Topic: Pokemon Trainer Revealed As New Brawl Character

[Ian Sane]

They're not going to call him "Pokemon Trainer" are they?  They should just call him Ash since probably everyone is somewhat familiar with the Pokemon TV show.

It's a really cool character idea.

[MegaByte]

Maybe there will be multiple trainers.

Technically, they should call him Red after the original game, but then, as has been noted, changing Red into blue clothes would be kind of weird!

[Crimm]

Jeez, the writers on a Nintendo site don't even know Red when they see him.  Shameful.


I would like to encourage members of this fine establishment to go to smashboards.com and see the tourney...fans flip out over this announcement.  "Banned from tournament play."  They hate the best announcement ever.  Man, that's nuts.

Team (color) costumes (instead of the alternate colors) should get you the other game trainers.  I expect at least one of the female trainers from the game.  I hope we get Pokéball Ocelot.  Really, I don't want to see Red wearing a colored bowtie.

Well, Pokemon Trainer appears to be his character name... =3

And what in the world could "pros" have against Pokemon Trainer?

I like this idea best so far of the Final Smashes, as it presents three different FS attacks depending on your character out at the time. It would be easy to tie each to a character too:

Squirtle = Articuno
Ivysaur = Zapdos
Charizard = Moltres

[Darkheart]

Anyone else getting the creepy stalker vibe of the trainer in the screenshots..... He is always just standing there off in the distance. . . just STARING~!

[Crimm]

I'd post some of the highlights from smashboards, but I'd probably get banned.  There are, however, threats to Sakurai's family.

[Mashiro]

Screw them.

What do they know about how the game is balanced holy god someone should tell them to learn to have fun.

Just for them being stupid PoS idiot gamers I'm going to just pray that they allow PKMN Trainer in tournaments, because I'll freaking train with em and goto them and kick all their sorry asses.

YOU KNOW WHY!?

Because . . . I'm gonna be, the very best. Like no one ever wa....

Sorry.

SAKURAAAAAAIIIIIII!

[Bill Aurion]

It's rather ironic that they consider themselves "Smash Brothers fans" then, eh?

"Squirtle = Articuno
Ivysaur = Zapdos
Charizard = Moltres"

Then they'd have to take them out of normal Poke Balls, which I don't approve of!  =(

[Pale]

Well this is the third character to be added to my potential first play list...

Man...

Pit, Zelda, or Trainer?

[Smash_Brother]

I can't wait to go online with everyone so I can SHOW YOU MY POKEMANS!!!!

Correct.

Observe the Delfino platform in this movie. It has a section to the back of it which is more than likely there for the PT to stand on.

Now, where he'll stand on Eldin Bridge is anyone's guess. Maybe on the cliff in the background? Also, in the FE level, I wonder if he'll also drop down through the stage when all the players fall into the underground.

I'll have to play as this character on every stage just to see how he works. I'm guessing the floating platform for him to stand on theory makes the most sense.

[Bill Aurion]

"Now, where he'll stand on Eldin Bridge is anyone's guess."

If you look in screenshots, you'll notice that the fighters are only on the front plane of the bridge, leaving plenty of room for the trainer...However, I haven't put too much though into what he will do if he happens to be there when the bridge breaks... ='D

[Smash_Brother]

I saw that as well, and I'm guessing he won't stand where the bridge can break, although it would be awesome to watch him dive and grab for a ledge when the bridge breaks.

[NWR_pap64]

If they made it so that the Pokemon Trainer reacts to whatever is going on in the background it would be proof of how dedicated the Brawl team is. But in reality I see them giving the trainer a floating platform.

[UltimatePartyBear]

I don't know if they will give him a floating platform, actually.  That was the assumption for the scrolling Rumble Falls stage, too, but upon closer inspection, I think this looks like Rumble Falls.

[KBKoopa]

This is indeed awesome. All they need now is a clone character (a la Falco, Ganondorf, Pichu etc) of a Team Rocket grunt, who has his own array of similar Pokémon. Perhaps Golbat, Sandslash and Koffing.
