Lucario was announced today as a returning character in Super Smash Bros: Wii U / 3DS. This is a great surprise with the recent release of Pokémon X and Y. I personally thought Lucario would have been up for removal for a generation six Pokemon (not to say that they won’t add another one, though), but its great to see it return to the series!
In the previous installment, Lucario’s “aura” grew stronger as his damage meter grew higher. Sakurai explains that this feature will be enhanced in the next installment of Smash Bros, which makes Lucario’s strength “a force to be reckoned with”. It will be interesting to learn how his aura effects the battle field and, as a Lucario user, how his play style will change.
Earlier today I had the pleasure to have an in-person discussion regarding this announcement with some of the Pokéjungle staff today and we were throwing some ideas around about Lucario’s addition to the Smash roster. Our speculation is that his final smash this time around will be his mega evolution instead of “Aura Blast”. He could be faster, stronger, and much more difficult to K.O which in his Mega Lucario state. I think they should even give it an expanded move-set in addition to a strength buff. Perhaps a longer range aura or added bounce effect to his moves. Also this will no doubt bring up speculation about Mewtwo and whether or not this news means he will not return as Lucario replaced him in the previous game and may do so for this one.
We’ll have to see what Sakurai has in store for us next with his rather elusive updates to Smash! I’m hoping for the return of another new Pokémon character (Pokemon Trainer with three new starters. . .?! A guy can dream, right?).
What do you hope for in the next Smash update? A new Pokémon Character? Some Metroid or Starfox love, perhaps? We’d love to here what you think!

anyone have a friend safari with a evee? i really need one.
Ill try to breed u one next week!
Alright I think I have to go buy Octodad…
Last night:
*Searches for a female Zoroark*
*It took an hour and still no luck (I never found her BTW)*
“Watch me find a shiny”, I said
*I found a shiny*
(refresh)
you cant find a zoroark for an hour but u found a shiny instead?
LOLWUT
I found that shiny in around 45 minutes. And did run into a few Zoroark, but they were all male. 🙁
still thats like Pyroar infrequent (just reverse the genders)
Yup. Oh. I just found my female Zoroark!
Just breed one.
I wanted her in a Timer Ball.
I really wish I had a 2nd 3ds that way I could clone my 6IV ditto…
I’d lend ya one of my spares for a ditto in exchange but dat would be near impossible
Heh
The Fairies killed the Dragons.
If you don’t have a Wii U, you can get the Zelda deluxe edition bundled with Wind Waker HD, Wonderful 101, and Ninja Gaiden for only $270. That’s pretty much the best deal yet.
That is a sweet deal! I might takethat offer in the near future.
ugh i wish i got that one ;-; ……….
Man do i love sumamry of trade
Smash brothers, why do you have so many awesome characters?
I just thought that Lucario would Mega Evolve with its final smash then use Aura Blast, a stronger more powerful one.

YAAY SHE WAS CAPTURED :’D
YAY SHINY DAYBEFORE SATURDAY!!!!!!!!
anyone ever hear of guys and dolls?
You mean…action figures?
no i mean the play guys and dolls
IDK. I’m sure there are many guys out there who do.
yea why
no just asking. i really enjoyed the play since last year my band and drama produced the musical XD
iiii dont think i wanna evolve her ._. blissey’s shiny is boring
XD it like snorunt aswell!
I know it won’t happen but I would loveeee to have Banette in smash bros and have it mega evolve for a final smash, or maybe something else with a mega, like medicham or even gardevoir
Lucario is too overrated. I would have preferred to have Lady Palutena confirmed for Smash instead.
i wish it was zoroark or some other 5th or 6th gen pokemon that replaced him D:
there werent that iconic
It should have been Zoroark. But sadly, Gen V has come and gone.
imagine if it was actually zoroark and it has the ability to transform into mewtwo lucario and jigglypuff
That’d be neat, but I don’t want Jigglypuff to come back.
OMG!!! Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated has a Twilight Episode!!! This is going to be fun!
P.S. This isn’t Pokémon related. I’m so sorry.
Yep 🙂 theres alot of references in the show
A heck lot! There was also a Terminator themed one!
so you like the show? 😀
I LOVE IT!!! I’m so glad a few of our friends here got me into it! Were you there talking about it as well a week ago?
yep ;D
Then thank you!
SINNOHHH CONFIRMEEED
I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DISTORTION WORLD!!!
I WANT TO FIGHT AGAINST CYNTHIA AND MEGA CHOMP
*fantasizes over Cynthia in High Definition, Cell-Shaded, 3D goodness*
*faints*
gezuz. poor snorunt is freezing like hell! .. wait that sounds ironic LOL
hes just shivering sooooo badly
That’s what makes it so funny!
