It is mentioned in a 2002 Famitsu that a character such as Pokemon Trainer would've been taken too much time and effort to pull off in Melee (though he mentioned it about an idea he had for a Johto Trainer using the Johto starters, which later "evolved" into the Pokemon Trainer concept in Brawl with the Kanto starters instead.).
I'd thought I heard of that, I just wasn't sure. Thanks for that, though.
Or he couldn't figure out the Pokemon Trainer mechanics in Melee...much like how Pit's flight predicament in SSB64 and SSBM.
Go here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=325386 and see how wrong you are. There are a few who don't but most have some specifications.
Keep in mind, though that this was under the presumption of limited space. It's not really a valid point, in my opinion.
Except here people want different characters cut, there is real no majority opinion on one character being cut, which means if there were to be any cuts, there would be a harsh backlash. Plus it was a wishlist type hypothetical question.
I wasn't really referring to how Nintendo handled the backlash, more the Smash community, but we really don't know Nintendo and Sakurai's opinion on the Mewtwo and Roy backlash yet. They obviously weren't going to add them after the game already came out, so we'll find out how Nintendo responds to the backlash about the popular character that were cut based on if they return in SSB4.
Playing only as Blaziken would take away from the uniqueness of the character and remove the point. If you want to have a boy/girl palette swap, then you can always play as Rui, couldn't you?
Zelda and Sheik don't have a fatigue system, so you can only play as one if you want, yet their uniqueness and point still remain. I don't advocate for a Hoenn trainer, but removing the fatigue system for any Pokemon Trainer would only benefit the character.
I know, but he wanted a Brendan/May palette swap, which would make little sense, I just threw it in there so that it doesn't fall behind hoenn trainer.
Yes, but like I said, knowing Sakurai if Brendan/May got in they would either be referred to as Pokemon Trainer (if the original somehow gets cut) or more likely Hoenn Trainer. As both Brendan and May are the Hoenn Trainer, a palette swap (or rather model swap) between them would still make much more sense than a swap between two characters that play different roles (one the main playable character and one a supporting NPC), and would have different names in Smash. Not to mention Rui doesn't use any Pokemon. It would be like swapping Ness for Paula (not counting that Paula is the character that actually uses most of Ness's attacks in the game), it wouldn't make any sense.
Me too. If anyone asks, I say my finger slipped when I picked the character
). I think I'm going to pick the male trainer for B2/W2 though, I'm not a big fan of the female trainer. 
I rarely use my real name in the Pokemon games, I just combined my 2 favourite pokemon's names... Celever if I'm playing a boy, and Snobi if I'm a girl. Simple.Honestly I think the female trainers on average have better designs than the male ones. The only time I thought the male trainer had the better design and played as him (not counting games before there was a choice) was in HeartGold/SoulSilver (why didn't they bring back Kris!?
I remember it was always weird when I would play the 1st/2nd gen games (except Crystal) and be walking around as a male trainer with my female name.
And in an effort to be on topic, I thought Wes was a pretty cool looking trainer, moreso than Michael, but it sort of just made me wish the protagonists in the main games were older.
Female's got quite a get-up, if I do say so, myself.
Blasphemy!
Where's the dancing afro when you need him!? He'd own you with his fat dancing lilypads... Anyway... Miror B kidnapped a Plusle for crying out loud, from one of the best trainers in Orre may I add. Blasphemy! Blasphemy indeed...
:O! You do know what you just said, don't you. You're now in for a world of hate.
Yeah, I don't use my name anymore, I just was too uncreative back in Gen I/II to come up with anything else.
Even before she dressed up as a superhero, ninja, or royalty (among other things) I would agree it's quite a get up (I haven't been following the B2/W2 plot, so I have no idea why the protagonists are dressing up like this). Personally I still don't much like her design, but I'm interested to see if they will ever be able to come up with another protagonist that can out-match her hair. It still makes me laugh.
I didn't even know that specific comic existed.All this gender talk, and nobody made this joke yet?
Internet, I am dissapoint.
I was talking about the Oak "are you a boy or a girl" joke. Surely you knew about that. And if not, then get out of my house.
Nah, nah I knew about the joke, it's just that comic is much better than most*
What? Steal Pikachu? Smooooooth...
Read the OP. Anyways... Colosseum got more popularity then XD, so logically Wes is the best choice.
Donkey Kong was the very first Nintendo Character ever released in video games, so logically he should be the mascot.
