How the heck did Jigglypuff get into Smash Bros?

[Triforce_Luigi]

She is a superfluous. She is not particularly important to the Pokemon franchise. She only made it because she was popular in Japan.

this.

was also the case with Pichu and Mewtwo (iirc).


Mewtwo has it's own unique moveset.  any character with a unique moveset deserves to stay, and I've kinda grown to like Jiggs.

Popularity, my friend.


Although her popularity has decreased recently, many people still like her. I think Jiggs is a staple of the Smash franchise and shouldn't be taken out. She's one of those joke characters and she has her awesome move (Rest anyone?). Jiggs has already been in both Smash games. Why take her out now? Yes, I'm still hoping for Ness.  ::)

i think shes a fun character to use but it was only because the show was popular at the time

correct. she had a reoccurring role in the first season of pokemon and a cameo later on

[Triforce_Luigi]

As I already stated, she only made it because of popularity. I think she should be replaced by a more deserving candidate. The only problem is finding a worthy newcomer. Lucario, though likely, is mostly fueled by popularity and a role in the movie and anime, much like Jigglypuff.

I think Jiggs is as worthy as any Pokemon.

Pokemon deserves 5 reps and we have great ones:
1. Pikachu
2. Pokemon Trainer
3. Mewtwo
4. Jiggs
5. Lucario

ehh, I'd rather have pulse & minun than Lucario.

I haven't played a pokemon game in years, but as badass as Lucario sounds, I'd rather have another pikachu variant.  :-X

[Triforce_Luigi]

Well, this is all pure conjecture. Mr. Sakurai has probably decided who will be in and finalized the roster, so arguing about it is pointless. The extra months are probably to perfect features such as wifi, debug the game and search for glitches, and to make sure everything functions perfectly.

I definitely wouldn't want another Pikachu clone but that's your opinion and i respect it.

[Triforce_Luigi]

No one ever said Plusle and Minun would be clones. Just because they are similar does not mean they will be clones.

[GrimTuesday]

In most of the Pokemon games every pokemon is equal, right? So how do they choose pokemon to be in ssb? They choose popular ones of course!

Okay how about this, I wouldn't want anymore electric rats besides Pikachu in Brawl.

[Triforce_Luigi]

Okay, but we have no electric rats. We have electric mice. Though I guess I agree to an extent.

I wouldn't really like the idea of two electric mice (counting the pair as one) being in it... but I guess Melee already pulled that off.
I guess I'd actually really like that though. Something slightly similar to Ice Climber. Two characters, you play as one, the other is an AI, the two are stronger as a pair, etc.

For whatever reason, I really DON'T want Lucario in. I can't really explain why though.
