Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Halfhead]

Real talk, what would your reaction be to Greninja or Hawlucha getting a non-trainer spot?
I love Greninja personally. It is probably my favorite sixth-gen Pokémon with Hawlucha not far behind. The OCD in me hates the idea of a starter being present without the rest of the trifecta (I was SO happy when I saw the way they handled it in Brawl), however.

Hawlucha is rumored to be the mascot (along with Blaziken and Lucario) of the new Pokémon fighter thing, so that could boost his chances. At the moment, however, he doesn't have much going for him.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I wanted to use Delphox, but I wanted Gardevoir more, and I could only have two Psychics.

At least it's not Chesnaught. Such promise, and then it turned weird-looking.

I think Chesnaught would look alot better if it was more green and brown instead of pale beige.

I like all three of them except Quilladin. I was just slightly disappointed that Delphox didn't have a witch hat.

I would have picked Fennekin but Charizard.

Well, I agree a witch hat would've been cool since Delphox is based off of the Black Mage (Pokemon with hats built on their heads are bad@$$. Example: Honchkrow) but it's fine all the same.

Also...oh...hang on a second...

*Puts on giant bullseye*

I think Delphox is a much better pokemon than Charizard. I regret nothing.

You remember that talk we had? Someone else likes Delphox.

I know, it's just that nobody ever talks about Delphox...unless it's Smogon who needlessly bash it. Oh well, at least I didn't need to bring out Sad Din.

I'd personally be surprised it's not Sylveon since it's the most marketed Sixth Gen pokemon that's not a Mega Evolution.

I am really enjoying X & Y... my boyfriend got a Froakie from a trade and gave it to me... now I have all three Kalos starters... it is the first time I actually have all three starters from the same region at once... and I actually caught a shiny Nincada tonight... my first 6th gen shiny!

Oh yeah, Smash-related... I wish the Pokemon Company would order Sakurai to add Pokemon newcomers for SSB4 instead of letting him keep the same old Pokemon veterans from Melee and Brawl and nothing else. I wish we could get Pokemon newcomers from the post-Brawl Pokemon games...

HeartGold & SoulSilver rep: Pokemon Trainer Gold with 2nd gen starters (please don't re-add Pichu...)
Black & White rep: Zoroark
X & Y rep: Mewtwo
Ruby & Sapphie remakes rep: Pokemon Trainer May with 3rd gen starters (please don't attempt to add Plusle & Minun)

I would also be completely satisfied if Meowth somehow managed to be a newcomer even if we did get nothing but Brawl Pokemon veterans plus Mewtwo... since you guys already know that Meowth is my favorite Pokemon of all time.

Chesnaught is fine, it's just the middle stage that looks really awkward and not appealing.

Delphox is my second favorite after Greninja, but I do like Fennekin more than Froakie.

Don't worry, Charizard is in the PC. Along with Blastoise and Venusaur.

Right now I'm trying to get a damned Misdreavus...

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Big question,will you choose either Wii U or 3DS version. You can't say both. Unless you want to say both and slap a troll face next to it, Yeh,I already know your plans.

WiiU.
Easily.

Better graphics, I'm assuming smoother gameplay and less lag, better online, better music, better stages (probably).


Also, after doing some research in the small MarioKart speculation community, I found out that almost everyone wants Fawful! He seems to be the most wanted new MarioKart racer! I hope this means something.

Wart and E. Gadd also have a lot of popularity.
And some Wario characters do, usually Mona is the first choice.
Oh, and Tatanga a bit too.

Just to keep people update on forgotten Mario characters.

dont screw up and forget to get that shiny shedninja! that happend to me I was devastated...

Deer God, how it would annoy me if just ONE eeveelution got in. I do see that possibility, though. If they nix Ivysaur, maybe Sylveon can use her ribbons to take over Ivy's moveset imitating the vines.

If Fawful was in the new Mario Kart, that would make the game an instant buy for me, and E.Gadd only adds sprinkles on top.

Glad to see someone supporting Zoroark, and I will say, it's the time the roster was selected that has me hopeful, which was when Black/White was still the dominant game out and Black 2/White 2 had yet to be released. This time is also around the time that since Black 2/White 2 was almost out that ideas and designs for the new generation began since everything was set for Black 2 and White 2 and all that needed to be done for the American version was translation. This is the time where the idea of Mega Evolutions was probably brought into play, and the first one designed was Mewtwo's (Being the first revealed of a serious new mechanic, already planning on re-instating Mewtwo's overall importance to the franchise) which give the thought that right now...while Lucario may have been important overall during X and Y...how much of X and Y's story mattered at said time? The roster was picked at a time where Lucario's X and Y importance most likely didn't exist yet. I don't want to demean fans of Lucario, I just really want to play as a Zoroark.

But I am actually going to buy both... I got the money!

On a serious note, I am more excited for the Wii U... my Wii U library needs more games. I already got about a dozen or so games in my 3DS game library (not counting eShop games).

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Yes! A Fawful sundae supreme topped with the sprinkles of Elvin!
But no beef. I am lacking in beef.

[Autumn ♫]

I don't know about any of you guys, but Zoroark always seemed really unappealing to me.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Damn kids and your relationships.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Gen 5 as a whole seemed unappealing to me as a whole.
So did Super Mario 64 DS.

 

[James92]

I choose the Wii U version. In most cases, I pick the home console version over the handheld version. But, I probably will end up getting both anyway.

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

I don't know about any of you guys, but Zoroark always seemed really unappealing to me.

Yeah, same here. The design of it doesn't really click with me. But Genesect on the other hand.....

 

[Autumn ♫]

Yeah, I never really did like Generation 5, don't know why, I just never caught onto it. It may be because they kicked Brock out of the anime in gen 5.

Despite me loving Super Mario 64, SM64DS didn't appeal much to me either, maybe I just need to play it on my 3DS since it has a circle pad.

 

[?????????????]

I'm getting married.

Its quite alright no offense taken as lucario was already being considered by the time not to mention he was still very prominent in gen 5, so Im not worrying his chances are better than ever as of now since im sure GF has asked for his return with his importance to Mega's history and advertisement's not to mention sakurai wants the veterans to return, its pretty win win all around.

 

[Autumn ♫]

[Headcrab Jackalope]

I'm a fan of Gen 5 because it got me back into Pokémon. Overall my favorite list looks like this:

1. Gen 3
2. Gen 6
3. Gen 5
4. Gen 4
5. Gen 2
6. Gen 1(Seriously)

 

[JamesDNaux]

Right now I'm trying to get a damned Misdreavus...

Holy damn, scratch that, finally found one on the GTS without a goddamned legendary wanted in return. I can finally get a Mismagius!

I don't suppose anyone here knows any good breeding tips? I never really cared about competitive Pokemon but I'm starting to feel as though I should try to get perfect stats and natures and whatever so my team doesn't completely suck. It's really depressing that I got my Goodra up to level 100 and it still gets taken out easily by skilled players.

 

[Louie G.]

I just didn't like the Pokémon designs of Gen. 5.
I read somewhere that Game Freak's goal for Gen. 5 was to increase the quantity of new Pokémon, while their goal for Gen. 6 was to focus the quality of the new Pokémon.
It just proves Quality over Quantity.

As for 64 DS, I just never liked the DS's 3D graphics. I'm not saying graphics make the game, it's just that the 3D wasn't just bad for the time, it was unattractive.
I wasn't just not impressed, I disliked it.
I don't know why though. Maybe it was because they tried to hard.

I'm gonna tag @ Morbi here so she can see this post and give me some scientific or psychological explanation to my feelings on the DS 3D.

I won't deny the prominence Lucario had in Gen 5, that much is clear as day, but it's just the time the game started development and the roster was started to be built (April 2012, after Kid Icarus' release) Lucario wasn't as prominent yet, as Lucario had little to no importance in the original Black and White, which at the time had been out for a little over a year in America and over a year and a half in Japan. Although, I'd argue that Zoroark is close to, if not equal to, Lucario's importance in Black 2/White 2, seeing as it was a special gift pokemon that was originally owned by N himself (Which you receive as a Zorua).

I highly doubt that Lucario would be cut, but the overall logic behind Zoroark's inclusion is there if she's included by some random miracle.

I'm forever alone.

And all I have is Felicia and my imagination which usually pre-occupies myself that I even forget the fact I'm alone. No seriously, I'm almost always thinking of something....I think it's why I'm so good at designing movesets. Anyways, let's be forever alone brothers in arms.

Somewhat close to mine
1.Gen 6
2.Gen 3
3.Gen 2(that Silver remake)
4.Gen 1
5.Gen 5
6.Gen 4(mostly because everything was very slow)

 

[Arcadenik]

I would hype if Blaziken (along with Mudkip and Grovyle) is a newcomer... Torchic is the first Pokemon you get from Mystery Gift in X & Y... maybe it's a sign that we might get Ruby & Sapphire remakes and Blaziken gets in SSB4 to promote said remakes.

Eh, as long as I have friends who care about me I couldn't care less. I don't wanna get in a relationship anyway (probably because I'm too sexually ambiguous).

Anywhoo, any thoughts on the rest of this week? What you all be thinking we get?

Pretty much how I am, if I have good friends, I'm fine and I don't really feel like getting in a relationship either. From what I see, it's too much drama, especially at my age.

I think we may get a deconfirmation this week, but I think that every week.

 

[Knight Dude]

For me it's.

Games
1st: Gen 2
2nd: Gen 5
3rd: Gen 3
4th: Gen 1
5th: Gen 4
6th: Gen 6(haven't played yet, so I put it at the bottom by default)

Pokemon
1: Blaziken
2: Blastoise
3: Charizard
4: Ampharos
5: Typhlosion

6: Stoutland
7: Sceptile
8: Krookodile
9: Staraptor
10: Aggron

11: Pigeot
12: Scizor
13: Kingdra
14: Venusaur
15: Infernape

That's how I feel about Gen 5 as well, Gen 4 didn't initially appeal to me (I like it more now though) so when Gen 5 came out I thought it'd be my last. I'm glad it convinced me to stick around.

I'd rate it:
1) Gen 2
2) Gen 5
3) Gen 6
4) Gen 3
5) Gen 4
6) Gen 1

A bit of a correction, B2W2 came out in June, two months before Sakurai was probably making his rounds. Due to that, Lucario was already beginning to get back in the marketing game and already had major appearances in the anime and Pokémon Sunday lined up. So actually, Lucario was in a better position, though definitely not to the extent he is now.

I am lonely, but I honestly don't care.
If someone doesn't like me and avoids me, screw them.

And I wish I could date Lip.
If she is 11 and I am 13 does that still make me a pedo?

Considering the definition of a Pedophile is taking a liking more than 7 years below your age, nope.

Wasn't the development of Smash Bros started shortly after Uprising's release? I'd assume that'd be April, and with a game like Smash Bros, wouldn't picking a roster be one of the top priorities? If so...I'd say that, saying it takes a while to finalize a roster, the pickings started in about May of last year, and even then, it's not like Zoroark fell of the map entirely for marketing, especially thanks to N's Zorua and how he's most commonly associated with Zoroark (Some people believe he really IS a Zoroark), that aside, I'm just saying it's not all over for Zoroark...or at least that's what I try to hope.

So I have been planning a gamegrumps-style show with my friend, where we sit and play games and ****.

Would anyone here be interested in watching it/have any game suggestions? We plan on starting with mario galaxy and Pokemon rumble.

I have no idea what is going on, but here is my order for Pokemon.
Gen 1
Gen 2
Gen 3
Gen 6
Gen 5
Gen 4
