Elbruno: Gen VI representation, mostly. Apart from maybe the starters (all of which are bipedal (or could easily be so) in their final forms), it's the only candidate prominent enough to net a spot.

Not especially likely, but if Gen VI gets a slot, it'll probably be Sylveon.

I remember as a kid I made some specials for Victini a while ago.

All I remember was Side-B being Incinerate, a projectile which automatically destroys any items the victim is holding when they're hit, baring maybe the Franklin Badge.

And I have a full moveset for Pac-Man right here: N/A.tongue

Eh, I'm not a fan of making Pac-Man playable. He's viable, of course. I won't lie about that.

I don't expect him, but I do think he has a fair chance to get in.

we should probably switch to something we can all agree on: The inclusion of Pac-Man!

something we can all agree on

Yeah, sorry I didn't reply. This thread goes way too fast sometimes.

I always figured if they exaggerated Pichu's single strength of actually having more powerful electrical attacks than Pikachu then maybe it could be fun, but then the Broken Base comes in saying NOOOOO PICHU HAS TO SUCK IT'S WHAT HE'S KNOWN FOR

That's my thought exactly. His moves could be more powerful, but have disadvantages in some way.

Sylveon won't be playable, but with those ribbons I'm sure a moveset wouldn't be too difficult to come up with. Regardless, gen 6 doesn't have any obvious candidates, but if one is deemed necessary for whatever reason Sylveon will be first in line.

I'm not for Pac-man, but I'd accept him. There are people I'd prefer even from Namco, but he's hardly the worst character that could be included.

I personally think we're just fine with only Pikachu.

Not especially likely, but if Gen VI gets a slot, it'll probably be Sylveon.

Makes sense, but I just don't see it happening.

But Slyveon is the obvious candidate for a generation six representation. It's the main Pokemon used to market the games and it's popular on the same level as Lucario and Zoroark for their respective games.

Yeah, Pichu is definitely on the low end of my Smash wishlist, but if he were in again for whatever odd reason then they should at least give him something.

#31643: Jan 4th 2014 at 9:05:12 PM

Sylveon is reasonably popular, but it's nowhere near Lucario's fame. Maybe around Zoroark's level, but that thing suffered a lot of Hype Backlash.

But does Sylveon have interesitng moves? Would Sylveon be a fun character to play as? And is there somethting in Kalos that would be better at that job?

[up][up][up][up]I'm pretty sure Sylveon's last moment of focus in advertising was the reveal of Fairy type. Mega Evolutions took up advertising Gen 6 after that.

The most marketed Mega Evolutions were for Pokemon that were already in Smash Bros, though. Namely, Lucario, Charizard, and Mewtwo.

Yeah, Zoroark isn't as popular as Lucario. Sylveon was the posterboy for Fairies specifically. And the Fairy type got a lot of backlash. So... I'm not so sure he could really ever be on Lucario's level.

@Nap: To be honest, I feel like Lucario's style of gameplay fits perfectly for Pichu. Mind you, I've read some who can't stand the aura-based gameplay and consider it a crutch on the character. I see their point, although I find the aura interesting myself.

[up][up]And Blaziken, right?

Speaking of which nobody brought up Blaziken for a possible candidate and that saddens me.

And the Fairy type got a lot of backlash.

It was mainly Dragon-type fanboys getting uppity about losing the OP-ness of their type.

That's the issue with Comeback Mechanics. Too many times they end up being a crutch rather than an extra tool.

The Fairy type got a lot of backlash. I'm emphasizing the past tense here, because now he game's out, I'm not seeing a lot of backlash to it. It's just treated as another type, and a, by some accounts, necessary shake-up tot the type formula.
