This could probably be a fun discussion! Please note this
IS NOT a hate thread against Greninja; I love his inclusion and do not want this to turn into "Well,
THIS Pokemon
DESERVES to get in over Greninja." Mostly just post what Pokemon from the newest generation you think could make good fighters in Smash!
Chesnaught and Delphox are kind of obvious.. both being humanoid and bases of of RPG stereotypes. So I'll mention two moreso "out there." choices:
Aeigislash - One of the most popular 6th gen Pokes, both competitively and casually. It'd be really interesting to see a character that essentially IS a weapon. Plus, switching in between his Blade and Shield formes would be really interesting. Blade Forme obviously have a faster, glass cannon playstyle while Shield Forme could possibly be used to reduce damage and knockback.
Sylveon - Picked because it's another highly popular 6th gen Pokemon, plus it would add a quadruped back into the fray! Her feelers could also be used for things like jabs and grabs to make her a little more believable fighter. I think it would interesting to see Sylveon as a ranged, cleric-like fighter who's damage output is okay (bad in actual physical fighting) who can heal itself to prolong its stock.
That's just a couple ideas! What do you guys think?
