Is talking Pokemon still cool and hip?

Cause in my fever-induced half asleep/half awake state, I was arguing myself internally that the Pokemon starters of Sword and Shield are based on sports. The monkey would be based on relay/marathon/track and field/baton passing, the rabbit either soccer or rugby, and the emonewt being swimming related sports.

My fever induced self told myself I was an idiot and to go to sleep. I then tried “finding” a form that authenticate that I could go to sleep but realized that I had to have it signed by my section chief who is currently out of town. So I resigned myself to not sleeping and to having feverish episodes of insanity.

So is there a Smash character that keeps getting worse and worse each game?

I mean, the closest I could think of is Zelda and Falco, but both got buffed in Ult (I think, still not a lot of people play them), but aside from that, I can't think of other examples.
I'm still going back and forth on this one, but I'm tempted to say that Marth might actually fit this.
Now hear me out, I'm not saying Marth is a bad character, far from it. If anything, he has been one of the few characters who has consistently perfomed very well throughout all Smash games.
That said, it seems that with each new game, he takes a small step backwards. In each installment, he goes a bit down in position.
In Melee, he's generally considered to be around Top 3. In Brawl, top 5. In Sm4sh, top 10. And in Ultimate so far he's generally placed around the top 15-20.
Admittedly, this all up for discussion and in Ultimate's case, the game and its meta are still growing so that could change just as how it happened in Sm4sh.

r/SmashBros thought he was gonna be broken with that one change. Haha.


But back on Meta Knight, remember how he was supposedly broken pre-release?

Ha.

I wonder how they'll make him worse in Smash 6.
The prerelease Meta Knight scare reminded me of the early Smash 4 days where several top players swore that Duck Hunt would be top tier due to their zoning game.

But yeah, if we include 4's newcomers, then :ultrosalina::ultlittlemac::ultbowserjr::ultryu::ultcloud::ultcorrinf::ultbayonetta: are all significantly worse in Ultimate.
Wait, how in terms of Bowser Junior? Bowser Junior was barely changed from Smash 4, if not changed at all.
Also, Corrin is worse in Ultimate, but she is no longer bad. I would not say "significantly" worse for Corrin.

Oh wait, Diddy Kong kinda fits the bill with getting worse with each Smash game, since he was slightly worse near the end of Smash 4's lifespan, and was significantly worse in Ultimate.

Jr. went from low tier to bottom tier. That's a significant drop.

I will have Rocket the Zigzagoon plz
Because this is a randomizer, I was like "there's no way I'm ever getting a Zigzagoon", but I literally just ran into one, and I'd like to think you somehow willed it into existence.

I was thinking that they could also reference only soccer with the monkey being the fans, the bunny being the player and the newt being the manager crying due to the team being in peril of failing to remain in the division.
ABOUT TO GO SEE ENDGAME
Enjoy!

I remember the times Bayonetta dominated the scene.
Das Koopa made a lot of charts about it, and one where Bayonetta in Smash 4 needed to be examined to see if she was too good.
This was after Bayonetta got those patches, too.

If you get a Ponyta tehponycorn is too fitting of a name for it.

Infernape and Gallade are two of my favorite Pokemon if you ever get one or the other.

They wanted Little Mac mains to feel like they were playing Punch-Out!! again. Get to the top while being behind.
Well what if really feels like is as if Little Mac tried to go against Mr. Sandman as a double amputee.

Critical Hit Poison Jab?

Critical Hit Poison Jab.

I think I'll take a break before the Umbra Moon run to do a wonderlocke of Sun or something as a part of my Generationlocke). That'll give me 18 Pokemon to bring into Umbra Moon (The Champions from Neo Y, Insurgence, and Sun respectively).

So I already have an intense backlog, and i’m already making plans to play particular games over the summer. The following are games I own and/or still have to beat:

Tales of Vesperia
Yoshi’s Crafted World (close to beating it, but still would have to 100% it)
Octopath Traveler (haven’t finished the whole thing)
The World Ends With You Switch
Resident Evil Revelations 1
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Dragon Quest XI (have the PS4 version but i’ll probably be trading it in for the Switch version when it comes out)

However, I suddenly have the urge to play a more retro game (even though I really, really shouldn’t add more on). This would include:

A Link to the Past (have never played it)
Chrono Trigger (again, have never played it)

Does anybody recommend any particular game to start with? I was thinking Resident Evil Revelations after Yoshi because it’s another shorter game, but some of these other picks seem awesome too.

I have way too many games, but i’m also the person who buys them typically on release day. I should probably stop doing that.

Nah, they were isekai'd into your randomizer run somehow. They're stuck in your game now.

Chrono Trigger and "never played" should never be in the same sentence.
