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

Well some people who datamined Splatoon 2 did speculate that the direct would be held on the 13th for that matter!

 

[IGuessItsOver]

At least your boy is in the game.

Don't worry, he'll get in...

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.

Phione. It's literally just a more forgettable version of Manaphy, statwise and design wise. It can't be found in the wild or in an AI trainer's team, but no one uses it competitively either, so you pretty much never see it in game. And despite being a part of the Pokemon fanbase for a long time, I don't think I've ever seen it actually talked about online at all either.

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

Why stop at Animal Crossing?

 

[Zinith]

What'd you expect?

Now this is the banter I live for.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Another fake one. Move along...

Well, this is getting annoying

 

[CrusherMania1592]

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.

Keep in mind that we're gonna get some surprise characters for DLC. So if they're holding them for DLC to increase the hype and make us pay for them, I wouldn't be surprised

 

[Cyn]

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

I am more of the mind that it should do nothing, just like Magikarp does once out of the pokeball.

 

[Erureido]

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

I had to look through a list of Unova Pokemon for this post just to remind myself of it.

I still say Stantler.

She's my [second] girl, too

Sometimes we don't always hear what we want.
I haven't heard Paper Mario's trailer for example.
Again...at least Yoshi's in.

 

[Chrono.]

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.

I've been having a weird appreciation for Maractus lately just cause it's pretty darn cute.

 

[T-Hell]

My most forgettable pokemon.. as a huge pokemon fan, there are many pokemon I forget sometimes.. Maractus, Audino, Stunfisk, Watchog, Liepard.. just to say some.

 

[Misery Brick]

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

1. Rex and Pyra
2. Shantae (If she's on the base roster or as an AT then: Rayman)
3. Spring Man/ Ribbon Girl
4. Tails/Robotnik
5. Neku or Sephiroth

Who's your first?

Man, I don't know if they can keep things from leaking for that long.
I totally understand the delay, but I'd feel bad for Sakurai and his team if their announcements were leaked or revealed in a magazine or something.
The longer the direct is postponed, the more we're going to hear about from outside sources.

Sometimes what you need to hear isn't what you want to hear.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

If you remember the most forgettable Pokemon, then it isn't the most forgettable.

 

[ZephyrZ]

If you remember the most forgettable Pokemon, then it isn't the most forgettable.

That's why I scrolled down a list of Pokemon until I found one I legitimately forgot about.

 

[Kuon]

Who's your first?

This chick...dog... as a unique fighter, please

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I’m just so happy Neku is gaining traction...so proud of y’all :’)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I was actually thinking of writing some spoof interview about Incineroar if he's included.

 

[DarkFalcon]

If you remember the most forgettable Pokemon, then it isn't the most forgettable.

I guess I win because I can't remember my most forgettable, and I'm not a dirty cheater who looked through a list.

Yeah sorry, I can't let the straight furries win.

 

[Iridium]

Sorry for the late response.

It was the title of the new Yoshi game leaked by NoA themselves

Also sorry for the late response. What was the title? How exactly did Nintendo leak it?

 

[Kuon]

Yeah sorry, I can't let the straight furries win.

Furries? I'm not a furry. I just think she's cute and it would be super funny seeing her destroy Ridley. Do you think I'm a furry?

 

[Zinith]

Also sorry for the late response. What was the title? How exactly did Nintendo leak it?

"Yoshi's Crafted World" and it was revealed on their website. It's pretty clear that it was supposed to be in the Direct

 

[Nethermoosen]

My most forgettable pokemon.. as a huge pokemon fan, there are many pokemon I forget sometimes.. Maractus, Audino, Stunfisk, Watchog, Liepard.. just to say some.

Vanilla cone, snowflake crystal, a lot of birds, a lawnmower/oven/freezer/other appliances ghost, literal keychain, cogs, pile of trash, a wreath of flowers. There’s a lot of crap Pokémon.

 

[Iridium]

Anybody remember this?

 

[Chrono.]

I’m just so happy Neku is gaining traction...so proud of y’all :’)

Neku seems cool, but I can't lie, I'd want him in if it means getting TWEWY songs in Smash.

I never played the game but I listen to the OST constantly.

 

[T-Hell]

"Hmm, Zinith has a point. If they can have in the build but NOT , maybe not all of the characters are finished. I'll put aside my explicit anti-Yoshi bias to give him that" - DarkFalcon

Nah, it most likely has to do with his inevitable new final smash. Sakurai probably has something original or epic in store and wants to show it in the next Smash Direct, along with Peach's and Daisy's, Diddy, etc.

I don't get why people hate on Garbodor but not Muk. Muk was the garbage Pokémon before Garbodor

Bruh, you did not just insult Rotom, Klefki and Comfey.

 

[Troykv]

So... the Direct should arrive at some day between Sep 9 and Sep 13?

 

[Zinith]

Nah, it most likely has to do with his inevitable new final smash. Sakurai probably has something original or epic in store and wants to show it in the next Smash Direct, along with Peach's and Daisy's, Diddy, etc.

My guess is their trying to work out his shield and the properties that'll make it stand out (like every Smash game to date, for better or worse)

 

[IGuessItsOver]

"I THINK YOUR MOST WANTED CHARACTER SUCKS!"

QUICK EVERYONE, TELL HIM WHY YOUR MOST WANTED NEWCOMER DOESN'T SUCK!

 

[DarkFalcon]

Nah, it most likely has to do with his inevitable new final smash. Sakurai probably has something original or epic in store and wants to show it in the next Smash Direct, along with Peach's and Daisy's, Diddy, etc.

If it's not the most amazing final smash in the game I'm getting a refund after all this hype.

No need to discuss this one. I'm watching him and he's shown nothing of note.

If anything big comes I'll do my best to update you.
