Yes to Ray and Sceptile. Indifferent to Starfy. And straight up no to Spyro, he doesn't belong in Smash
So, let's say Smash NX becomes a thing, and that as a bonus we get a bunch of vets back.
How would you handle Pokemon Trainer? Give him a new third Pokemon to replace Charizard? Have him as a stand alone summon character? Bring back Squirtle and Ivysaur as stand alone characters and simply have him in the background when any of his three Pokemon are used? Maybe even have him keep his Brawl gimmick, but allow him to chose from ANY three Pokemon in the game, although the Pokemon would obviously lose their down b and be subject to the stamina gimmick. Maybe something I haven't thought of?
I'd have him summon Pokemon to attack for him. And make him use HM for specials
As of late, I've been conducting some Gfaqs polls to gauge what people are most interested in. I do it yearly, and this is the third round: (The first one never went very far, though...)
Mario:

Donkey Kong:

Some of these will be expected, but it's interesting to see more controversial ones. Ex: Waluigi seems to have Paper Mario beaten, which is unusual.
Daisy getting high votes in a Gamefaqs is really unusual, since that site seems to have a moronic vendetta against her, which is different form Smashboards who just don't get that Daisy has a fanbase in the Mario fandom. I'm also going to let you guys in on a little secret: Most of the Mario fandom reaction to Daisy being playable in Smash would be neat, moving on.
I noticed a while back some people saying that Kenji Inufuane wasn't important to the creation to Megaman. You guys need to realise that he is very important to the creation of the series. Saying is isn't important is like saying that Ken Sugimori is worthless to Pokemon. Character Designers are very important to the design process of games, because they can put down ideas for what characters can do with their looks. And ith Megaman being a series that has you face 8 bosses, who were all designed by Kenji Inufuane makes him very important to the series.
Also something I'd like you guys to possibly note. The reason as to why Inufuane may have started the Red Ash project, is simply because Mighty No. 9 is effectively done and is probably going through its last round of bug testing before releasing in September. Don't forget Smash Bros Wii U had finished being built back in Sept last year, and Sakurai and co. were doing last bits of debugging for the game.
And I'm not saying I agree with Kenji Inufuane is doing with kickstarter, I just wanted to explain why Inufuane is working on other stuff besides Mighty No 9.
Also don't blame him for Capcom's moronic on disc dlc policy, he isn't an executive of the company, and he didn't work on Capcom's fighting games so why the hell would he be behind it?
So you guys know that whole Dragon Quest XI announcement I was thinking depending on how long it takes for Square to develop games, we will probably see DQXI in 2017, which would make sense if they only just now starting to put the game in unreal engine 4. Also I don't see the NX coming out next year since it could easily cause the sale of SMTxFE and Zelda Wii U sales to be cannibalised.
Also if we don't see a direct annoncement by the end of July the direct leak is fake
And on a different note, and something I noticed from a lot of gaming press, funny how Nintendo is called out for being to Japanese, but no American devs are called out for being to american.
