Who is the most forgettable Pokemon to you guys?

I don't mean the worst/which one you like the least, but like, literally a Pokemon you forget it exists constantly for no reason at all. Because for me it's usually both Huntail and Gorebyss.

 

[Cyn]

Says you.

Exactly, everybody loses. It's like life, therefore making Smash Ultimate THE most realistic game of the decade...

The thing about Pokemon is, no matter which one gets in, someone is going to be happy because its their favorite.

Why Magikarp? If we are going to go all "full disappointment" mode, why not give Animal Crossing more representation:

 

[DarkFalcon]

Considering my boi was not present at in the E3 demo despite being an OG 8, it's safe to say that the fighters haven't been finalized...

Characters are probably being constantly changed and balanced so I doubt anyone was finalized in that build.

 

[Luigi The President]

Considering my boi was not present at in the E3 demo despite being an OG 8, it's safe to say that the fighters haven't been finalized...

That's not safe at all and I expected better from you Zin!
JK. But again I feel the characters were chosen very precisely.
Ness was one of the unlockables and is in with the 8. No sign of Luigi or Falcon.
So yea, that's not safe at all.

 

[FantasticMr.StarPit]

Out of curiosity, who remembers the company "Interplay" You know the guys behind MDK, Clayfighter, Blackthorne, Lost Vikings, etc?

Because they actually made a Mario game....

Spoiler: a mario game on...

ON COMPUTERS!

So what if hypothetically, if we see an Interplay character, who would it be?

I'm going with Wex Major from Wild 9. He has potential I'm telling you. Watch gameplay of it and you'll know what I mean.

 

[Buzzwole]

1. Rex & Pyra
2. ARMS character (any of Sakurai’s choice, would personally prefer Twintelle but I expect Springman or Ribbon Girl)
3. Octoling (inkling echo)
4. Shantae (if not on base roster), if she is base then either Neku or Dante
5. Dixie (if not on base roster)

I’m assuming Shadow, Isaac, Skull Kid, BWD, Elma, and Black Shadow are all base roster.

You know what's funny about ARMS is that I *never* see anyone mention Helix.
Helix would be the best character to add to Smash from that game. He's weird as hell, would play totally different from any other fighter, and I think encapsulates ARMS very well. Plus he's more interesting than Spring Man, and it doesn't hurt that he was relatively popular online.

Welp, the leakmonger dude finally posted the image

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Another fake one. Move along...

 

[Erureido]

So guys, while we've yet to see the full roster, let's play a game.


Assuming that we get the full roster (just pretend it's Nov/Dec atm), why not name 5 characters you think would be hype worthy for DLC? I'll start

1. Skull Kid
2. Banjo
3. Rex and Pyra
4. Isaac
5. Crash Bandicoot

My picks:

1) Rex and Pyra
2) Springman
3) Bandana Dee
4) Dixie Kong (if she's not in the base roster)
5) Professor Layton (if he's not in the base roster)

 

[Bestmand902]

Why Magikarp? If we are going to go all "full disappointment" why not give Animal Crossing more representation:

He can be Magikarp's echo fighter

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Cute? He is downright adorable! Just look at him!

I imagine everyone just said “D’awwwww”

That’s honestly kind of adorable. It’s that eye.

 

[praline]

The game is out in 3 months dude. They probably didn’t have Yoshi in the demo cause they wanted other characters in.

 

[Abha]

Who is the most forgettable Pokemon to you guys?

I don't remember my most forgettable Pokemon.

Drillbur and Excadrill.

I'd tell you but I forgot it existed.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Oh I probably should have told you guys this but

While not a reveal date

(Forgive me if already mentioned)

Nintendo has removed the Ranked rotation pool containing Starfish Mainstage which was supposed to start on September 7th.

This is final confirmation that the update has been delayed along with the Nintendo Direct. Expect the Direct and update to drop sometime before Sept 14.

He’s speculating the 13th for a reveal

 

[IGuessItsOver]

You mean he made the joke, people got upset, he admitted he was wrong, and then we got into a fight for the last several pages.

Look, the joke was in bad taste, but this is just calling someone out for no reason. Let's move on guys.

You're right, i was taking this too far. My apologies.

So guys, while we've yet to see the full roster, let's play a game.

The Finneon line usually makes me forget about them...

 

[AlphaSSB]

I just don't think everyone was fully implemented in a passable condition say a year ago.

A year ago, I'd argue most of the cast wasn't in presentable condition. Some of the characters shown off at E3 look like they were still unfinished, some characters didn't even have finalized character art, etc.

I do believe, though, that many of the 'Echo' clones were in some stage of development a year ago. Their numbers, plus the fact that there's certainly more to come, makes me think that they were possibly planned from the start just to pad out the roster.

 

[Zinith]

That's not safe at all and I expected better from you Zin!

What about Dr. Coyle too? She’s a villain AND female, something yet to be seen in Smash: someone who fits both quotas at once.

I mean, Jigglypuff is pretty darn forgettable if you consider Smash Ultimate's mural.

But in general, uhhhh...that one fire anteater thing. Heatmor I think?

I think that most DLC characters are going to be third party or from games that came out too late in Smash's development to implement them into the game. ARMS and Xenoblade 2 will definitely get reps via DLC.

I feel like characters such as Skull Kid will either be in the base game or won't be in at all.

 

[Nethermoosen]

Considering my boi was not present at in the E3 demo despite being an OG 8, it's safe to say that the fighters haven't been finalized...

Considering the new game and the fact his Final Smash would need to be altered, maybe your boi just had a new Final smash that would give away his Crafted World.

 

[Luigi The President]

Yeah, those are the responses I wanted to hear...

At least your boy is in the game.

This just doesn't make sense for me...Corocoro and Famitsu will both be out by then.

Hype worthy in general or hype worthy for me?

I'm gonna go with hype worthy for me so I can be selfish.

1. Rex
2. Incineroar
3. Tails
4. Spyro
5. A Dragon Quest character that isn't Slime

Finneon and Lumineon.

 

[Buzzwole]

What about Dr. Coyle too? She’s a villain AND female, something yet to be seen in Smash: someone who fits both quotas at once.

She'd probably be my second choice if I had to choose.
Helix is just too bizarre of a character to not be my number 1 pick.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Yeah, those are the responses I wanted to hear...

What'd you expect?

 

[Iridium]

The day I woke up hearing we'd get a direct. I felt Isaac was for sure.

Later that day, I felt Incineroar was for sure.

Now that we're sitting here waiting...I don't know anything anymore.

If I fall sleep and dream about the Direct, what I see will actually happen.

I would lose it if I dreamt of the exact same way the Direct was presented. Did I ever tell anyone that I actually dreamt of playing Pokémon Y before I even saw a commercial? I never saw the game or anything, and I may never understand what happened.

There aren't any Pokémon that I forget about, but there are Pokémon names that I forget about, such as Trumbeak or Tranquil

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So just because I'm bored... What are everyone's final roster predictions?
Here's mine

Echoes
Isabelle (Villager echo)
Ken (Ryu echo)
Shadow (Sonic echo)

Newcomers
Incineroar (Probably will be revealed during the Direct)
Elma (I'd expect her to be revealed at the begining of a Smash focused Direct)
Geno (Probably the final character to be revealed and will be revealed at the end of the Smash focused direct)

There's a good number of Unova Pokemon that I can hardly remember, but the most forgettable one that immediately came to my mind was Maractus.

Not having good stats for a Pokemon is one thing, but the fact we already had two other memorable cactus Pokemon introduced earlier in the form of Cacnea and Cacturne also led me to not remembering Maractus most of the time.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I think someone here had the idea of Magikarp as a Pokeball Pokemon.

It'd Splash around like Goldeen but instead it actually has a hurtbox and if it gets damaged enough it evolves into Gyarados and ****s your **** up.

Except one thing to consider: Gyarados is a background Pokemon for the Kalos League stage

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

> Leakmonger

These leakers aren't even trying with these names anymore.

 

[Union of Darkness]

Considering my boi was not present at in the E3 demo despite being an OG 8, it's safe to say that the fighters haven't been finalized...

Not so. The fighters are done at this point. Who's available in a demo isn't really an indication of anything.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Why Magikarp? If we are going to go all "full disappointment" mode, why not give Animal Crossing more representation:

I think it should be a battering item at the very least. Pretty much Animal Crossing's most iconic fish at this point.

Is it really the most forgettable if it came into your mind immediately?
