Are you and Jimmy related? Because you two niggas have an uncanny resemblance going on here.
In other news, TLDR version of Dias’s post: Too much fan furor over a character you like not being included in a game is unhealthy/sad/pathetic/more synonyms and anyone doing it is liable to get punched in the gut. For their own good of course.
Haha. Well, close enough. Everything aside from the ‘encouraging gut punching other people’ part. That was just for me! You got the basic points right, though!
Honestly, I hope Sakurai just throws out a different bipedal legendary/popular Pokemon as a playable character with both Mewtwo and Lucario as trophies just to fuck with the fanbases warring over it.
On Magikarp as playable just to mess with the fans: I’d actually enjoy it. Pichu was too subtle a joke character. With Magikarp they’d be open and honest about it, and I would be glad to see him on the roster!
On the fake roster pic: Sure, that’s obviously fake and a bit drab, with some quality control issues… but it does help you visualize what we know so far. That’s a select screen whose contents make me go “…Yeah, I can probably get my $60 + Tax worth of fun out of this roster.” It’s reassuring, because I know it will only get better from here and I’m already pleased with what I see.
