Well it's more a Mario thing than a smash thing but were all aware at this point that the Mario series has to stick with new super Mario branding, which none of those characters fit into.
Not gonna lie, calling Covid 19 a threat to the world seems a bit exaggerated to me considering the recent stats from the CDC.
I don't expect those remaining stage spots to be filled in honestly lol
BOTW2 and Gen 4 remakes are the best bet for their anniversary's next year I have to imagine.

said. Though I'd argue that Waluigi absolutely does fit the "New Super Mario" branding, clearly Nintendo doesn't think so since they won't even let him into the Wario Land or WarioWare series. I don't really get this line of thinking but I've already said my piece on that (to you even) so eh.
I say we should be optimistic.

The irony is that all the news outlets already knew this was coming. We had tons of websites doubling down hard over this last night(Probably because they had their press kits), and GameExplain conveniently had a livestream going at the same time of this. It was just the general population that was left in the dark.
Yeah, there's not really any reason to believe that Super Smash Bros. won't show up this year at all. All the Super Mario announcement did is more or less solidify the idea that if when we do get the character, it'll be revealed in a Sakurai Presents "???" since we aren't likely to get this, and a Partner Showcase, and a Nintendo Direct Mini.
I feel the same, these presentations are always shadowdropped while I'm sleeping and I miss out on the whole thing
I'm aware of that Tanabe interview, but has there been something else that added to it since then? Because I assume the consensus was that it had no effect on Smash and certain spirits already in the game prove that, but this isn't something I've really looked into that much. Because if so, then wouldn't people have kind of disregarded Geno's chances ages ago, including all the alleged "insiders" that still seem to be pushing him?
Well for 1 it was incredibly recent, and I think its the first public confirmation of it (there was something similar earlier, but it was centered around just Miamotto).
I can't see them releasing Sinnoh remakes next year. I would prefer if they just released a brand new gen.
Alright, but there's been longer waits than this.
Personally, I doubt it.
Well tbf we would still get three characters this year that way. Even though it seems like Byleth released years ago at this point. At least, to me it does.
Yeah I kinda agree with this. If something drops when you're busy or sleeping, it becomes outrageously hard to sidestep spoilers.
That is the one that... actually matters though.
There's gotta be a better way to say that.
...Gen 8 literally just started, mate.
But still, they've gotta celebrate the whole series, not just one piece of it.
Well, Nintendo doesn't always go with what you prefer now do they? lol
It would just be ignoring the legacy and importance of all the other gens by focusing solely on Gen 4. I honestly think that there will be no new mainline Pokemon title in 2021.
Were getting Pokemon Gun and your going to like it.
What, you mean from the company that constantly panders to Gen 1 80% of the time? Speaking as someone who started from Gen IV, some Gen IV appreciation would be nice.
I don't think they have a policy about only having generic designs. Origami King and Odyssey did have unique original characters.
You act like they don't already neglect other gens when shilling Kanto and Charizard. Reminder that the Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos starters never got Mega Evolutions. If GameFreak wants to release Sinnoh remakes,
Eh, I don't think that's entirely the case. It's something that the fans have been wanting for years. I think giving it to them would be as big of a celebration as any. And since the alternative is nothing but a couple mobile events and Max Raid events, I think something like a Gen 4 remake would make a ton of sense.
Not enough versions. We'll be getting Pokémon Sword: Director's Cut, and Pokémon Shield: DexWall instead.
No it won't. All it would do is celebrate one piece of the franchise, rather than all of it. That is why a new gen is preferable in terms of an anniversary celebration.
I think they're trying to follow in Disney's footsteps by sterilizing the IP and making it as soulless as possible to make casuals more familiar with the series. It makes sense with the new movie and theme park coming out, too.
I edited this in too late so I'll just say it again:
From what I can gather, they want to keep Mario's image consisted while they do some crazy stuff with the gameplay. No point in making something unique if nobody's going to buy it. Of course, Mario's gonna sell like hotcakes anyways, so yeah...
And besides, the anime itself no longer focuses on one region. They can easily incorporate the Gen 9 region into the saga.
which is funny considering Disney allows the cool Square versions of the Mickey trio exist.
Not an important anniversary to celebrate.
We'll see what the people who actually decide things think come next year.
A new gen wouldn't celebrate the entire franchise any more than a remake. Any content representing other Gens could easily be placed in either game and fullfill the same purpose. TPC has Let's Go Johto and the the Sinnoh remakes are likely in the oven while their next Gen is being worked on anyways, its not likely we'll get a brand new Generation of Pokemon games this soon anyways. There's usually at least one followup title per Generation be it the 'third version', a sequel, or remake Sword and Shield will likely get some sort of followup before this Generation's over. The DLC isn't going to cut it on its own especially given the extra marketing and merchandising another Gen 8 game will bring. 2022 is more likely for a new Generation imo.
I mean they could do that. But the anime also serves to advertise the current generation. Most of the major Pokémon are from gen 8 are they not? I don't think it's all that likely that they'll just shift everything over to a new gen until they've gotten in whatever subplot the legendaries or Dynamax or whatever comes to a close and the movie comes out.
Nintendo allows the odd Super Smash Bros. versions of the main 4 to exist. Seems legit.
