Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[MasterOfKnees]

Hmm...
I really hope that Sakurai goes with Brawl + Mewtwo.
That's what seems most likely, but you never know.

That's what I'm predicting AND hoping. I really liked the Brawl cast of Pokémons, and with Mewtwo on top of it it'd feel perfect. Pokémon is one of those series that can't ever be "finished" the same way as Kirby or Zelda in terms of character representation, but it can sit at a comfortable spot, and I believe that Brawl + Mewtwo is just that.

 

[Louie G.]

K. Rool, Ridley, Little Mac, and Palutena for the roster.

 

[APC99]

That it, or anything else?
Edit: Off topic, but Beyond by Daft Punk is a great song.

Hmm...

Cut Dr. Mario, add King K. Rool.
Cut Roy, add Little Mac.
Cut Young Link, add Mii.

 

[Cobalsh]

K. Rool, Ridley, Little Mac, and Palutena for the roster.

Any cuts?

 

[Diddy Kong]

I didn't play Black, White, Y or X. Hardly played Diamond either, but Infernape is awesome.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Honestly, X and Y were really easy, which is surprising, with the highest leveled Pokemon in the Elite Four and such. But they basically handed you the victory with the Exp. Share. I didn't need to train: by the time I got to the League, my Pokemon were Levels 68 and up. Still, I loved the game, just wish it was more difficult.

My favorite games have got to be Sapphire, Pearl, and White. Everything else is okay. (Fire Red and Soul Silver were pretty good as well).

 

[Louie G.]

Any cuts?

Dr. Mario, Pichu, and Young Link.
I would say Roy, but...
If this is a collab roster Roy's gotta be there.

500th message! Congrats to me! I still need nine more volunteers for the collab roster! Here it is again.

Cut something and add Waddle Dee.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I didn't. What levels are your Pokémons in?

For the most part, they're all in the 60's, except for Greninja, who's 71, and Pikachu (who I'm not even sure if I'm going to use, just brought him back because I missed him), who's 34.

 

[Cobalsh]

Let's say cut Young Link and Pichu. And any other additions?

Still need 5 more requests!

 

[CalumG]

You know what would be interesting? A simultaneous release of a character for both Pokemon and Smash Bros. I imagine everybody has already heard about Volcanion, Hoopa and Diancie, the three Pokemon buried within X and Y's code.

In the past there has always been event Pokemon locked away within the code of Pokemon. But what if this time around, especially considering how they've been announcing characters so far (coinciding with Nintendo Direct and release dates and such), they did something like a Nintendo Direct where they announced an event for one of these three Pokemon, and then at the end of the Direct, announced that very same Pokemon as a playable or a Pokeball Pokemon in new Smash Bros footage?

It'd certainly be hype building and an interesting point, if only because nothing like it has ever been done before.

You'll be fine. For two of the Elite Four members, I didn't even get any hits on me. The Champion didn't even lay a finger on me, I led with a Mega Gengar and destroyed the Champion's team. (Then again I did Super Train a hell of a lot).

This was my team:

• Gengar Lv. 68
• Gardevoir Lv. 69
• Tyrantrum Lv. 70
• Greninja Lv. 69
• Staraptor Lv. 68
• Blaziken Lv. 72

 

[Diddy Kong]

I could solo the Elite Four with Pikachu back in the day.

Red, Yellow, Gold and Ruby specifically.

Would you like to put an entry onto the collab roster, Diddy? You can cut anyone that isn't the Original 12 or confirmed, and add anyone.

 

[Louie G.]

If the Pokémon reps are not Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer, Mewtwo, and Lucario...
I'll be angry.

Very interesting. Or when they're ready in the future, announce the most-likely "Pokemon Z" and reveal someone like the Pokemon Trainer along with it. Then again, it might be a while until we see it. Still, I'm fairly certain we'll see something Pokemon-related when the Bank is reborn.

 

[Knight Dude]

Whenever I finally get Pokemon X or Pokemon Y, I'll likely carry a Blaziken and a Blastoise on my team. Even if I need to use the Pokemon Bank to do so. Though I really do want the event Torchic on my team instead. Anyone like Yvetal more too?

Cut Sheik, add Impa.

 

[Chandeelure]

I don't know why but I think Sakurai will do something with the Pokemon Trainer.
Change his pokemon or make him solo Charizard or even cut him ._.

Curious on what types the Elite Four use.

 

[Cobalsh]

Cut Sheik, add Impa.

Anyone else?

Same here. I kinda hope he "evolves" the Trainer by fully evolving all his Pokémon. ****, double post.

Cut Lucas for Prince Sable.

Wow? You managed spoilers? Kudos.

But yeah, two make sense for Elite Four types, the other two are really pathetic and hardly put up a fight.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Add Pichu.

 

[Cobalsh]

Add Pichu.

Any other characters or cuts? You too, Blue.(lol)

 

[TumblrFamous]

Guys, posting this from the Wii U discussion. I think it makes sense, and I want some feedback.

Guys, crazy theory time:

We all know we didn't get a Pokemon character back in October. Well, maybe he was saving it for Pokemon Bank. Then, he had Rosalina and Zelda reveals to push through, which were unfortunately right next to the release of the Pokemon Bank. So obviously Sakurai needed to put them in and then figure out a way to reveal a Pokemon character at the time the bank is released.

Sakurai messed with Pokemon Bank, causing it to delay, to fit his reveal calendar.

If my theory is correct, Sakurai is a cold, sadistic psychopath.

 

[Louie G.]

Same here. I kinda hope he "evolves" the Trainer by fully evolving all his Pokémon.

Well I sure don't.
All of the final evolutions will be heavyweights. The evolutions that PT had in Brawl were perfect: one light, one medium, one heavy.
From a gameplay standpoint, there would be no reason to swap Pokémon if they all had similar stats.

Heh.
It makes sense, but I doubt it.
Although it definitely helps a possible reveal to correspond with bank.
Frankly, I don't really care about the delay. Pokémon Y is my first physical Pokémon game (the rest were emulated). I only want that Celebi.

Maybe differing movesets, or properties other than weight.

 

[Chandeelure]

Please don't cut Lucas! Cut Mario if you want but not Lucas.

Why reveal a Pokemon character just to advertise a Pokemon transfer system?

 

[Knight Dude]

Curious on what types the Elite Four use.

You want me to tell you?

Spoiler

They are Fire, Steel, Water and Dragon. Not sure about the exact order though.

 

[CalumG]

Cut Lucas for Prince Sable.

Who said anything about Mewtwo? If we did get a reveal to coincide with the bank, my guess would be Trainer or Jigglypuff.

 

[Louie G.]

Maybe differing movesets, or properties other than weight.

Still, that makes no difference.
Sakurai made PT work perfectly. The three evolutions for three different weight classes with different stats.
Different movesets and properties still don't justify the idea. If that's the case just separate them.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I could cut Falco for Sable instead.
But people would still complain either way.
Can I just add the character without replacing then.

Project M starters? I can get behind that.

Not if it was Pichu or Young Link. Well, I wouldn't anyway.

EDIT: Double post. My bad.

I like the Pokemon Trainer how he is. I mean, I understand that some people hate him for the Stamina problem, and that does cripple him in tournament matches, but I liked the idea, and in order to make it work, it had to be implemented like that. I guess he could stop the stamina and instant switch-out, but that's basically making them like Zelda and Sheik. (But they actually have merits).

I don't know. I guess getting rid of the stamina and switiching out when fainting wouldn't be the worst idea, just have to add the individual characters to the tournaments, I guess. I don't know.

Yes. Need three more. Shadow, kewlusername, got anything?

Cut Mega man add mega man volnutt.

Cut Mega Man Volnutt and add Mega Man X.
