I think we'll get 1, and eventually with all the DLC we'll have 5. I suspect the next Smash will have a DLC cycle that's significantly longer than Ultimate.
Pokémon Z-A, and a bunch of uninteresting updates on their mobile games.
Pokemon news
He'd be neat. Have his stand-in for of Dimensional Cape be essentially the same move, but instead of slashing, he does the wave thingy that flips people around or dizzies them or something...probably not the dizzy effect. That sounds broken.
Probably just Z-A and updates for their mobile games and maybe SV. 2026 is when there will be presumably big announcements.
I feel like we're gonna get a trailer for Legends ZA since it's been a year and it's supposed to come out this year (maybe like showing off the starters and some things about how the game works since it's supposedly entirely set within Lumiose City), but probably not a ton otherwise? Maybe like one surprise announcement in there, but mostly mobile game stuff like Go, TCG Pocket, Masters, Cafe Mix, Sleep...
Pokémon Legends Z-A will look really ugly, but it will do something different with the mechanics that will excite the fans, and the story concept will excite them even more.

I dunno what this means in relation to Pokemon but my first thought was "Finally, the long awaited sequel to Pokemon Channel/Pokemon Pinball.

Honestly they'd make more sense than a lot of Echo suggestions. In both of their appearances, they' actually share a lot of moves with Meta Knight, just souped-up. There's usually only a couple flashy super moves they don't share, and so with a few unique specials and a new final smash I think they could work pretty well.
Finally, a Pokemon Echo that actually works as an Echo!
I think:
Obviously common sense would dictate that this activity involved some form of maturity. I mean most of you already said you're hitting or beyond hitting 40s so i thought that was a given but i guess not somehow. Also ofc it's also means Video Game characters only
mostly mobile news
grand is the word. a grand disappointmentWouldn't it just be grand if Litten was confirmed as a starter for Z-A?
There are a lot of people who will claim that X game or character is the greatest of all time but actually never played the game. A certain fanbase was very guilty of that before a certain remake dropped but I'm not going to say who. If you've been speculating for long enough, you probably know who I'm talking about.
For me, it was the sequel to Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.I dunno what this means in relation to Pokemon but my first thought was "Finally, the long awaited sequel to Pokemon Channel/Pokemon Pinball.
Bravely Default would be welcome. more so the first two
I really hope its Malenia instead. She is the face I instantly think of when thinking of elden ring. Hell even the cover isnt the players tarnished its Vyke.
The Tarnished from Elden Ring. Elden Ring was a huge success, almost ridiculously so, having sold around 28 million copies since its release. A Switch 2 port is very likely happening, too.
Triangle Strategy and Bravery Default where great games. I'd like this. Not necessarily support it, but cool nonetheless. Unicorn Overlord is another title I'd like to.mention cause it's so obviously Fire Emblem inspired, to have them crossover would be amazing.
I like her design. I’ve never played the game but I could get behind this. I’m assuming she’s a full character while the Tarnished is the player avatar? So she’d be the Elma to the Tarnished’s Cross? If so, I like that idea. Plus, I’m always saying Smash could use more female fighters.
Yep. She is the hardest boss in the game, completely optional but is the most iconic boss in the game as well. She's the only boss who is considered to be at full strength in the game. Her fight with the second most iconic character Radaun results in a whole country just being blighted. Radaun is also a possible contender but his big scale is part of what make him (also Malenia would just work better imo).
Oh interesting. Smash doesn’t typically go with a villain over the protagonist but I’d be all for it. So it’s closer to adding Diablo instead of the player character rather than an Elma Cross situation. In that case, she’d be even cooler since we don’t currently have any female antagonists and Smash could use more of both. I’m totally down for learning about new characters with interesting stories and personalities. It’s just that I’m growing a bit tired of the blank slate player avatars in Smash.
The player character is just an avatar usually in these games. For example if we were to get a Dark Souls rep most people would prefer to get Artorias of the Abyss instead of the Chosen Undead player avatar due to his importance to the lore and iconic boss fight. Yeah she is one of the coolest female characters in gaming and being an antagonist is also more interesting. Yeah I'm not a fan of avatar characters personally...
I just wish I didn’t suck at games so much lol. Elden Ring does look really cool but I’m hesitant to play it or any of the Souls games because of their insane difficulty.
I would still recommend them even if you suck, From Software is the second best developer in the industry right now behind Nintendo, they havent made a game that's lower than a 9.5 out of 10 in a long time. There are some great guides to help you get overpowered builds and there's always the ability to summon other player's to help you in really hard boss fights.

Yeah, maybe I’ll give it a shot if I can find the game on sale. That way it’s not a huge loss if I end up getting stuck part way through the game. I hear Elden Ring is more approachable than Souls since you can grind and level up. I used to play a bit of the PS1 Armored Core games but I remember having to use GameShark to actually beat them. Too bad nothing like that exists for modern games. Probably because it would be way too easy to cheat online.
This seems reasonable, if a little on the safe side. I’ve already made my stance known on my thoughts on Dixie being an echo but it could work if they really wanted to go that route. Are there any personal favorites you’d love to see in Smash but don’t see as likely?
Elden Ring is actually one of the easiest Souls games due to the way it works, imo. Due to its open world nature, you can go level up and come back later to any area you're stuck on. The game even sort of teaches you to do this by placing a boss right outside the tutorial area called the Tree Sentinel. You can defeat him if you try long enough, but the game expects you to level up first before beating him. There's also Spirit Ashes which are the game's version of summons that make the game even easier.
There are apparently mods that make the game easier if you need to go that route but Im pretty confident that anyone can beat Elden Ring as long as they use overpowered stuff or summon in others to help. They give you a lot of tools to use yourself like enemy summons, and consumables. One of the biggest things in ER to remember is if you are having trouble just go somewhere else and come back later, its insanely open. After beating ER you should be prepared to play some of the older titles with less openness since you have become accustomed to how they mostly work.
This.
There was also the very weird decision of axing Galaxia Darkness, especially considering that the move was brought into the official Kirby games in Planet Robobot.
Yeah, Sephiroth is a great match for a few different characters for intro trailers. The one I really want to see is Sephiroth Vs Illidan. They’re both fallen heroes but Sephiroth is a villain with an angel motif where Illidan is more of a tragic hero with a demon motif. They’re both among my favorite characters in gaming so that would make it even cooler.
I can already see the “Let Me Solo Her” Mii outfit
That would be sick if they did that again. She would have a broken version of water fowl dance for sure in her boss form.
I think that they only did that with Sephiroth because they wanted to pay tribute to the entire concept of a boss in video games, so they did that as well as making his Classic Mode route a Boss Rush.
