Akko is my dear daughter!
That's obviously a reference to Panel De Pon, given by the heart shaped colorful block.
I'm real curious what's on that TV.

No, it was...Was Duck Hunt Dog the chosen dog to be in the roster instead of Nintendog?

I do agree with having Nintendog as in a "Toad"-like state, since there are so many breeds of Nintendog (although I never was expecting Nintendog to be playable).

Boney should be a clay figure in game. So that way no one can complain about him being a dog!

For the love of God guys, you truly have some grieving issues.
Let them go, come on.
Toad and the ****ING DOGS won't be playable. Get over it already.

I think the difference between Toads state and Nintendogs state is that Toad is the regular colour, but Nintendogs AT wasn't a Labrador Retriever.

There's too much debate for me to claim them as dead. Even though there is no chance that Nintendog will be playable, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE that it's disconfirmed. Same with Toad. I think he's probably not going to join the fight, yet there's still a lot of support and belief. So, they're not dead yet. Not trying to piss you off, just doing my job.

Finally someone with a bit of common sense.
I get what you're saying, but it's like Philosophy:
Can you prove the sun will rise tomorow? Although it seems fairly obvious that is will, and you can believe it, it can still be false and can happen because we just do not know for certain. Kinda the same thing (although mine is an extreme example), we kind of know they won't be in the game as playable but there is that speck of chance they are. So, to be professional, I guess APC99 is just using consensus and validity.
On the same basis however we could say Toon Link won't be in the game, but I'll try and keep my own example from shooting me in the foot.

I'm not against APC99. I'm against no-one to be honest.
I just find pretty laughable that someone would care enough to come up and say "We'll there's still a chance a LABRADOR will be playable.".
I get Toad, kinda... But a dog. A ****ing dog. Come on, let it go.

He should have had his cat be the Assist.
I mean, who wouldn't be going DAAAAW WOOK AT THE WITTLE KITTY if they saw this pawing at the screen?
Speaking of his cat, did he ever say what its name was?

Did somebody say.....
....CATS?
(really though. I don't recall Sakurai ever saying what the name of his cat is)

Because Nintendogs is a great franchise with good relevancy to modern Nintendo. Like Dr. Kawashima, it's a character from a modern casual franchise who hasn't had the chance to fight. If you want to learn WHY we want Nintendog:

Never been interested in the idea of a playable Nintendog, personally.

Wii Fit Trainer doesn't have potential problems with PETA.

To be fair, the idea of Nintendog was first brought up around here after Wii Fit Trianer was revealed, it's very unlikely we'll be getting anymore WTF newcomers, and Nintendog is also a far less viable character than Wii Fit Trainer.

If you'd bothered to read the moveset in the Nintendog thread you'd see a solution to that.

PETA being the stupid people they are, would probably frown upon a puppy being a fighter. Regardless, of how it was implemented.
Nintendog isn't a character though ... it's a dog.
It doesn't represent Nintendo, it represents a species of animals in real life. It's not cartooney, but extremely realistic. I'm surprised Sakurai warranted them as important enough to be Assist Trophies and that's probably all the recognition they'll get. They did propel DS sales in the early days of the handheld to target younger kids but it is far from a worthy IP to be represented in Smash as a fighter. I feel this goes without saying but it will not be a playable character.

Forget about this?:
And if it doesn't represent Nintendo, why is it in Smash?
Whay is Nintendo part of it's name?
HMMMMM????

Oh crap my bad, tooootally forgot about that stage, sorry it's late lol.
Well like I said, it was a very high selling game during the early days of the DS. As Sakurai said, he'd represent the 3DS title with stages from portable games. So a stage isn't too mind boggling, , just like how I expect a Brain Age stage. Look it up, I believe Nintendogs is up there with New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart DS. I just think this is as far as itll go and doubt seeing them as a character for a number of reasons.
A) they are far from iconic characters, but they helped the DS in it's first little charge
B) They are dogs! They don't bring too much interest to the table in terms of uniqueness and moveset. I know there is one of the thread, but it's really stretching it. They aren't naturally unique like Paper Mario or Pit are.
I feel like they'll only be warranted a stage. If Nintendogs stayed relevant for longer than it did then there chance may have been greater.

Why do you waste time in this subject lol?
Everyone with a brain and a little common sense knows it to be right anyway.

I created the support thread, yes, but I didn't in anyway believe that Nintendog would get in. It was mostly based on the "Villager and Nintendog can't fight" statement from Brawl's development.

What would the Nintendog's moveset even be?
Like, tossing frisbees at people?
And seeing the Dog jumping / double jumping would be severley awkward.
Plus, you're wasting a valuable character slot that could've been Ridley, or K Rool, or Dixie, or Lil Mac!

For the last time, no one was expecting Nintendog to be playable, nor did anyone think it had a very good chance of getting in. (well, BluePikmin11 might have thought it had a good chance. That's it though)
As for potential, I do think the Nintendog never really had much. Also, I'm certain it would be a rather awkward charcter in some regards no matter what would be done to it.

Nintendog isn't iconic to Nintendo as such, because they're... well, just dogs. They look exactly like real life dogs, just with a fancy name to rep Nintendo. Saying that a Nintendog is iconic to Nintendo is basically saying that a real life puppy is iconic to Nintendo too, there's nothing distinct about them in terms of looks to really make them stand out. The Nintendogs series is iconic for sure, but the dogs themselves aren't, and thus it's absolutely fine that the franchise is limited to ATs and stages.
