Someone accused me of being capitalistic just because I think it should have a decent amount of first party characters. It's nothing like multiversus where they put in characters nobody wants to promote ****. Byleth and arms, Xenoblade have fan bases. Black Adam doesn't.

Half of Byleth's fan arts are them banging Edelgard (mostly by the female version).

And Goldeen is also used as the useless "splash around" Pokeball summon rather than the expected Magikarp as a reference to Misty's Goldeen from the anime.

That too. Also, Beedrill as a Pokeball is pretty much an anime thing.

There's probably more minor ones, usually a few Poke Balls, though later games might reference the video games better with them, but that's partially due to having actual good animations after Stadium released. It was a bit easier to imagine how they'd look in 3D and all~

So, does Nintendo own the rights to the anime Pokemon sounds now after 4Kids and their rights dissolved? Or does Sakurai just love to make my ears bleed whenever Kyogre shows up on screen for accuracy to the source material? :nifty:

She gets a very good amount of attention. Nowhere near as much as Edelgard, but despite her popularity ranking, I'd say she gets as much attention as some of the other high contenders like Dimitri, Claude, Lysithea, Hilda, etc.

To be clear, the theme songs in the US like the opening themes and many of the vocal ones would've been licensed(though I'm not sure if they were all made by 4Kids). A lot of the OST music was in the JP version as well. I.E. Pokemon Gym Theme, Bike Theme.

So it depends what you're referring to. Vocal themes I don't know as I said, but it's unlikely to be gotten for, as it's not worldwide. Getting any anime OST otherwise is a different license. However, according to Sakurai, he often just asks the various companies to send what music they want. If anime music isn't chosen in general, that's why.

Or they had enough chosen. Notice how a lot of special boss themes aren't there? Same thing. They ultimately had enough chosen they were satisfied. Hell, the Sonic OST really needs better options. We have tons of multiplayer music that's fitting for "battling people", and they're all gone. They skipped all of Shadow's themes either way, despite them being good.

There may also be factors of licensing the music from the creators, limiting their options. A song being in one's game doesn't mean they fully own it. Remember all that Michael Jackson music that was kept in later renditions of Sonic 3? Exactly~

Leaving the gross and weird nature of Hyper's original post aside, literally every major character in Three Houses is a war criminal lol. The whole point is that none of them are saints.

Except Claude. Claude is a saint and objectively the correct answer. That’s the Golden Deer for ya. :troll:

Same here, as well as playing the other NES Kunio-kun games.

I played Fighting Spirit (the tournament fighter/wrestling one) on a famiclone and it was one of my favorite games even in all Japanese
I should get the Kunio-Kun collection to play that again

Also the idea of a dude spiking dodgeballs as a weapon is really funny to me

If you mean Nekketsu Fighting Legend, yeah, that game is pretty fun. Though, I admit, I only play the Battle Mode, as I'm not really interested in having Kunio or Riki as just my teammates. I'd rather play as the characters themselves.

Speaking of the dodgeball, I've been thinking about how that could be used in their moveset in Smash. Both Kunio and Riki could even each have their own Power Shots, done exactly like they how did them in Super Dodgeball.

Some are speculating that gen 10 Pokemon will be released in 2026, but I'm guessing it will be at least earlier, sometime in 2024, 2026 is my guess though that's not sure gen 11 versions will be released.

I'm not expecting that unless the Switch's successor comes out in 2024 and the Nintendo execs are paranoid that it will fail so they basically force Game Freak to rush Gen 10 to market.

I wrote this because I read somewhere that by releasing the 10th generation versions in 2026 it will be a way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. At least that's what I read, now how true it is I'm not sure.

All jokes aside, and even ignoring his Three Hopes incarnation here and only talking about Three Houses, Claude is still a war criminal in Three Houses.

The invasion of Fort Merceus where he and the rest of the army disguise themselves as Imperial soldiers to ambush them is a clear cut case of perfidy, which is an incredibly serious war crime.

I know the topic of what I'm writing now is very early, it's still the beginning, how naturally it takes four days and a week for the new Pokémon anime series with Liko and Roy to come out, but since Ash isn't the protagonist now got me thinking, will Liko and Ryo continue to be the protagonists in future Pokémon anime series based on future versions of Pokémon, or will every anime series based on future Pokémon from now on have generations its own protagonists? This of course, remains to be seen.

Either way Liko and Roy would never be in Smash. If Ash couldn't get in despite being protagonist for more than 20 years, I don't see why they would go with the new protagonists, even if they stay protagonist or change every season.

I agree that none of these three characters will come in any Super Smash Bros. games, but I'm not saying or writing that they will come in Super Smash Bros. games, I'm just writing about whether Liko and Roy will continue to be the main characters and in future seasons of the Pokémon anime series that will be based on future games in the Pokémon franchise or change protagonists there as well depending on the new releases.
