Raichu SHOULD be in SSBB!

Pika, Pichu, and Richu? We know that they won't get rid of Pichu, as much as some of want to. Plainly we don't need another form of Pikachu. Pichu was enough of a clone, but I don't get why you want to add him when there are so many other Pokemon that would fit. Peronally, I like Raichu as a character, but in SSBB, it's not really great to put in another character that looks like Pika. I am not trying to bring Raichu down or anyrhing, please understand that. It's just the idea.

How do we know that?

Personally, the only way I see Raichu (a no-name Pokemon compared to other candidates) getting in is if Pichu is taken out. I'd also be very surprised if he got in and Meowth didn't.

Are we just going to make topics for every single pokemon now? This idea is bad. He belongs in the game just as much as cloyster.

I am saying that it isn't likely. They didn't get rid of any characters from SSB64 to SSBM. So, it is ver unlikely, but you are right, we don't know.

eh we dont need any clones, and you want basically a more powerful pikach. Why dont they just move pikachu up a tier and make raichu an alternate costume.

but raichu would have different stats, so it would be like a top tier pikachu, unless nintendo gives raichu new and better moves.
Not just clones, no more pokemon in the game. They're powerful and stuff but that fad has almost completely died out. Plus pokemon are stupid.

If they're gonna put pokemon in the game, just keep the ones we have now. No more new pokemon.

Ignore the post above this ^

haveing Pichu in SSBM was a terrible idea as well. They should swap Pichu with Raichu
How about no? And primus fan... pokemon is not a fad anymore, that's true. I dont think something that is still popular after ten years should be called a fad. Pokemon is here to stay.
Edit: By no, I meant kill pichu.

Well, there was nobody in SSB64 that we would logically get rid of, now was there? Samus? Jigglypuff? They all deserved a spot in SSBM. With Melee diluting the pool a little, I can see them eliminating some old faces to make room for new ones. Just a theory.

That was in reply to the thread's starter. I won't bother reading 4 pages about people lauding the addition of another clone.

Shocker, stop being so argumentative that you argue with people who AGREE with you.

You're about to be banned again.

Personally, I CANNOT imagine Blazkin or skeptile in SSBB.

Whatever the reason I seem to be steering towards no new Pokemon.
No offense.

Did you just agree with yourself?

Anyway...I'd want Blaziken if only to hear the announcer say, "BASHAMU!!!" But...I don't really see the point of Blaziken or Raichu making it, they don't really define anything in the series...Like Munchlax being the forerunner of Diamond and Pearl or Lucario being the star of the movie and probably some pivotal Pokemon...

if rai is in pika and pi should be dropped. Just my opinion but theres enough yella rats. Maybe if they swapped one for another pokemon. and in reference to a previous post in this thread
no jigs doesnt use her marker.... but she should!!! maybe as her super attack, or as a auto double from sing.

If raichu is considered a randomn pokemon, then pichu is just as randomn as raichu, and pichu made it to melee.

pichu was the weaker version of pikachu.

if raichu was made, in theory...pikachu would be the weaker version of raichu.

now thats just gay. whats the use of using either lower beings?

sorry to say but I would have agreed with you before pichu made it to SSBM, but there's no need for TWO clones of the SAME character. No character is going to be dismissed (I know someone who uses Pichu) or replaced. Raichu WOULD have been great instead of pichu...but we got stuck with the baby since it was from gold/silver.

In other words, as I've said in other posts, either bet on one from ruby/sapphire and one from diamond/pearl or two from the Red/Blue or a mix of them.

And I hope no clones of the current ones. No Igglybuff/Wigglytuff or Deoxys clones...please God - don't make that come true.

I sincerely doubt Raichu will make it to SSBB. He's not well-known enough, and I just doubt him making it in. Pichu made Melee just because he's a cuter version of Pika, and everyone was all "Awww... Look at the cutie-pie! OMG, let's play as him cuz he's new!!1".

I honestly think Raichu, along with most other new Pokemon, will make it into this game. They've got plenty already, and I think Nintendo realizes that.

Raichu is a stupid idea for being in Brawl. Give me any reason we should have yet another electric mouse Pokemon, when there are like 14 other elements that aren't represented.

I think that the only way they should have Raichu in is if they drop Pichu. Im all for Rai if hes not a clone.(Which they could easyly give him his own moves...rai should be able to do attacks that Pika cant AND he should be faster then pika...their stats go UP as they change. But they could blance it out with haveing Pika have better jumps or something...)

But before any other pokemon I want Blazikin and Lucario in, they are fire/fighting and steel/fighting pokemon that would be great top teir characters (And they need to upgrade mewtwo...why on earth does he suck so much??!?! Why is he so slow?!?!?)
