I don't mind slightly modernized Pac Man, just as long as they ditch those creepy eyes. Seriously, every time I see an image of Pac-Man with those horrid giant blue eyes, I die a little inside. It just creeps me out that badly.

Oh boy...

I know it is kind of cliche but Scizor shares Charizard's distinction of remaining popular even when it sucked, except Scizor's sucky period has been far shorter and has been the most widely used competitive battler for three generations straight

Being used in competitive play doesn't mean anything and is a pretty poor reason to justify someone's inclusion. Daisy is one of the most used characters online in Mario Kart Wii even though she's The Scrappy. People just use a character like that because their effective, not because they actually like the.

Blazekin's concept and design are taken far more seriously than a kick boxing chicken ever should be (which is really the problem with all three of the Hoenn starters)

That's your opinion.

And besides, Scizor has never had a movie. At the very least, you can admit that that is something working against it.

Read:Shallow Advertising.

Mewtwo had very little significance after his movies and Gold/Silver. He was riding off of those and Red/Green/Blue/Yellow at the time. The latest movie brought him into light, and just being in FR/LG was not enough.

Mewtwo is the most iconic legendary Pokemon ever. He doesn't need to show up in the most recent game to be "significant". It's like how King K Rool doesn't need to be the Big Bad of every single DK game to keep his title of the series' villain.

Not really, what would be so bad about Torterra or Metroid Prime as playable characters? Scolipede is the only suggestion highlighted that has not already been proposed by someone else or had presence in Smash Bros to some degree already and I see an eight foot tall centipede with claws on its "neck" wielding a baseball bat or super scope as nothing less than so cool its awesome.

Do you seriously think these two look like the kind of thing that that would work in Smash. Seriously, Torterra. I don't even.

Not to mention how you have suggest Pokemon like Zygarde and Metagross to be playable.

I'm going to have to conclude that this is trolling. There is no way this is genuine.

Anyway, Zygarde would be a better choice than Mewtwo in one small but important area: Advertising. What better way to hype that inevitable installment than a spot on the smash bros roster?

This is a stupid reason. I don't want to see this kind of thinking from anyone. This how companies like EA and Activision think.

First, a disclaimer. The following is to be taken completely in isolation. This isn't an indication of me agreeing with anything else in his post.

But Ivysaur did show us that quadripedal fighters (that don't rear up on their hind legs like Pikachu) can work, so something like Torterra or Metagross isn't really outside of the realm of possibility.

Which isn't to say that I think them more deserving than Mewtwo (because, I mean, come on), but they could work as well as any other Pokemon.

[up]Ivysaur is smaller. Ivysaur is more agile. Ivysaur uses his vines to substitute for hands. Ivysaur isn't the size of a family car.

Seriously, why would you even begin to take the suggestion of playable Torterra seriously.

True, Grotle would be more realistic than Torterra. Like Venusaur and Ridley, Torterra is probably too big.

As for grabbing things, the Torterra line doens't have Vine Whip, but I suppose one can do a lot with the powerful jaw of a snapping turtle. In comparison, Metagross is a much more difficult to deal with, as his mouth is on his underside, like a squid.

This is all hypothetical, of course.

Like Venusaur and Ridley, Torterra is probably too big.

Again, I don't see why characters can't be resized as necessary to make them fit, especially with the examples we've already seen.

Ridley would admittedly look ridiculous if resized to Bowser's size. I've already mentioned my idea, no? His bigness is a strength and weakness?

[up][up]Are you seriously suggesting we get a Torterra about the size of Ivysaur?

Why are you people even seriously considering this? This is ludicrous.

Why should we need to resize a Pokemon when it has a perfectly servicable previous evolution that woul solve the size issue without causing some weird iferences in scale wih the other Pokemon it shares a roster with? I mean, hey used Ivysaur instead of, say, Venusaur.

Yes, my keyboard is having issues.

[up] Well, for my part, I'm not seriously considering Torterra (or Grotle) as a playable choice. There's far more usable Pokemon. My only point is that the fact that Torterra's a quadriped isn't really a major opposition to its chances. There are major opposing forces to him, but I'm jus saying that's not one of hem.

[up] Ask someone who's seriously considering him. This is more of a thought experiment to me.

Unfortunately, the fact that a quadripedal shape can work for a playable character is almost pointless information, as the only other series I can hink of with such characters is Fire Emblem. Either someone on a horse, like Eliwood, or a Taguel, like Panne.

Well, I guess Wolf Link, too.

There's far more usable Pokemon.

He never said that. All he said was "Yellow characters."

Character doesn't necessarily mean playable character.
