Gengar's cool...
I'm still waiting for Hitmonchan. He's a BOXER! That SCREAMS fighting game!


The Hitmon are all great choices for the game. Honestly, a lot of fighting types are natural fits, which is why people really want a wider range of choices since its so easy to pick nothing but low hanging fruit. As it stands I think we've got a lot of good choices so far.

If Hawlucha doesn't get in I'm boycotting the developers.


Hawlucha would be a sweet addition. Though I feel like that is part of the problem. So many fighting types would work really well in this game since a lot of the fighting pokemon draw inspiration from real world fighting styles. Some will see left out sadly.

So I guess the developers will have to get boycotted then.

Does anyone else feel like going through all the Pokémon and categorizing them by what they're fighting style would be?
 
And by anyone else, I mean Flame Dragon, specifically.


The sad thing is that while I was writing the post about the fighting types I trying to figure out the inspiration for various ones.

^ Far safer for a mod to bump a topic than a regular member, as I was tempted to post that info myself, but I decided not to just in case.

 

I'm not opposed to these choices at all tbqh.

Its always weird when you have stuff like this. I figured for major threads (ones that had +10 pages of posts) they are worth fishing for as apposed to just making a new one.

 

 

As I said, Charizard is an expect include since he is just one of the most popular pokemon, period. Weavile isn't one I'd have on my short list, but its still a cool pokemon and gets some more diversity in the overall character builds so its a good choice. Also neat how even though its a fighting game, only 2 pokemonare actually fighting types. Honestly, the type diversity is really impressive. I mean, ATM we have:

Fighting

Fighting/Steel

Water

Psychic/Fairy

Electric

Ghost/Poison

Ice/Dark

Flying/Fire

 

We also have a release date for arcades as July 16. I honestly have NO idea how big a line up to expect for the arcade machine, but I think 2 more is possible. We have early screen shots of Blaziken and since he is also SUPER popular so I'd expect him to also make the cut. For my second, I'd figure a Dragon type. Garchomp would be cool to see. Though it is noteworthy that we don't have a 5th or 6th gen rep yet and the one I'd figure as a lock, Blaziken, doesn't change that.

Indeed, the same can be said for the ORAS thread as that's been dead for a fair bit.

If I'm honest, Weavile wasn't a pokemon I'd have had on my shortlist either, but I'm all for character diversity as well, and I agree the type diversity is rather impressive.

Just for laughs, I want to see Metagross in this.

 

It'd be like Oddjob in GoldenEye all over again.

Metagross would be a really solid pokemon to put in this. He'd probably get super armor on most of his moves. If he did make the cut, i could see him being one of the stronger choices in the game.

 

as for charizard and weavile, charizard looks like it'd have strong combos, but really big openings if it misses, and weavile reminds me of deadpool with that intro..

Someone on TV Tropes suggested that Digimon characters be included in the game, and since Bandai Namco is the one developing the title, theoretically, that could be possible, though I doubt they're going to do it at this stage. But you all have to agree that an official Pokémon x Digimon crossover would be nothing less than epic XD

I thought of this funny little thing.

Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are of course based off Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.

 

If they were in the game, what if they fought like those two instead of boxing and kickboxing?

They aren't. You guys have to remember that the localization team's decisions bear no influence on the original developers' work. There's barely any reason for them to be named like that in the English version, since neither of them practice the martial arts style employed by their supposed inspiration.
