Apparently Sceptile just got a Mega Evolution

Watch people speculate about whether or not this increases his chance of being in.

The only way I want Sceptile is if it's only Mega Sceptile.

It seems like Sceptile's odds are getting better and better.

As much as I want Sceptile in, I don't really want him having Mega Evolution.

If he's in, and not Mega Sceptile by default, then Mega Evolution will be his Final Smash.

Hm? Why are people anticipating Sceptile? Does it have something to do with "rounding out" or emulating the Pokemon Trainer's team typing from Brawl?

Yeah, it's to round out the starter typings.

I, personally, am neutral on Sceptile. I'll only take him if he's really low tier. :P

I don't care for sceptile. Considering how pimp treeko and Grovyle are he just seems a step down. Personally I'd prefer...almost any grass starter, honestly. Torterra would be neat since he's on all 4's and there aren't many fighters like that. Assuming Charizard is heavy and Greninja is light, Meganium would be a fun middle ground.

Maybe they can have a Pokemon Trainer character with Hoenn starters?

There won't be another Pokémon Trainer, I don't think. All characters who used to change forms won't anymore, and I think Pokémon Trainer technically falls under that category (although he tag-teams instead of changing forms, it's the same kind of mechanic.)

Well, since Blaziken already had a Mega Evolution, I can't say I'm surprised at all.

[up][up]Since they've pretty much scrapped the character-switching thing, I'm personally kinda doubtful that that'll happen.

... Now thinking back to the official Smash Poll...

N got a crapton of votes....

To make him work, he has to have some Pokemon.

Or maybe he'll end up like Skull Kid: lots of votes, stuck as an assist trophy.

... As an assist trophy, N could send out Reshiram/Zekrom, possibly.

Unless they make it so that the Pokemon Trainer can fight alongside his/her pokemon, I don't think we'll see him/her as a playable character.

Also, have E3 newcomer and veteran reveal polls.

The only way PT has a decent chance if he/she can use the various items for attacks, at this point. And there's a lot of items to make a moveset off of.

That said, I don't expect a return.

And nah, Mega Evolution for Sceptile isn't a blatant "will be" Final Smash. It could be one, but not some guaranteed thing. If he's in, he'll likely be his regular form, but there's no way to tell what his Final Smash would be. If Mewtwo returns, I don't expect a Mega Evolution either, but it's on the table as a possibility. Psystrike is another realistic option.

I'm still suprised that the Wii U couldn't handle multiple transformation characters.

#45541: Jun 7th 2014 at 12:50:04 PM

It can. But the 3DS can't apparently. The gameplay needs to be the same for everyone, so he can't really cater to one version and make them play differently.

It's not that it couldn't handle them, it's that Sakurai decided "people only ever seem to play as one of them anyway, so let's just give both characters more tools".

I sure said that!

But Kirby can switch between dozen of transformations in K 3 D, each with different models and movesets.

See Pulse's post. Even if there was technical limitations, transformations were not that popular.(and it's very unbalanced from a gameplay standpoint) I liked them, but I can understand why people don't bother to use transformations as is.

It's not a change without merit, at least. A lot of people would stick to one form or the other, and usually dislike changing forms. Probably because of how long it takes to switch (Zelda/Sheik), or how it's forced (Zero Suit/Samus and Pokémon Trainer).

Honestly, I'd rather have Grovyle over Sceptile because design and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

And on Rising music, I really hope at least one shows up if Snake comes back. Also, obligatory picture of Grey Fox/Raiden assist trophies next to Shiek and Greninja.

Too bad chance of that is really low because Smash IIRC never referenced any of the spin-off Pokémon games. Yes, anime gets a reference, but none of the spin-offs.

I always liked Sceptile. Never was quite sure why it's disliked.

I do expect MMY if Mewtwo gets in, seeing how heavily it was promoted. Psystrike can still be incorporated into it somehow, whether in the FS or not.

[up][up] Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind a level or two from a Pokemon spin-off. (I'm thinking PMD Sky Tower, but that's just me.) Or at the very least a soundtrack piece or two.

Although I suppose technically the Pokemon Stadium stages count as "referencing spinoffs"? tongue
