Captain Falcon was available from the start in Melee, alongside Ness.

There are plenty of Pokemon already, but Jigglypuff still adds plenty to the game, namely by having an awesome air game and the pinnacle of Difficult, but Awesome in her Down-B. Ness has always been weak, but that shouldn't matter much. He's an extremely unique character, though I don't know if Earthbound being on the Virtual Console could factor in.

Those two may not be nearly as memetic as the good Captain, but I think the game would really lose something by having them gone.

I don't think Sceptile is getting in, since if Greninja wasn't decided on right away that would mean they probably aren't going for a Fire/Water/Grass triangle.

Good. They might be tempted to reuse that Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors bullshit from Brawl.

You can also use {{curly braces}} [[Tropers/{{0dd1}} like so]].

EDIT: Why isn't that working? That should be working.

Well, the whole point of the mechanic was to be a Pokemon series reference included with the Pokemon Trainer's "team gameplay" style. None of the other Pokemon in Brawl except for the Pokemon Trainer was affected by it.

Since there's no Pokemon Trainer, who's whole gimmick revolved around his three Pokemon, they have no reason to add the elemental power-play element back into the fourth game, especially if they add a Grass type in. All they'd be doing is repeating what was wrong with the mechanic in the first place.

What I'm saying is, I can't see the devs be "tempted" to reuse the mechanic again in the first place, even if they did re-implement the Pokemon Trainer. Mostly because Sakurai seems like he's aiming to fix (or avoid repeating) some of the issues people had with some of the elements he added in Brawl.

All 3 of Pokemon Trainer's mechanics were fairly annoying in general. Forced Switching(albeit, I personally liked this one, but I do see how it's an issue too, if you're trying to main one of them), Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors(especially since Charizard had less weaknesses than the others. Most Water moves did little damage. That said, this can stay gone regardless), and Them Getting Worn Out(I forgot the name of it, but yeah. That was just ridiculous and made all of them alone not viable in any possible way, forcing a team, even if you'd prefer not to. At least with the first issue, you can be allowed to switch back during the Match as a special rule. It's silly, but it's doable).

[up]The thing with Charizard was worse than that: the only water attacks that dealt damage were from another PKMN Trainer (or Kirby, I suppose that might count).

Also, it's called Stamina.

The worst thing about that is that the already terrible Ivysaur has the most common weakness.

Grass types, man. They don't have it easy.

Also.

It's a shame my upbringing was too Protestant and borderline-Atheist to hope to compete with a Catholic's many ceremonies and cool Latinish phrases.

Pokemon stamina was perhaps the worst part about the PKMN Trainer. It pretty much forced the player to switch up between the Pokemon, regardless of if the player wanted to focus on one pokemon throughout the fight. The mechanic just didn't translate well in a Smash setting IMO.

Also, here's a codec of Zamus I just made.

  • Palutena: Pit, what's up with your face? It's as red as a tomato.

  • Pit: Uh, what are you talking about milady? My face isn't red. Never have been through out this fight...

  • Palutena: Stop lying to the all seeing goddess Pit. Is it because you're fighting Samus in her Zero Suit? It's not okay to stare...

  • Pit: Well, yeah I am fighting Zero Suit Samus, but I swear it's not the reason I'm like this! Honest!

  • Palutena: Sure it isn't. Anyway, I'd stay clear of those kicks if I was you. She's seems to have armed herself with boots that are attached with rockets. She's also armed with that gun that paralyze if you... Pit are you listening to me?!

  • Pit: Huh? Oh sure milady! Rocket boots and the Paralyzer. Gotta look out for that!

  • Palutena: -sigh- Pit, I were you I'd keep those thoughts in check, especially around the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy!

  • Pit: Sorry milady. Can't be helped huh? -nervous laughing-

I wonder if an angel falling for a human (though calling a hybrid like Samus "human" at this point would be a stretch) could be considered a form of bestiality...

I don't know if angels have the exact right equipment for this kind of job, being a different species and all. Then again, the rest of them is basically human...

Yeah, I'm just spouting out my grey matter garbage at this point.

At this point, I doubt Samus counts as any single species.

I think relationships between sentient humanoid species generally aren't considered bestiality regardless of whether or not they're the same species.

Yep.

Angels aren't even supposed to look human.

But the type of angel Pit is? Eh, I don't consider it bestiality.

Pit's sapient and is capable of making choices and giving consent. Also, some of the dialogue seems to suggest he's capable of a sex drive, so in his case he probably does have said equipment.

[up] It saddens me to see perfectly innocent words associated only with a particularly poor user of them. What did those words do to you?
