Pretty good roster, very safe, maybe you should spice it up a little more (adding one or two unconventional reps).

I would but then people would criticize me and there would be a 10 page argument debating this cahracter

Forgo, as opposed to replace, if you must, because "similar-enough" characters existed.


To elaborate, I expect Charizard + (one) gen 2-5 pokemon + gen 6 pokemon, for PkMn trainers pokemon. Something just feels like it's gonna happen, but we'll definitely see there.


I don't quite seeing it as serious with Lucario as it was with Mewtwo, or even Roy.



I quite simply don't like Sonic or Megaman. That's all there is regarding this.

I do think a multi-gen trainer is a good way to represent multiple generations. With the advent of X&Y starters, though, I'm doubting it a lot.

Scenario: Brawl is in development and time is getting scarce. The best option is to cut characters to save time.
Dr. Mario: "We already have Mario. So long, doc!"
Roy: "We're already adding in Ike, perhaps we can rotate out Roy."
Mewtwo: "We're already adding in Lucario, perhaps we can rotate out Mewtwo."


Calling it "forgoing" instead of "replacing," due to the two characters filling conceptually similar niches.
Fine, believe what you wish. But Mewtwo was never replaced. He was "forgone", but not replaced, which is what you really believe.

Who will win ladies and gentleman, put your bid for which Pokemon will be reveled this week.

I will post the list every three entries, so the thread can be easier to read and don't get saturated of lists.

Special Thanks:
To Johnknight1 for creating the idea.
To MorbidAltruism for supporting and getting the list right.
To Onyx Oblivian for the image and title of this game.

People betting on which Pokémon will be revealed this week? Sounds good. I'm guessing Mewtwo will be revealed.
You have been added.

I remember my reaction to Sonic's trailer and seeing him on the site. I remember bolting out of my room and waking my brother up to tell him.

He didn't get excited at that moment, but I did get a punch to the gut. I haven't woken him up since.
ARE YOU TELLING ME HE HAS BEEN ASLEEP FOR OVER A WEEK?????? WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED A DOCTOR ALREADY??!?!!?!?!??!?!??!
How would you react if the N64 logo was in the game?
Oh I know it will be.
In the trophies section. :troll:
But here's something for your thoughts:

I feel like if Diskun had a voice he'd sound like Eric Cartman. Probably because he's fat and has South Park eyes. SPEAKING OF WHICH:


He looks like he has glasses to me for some reason so I envision him as some form of quiet nerd type =P

"The N64 logo got in over me? ... OK..."

How would you feel if Duck Hunt Dog is playable in SSB4 but Sheriff, the N64 Logo, and Diskun are not playable? :troll:

Thank you for deciding what I think for me. It feels good knowing that someone out there knows my own stances better than myself.
You were advocating over and over again that Mewtwo was replaced, then when people started asking you, you basically said: "No, he was taken out, not replaced!"

Maybe you did simply mistake, but based on the posts that followed that, you meant replaced. I don't want to discuss it anymore.

They aren't even similar.

To elaborate, I expect Charizard + (one) gen 2-5 pokemon + gen 6 pokemon, for PkMn trainers pokemon. Something just feels like it's gonna happen, but we'll definitely see there.
Sakurai doesn't give a crap about generational representation, he nearly skipped Melee not adding Pichu if it wasn't for clones and didn't bother with Gen 3. Lucario got in on his own merits, not because of some "we need to represent all generations!" mentality.


I don't quite seeing it as serious with Lucario as it was with Mewtwo, or even Roy.
Or rather you're making an exception of Lucario just because you want to get rid of him?

I do think a multi-gen trainer is a good way to represent multiple generations. With the advent of X&Y starters, though, I'm doubting it a lot.

Scenario: Brawl is in development and time is getting scarce. The best option is to cut characters to save time.
Dr. Mario: "We already have Mario. So long, doc!"
Roy: "We're already adding in Ike, perhaps we can rotate out Roy."
Mewtwo: "We're already adding in Lucario, perhaps we can rotate out Mewtwo."


Calling it "forgoing" instead of "replacing," due to the two characters filling conceptually similar niches.
Again, Sakurai doesn't care about that.

Except he wasn't even "forgo," he just slightly missed the time slot. He was the farthest ahead of any newcomer, if they wanted to replace (or whatever) him with Lucario, they wouldn't have bothered to even give him that much.

I'm working on something you guys might enjoy, just to make this whole "Pokemon" character prediction fun. I'm going to try to add to the hype! :)

edit done!:

I dunno if this is cheating or not, but I'm going to go with Mewtwo AND Pokémon Trainer. Not on the same day though.

am I the only one that liked lucario's aura physics in brawl?
I did

Here is an updated version of my roster, mainly aesthetic changes.
Can someone critique it.
View attachment 3115
Looks good. Only thing for me is...

- Goroh will probably make AT again
- Toon Zelda would most likely make it, but might get Tetra alone instead
- Pac-Man who i'm mixed on. Guess that's just me

So, (I know I'm going to regret saying this) what does everybody think of the idea of Rosalina
I like the idea of Rosa, but Junior and Toad should get in before she does.

Nerd moment, but am I the only one thinking Power Rangers based on the colors (purple can be used as black though)? That, and Red should be in the middle for being the one capturing the Pokemon

So much wasted potential for such a horrible potential lacking character.

I wouldn't go as far to say that. Sakurai changes his mind on a lot of things and there were only 2 generations at that time. Having 6 generations, but only 8 from 1? Doesn't seem very logical to me. There should be at least ONE Pokemon that is from a newer gen and Lucario is already too damn iconic to get rid of.

If Plusle and Minun was confirmed, they would be the Green and White Rangers. :shades:
