You know, thinking about it, if the Tales of series made it into Smash, it has the exact same problem Final Fantasy had, before Cloud getting in, with the whole, which protagonist from what game should be chosen to represent the series, just minus the whole most popular and easily recognisable character, which FF has with Cloud.

Same situation applies to Dragon Quest, but that situation is a bit easier, since Sakurai and the Smash team can just default to the main protagonist in the original Dragon Quest, since that games has the whole prestige of being one of the first ever console RPG, that set the standard for genre on consoles.

Can't kill something that never existed *insert safe roll*
I mean.

I'm not saying you're incorrect.

But you're wrong.

That's not Sonic 3 & Knuckles either
:denzel:

Whether or not it was just a misspelling or a Freudian slip? I won't tell. :p
I'll tell.

It was Freudian.

Well, how else would Buzzwole be able to do them squats and use the restroom like any buff mosquito?
If the hole buzzes, its purpose is neither of those things.

At least not without an elaborate rig and some very particular tastes.

I'd argue Lloyd Irving fits the bill for Tales.

Most recognize Symphonia as far the series goes.

DQ is harder yeah, but I don't follow that series too well either.

Well, Golisopod's victory was no surprise. Though Silvally did have its fair share of fans. Poor Primarina and Salazzle though.

Moving on, we are now voting for Ultra Beasts: Buzzwole, Nihilego, Pheramosa, and Xurkitree. Kartana couldn't make the cut (pun) while the others are simply too big.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This will be the last Alola poll until we move on to Pokémon humans and the end of Pokemon itself. I can tell you F-Zero and Fire Emblem fans are rather anxious by now.

So don't be a bloke and vote.
.....what people don't realize.....

....Xurkitree is not that much shorter than Guzzlord.

EDIT:
Ah, I mistook Guzzlord for being 15 feet instead of 18 feet.

But still, at 12'06" feet tall, Xurkitree is still rather large.....
It's almost twice Mewtwo's height.

The best part about being an adult is that you can eat candy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week and no one will stop you.

Let's not forget that Lloyd was also the only Tales character to have a Mii costume.

Now that I think of it, I should have went with Kartana over him.

Oh well. They probably like its design alot.

I will admit, Xurkitree really has a cool design.
I'm just surprised it's as tall as it is. I seriously thought it was closer to Buzzwole's size. 0_0

UBs in general have odd sizes.

Then again, most Pokemon aren't what I expect either.


What's the oddest Pokemon size in your opinion?

IB4 fish and serpent pokemon, even though it's referring to length rather than height.

But definitely how short Nidoking/Nidoqueen are... Like, wow....

I found a youtuber named WeeGee Plays.

He's kind of terrible.
Ahh yes, WeeGee.
He's also essentially a satire channel....at the very least, he tries to be satire
There is a less horrific interpretation of why the golf clubs are broken

Because Guzma has a bad temper and broke them
Somewhere in Alola, a certain member of the Elite Four became very upset and did not know why.
Good morning mates. Did you all sleep well? Because it's Alola Time with this Generation 7 poll for the first four hours.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The choices are Incineroar, Mimikyu, Tapu Koko, and Decidueye. Not to worry Primarina fans, she will appear later. And I will plan on making a separate poll for the Ultra Beasts near the evening.

Don't be shy and pick well.
Please tell me this is still going. All the well-liked ones that I dislike are here! (exception being Koko, who gets my vote)>
Glad to see Primarina will be in a different poll, better chances for the best final evolution to win!
Unless you pput it up against Raichu and/or Kommo-o (If yo use either). Choosing between Kommo-o and Primarina would tear me in two.

Pikachu is way bigger in the anime then it actually looks. Recently they've tried to change this with other media.

Bewear.

When I first seen its design, you would expect that it's a small cuddly bear. At least until Stuffel was revealed. :p

DQ is harder yeah, but I don't follow that series too well either.
That's just it though, while Lloyd fits, is he the most popular protagonist from the Nintendo console entries? Cause I could easily see someone arguing that the main protagonist from the first Tales game would be a better choice.

Also, you sure he's the most recognisable, cause Tales series has a problem of being not as well recognised or having a 100% this is a genre defining game like FF and DQ do, so its hard to choose a rep from the series. Plus there's also the whole, which game's battle system to we adapt into Smash, since Tales games seem to have different battle systems from game to game, I think, not really up to date on Tales battle system.

And if you can explain it to me I'll be happy to listen, is it like FF and FE where the basic battle system over all is the same, or is it a series that has vastly different battle systems every game?

I'd argue DQ isn't to hard to argue, because if it becomes to much of a problem being to choose a character to rep the series, defaulting to DQ main character is easy since DQ is one of the RPGs that build the foundation all RPGs built from, so people would be able to say I'm glad this character is here, without feeling to much salt that their favourite DQ playable character wasn't chosen.

Really out of all the major JRPGs, FF really got lucky with how they could easily just say use Cloud, since FFVII carries both the prestige for the genre, and exploded the genre's popularity so Cloud basically became the face of the JRPG genre, like how Mario is the face of platformers.

Also thinking about it this same question could also apply if Shin Megami Tensei was added to Smash.

Yeah, it should close down by the morning. A lot of people slept on Tapu Koko.

Primarina was pinned against Salazzle, Silvally, and Golisopod. Surprisingly, it didn't receive a lot of votes and the latter two Pokemon dominated.

Any Ultra Beast interests you?

It's not quite the same thing but seeing Ash lift a 150 plus pound larvitar with ease highlights the disconnect between the stated sizes/weights of Pokemon and their actual depiction.

Sorry to say this, but Golisopod and Silvally double teamed her in the end.

But you can still give her a vote if you want.

Blastoise weighs too less for how big it is

A lot of pokemon are much smaller than they should be
