Even tho i like squirtle, he's not coming back. Liking a character is not reason enough for it to come back. Every character who was cut, was liked by someone.

I am aware of that, but that's why they shouldn't have given greninja water katanas at all if sceptile was going to be in the game!
That's because theyre going for a gen I - V - VI trio. Serperior is superior

The fact that Snivy was shown amongst the other Pokeball Pokemon, I'm very sceptile skeptical of Serperior's superiority. If it were the third starter, I would not complain, other than pointing out they missed out on prime time promotion of OR/AS not using Sceptile.

Serperior is my next favorite starter so I would be hyped for Serperior too and could move past Sceptile's absence. Only thing is, how would he manipulate items?

But wait, this just now occurred to me, can snakes jump? O_o i feel like it would look really awkward for a huge snake to be slithering around with guns being held by his tail and jumping around.

Some snakes can lunge and throw themselfs. It could coil up and spring jump.

He would be all whips, and not rely on something similar to Greninja. Either game (V or III) deserves a character to represent them, so I would be fine with either. Even if they aren't the best choices from those Generations (Zoroark, Doexys, Gardevior)

B> Vine whip: Serperior's tail extents and lashes out like zamus' whip.
B^ Leaf Tornado: A flurry of leaves engulf serperior as it is lifted into the air a short ways. (Does a good deal of damage to those around it)
B Gastric Acid: A chargable (think squirtle's water gun) acid liquid that can be spit at opponents. The more you charge the more % it will wrack up on a hit opponent.
BV Leer: Serperior stops an opponent dead in their tracks with a nasty glare. Stuns opponents.

would be a nice, moveset.

They did an awesome job on Mega Swampert too, but hot damn. Mega Sceptile looks like a fk'ing beast!

Get the hype train engines warmed back up folks! Perfect timing for E3! Coincidence? I thinketh not.

Mega Sceptile looks killer, and I'm fairly surprised at that considering I've not been a big fan of the majority of Mega Evolutions.

Mega Sceptile is now the first Grass/Dragon type Pokémon! ( Just felt like pointing that out ) Which is an awesome type combination but now Ice types are even more of a threat to him. I wish they had given him different ability not that Lightningrod is bad or anything.

I didnt even realize that was supposed to be Diancie. Also, that Grass/Dragon typing. and lightning rod with double electric resistance? That could make for some sick doubles matches.

Ice types are largely going to be ohkoing him even with out the dragon typing. That's his biggest set back perhaps, but his speed and power with dragon-stab is going to make him a dragon slayer, now with nuetral fire damage.

Edit: also fairies

I noticed the resistance he would get from Fire type attacks now however i didn't notice until you pointed it out of how much of a Dragon slayer he would be.

Lightning Rod gives immunity.

Ugh, Mega Swampert is ugly. But hey, we're one step closer to playable Sceptile in Smash. I'm getting the same vibe form him I got from Greninja, so I guess it's possible.

Mega Sceptile looks amazing, period. The rest of the Mega Evos are great too.

Poor Pikachu is going to have a tough time handling Sceptile's Final Smash with that Lightning Rod.

I'm hoping Sceptile receives some nice buffs to his special movepool, which has always been lacking.

I'm super hyped right now. I knew it was coming, but to actually see it is glorious.

Ounce again the choice between Sceptile and Swampert is going to be impossible, that dragon typing vs those Anchor arms... total bull there is no Mega metagross.

There still could be, I don't see why they would show all the Megas pre-release. I would expect Mega-Metagross to not be shown until the champion battle.

I doubt it Stevens signature pokemon is metagross but he's using a mega charizard x, Honestly kinda killed my hype for my favorite champion so I hope I'm wrong.
