I actually totally forgot about the initially quirky POTDS...those didn't even have any descriptions! Looking forward to those.
Yep. I still think there's a good chance we'll see Mewtwo as DLC, with Mega Mewtwo Y as his Final Smash.

more lewd pics incoming
Yeah I think those are definitely the top 3 most popular Pokemon.

Whats Charizard's FS in this game?

Im not 100% sure about that. They are definitely up there but I do think some pokemon like Blaziken and Lucario from subsequent generations are also up there. Lucario is one of the only pokemon in X/Y that is apart of the main plot and considering that most pokemon aren't part of the main plot especially when they are two generations old. Charizard for sure but id say Lucario is probably third. Yes Mewtwo got two mega evolutions but Lucario was the key to discovering mega evolution and every player in X/Y gets handed one.
I think Lucario's quite a bit bigger than Mewtwo at this point.

evidently he's not one of Sakurai's favorites though ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

After playing the demo a bit, I caved in and bought these on Amazon.
Hopefully this stops my fingers from slipping.

Mewtwo getting two megas is no big deal because Charizard also got two megas? What kind of reasoning is that?
Both Pokemon can be a big deal. There can be more than one popular and promoted Pokemon.
A Pokemon getting two Mega Evolutions is a pretty big fucking deal at the moment considering how many Pokemon currently have more than one.
Mewtwo is the most prominent Pokemon not currently playable and arguing otherwise is just being a silly anti-"genwunner" contrarian for the sake of being a silly anti-"genwunner" contrarian.

People still argue against Mewtwo, in 2014?
Come on now, Mewtwo is the one CHAMPION Smash deserves.

As someone who knows next to nothing about Pokemon, I can agree with this. Maybe Lucario's bigger now?

Yeah Lucario does seem to be pretty popular despite not being around since the beginning *but he's almost a decade old now*
I know the recent series had, like, seven episodes or so featuring him. I definitely think he's earned a permanent place in Smash at this point, even if he was pushed by GameFreak (then again so was Mewtwo, Pikachu, and Charizard), and I can't think of any non Gen-1 Pokemon who could be compared to him. Zoroark who seemed to be another attempt at him never caught on in the same way, and Generation 6 abandoned the idea of a character akin to Lucario and Zoroark and just used him again.
Fuck man, I wanted Genesect playable!
Awesome mecha-inspired, car-transforming robot.

I don't understand the argument that not being in Smash = Mewtwo not being popular. Mewtwo getting a ton of promotion for X and Y should be evidence that the character has remained relevant despite being dropped from the Smash series post Melee. Red being dropped from Smash 4 didn't all of a sudden make Pokemon Trainers irrelevant to the franchise outside of Smash.
So freaking badass

A lot of fans ended up disappointed though with Mewtwo's role.
He really feels like he was thrown into XY at the last minute alongside the Legendary Birds, who basically have 0 story to them. It's sort of a "ho-hum" moment when you encounter him, honestly. And some people consider the XY Megas to be ruining a good design.
Also the one in the new movie's a new female Mewtwo, which totally set people off.
Anyway, please you guys, don't start a Gen War. Pokemon's a huge series and I think all of its iterations deserve a chance to be represented, the same with Fire Emblem.

You're surprised that Smash GAF is overreacting?

With Smash WiiU rumored for nov 21st. I'm guessing they're going to start pushing it right after the 3DS launch. Wonder just how big of a deal they'll treat it. Makes sense for it to be in the background now. But with later releases in US&EU it gives them less time to push everything about it.

As in "Heathcliff"
Well, I could foresee that we are getting Smash U Direct during Nov.
After playing the demo a bit, I caved in and bought these on Amazon.
Hopefully this stops my fingers from slipping.
Can you post a link please?

I tried to figure out roster character representation weighting mathematically, in an attempt to explain things like "Why did Star Fox only get two reps?"
... And now nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about.
Yes! The "Wii" series is missing four reps! It's time for WiiMote Safety Man to swing in!

Inb4 we get the more recent, feminine Mewtwo and people still complain.
Mega Mewtwo Y for maximum salt

Is this what you wanted from Smash 4 3DS?

His smashing face.

I unlocked Ganon a few hours ago, and when I saw his victory animation, ... I actually did the same face.

Why does he still have that awful TP look.
What's so bad about the TP look? For me, it's easily one of his best - reflecting both brutish power and monarchical elegance. The fact that both Twilight Princess and Brawl were some of Ganondorf's worst outings as a character shouldn't detract from the design itself.

...Take it back.
It should've been his Hyrule Warriors look, I know.
Yes! The "Wii" series is missing four reps! It's time for WiiMote Safety Man to swing in!
...would Monita count as a Wii series newcomer?
Gotta get that head start logic ready for DLC/Smash characters!

I bought some when I was upgrading my 3DS's grip and these are bad. Really bad.
For one, they don't stay on. At all. They always pop off if you put any motion or pressure on them so Smash Bros shits all over them. The other problem is that to even get them on you have to put a TON of pressure directly on top of the slide pad. My slide pad made a click and wouldn't move normally for a bit. I had to get my fingernail underneath it and pull up to fix it. The pad still works but my hear froze when I heard that initial click and my pad stopped moving right.
Don't get these. They are hot garbage.
