It's funny, the interesting hook to Sceptile in Pokemon is that it's a fast grass type (who tend to be slow as shit), but in Smash there are plenty of fast fighters, so it doesn't stick out in the same way.

I love Sceptile's design, but I really doubt Sakurai would force him just to have a final-form Grass-type to go with Charizard and Greninja.
Actually, one final-form Grass-type I think would be really neat is Serperior. He has a prehensile tail, so he could technically grasp items, etc. The idea of a limbless fighter that writhes and coils across the battlefield is just really appealing to me. He could conjure up leaves in different formations to batter his enemies. I bet he'd look really sleek all glistening in HD, too.
It'd be nice nod to Gen V, like N's Castle, but yeah, not expecting it!

Well gee, had I only used a word like 'if' to point out I was speaking hypotheti- OH WAIT.

I know that thinking about things in terms of just representation kind of misses the point, but am I the only one here who really wants to see some Pokémon Mystery Dungeon representation in the new Smash? I don't think there's a single trophy or sticker pertaining to that series in Brawl, and there would be some great stage and music choice possibilities from those games. There might be some licensing issues with whomever they get the Mystery Dungeon name/engine from, though. I'd really like to see it, though!
Hey, I never said otherwise. I was just offering my take on the whole concept.
You wanna get nuts with Pokémon spinoff representation? Then let's get nuts.
Todd in the Zero-One, from Pokémon Snap.
Run over your enemies. Deploy pontoons to smack them into the abyss. Jet-thrust their faces. Pelt them with Pester Balls and Bait. And at the end of each match, you can hop over to a separate menu, Todd's Photos, and see shots that were randomly taken during your last match playing as Todd. Keep what you will.
And print out stickers at special stations Nintendo will set up at Best Buy
I'm actually just of the opposite opinion, I hate Mystery Dungeon lol. I'd rather have Snap, Stadium/Collosseum, Hey You Pikachu/Pokemon Channel, or the puzzle games get repped. Although Snap and Stadium both have been repped before, though.

Wasn't there a Zero-One trophy in one of the Smash games? Maybe I'm just misremembering for some reason. But man, forget about Todd as a character in Smash -- I want a new Pokémon Snap for Wii U! Gamepad's perfect for that D:

Just going by design, I'd rather have Grovyle than Sceptile - he's much sleeker. But I'd replace Lucario with either of them in a hot second.
Melee had a Zero-One trophy.

i am not arguing about sceptile again
I thought you'd be more of a Skyla fan. Elesa's not even wearing any boots.It's kind of a bummer that the way Pokémon are currently set up in Smash, you can't fight as any of the human trainers.
Because if you could, I'd be irrationally advocating Elesa against all odds:
I'm very particular about boots!
I do like the flats Elesa wears, though. Also, dat Mareep wool coat:

The ideas of representing every gen and starter type don't have any basis outside the internet's imagination. It's much more likely we get neither a grass starter nor gen three mon

my top 3 goes to skyla,elesa, cynthia with flannery a close 4th lol
"If" there's a Gen 3 rep, I'd sooner expect Blaziken (due to his extra promotional push in X/Y, and the gameplay hook of high-flying jump-kicks) or Plusle & Minun (due to the work started on them for Brawl, and the gameplay hook of powering up their attacks when they're together).
Blaziken is a no brainer IMO.
I love how Sakurai in your avatar looks like he's staring at Elesa, lol
That looks like Sakurai from the one comic about Palutena, BTW. Are there more?

Didn't mean to dogpile.
i actually would really like sceptile and am pre-emptively crushing my own speculation and dreaming.

I also love Serperior. Snivy FTW. Too bad he was eh in game.
Yes I mostly agree. Except for the Wii U costing more but anyway Smash has already established itself in most minds as not being an iteration-type game and pulling something like that now will not go smoothly.
First, I don't think that there are any must-have newcomers among your list. Inkling maybe, but no under-represented franchise like Advance Wars or Golden Sun or something to make it really stand out. Plusle + Minun and Tetra is really not high up there. I would also think that additional Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda reps would draw irritation from a not insignificant portion of the base
Beyond that, it just sort of looks like content bloat. This is definitely an idea geared more towards the casual player IMO, contrary to how iterations of Capcom games are usually meant for the hardcore. Ten additional characters (bringing the roster likely to the 60's, Ten-ish accounting for six newcomers and a couple Brawl cuts + Mewtwo,) 50ish Stages total?
That's another problem IMO. That's a lot of development time and money for an expansion that's going to sell at a lower price. And I really don't think the audience for an expansion is a foregone conclusion. Even the progression of added content throughout the SF4 series was more conservative between each one.
If this actually happened, as much as I would be happy to see K.Rool I would have a hard time not laughing. Then I'd be irritated about half an hour later.
Oh god, I feel so grimy now.

She's an E4 member in Gen 3 who looks like a Hawaiian dancer. She's a Ghost-type trainer, I believe.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.

I would honestly have no problem with this.

Now THERE'S a character I know.
I've said it before, but one character I'd really love is F-Type, from Stunt Race FX. He's the red vehicle, seen below:
I'm not sure how he'd hold items, but picture how cool it'd look seeing him trundle along, expanding and contracting cartoonishly, spewing fire from his tailpipe or dropping oil slicks or flashing his headlamp "eyes" to dazzle opponents. And of course when he hydraulically jumps into the air, he can tumble to and fro, "tricking" through the sky. I picture him popping his hood or tilting his spoiler to launch enemies, swinging open wing-like doors, and dashing along with the same joyful "thrum" as Wario's motorcycle.
Ahhh, it'd be so cool!
