UMVC3 did you watch that left such a bad impression?
A terrible argument is not a legit argument.
I named characters as new as Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3Ds/Wii U. Unless you want to tell me when PAC-MAN and Duck Hunt have ever used most of the attacks in their kits.
It's also been stated that he asks The Pokémon Company for guidance on who would be the most popular. Lo and behold, it's the one they pushed the most both times.
If Gen 8 truly does get a character, there's not much helping us in trying to create a definitive line between who would and wouldn't make the cut in the end. It's not even a "omg people never try to be creative >
It may be quite cynical, but precedence says popularity really means nothing when choosing a Pokémon. Marketing is.
I'll be surprised when we get another Pokemon rep this DLC season.
Eh, I wouldn't be but I'm not expecting it either. There isn't really any evidence supporting anything beyond the ARMS character, so personally, I just label anything that could happen as just plausible.I'll be surprised when we get another Pokemon rep this DLC season.
Whatever it is, I've had my fill of speculation for years to come. Not really sure why I dived into this one, talking about this stuff hurts my head now.
