But, why replace him? I'm not adverse to change, but I'd like to use the Link example again. In brawl, why wasn't he using stuff like the Spinner, and doing something with the dual clawshots and Dominion Rod? And I wasn't suggesting the DP heroes now, I was suggesting them for Brawl. And, I'd like to point out that it frankly isn't worth it to replace them. Here's what would happen.
1. The backlash of removing three original movesets and playstyles.
2. The backlash of removing Charizard, one of the most iconic pokemon in history.
3. The backlash from replacing them with the fairly unpopular 5th gen reps.
The only reason to add them is "Because they're new". Once the new feeling passes, there will be a chorus of "What the hell did we ask for?"
This was actually discussed a few pages back. I remember there was a suggestion to have him actually use Zekrom/Reshiram for his whole moveset, in PT spirit. They're only about 10 ft. each, so them being downgraded to Bowser height wouldn't be so out of place (think what happened to Olimar). Personally, I love it, since otherwise he'd be using random normal pokemon. I feel N has done a fair amount to earn a spot, being Pokemon's first fleshed out villian (in-game). Although, there's Silver to think about it, but he's more of a general antagonist then a full out villian. What are your thoughts on N using Zekrom/Reshiram to fight?
Well, the biggest differences between Link and PT are the one PT is a new character and Link isn't. Second, Link and his moveset are a staple of the Smash Bros series already. It would be the same as changing Pika's moves radically. This isn't the case with PT, it's still a new character, so you can do plenty with it still. You can very much replace Charizard and the like and not really cause too much of a big deal or not. He was already feature as a character in Smash Bros. Does he really deserve to comeback that badly, especially on such a cramped roster position?
People already complain that Pokemon is over-represented, adding more slots to their roster will only increase the complaints. Especially if characters that are more unique get cut.
As far as N goes. At first glance him fighting with one of the Tao Dragons seems odd, as I always pictured it as a FS. However, it could work. N replaces Red with Zoroark and a Tao-Dragon where you can swap between the two. FS is a Pokemon Specific Ultra move or something (I say Reshiram suits him better), this way Lucario stays and everyone wins.
Oh, and for the record, N isn't a villain. IN B2/W2 he comes back as a hero.
Well it is 4chan, so you can't be surprised by that. You know, waifu central with some sort of preference to flat chests.
Not really flat chests as much as it is to her being a Loli. A lot of people on /v/ also browse /a/, and /a/ has favored Loli females since it's creation.
The Ashley fanbase is going to be eaten alive if it crawls out of the cesspool that is 4ch. I did a poll on female newcomers (with Palutena out of the picture), and Ashley (and Lip) did poorly.
There are far more cynics and speculation veterans this time around that would put a damper on any unrealistic character choices.
Ashley has nothing going for her that distinguishes her from the rest of the WarioWare cast aside from being more popular among a bunch of sexual deviants due to her being a gothic loli.
Gahahahaha, this is hilarious. Half of what is /v/ isn't meant to be taken seriously. You should never go to /v/ and expect a serious thread. Especially on such a dry and treaded topic. They've had dozens of threads about speculation and a large majority of the people are tired of talking about something there is little to talk about.
Also, 4chan is a sort of counter-culture, so there's that. Don't expect mainstream ideas there anytime soon.
That being said, the site has a knack for being right about many things (just sift through the troll answers). It curious but it's true. Also, their taste in anime, manga and videogames is certainly respectable.
