Let Super Smash Bros. Brawl show you its pokemans

Recommended Videos

Okay, I was all ready to tear today’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl dojo entry apart, but the more I think about it, the more I actually like the idea. A brand new character has been unveiled, you see, and he’s not quite what one would expect. I could just break the news, but let’s allow the patronizing, childlike words of the site itself to teach you about him:

No way! The Pokémon Trainer has finally arrived. And it looks like he doesn’t do his fighting directly.

Instead, he uses the three Pokémon with him—Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard—to do the fighting for him.

No way! The Pokémon Trainer has finally arrived? I can’t wait! Sarcasm aside, I honestly approve of this idea. It’s essentially Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard who you’ll be playing as, not the trainer himself. His only real impact is using his special move, a quick switch-out of the current Pokémon to swap for a new one. As well as a shared health meter, the Pokémon will have their own stamina levels, meaning you can’t keep them fighting for too long a time and need to switch them at the right moments. Could be quite a strategic character with a focus on maintaining balance. As cynical as one can be about this idea, I am personally sold.
