I'm just not a big fan of Braixen's design, it fits as an "awkward inbetween phase" evolution but I don't see it kicking rear end in a fight.

Also the new tweet integration on the forums is kind of neat.

Almost certainly, we are talking about Japan. It seems that for the Kalos starters Japanese fans like Chespin the most for first stage, Braixen for second, and Greninja for final.

Agree as well. As tired of Greninja as I get, it s the better looking than most starters and certainly better than boring Delphox and messy Chesnaught.

Great, more Fire starter representation. :rolleyes: and its not even a good one. Where's my favorite reptile K Rool Feraligatr? It's the smash roster all over again.

Fire starters are the best, and Fire Emblem fighters are the best and are both my favorite, so the schadenfreude of your posts gets better every day, MBD.

Braixen is more awkward because it's next to Sceptile (not Grovyle) and the Fennekin support.
Where's Hydreigon it was even a possibility for both teasers what do you mean with Swampert the character select screen is full

Thankfully, Heracross is a background element in one of the stages, so I don't think they'll use it as a fighter. I'm basing this assumption off of nothing. This also means no Snorlax, if my assumption based off nothing is correct.

Why does Sceptile make it awkward IYO? Charizard and Blaziken are in, too.

AFAIK grovyle is one of the most popular second stage starters. Popular enough to be a major plot pokemon in PMD at least. Nobody actually cares about Charmeleon or Combusken.

What if they re-released Pokemon Stadium on the WiiU VC and using the same technology they used to make your 3DS a controller for Smash Bros they'd let you use your copy of Pokemon RBYVC in the 3DS as the transfer pack? Seems expensive and unnecessary... until you realize how many people would buy the gently caress out of Pokemon Stadium again.

The Pokken models are juuuuust slightly too real looking. They're not as bad as Lucario in Brawl, but just kinda weird.

Pokken looks cool but I hope the last few announcements are really unexpected and weird. The only guy in Pokken who hasn't been used as a mascot for anything is Machamp. Gimme something completely insane, like Avalugg

In my dreams I want a new Pokemon Stadium for gen 6 that's done completely right, but in practice I'd accept a lovely Battle Revolution-esque sequel at this point

What would be the point, though? Battle Revolution brought random online battles and 3D graphics for the 4th gen games, but those things are available now on the 3DS. Even the player customization was available in XY.

Removing those minigames alone was enough to doom Battle Revolution. Not even the greatest of hammy announcers can make up for that.
