I feel like the Pokémon conversation always results in each fan group “faction” just saying why their personal choice is more likely/a better choice than another. Then, because this is what Smash fans do, they try to make this seem like fact because we “know what we’re talking about”.
I’ll be the first one to say that some people definitely have great ideas, but we also need to realize that half the time we have no idea what we’re talking about.
For Wii U, everybody thought it would be Zoroark and Mewtwo. We got Greninja.
Robin, despite having a cult following on this website, was considered second fiddle to Chrom. Robin got in.
Clearly, Layton and a number of other 3rd parties who are close to Nintendo will get. Characters like Ryu and Cloud just don’t belong, and neither did Snake.
Oh wait.
Basically, stop taking it so seriously. I’m honestly at the point with Smash that they could probably add anybody and i’d be psyched. Better yet, i’ll let you all in on a potentially known fact.
I was a **** about Robin and Lucina prior to their reveal because I wanted Chrom. I thought he was cool and I liked his design, but thought the other two were lame.
When I saw the trailer, not only was I bamboozled that it wasn’t Chrom, but I was ****ing PSYCHED to see how Robin played. This character who I was very much against was, in my opinion, one of the cooler additions to Smash Wii U.
It really comes down to characters being fun. Are some characters more likely than others? Maybe. But i’ll be honest. I don’t give a damn why X character is overrated. If they get in Smash and are fun, then I will be excited to see them.
After listening to Super Mario RPG music this week, I realized how fun Geno would be. Do I think Geno is the most likely 3rd party? I don’t know about that, but I realized that he would be really fun, and i’d probably play him a lot if I were having a good time and playing with friends.
I don’t give a **** if i’m right during speculation, because as soon as I get the game cartridge placed in my Switch, I don’t care who got what characters right because i’m going to have fun playing the game.
Mimikyu may be the pick, or Decidueye may be. I personally would like Decidueye. But either would probably be fun, and neither is a superior pick to the other in my humble opinion.
If you’re going to get heated over it, consider that maybe you’re taking this discussion of fictional characters a tad too seriously.
