    I’m kind of disappointed the alt colors part of the episodes are gone. I completely understand why, but it was one of my favorite parts of the videos, speculating on what they would be and learning some stuff about the series in the process.

      @bartymatrix7 6 лет назад +103

      I think its fine for THIS episode. A lot of the costumes for the Pokemon characters are mostly made up. I'm pretty sure the only costume Mewtwo has that comes from something is Shadow Mewtwo. They removed Mewtwo's shiny color from Melee which sucked.

    Pokken I think does a WAY better job of making the pokemon characters feel unique then in Smash, to broach on Alax's point that in Smash they seem sort of simple and uninspired. In Pokken, there's a much greater amount of moves each character has and they have way more peresonality to them.

    In terms of how Disable functions in smash, it could be inspired by how it works in the Mystery Dungeon series, where the user gives off a flash of light at the opponent, and this paralyzes them, which in Mystery Dungeon makes them unable to attack for a few turns.

  • @IceStryker13
    @IceStryker13 4 года назад +2

    Three-year late response to Lucario:
    It's possible that Lucario's Aura mechanic is ACTUALLY a reference to the ability Steadfast, which Lucario can use. When a Pokemon with Steadfast is hit with a move that causes flinching, it boosts their speed. It's, in a way, similar to that except rather than boost speed, it boosts attack power. This was one of Lucario's two potential standard abilities, the other being Inner Focus (which doesn't allow the user to flinch).

    Your statement on why you put all the Pokémon in one episode, as a long time Pokémon fan, I 100% agree on this.While each Fighter Iconic in the franchise, don't have a lot going for them on their origins.
    Just maybe the next Pokémon Fighter in future Smash Bros should have their moves based off those from Pokken.

  • @ShinyKelp
    @ShinyKelp 6 лет назад +22

    Okay, I want to add something to Pikachu, seeing as you just limited to cover specific moves rather than see the full picture:
    First, a little cool detail I don't think many notice. In the anime, when pikachu gets grabbed or trapped by the opponent, sometimes he can escape it with a melee-range thunderbolt, or his ability can paralize them. This makes opponents wary of physical contact with Pikachu.
    Now, in smash, a property about Pikachu's thunder is that the projectile is generated in frame ONE, leading to mashing thunder as a somewhat effective way of escaping combos, and thus leading the opponents to, guess what, be wary of the thunder.
    That aside, l'll get into pikachu itself.
    Like with all the pokemon, they didn't focus on putting in as many attacks or to portray his "competitive" performance, rather they made him a personality, a "face" in pokemon. But exactly what face it is, is what you missed or didn't mention for some reason. In the anime, in pokemon yellow, pokken, trailers, etc. In almost any iteration outside main games, he's portrayed the same: a pokemon that's cool, cute, fast and uses electricity. A big mascot that anyone can look at for the first time and like (though overexposure leads lots of people to hate him, but that's another topic).
    And in smash bros, he's the same! He's a fast character, he uses electricity, he has happy-to-cheeky cute taunts, he has cool combos and he is very fun to play & watch. The special moves really aren't that important in his representation compared to other characters, because his concept is as simple as a cool, cute, fast and shocking mascot.
    Edit: Now after watching the whole video, yes, you said the concept for pokemon is simple, but I still have the feeling you kinda rushed this. For every character in these series, you always go one step further than everyone else, and conclude a very deep understanding of the character. From Wario, to Fox & Falco, to damn Kirby. But... pokemon here get the short end of the stick, just like Ganondorf in the actual game.

  • @alexstewart9592
    @alexstewart9592 6 лет назад

    Fun fact: Greninja isn't the only Pokemon that can learn Water Shuriken. While this is indeed the case in X and Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire changed the level-up moves learned by various Pokemon, and one of the changes was giving Water Shuriken to Accelgor, another ninja-like Pokemon. Chesnaught's signature Spiky Shield got a similar treatment in being given to Cacturne (another spiky plant), and Delphox's Mystical Fire was given to Mismagius (a ghost-witch Pokemon).
    Smeargle can also technically learn all of the above, but that's a special case because Smeargle can quite literally learn any move except Chatter (originally because Chatter would cause glitches if used by a Pokemon other than Chatot because it can change the cry of the Pokemon that knows it, and now because consistency) by copying it with Sketch, and this includes the capacity to duplicate things like Spacial Rend, Roar of Time and Judgement, and even a couple of moves that don't work when Smeargle actually tries to use them, namely Hyperspace Fury and Dark Void. Hyperspace Fury fails if the user is not a specific form of a specific Pokemon, and that pokemon can actually change form and so be unable to use it, and Dark Void was changed in Sun and Moon so that it will fail if anything other than Darkrai tries to use it (mind you, it can still be called by Metronome, so that's a third move that does absolutely nothing when called by Metronome, alongside Splash and Celebrate, both of which have 0 effects at all outside their Z-power effect, and status moves can't get that when called by another move, even if the other move is powered up by Z-power, which for damaging moves causes the called move to become the corresponding damaging Z-move with the appropriate power).
    Also, X and Y brought the Pokemon count up to 720 (well, 723, but the last 3 are Mythical Pokemon that weren't revealed when the games came out and are exclusive to events), and with Sun and Moon we have a count of 801 (one of which was revealed after the game came out, but it was within six months and even got a page retrospectively added to the official website). You were close, only 200 off. Oh, and the ones added in the most recent games are the most individually developed Pokemon. Almost all of them would offer somthing for being a Smash fighter, but some of them wouldn't work simply because of shape or habitat (Alolan Executor's much-memed neck is WAY too long for a fighter in Smash, and a fish isn't exactly good fighter material when it's all-fish in design, for example).

    Lucario's power build up is likely based on the fighting type move Reversal that Lucario can learn. Reversal does more damage the less hp the user has.
