. . . Well, I didn't feel like making much of my own post so I bolded my reply.(actually, I was replying to your "Why?" post, which concerned Blaze AND lucario.) . . . Thats kind of odd, seeing as said post didn't support Blaziken to the least bit and your post sounded as if you where refering to someone who was supporting her in that post. . .I was asking WHY he thinks Lucario "deserves" to be in more than any other pokemon. . . I have learned to look pass his odd Blaze-hate
Some points you ignored.
1) Unless they get one from a copy of Ruby, Saphire, or Emerald, noone can get Blaze on their D+P cartrige... Wereas almost EVERY OTHER pokemon can. (No starters, no legendary trios, and no event or game specific legendaries. Everything else is catchable) Actually, I did look at this point. I said "As in, ALL pokemon are in DP. Don't have to be a wild and/or trained pokemon int said game to be traded in". Thats also the reason they let you trade. . . ya know, to get all the pokemon (even the ones not seen in the game). Saying Blaziken isn't "in the game" is like saying. . . Electivire isn't in the game because you either need to trade for it or have the older game, get a Elekid with some item and trade it over.
2) Lucario was the first ORIGINAL 4th gen pokemon revealed, (he wasn't a preevo of existing pokemon, line Snorelax or Sudowodo). . .and this effects things how? Im sure there was a coo 2nd gen pokemon seen after Pichu. . .but that really doesn't take away from his step in the spot light. And plus, Munch is still (it it's core meaning) a new pokemon. . . he wasn't in RBE and is only fond in DP. He just happens to be a younger form of Snor.
3) and as for the "add them all up, they are still only a small percentage of the people who bought melee" argument... that's grasping at straws. Do you know what the phrase "representational cross-section" is? Smashboards is a large enough sample size that the margin of error is fairly reasonable. . . .Im not "grasping at straws" homs, it's just the numbers. I can't see how a site with fewer than 60,000 active members with a total of about 1,000 memebers who actually voted on the old pokemon voting thread (which Blaziken won I might add) repersent the millions of SSBM fans that may very well not have the slightest clue who Lucario is or the millions of reg people who don't know as much about pokemon as we do because they don't feel the need to research the newest gens (which would cause them to not know who he is). I can atleast say that 2/3 of the people who got RSE know Blaziken well I have in 2 personal events seen people not know what Lucario was (That pokey fanactic girl and a Sony fan-boy who looked at my Blaze+Lucario pic you have a problem with).
Like I said, Lucario is popular. . .On-Line. . .to those smash fans that voice their opinion about pokemon in SSBB that happen to know what he is. Needless to say that on-line fan-base, well it will have some part in what Sakurai sees as popular, will not be the only out-lit he uses to know what the massives like.
I do too,guess what i find him crappy.I got a Lucario in Diamond now... He's awesome.
it is fair,you cab say ground>infernape.i dont care.this thread is related to lucario's brawl status and was made by lucario fans for lucario fans so ssshhhh. and its not really fair to compare lucaroi to a pokemon who's two types are super effective against lucario now is it?
