Players' Poll: The Most Iconic Video Game Character of All Time
Lara Croft has been voted the Most Iconic Video Games Character of All Time. Explore the Top 20.www.bafta.org
The real question is do the characters from BG3 count as video game or D&D characters?
Perhaps, but the point was that another Gen 9 Pokemon could be considered over Meowscarada, not in regard to how demanded they'd be if the jester cat got in. You're mixing one point with another.
That post is about MvC3, the rumor in question is about MvCi. We don't know anything about what made the difference between their inclusion in Infinite, and the idea that they went behind the MH teams backs is nothing more than fan speculation at best, if not outright parroted falsehoods.
Look, if Gen 7 had all sorts of non-starters be marketed and we still got Incineroar, do you really think that's possible? Because none, I repeat, none of Gen 9's non-starters are getting the same treatment Mimikyu got. There's no point in hoping.
I still think Screamtail would be a decent "gen9" rep if we get one at all.
Robin wasn't that promoted relative to Chrom either, yet we still got the former first. Again, it's not just up to who's promoted, it's also up to Sakurai's choice, the possibility should not be written off entirely.
It is when TPC is so strict that I'm surprised anyone considered that leak with Gothitelle possible.
Which would've been when they started giving Mimikyu a marketing push.
Ehhh in a case like this I feel like they would need a bit longer to see if Mimikyu had any real staying power, one cute video wouldn’t quite be enough. Like, by the time Brawl came out Lucario had already proven itself a new icon. Mimikyu was still new and untested by late 2016. Whereas a starter would be more of a sure thing. They always get promoted.
I'm just really happy that Gwimbly made it in
That unfortunately isn't a rule anymore now that they let the boss of Smiling Friends be a character.
Again, they did allow Sakurai at least the flexibility to choose between Decidueye and Incineroar and there were other options provided alongside Greninja. How strict they are on the matter may not be as much as you imply.
There's two answers on this. The first is from Sourcegaming and says that Incineroar wasn't chosen until at least after SM.
The second is from NintendoEverything which says he was chosen as late as USUM's release.
I'm more inclined to lean to the former, but even so that would still put his inclusion after SM and thus would follow things like the Mimikyu short and early reception to Pokemon like Lycanrocs.
Alright, fair enough. It was just a theory
...which doesn't include what I think would be a proper Gen 7 rep...
...which judging by "choose between Decidueye and Incineroar" leads me to believe his other choices were Chesnaught and Delphox. Not that that matters to me since I don't seethe at all over Greninja.
I feel if a character is popular enough in the West their lack of Japan popularity shouldn't hold em back, like Rayman and Doom
I don't think it would have been a serious possibility in Smash 4. Even in a scenario where we would have gotten 2 Pokémon newcomers in Smash 4, it would have been Greninja + a Gen 5 rep (most likely Zoroark if I had to guess). I think Blaziken best chances was in Brawl where he actually got a fair bit of support back in the day (Sceptile became a more popular pick in Smash 4 when ORAS released and people wanted a Grass starter to complete the trio, back in Brawl Blaziken was much more popular iirc).
...wat?
Well, if Brawl had been earlier than it was, we very well could have been looking at Blaziken in Smash if there had been a slot held for a Hoenn mon. Def a favorite of TPC promotion-wise, and very popular among fans. Also would translate very easily to Smash, especially in the Melee- and Brawl-styles of movesets. The other contenders for a Hoenn spot, like the other starters and Gardevoir, have grown close to Blaziken in popularity since, but from what I remember 'ken was top dog back then.
You mean you never found them? Sounds like somebody's uncle oughta find a new job.
They're not "proper Gen 7 reps" to me because I think Mimikyu and Lycanroc are bigger faces for the generation.
Nah that would be Metapod.
I mean I DO think Incineroar is a medicore-ass design but that has nothing to do with why I think it doesn't properly rep Gen 7. I'd still go meh regarding Midnight Lycanroc being chosen for one thing.
.....****, I completely forgot about Cosmog when the joke about having "0 moves" came up.
For their neutral special, Lillie makes an even angrier looking pout. >: (
Mate it's not... Bruxish, these are two of the starters
Deoxys was pretty popular. Had a movie around when Brawl might've been being chosen had it happened a little earlier. But who knows.
The sheet ghost and the wolf were used just as much as them. I should know, it was the last Pokemon gen I really gave a **** about.
You're talking nonsense if you think ****ing Lycanroc was used in promotion as much as the base starters.
Him being the scrimbliest scrimblo is kinda the whole point of the episode lol
I can't believe Pichu stole the Gen 2 rep spot.
Sudowoodo was robbed
cries in Scizor and yes I'm serious
