Woah, moderators can delete whole posts now? Cool. Good job, Cashed!
That was a stupid comic.

Back on topic, do you think we'll be able to send the pokemon anywhere on the field to avoid people waiting for the switch? Or perhaps they will be invincible for a short time.

It's going to be very difficult to balance Pokemon Trainer. If one (or two) of the pokemon wind up being much worse or better than the others, it will be a camping game against them waiting for them to come out.

Imagine if Sheik were forced to switch to Zelda every so often in a match. The metagame against her would consist of running away until zelda came out, then attacking when she did. But of course the metagame AS Sheik/Zelda would be "run away as Zelda, fight as Sheik". So at all times, someone in the match is just running away. It would be lame.

They're going to have to make all three pokemon usable in order for them to be an interesting character to play.

EDIT: 777'th post!!!! WooooHoooo!

Agred. Go mods.

I think there will probably be some small invincibility(?) frames, but not long, I'm sure.

Woot! ^_^ Grats on the 777 post.

Anyway, I agree. This stamina system seems more like a hinderance than something helpful, but then there wouldn't be any balance, would there?

It's hard to say how stamina is gonna work right now though.

i thought that sonic was already confirmed. sakurai said that sonic would be a perfect addition, and by that its pretty obvious that hes in.

Besides, if Sonic is in it, it will most likely be similiar to Ice Climbers, where it is Sonic and Tails.


Back on subject, I was at another site last night and someone posted some random info about their ideas on what the movesets will be. Some of the ideas seamed a bit off to me exept one, Ivysaur having razor leaf as a >B attack. I have doubt's that Nintendo will allow all three to use a projectile, but whatever. I'm aware that it is only speculation by some fans.

Other opinions on whether or not Nintendo will have Flamethrower, Watergun, and Razor leaf as attacks for them?

..You can think it but you would be wrong. Sakurai stated that Pokemon will have certain "stamina's" and also said that switching in and out would be a bad thing so that shouldn't be a problem..

that would be really stupid, i really dont think that's how it would be. sonic would be his own character because that's who everyone wants, not tails.

it wouldn't work like that. when zelda/sheik is transforming it's hard for her to avoid getting hit so i dont think it will work like you say for the trainer.

I was thinking of Sonic being partnered with Tails for two reasons...

1: For sake of old school. Tales' debut in the games was with him following Sonic around.
2: The fact that it seams like the only recover Sonic would have would be getting help from Tails. Almost like in Sonic 3.

The only alternative as recovery would be if Sonic copied Fox by doing an air spin attack.


And why do you think out of every sega character out there, they would only choose Sonic. I understand Sonic's popularity with new school fans, but old schoolers may prefer a different sega character over Sonic. There is a good fourty to fifty somewhat sega only characters, probably more. Some of which are much more suited to SSBB than Sonic.

EDIT: Okay, I forgot where we are posting this for the moment. If we continue to debate over sega characters in Brawl, we should probably do it in a more appropriate thread.

looks like a terrible idea.

No one likes the ice climbers, and no one wants an ICs wannabe.

Switching will either be terrible (like zelda/sheik) and you'll get combod 0-70, or it'll be broken like sheik's vanish stall @ the edge.

Terrible idea all around. I think nintendo intentionally ****s up their own games at this point just to **** with people or to see what they can get away with.
Speak for yourself. Ice Climber's are great characters, and original. And this is not an ice climber wanna-be. Zelda/Shiek wasan't all that bad either, at least I don't see how.

How about we continue the topic discussion without these ridiculous one liners? I don't want to warn anyone else.

[They swap out in a set order: Squirtle→Ivysaur→Charizard.



They all share the same damage meter, so they don’t recover from damage during Pokémon Change. But they also have another stat, which you might call stamina.

If you keep fighting with the same Pokémon, or if you change them out too often, it’s not so good for the Pokémon.

If you want to be a good Pokémon Trainer, you’ll need to learn these kinds of ins and outs.

No, you're wrong. If you keep switching out, you'll screw yourself over.

That would be you, correct?
Well, you're half right and half wrong. Yes, I'm a n00b, but I don't really spam.

And are you saying I'm the 35% that spams? Wow... I didn't know there were that little SWF members.

Anyways, to get on topic, I'd like to play as PT to get a feel of what it'd be like controlling each Pokemon in different situations.

Until wii meet again,

Nah, I think that they should have made a Red and a Blue, Red with Typhlosion, Charizard and Infernape, and Blue with Blastoise, Swampert, and 'Feraligatr?', that would've been cool imo. Red and Blue being Pokemon Trainers of course.

*imagines mario, kirby, and yoshi fighting..while out of nowhere, a TYRANITAR appears with a sandstream following it and tyranitar starts clawing at kirby's delicate body while scarlet is spread everywhere on the scene. while mario and yoshi starts to lunge at tyranitar, tyranitar is called back and GARCHOMP is sent out. garchomp shreds mario into pieces and performs necrophilia with the dead corpses while yoshi jumps off the edge of the map and the game ends.*
