The textbox at the bottom is a nice touch, it would be cool if it said something like "Meta Knight Fainted!" or something when it scores a KO.

Pokemon Trainer should have a move where he throws pokeballs at other players in an attempt to capture them as "pokemon". Then, maybe he could throw them back - preferrably over a ledge or something so they would die. It would be the same idea as DK's ability to pick up characters and throw them off ledges.

That'd work if you actually played as the trainer himself, but you're playing as his Pokemon instead, and they can't throw pokeballs.

When you press down+b to switch pokemon, you're technically playing as the trainer.

I didn't say they really were the literally most powerful, but you aren't arguing they are the signature/most known moves of that era, right?

Like, everyone had them, and they were used in the anime every other episode, etc.

You have a point but it would have been cooler if Nintendo stuck to the games moreso than "whatever the random public knows". I mean they've been sticking to that sort of cool detail for other games- little things than make fans all giddy when a tiny little thing is included.

I guess it can be blamed on the popularity of that shitty cartoon that gave a bad name to the best game series ever.

I see what you're getting at, but at the same time, a lot of the older fans remember the earliest part of the series and that's what gives them that "giddy" feeling you're talking about. A friend of mine who still plays Pokemon agrees with me about the whole move list and he'd rather see the older moves than the newer updated ones mentioned above.

I used to play it back in the day, but I gave up once the series went past the original 151. A lot of the older fans did too, including most of my friends whom I smash with. I'd much rather have the three classic signature moves than the new ones, but I guess it's because I'm somewhat biased.

The new ones that I mentioned were all in the originals and even back then they were still better moves.

I hope they add like a 1% chance that when the PT throws a pokeball it comes out as magicarp or something. And maybe the mushroom item could evolve the pokemon instead of making it bigger, and poison mushroom could de-evolve it? :O

They weren't the moves the Pokemon naturally learned at high levels, though. That's obviously what they were going for. Fire Blast/Hydro Pump/Solarbeam were the moves you got on your starter and then went and battled your neighbor immediately only to find he just got the other one and you are all OH MAN

so yeah they are the better moves to put in, sorry

How about whenever you switch pokemon, you lose whatever status condition that was afflicting your pokemon (star, flower, tiny, big), since your bringing out a new pokemon. That would add a little strategic interest. Actually, I'd be surprised if it did not work like this.

It probably will, but when you switch back to that Pokemon it'll most likely still have that condition. Very cool.

I love this Final Smash, personally. Simple, easy to use and understand. It's like Samus', or Mario's. One big freaking blast of holy crap. These were the moves that are GIANT POWER BLASTS, not necessarily the best. Jester is straight-on with that.

Also Dapper it's called Pokemon trainer because they weren't gonna name it Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard.

ALSO also apparently PT will have a 'stamina system' for each Pokemon? What the hell, I wanted to try and play as Charizard for an entire match and kick serious ass.

Meta Knight fainted! You gained 500 Exp! You gained 1200 GP! You gained 6 pie points! You recieved "Left Shoe of Darkness." You recieved "Warm Fuzzy Feeling of Accomplishment." You recieved "my phone number <3!"

Sorry, I just had flashbacks to that Kirby Super Star boss fight against the Dragon Quest monsters thingy.

Yeah, it's written somewhere that using one Pokemon the whole match will tire it out and make it less effective. We don't know how, exactly, it could just be less % dealt or more % gained or it could be literally speed/jump strength/etc.

Also switiching erratically is supposed to be bad as well, but we'll see when the game gets here.

so a guy at SRK went to a media training deal where a bunch of game companies show stuff off and apparentally a Nintendo rep was there and confirmed that there will be for sure more than one outside-of-Nintendo character in Brawl. (reference: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=139687)

obviously, you guys might be like FAKE or something but its a well known poster over there and hes most likely not lying.

I think they've been saying since Snake was first introduced that he wasn't going to be the only one. It'd be sort of weird if he were, to be honest. He's not particularly Nintendo-like nor particularly iconic.

I mean don't take that as me saying "Arghh, no Snake!" Snake fans, I'm just saying that Snake is far from the first character I would think of if I were picking which character would be the only one to break the Company Barrier.
