[SuperNintendoKid]

 

[Schnee117]

Fixed.

 

[MewtwoX825]

I hope Charizard and Mewtwo gets in. :D

As long as the Megas are the reverse for this game. DracoZard and Fetus McSpermhead need to stop hoggin the spotlight.

I personally do prefer Charizard Y to X.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Am I the only one who thinks that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan should be in too?

 

[Spirst]

I also prefer Charizard Y. Charizard X seems a little too "HI I'M 10 AND THIS IS SO COOL" designed for my tastes. Y seems more like something I would expect from Charizard and I like the sleekness.

Edit: Yes. #TeamHitmonlee though

 

[Schnee117]

We need Hariyama in Pokken as well.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Bisharp, smash pokes, Heracross
That's all I need

Yeah, really. Charizard Y looks like an actual realistic upgrade.
X is more...well, "OMGZ CHARIZARD IS A DRAGON LULZ"

 

[DrRiceBoy]

I have finally found people who agree with me on Charizard Y being better than X... yeahhhhhh

Charizard Y needs some serious love. Zard X is already in Smash so let Zard Y be in Pokken pl0x

 

[Spirst]

I'd personally like more "WTF" kind of characters like Suicune to be added. Bipedal/fighting types/Smash pokemon are good but seem like predictable choices.

Give me oddball choices like Girafarig or Porygon or Shuckle.

How about diglett?

Don't hurt me please!

 

[MagiusNecros]

Charizard Y the best.

Although I do like Noivern a lot.

I would love Porygon Z to be playable.
What about Absol?
Sylveon...perhaps...?

You don't even want to see it's Final Form.

Porygon Z has the highest SPAttack of all normal types, Arceus included, so wynaut?

You mean this? If you google diglett's/dugtrio's body, you'll mostly get stuff that I shouldn't put on this site but this is the only appropriate one I could find. XD

Guys, you're forgetting the most important, most powerful addition that needs to be made to Pokken:

[U-Throw]

I like both of Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions equally. They both have qualities that appeal to me, and both of them are just plain awesome! Gun to my head, though, I'd probably pick Mega Mewtwo Y. Special Attack FTW, people!

I don't have an opinion on Charizard's Mega Evolutions simply because I don't really care for him as a Pokémon. I mean, don't get me wrong, Charizard is awesome! He just doesn't particularly appeal to me.

At this point, the only two Pokémon that I absolutely need in Pokkén Tournament are Mewtwo, because he's my all time favorite, and Dragalge, because he's my favorite non-Legendary. That said, I also really like Porygon Z, so I wouldn't mind seeing him or one of his evolutionary relatives in the game.
Oh, and I want Magikarp in just to piss people off.

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

Mega Dunsparce
Type: Normal / Dragon
Ability: Serene Grace
Stats:
HP: 100
Attack: 70 => 120
Defense: 70 => 90
Sp. Atk: 65 => 15
Sp. Def. 65 => 85
Speed: 45 => 105

 

[MewtwoX825]

The only thing I hate are his tiny arms, ZardYs arms should have turned into an extra pair of real wings, kind of like that Dragon Hiccup's Mom has in HTTYD2, still I prefer X even though its design should have been used for an original pokemon (as for the mega looking like it was made by a 10 year old, that can be said about a lot of Megas)

Theres thing I like and hate about both Mega Mewtwos, plus that ironic fact that most people like the Y variation as well even though that one got a lot of hate when first revealed.

Nice catch. I actually liked Brawl's Fox design more than his 64/Melee design so I'm fine with this.

Not trying to ruin anyone's hope but isn't that just the render from the 64 remake

Just don't let Smogon people play.

Gengar had extremely good reason to be banned; having one on your team was just so huge of an advantage that there was almost no reason for a good team to have one, much like Metaknight. This stuff happens so much in Pokemon, we even have a name for it; "over-centralization", and it's something Smogon attempts to avoid. Yes, that's right. By banning Pokemon all the time, Smogon is actually promoted diversity in the metagame.

Mega Gengar itself wasn't OP; but Mega Gengar paired with a powerful sweeper is. Shadow Tag gave it the ability to take out almost any Pokemon on the opponents team, especially when paired with it's massive special attack, speed, and Destiny Bond. It takes away the entire mechanic of swapping out, which is one extremely important in that game.

When your opponent has a pokemon that can break your team's strategy, you usually have to work around it. You lure it out, you hit it on swap in, ect. But when Mega Gengar comes into play, all you have to do is use Destiny Bond, and suddenly, your team has a massive advantage. It's not a strategy that takes any skill. You just effortlessly pick off the pokemon your team is weak to, and then you basically win.

If Smogon didn't need good justifications for things to be banned, Kyurem-B would never of been dropped from Ubers, and nor would full banning processes take to long(of course, there's also quick bans, but those are only for ridiculously OP Pokemon like Mega Salamence and Mega Kangaskhan).

 

[U-Throw]

If that really is Fox's design for the new Star Fox game, then I'm perfectly content. In my opinion, Fox's design from Brawl onward isn't anything special. To me, it's just kinda there. It's just a little lackluster.

However, that said, Fox's Melee design was absolutely atrocious, his Adventures design looked a little too goofy and strange, and his Assault and Command designs are in a similar position to his Brawl design, though I think both Fox's Assault and Command designs are somewhat inferior, especially his Command one.

Personally, I think that Fox's Star Fox 64 3D design, and by extension his Star Fox 64 design, is easily the best of his designs. Something about it just really makes it stand out to me, and I would be more than elated to see it become his mainstream design. I suppose his SF643D design just looks really sleek and distinctive. For example, Fox's Blaster can be seen in his official SF643D artwork, and it looks very slim and futuristic to me, something that his Blaster's modern design lacks. Also, Fox uses that same Blaster in-game in the original Super Smash Bros., and I've always preferred the pink lasers in 64 to the red ones we have today. The way he dresses appeals to me, as well, especially the lack of a scanner and the presence of a name tag. Everything he wears, down to his trademark red bandana, is brightly colored and works well with the rest of his design. Anyway, I'm starting to drag on. To sum it up, I guess I think that Fox's SF643D design is rather subtle, but it's also vey distinctive. It's much simpler than his other designs, but it also maintains that futuristic feel, and, in this case, I think less is more. In the words of the wise Wonder-Green, "Simple is best, you know!"

 

[MewtwoX825]

no this is the 64 remake render

Yep that is a different render indeed. I just took a quick look and was stupid not to compare the two.

Every Fox fan must be up-smashing in joy if this is from a new game. Of course that is if a certain someone can't let them do that...

 

[Jaguar360]

:'(

On the topic of Pokken characters, I'm holding out for Greninja and Mewtwo obviously. Would also like to see Mew, Sceptile/Serperior, Hawlucha, Pangoro, Hydreigon, Aggron and others. Porygon-Z sounds like a really cool oddball choice! I'd like to see it or something like it be included as well.

Eh it just seems like anything that disrupts their love of wall and stall and utter reliance on status and hazards it isn't long before they ban something.

Fortunately Druddigon can never be banned because it's Druddigon the best Dragon ever.

Actually what happens isn't an immediate ban. I don't do smogon but I at least check stuff, they put it in suspect test and have a point limit. Everyone who has at least the amount of points required can vote whether to ban. You get points based on how well you do. Not every player uses the same strategy meaning some can say "Ban, it's too strong" but others can say "Don't ban, it's dealt with ease if you do X"

Exactly. Most people see Smogon as this giant corporation with some fat dude smoking a cigar at his desk deciding who to ban, when in reality Smogon is almost entirely community run. Hell, even what Pokémon are in OU, UU, and such are decided almost solely on how much usage the community gives said Pokémon.
