The Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct finished airing half a year ago and I didn’t cover it because, well, I… uh… I fell asleep… I’ll make up for it with this Smash Bros. Pokémon Extravaganza!
New Fighters
First, we have a returning veteran. But this time he’s all on his own. Gamefreak can’t get enough of their Charizard wank and that’s probably why they tortured Sakurai in their Mystery dungeon to put him back in. Charizard now looks a bit toughened up, ready to wreak some havock.
Next up, we have this thing. It’s apparently one of the new starters from those recently released Pokémon games on the DS3, and boy it looks totally inferior to all the Generation I designs which are all perfect and totally not influenced by nostalgia. But enough of this genwunning. If you thought Greninja wasn’t overused enough, here you go! I asked which Pokémon you thought we’d see in Smash and nobody said this guy. Or so I guess because Disqus doesn’t let me see my replies anymore. Anyway, nobody won, but I’m sure Sakurai surprised everyone by picking these two characters.
Mega Evolutions
Of course Mega Evolutions couldn’t stay behind and that’s why both Lucario and Charizard get access to their souped up forms. Once they break their Smash Ball they power up, giving them more powerful moves to add to their arsenal. For example, Mega Lucario’s Aura Sphere hits for maximum damage instead of going off on how much damage you’ve taken.
Poké Balls
Smash Bros. wouldn’t be Smash Bros. without Poké Balls. A wide variety of old Pokémon return, like Goldeen and Electrode, but they added quite a bunch of Gen V/VI Pokémon. These include for example a rideable Gogoat, Fennekin, a cute Chespin, Dedenne and older Pokés like Eevee. A new addition is the Master Ball, from which legendary Pokémon emerge, such as Xerneas, Keldeo, Deoxys, Mew and more.
And that’s mostly all important Pokémon news! Smash Bros. 3DS is set to launch this summer while the Wii U version has to wait until winter. Rest assured some news will drop although I find it highly unlikely a new Pokémon fighter to get confirmed. In the meantime, you can discuss this in the comments and we’ll be back tomorrow with a Gen III article, if moving manages to start moving.

Can someone help me make a team? I’ve now made 2 and none stick out to me
Use Pokemon you like
I do, I’m just trying to get them to form a team. I made one about a month ago, and it looked perfect. So I need to make another like that.
Has anyone noticed that Scizor’s the only Cross Gen Evolved Pokémon to get a Mega? There must be more, like Froslass, Gallade, and Steelix!
Froslass and Gallade are two of my favorite Pokemon!
Y won’t my Swirlix evolve…
every time I trade it the communication drops for no good reason
That was unXpected huh?
Stop all these horri-uh…Z! puns.
I can help you.
What pokemon go well with a medicham?
Sakurai….I LOVE YOU….
Regi!! Can you help me make that team now please? 😀
What do you need? What do you have? What do you want to use?
1) IDK
2) I can breed anything I need
3) Medicham and any prankster are the pokemon I wanna use.
If you want my opinion, Sableye, Mandibuzz, Special Wall, Special Sweeper, Mixed Sweeper
Sableye >:)
Clefable 😉
:'(
Sableye is my signature pokemon in battles. xD
Ok. I was gonna MM a mandibuzz, but i dont wanna do it right now. Any other pokemon that can do mandibuzz job?
what moves are gonna give mandibuzz besides roost?
Altaria
TM87Gold
😉
Be honest.
How many of you thought Greninja was Mewtwo before it used Water Shuriken.
*In Shame* I did……
Same :/
I thought it was Goku
Would’ve been…
Nice?
I knew it was Greninja because I was spoiled about it.
Well blah.
Even then, I knew it was Greninja.
It was too thin to be Mewtwo, but as soon I saw the Water Shuriken build up and i was like “Is that….Water Shuriken? No No i couldn’t be….GRENINJA?!??!?!?!!?!??!?! GRENINJA?????? GRENINJA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REALLY GRENINJA?”
Sounds like you were very emotional.
My jaw locked for seven minutes it dropped so hard, no foolin’
I was shouting Greninja in confusion for about twenty minutes
I had the expression of a 6 year old who got his dream bike for Christmas XD
I wish restoring HP via Potions could be immediate like that of Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.
Colosseum was my first game!
How is it that it took GF six generations to finally silent the red health theme (almost immediate in XY), yet there is no red health theme in Colosseum and Gale of Darkness?!?!?!
Just proof of how awesome Colosseum is!
They got pretty much everything right before XY.
Pretty much!
You called Greninja a weird frog.
If you receive a package in 5 to 7 days, I advise you not to open it XD
*Snake enters the battle*
I’d be okay with that 😀
As would I XD
Why are you sending him your Greninja plush!? I thought you loved that! (Yes, I know what you mean…)
No one disses the Ninja Frog!
I’m buying a figure of every character in SSB. Starting with Greninja.
Here, I’ll send you my giant Greninja plush. No wait.
y u copy me.
I didn’t mean to :(((((((( XD
I know. 😛
But
Rosalina had my curiosity.
But Greninja has my attention.
I would so preorder SSBB if I had a Wii U.
I wonder if GameStop is offering pre-orders yet…I don’t feel like calling today XD
No -_- I went by today
Good to know…*sigh* I don’t need it, I don’t need it…
Has anyone noticed that Greninja has more navy blue skin in Smash Bros than X/Y?
I actually prefer this color scheme over the one in X/Y XD
It may just be the engine that they’re running on. If Greninja is the same-ish color as X/Y on 3DS, it may also just be the capabilities of the systems
You are right! I noticed that the 3DS version matches more with the X/Y colors. GOD I WANT THIS GAME NOW!!!!
Can’t even pre-order yet ;(
I know right ;(
So how does a Swagold pizza taste like, was that slice magically delicious?
Mmm tastes like Chicken, all slow roasted on a Will-o-wisp Grill 😉
Easy like a Sunday Thanksgiving xD
It’s the HD and the Primary Color Scheme
I love the shading and how some characters like Toon Link and the pokemon look like smooth clay models XD
🙁 feelin pretty down
Flu?
No, just generally 🙁
Free hugs 😀
Thank you djja 🙂
Go have some random passerby battles. Always cheers me up. Especially when an opponent keeps using sludgebomb on my Metagross
I don’t have any pokemon to battle with anymore, that’s why I’m pretty down
How so?
Hugs 4 sale
I at first thought that all starters would be in SSB because when Greninja was shown I thought it would have the other starters appear in a cool way too but then it didn’t and it went to the ending screen and nvm I’m getting mad again I’m going to stop typing now
Djja, u back bby!
I was always here I just wasn’t on that long xD
Oh. Djja, u been here whole time bby!
I like your scent
Meganium would be pretty useless 😛
I meant all gen 6 starters sorry
She could just use Light Screen.
And then…Headbutt for attacking.
And Body Slam. O____O
Dat ass
Once again, Grass starters get no love. Why does Nintendo dislike Grass Types so much!!!! :'(
I think you mean why Most Fans dislike Grass types…..
lol @ Therrothorn
Because they have terrible move pools *COUGH* sceptile*COUGH* or are just not balanced enough for play…. All the starters only gained one egg move, grassy terrain… That’s why we don’t use them
Yes because the mindset of most players is SPEED AND ATTACK….nothing else matters
Ahem… My team(or what was my team) was defensive….
I’m referring to newbies in pokemon. In-game you want to hit first and hard and KO everything…..any grass type that does that easily will be a fan favorite. I’m not talking about competitive stuff.
;( I do that too… I’m not a newbie… Well, I kinda am… Whatever.
Sorry about that I wasn’t trying to target anyone 🙁
*Hides his whole team of rayquazas and Yveltals*
Once again
“lol @ therrothorn”
Cradily is a nice pokemon!!! :O
Because they didn’t come to their aid to soak up all of the water during the tsunami
(refresh)
LOL
Dear Nintendo:
Blastoise got a mega too thx
I hate Blastoise.. Go ahead. Hate me. I find it bland and boring 😡
I hate the Gen I Starters. Yeah. I said it!!! Gen II’s starters may be worse typing wise, but at least they’ve got their designs right!
I don’t mind Charizard and Venusaur. Specially Venusaur. Looooooove that thing.
I just hate Charizard…..
If Charizard wasn’t overrated, would you legitimately hate it?
Nope. Honestly as someone growing up during the Red and Blue era, the bias in starters was 1000x worse than what it is now….
True. Very true. When you think about it, sometimes we hate things because they’re overly popular, but looking past that popularity, it isn’t so bad. A wise thought, no?
If it’s popularity was treated as that of Noivern’s, I probably wouldn’t mind it so much…PROBABLY.
That kind of popularity is what I want to see in Pokemon. Charizard was probably unlucky to be in Gen 1. Otherwise, it probably wouldn’t be so grossly overrated.
Of course! That’s why I love Greninja in Smash, but not in X/Y. Because, unlike X/Y, Greninja is much less overrated in smash bros, because Mewtwo, Charizard and other franchises exist.
Greninja was that character nobody knew they wanted xD
VERY TRUE….XD
The new Charizard is Smash is something I didn’t think I wanted at all lol
*in Smash oops
Most non-pokemon fans’ reactions were for the most part “oh that’s nice” when Charizard showed up…this gives me hope XD
I’m glad they got rid of form changing characters. Charizard fit so well into being revealed there it’s kinda scary
Ew
We
We 😡 <3
I find it funny how For the First Time in Forevor, the current fire starter (Delphox) isn’t getting the “Charizard Treatment”. It’s Greninja!!!!!
You forgot about Emboar
Did people like Emboar? IDK. I never paid attention. However, it was the only Unova starter that became a dual type.
People hated is as soon as the typing was reveal. There was more hate when they realized it looks like a defensive pokemon, but never played like one, and was slow.
It hit like a truck, and could kinda take it hit. But, its slowness is a bummer.
Sometimes
Sometimes
SOMETIMES
Sometimes you wanna make love
Russian stripper
Spiky cat penis
*PeePee
*Pipi
*Rude af
Well excuuuuuuse me princess
So it’s the Chad of Pokémon.
Chad from Bleach.
Slow and powerful, but is easily beaten in every battle.
None of the Unova starter finals got attention from what I saw. It was all stupid marketing towards the first stages.
It’s sad really 🙁
They all had a really cool design basis at the least 🙁
In my eyes, Serperior sorta got the most attention. I mean, remember back during the “Worldwide Bank Arc”? Everyone was asking how to get HA Snivy, but no one asked how to get HA Tepig or Oshawott.
Well that’s more like how Greninja got attention. The ability is what makes it popular, not really the design.
I love the design
Battle anyone?
Okay
jk I can’t right now
…
I love you
I know, not Pokémon, but SSBB related.
I forgot to say this last night:
…
MEGAMAN’S FINAL SMASH OMG!!!!! MEGAMN.EXE IS THERE!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :’D
I know 0% about Megaman and even I was “spasming” when I saw that XD
*Megaman
I know 0% about Megaman as well, but I LOVED the Megaman NT Warrior Series!!! I watched it as a kid long ago, and my friends got me back into it about a year ago when the told me that the series continued, but only in Japan!
I saw a little bit of the TV series waaay back XD So I only know one of those Megamans xD
I for some reason can see trevenant replacing ROB xD
THAT’D. BE. AMAZING.
OMG
FINAL SMASH
FOREST’S CURSE
IT WOULD E SO AWESOME
pls nintendo listen to us we smart
It can harvest to bring an item that it dropped back xD
Turns everyone into a Grass type? Well…we’re &%$#()*ed!!!
Not only that
They’re also
*looks around*
“curssseeedddd”
*makes girly, yet quiet, squeal*
Soooooo It turns out my vaction was a LOT shorter the expected(mainly because our hotel burned down). So! It looks like i will be here for the rest of the week!
Wow
what?
Hotel burned down…
Did you get all your stuff out?
O_O
Dont worry nothing other then some clothes was lost!
OMFG YOUR HOTEL BURNED DOWN!?
Uhm. That’s not a normal thing. That’s a bad thing.
Very very bad thing.
Your calmness disturbs me on a deep psychological level XD
Yeah well…I’m good at hendaling things like that XD No lives were lost soooo…..
Props to you. +50 respect.
That would be cool if they announced another earthbound and after the nintendo direct speaking of it there’s a trailer introducing the new protagonist into Smash, along with ness
If Sakurai did include a Grass Starter, who do you think is the most popular?
Sceptile would be perfect for smash
Sceptile because of the anime, and because it’s awesome
SERPERIOR!!!!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No
You just jelly because Chesnaught can’t be in it because another Kalos Starter is playable!!!
At least it’s HA is legally accessible 😛
OH THAT’S IT!!! (refresh)
Final smash is frenzy plant. A giant tree comes up in the middle and 1-hit KO’s anything!
YES!!!
Chesnaught
Because he’s a Fighter
I love Chesnaught, but he seems like a Bowser character in smash bros. :/
Greninja = sheik
He seems like a mix between pikachu (up-special), lucario (down special), mewtwo (water shuriken regular special), and shiek and ninja-like behavior (speed).
But he be lookin like sheik took a swim
I feel there are mixed feelings about this. I personally would like Sceptile but he seems very “ninja”-like, or like shiek, so I don’t know what unique attribute he would bring in smash bros. without being another clone character :/
Leaf blade
Jump would be amazing
final smash = frenzy plant + solar beam combo
Bullet seed
Detect
I don’t see no problem
Sceptile
So what did I miss in the past 30 mins
I’m back.
We were discussing how ground types are laughable
oh no you didn’t…..
No… I actually didnt
Rhyperior was removed from rhyhorn’s evolution for being, in their own words, ” Unworthy”
Ground types went extinct due to faries
You do realize I have to murder both of you….
We got ground types on our side
So you were bashing Ground Types and now using them…..
your nothing more then a Hypocrite
They are my unpaid servants
What crawled up your ass?
Oh wait yourself!
Kus you know….you’re a Wurmple
Wurmples are WAY more distinguished than that!
They aren’t ground types!
Djja let’s just walk (Sophisticatedly) away
joke (noun) 1. a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, esp. a story with a funny punchline.
Bring it on.
Water types and Grass types, unite!!
I’ll bring on the Ice!!!!
This is a temporary truce I guess.
Watch there be a Ground/Fairy Pokémon next gen! XD
Man, people be hatin’ on Serperior and want Sceptile or Chesnaught in Brawl instead!
1 word.
Arms.
Oh I see!
Your limbcist aren’t you?
Maaaannnn!!! Why you be hatin’ on dem snakes that got no arms?!?!
Ssssshhhhhiiiiii…
Yeah, I’ve been watching too much The Boondocks.
Ooops srry cudnt hear u too busy havin arms;)
Well at least I got no x4 weakness FOOL!!!
Yeah but u got an attitude .
Bish please. If I’m a Serperior, then I can Paralyze you Boi! Even Ground types!
Um betch i no ariel ace bi
Um bish. I know Aerial Ace too bish!
DO i need 2 spiky shield u or do i need to spiky shield u?
I’ll just use a Special Move…Bowser!!!
He has arms there just behind him.
Along with his legal competitive use.
O wait
Let’s have GF reveal Sceptile’s Mega, and THEN we can talk about its appearance in SSBB!
We’ve not getting Sceptile
What
The probability of that happening is way over 9000
Sceptile mega would be cool on its own
Sceptile *
Oops Gf doesn’t like us
Where is a good place to horad train Sp.def?
