I was at the front line of that war along with Stryk's and a few others... hey... YOU SHOULD ALL HONOR ME!!
Now start groveling for such a Lucario defender.
In the final days of the war, I was totally there as well! =P
Honestly, I want Lucario in
just to prove him wrong. I don't really care for Lucario or the rest of the fourth generation myself at all, but it IS a part of the series, and therefore deserves representation.
_the_sandman wouldn't change his views just because Drifloom appears in the background, though. I mean we have Groudon, Deoxys, and Chikorita as Pokeballs, but he never changed his views then, now did he? I bet you he'd say "That doesn't prove anything! It's just a background Pokemon, not a playable Pokemon."
I don't know if any of you have recognized this... but in the music update...
It specifically notes that the stage is from Twilight Princess. I'm not one to make crazy assumptions, but this means that stages, and possibly even characters (contradicting sandman's theory.) may come from more then one game...
