I would enjoy a newcomer. It would suck losing the likes of Mewtwo, Lucario, or Jigglypuff, but a new character is a new character!

And Plusle and Minum weren't confirmed to be planned, IMO, Morbid. There is not enough evidence to make that claim, as there are multiple theories on what "Pra Mai" meant. But hey, Pichu being back? I couldn't care less.

It is universally accepted that he Plusle and Minun were part of the forbidden 7. What were some other theories, if you don't mind me asking?

2. I am talking about criteria for Smash 4. Not Melee. It is valid.
3. Sure, it hasn't happened yet though.
4. Yes.

2. What? I'm talking about criteria for Smash in general good sir. Red dot, blue jacket Toad would be the playable. And that Toad hasn't shown up in a playable role outside of Mario Kart/Party in awhile. You used the point to show Toad being playable is a key point which makes him more likely than Jr., but thee Toad isn't playable in that game. It's a generic Blue-for-the-sake-of-being-blue Toad.
3. It has. When Peach was revealed.
4. -____- can't tell if serious and Toad bias is in way, or just ****ing with me lol

I would be happy if we actually got a Pokemon newcomer or two... just to prove that we are not getting "Brawl Pokemon + Mewtwo" because that's so boring. I want new Pokemon to play with for the next 5 years, not be stuck with the same ones for the next 5 years (in addition to the previous 5 years for a grand total of 10 years).

I know you guys hate the thought of it but.... What if we got a Pokemon newcomer? (A proper one, Mewtwo and Pichu don't count.) :x
Maybe not for the release of X and Y but sometime down the line?

Plusle and Minun as an Ice Climbers-type team character. That's what I want the most when it comes to a Pokemon newcomer.

2. Toad is playable though. I already cited that I don't care which Toad it is.
3. Peach was promoting the anniversary. Even if it didn't mean much.
4. I am serious. I don't give Sakurai any credit. I think he would immediately develop Jr. as a clone.

Sakurai has made fitting clones in the past, but if you ask me, making Bowser Jr. a Bowser clone would be like making Diddy Kong a Donkey Kong clone. The are enough differences between Bowser Jr. and Bowser to make Jr. a significantly different fighter from Bowser.

This isn't the order I want them in. I am just typing out all possible reveals for Friday (even if everyone thinks it will be PKMN Trainer or Mewtwo).

Well, the Every Player theory. Some people assume that it is a scrapped random idea, or even the Miis.

I'm not saying it is not for sure Plusle and Minum (I'm pretty sure it was), but it's not fully believed in. Plus, it's a little weird that the Ice Climbers have two separate data slots. Pra Mai didn't, although it's possible it's only one because of the short development time they had on them.

I don't know.

I highly doubt it will be Jigglypuff when they have other Pokemon that could generate more hype for both Smash and Pokemon X/Y. Think about it. Three Pokemon (Lucario, Mewtwo, Charizard) have been showcased for Mega Evolutions, which is the biggest thing for X/Y. Jigglypuff is one of many Pokemon who have the new Fairy type, which does not have nearly as much excitement attached to it.

It would be really cool if you actually kept track of this. We would have everyone's vote in one place. That would make Friday EVEN more hype. This is really the only time we can do something fun like this. I mean maybe for Mario and Zelda we can choose between like 2 characters. I just think that this will be the best chance we have to do something like this.

If there is DLC, would Plusle & Minun get in over Pichu as a Pikachu semi-clone? They seem to be more iconic to me.

I think I'll side with Morbid here and bet on Jigglypuff too. Been thinking it for a while.

Then Pichu gets in, and we all lose.
Click to expand...
yes! Yes! YES! YEEESSSSS!

In all seriousness, I am starting to think that Pichu will be playable. That would be so cool. I already know that it is the hype talking.

Placing half on PT and half on Lucario!

It's definitely possible, as mentioned before, with all four Mario Veterans revealed Mario 3D land would be the good opportunity to reveal a newcomer to the world and hype up the Wii U.

This game is all or nothing :p, you can only choose one.

One of the bad parts about fans predicting rosters is most of them fail so separate what they want from reality.

True, mewtwo, lucario, and charizard would indeed providence more hype, but if they NEVER had a mega evolution, most fans would not even consider their chances of getting in. Jigglypuff on the other hand has been in from the start meaning he is almost certain to get in. And if you want to add the "new" additions for X and Y, he also gets fairy type, which increases his almost certain chances. Now the only other factor is when he will be revealed, will it be this week, or an unlock able character when the game is released?

Considering all of that, if a pokemon is revealed it will most likely be Jigglypuff.

So you choose Jigglypuff, is that your bet?

I personally believe that pra_mai is Plusle & Minun... I believe that the reason it was only one file was because Sakurai originally planned to add Pichu to Brawl but then changed the file name to pra_mai because he thought Plusle & Minun would make an interesting replacement for Pichu (it's basically playing as two Pichus like the Ice Climbers) but then he scrapped the idea early on... so it is still only one file instead of two like the Ice Climbers have.

Man that will be a tough choice as I'm torn between Mewtwo and Pokemon Trainer. I want it to be Mewtwo, but I guess I'll go for Pokemon Trainer...

(Can I choose both? :p)

We betting on Pokemon?

I don't care if it's about likelyhood... but put me down for my man Pokemon Trainer. It's GOTTA be him!

With his TV Special airing, and his starters being the X/Y starters, it's only the logical choice. Granted, there's the possibility it won't happen... at least not in the next pokemon reveal... but for the sake of this game, sign me up for Pokemon Trainer.
