Pokemon in Brawl and the 5 Pokemon Contest Types.

[kaid]

I think we can all agree that 5 is a reasonable number of pokemon for Brawl. But while we all know Pokemon are for battleing, Ruby/Saphire added an additional event: Pokemon Contests.

All moves, new and existing, were given one of five Types (not to be confused with elements):
Beauty, Cool, Cute, Smart, and Tough. Winning a contest was a matter of chosing attacks that impress the audience the most, in the catigory of the contest.

For the sake of the argument, let's assume Sakura will remember tis little detail (or at least the 5 contest types). Therefore, each pokemon entrant will have to fit into aa catigory that none of the others fit in.

Cool (http://serebii.net/attackdex/cool.shtml) moves include Thunder and Thundershock. This is obviously Pikachu.

Cute (http://serebii.net/attackdex/cute.shtml) moves include sing and Rest. Jiggs fits the bill.

Smart (http://serebii.net/attackdex/smart.shtml) moves include Confusion, Kinesis, Hypnosis, and Disable, which fits Mewtwo.


Tough (http://serebii.net/attackdex/tough.shtml) moves include Endure, Karate Chop, Low kick, ect, which fits the moveset Lucario fans are putting together.


This leaves us with one pokemon left, and the
Beauty (http://serebii.net/attackdex/beauty.shtml) moves. For the most part, these are Ice, Water, and Fire attacks.

If this is the case, what do you think the final pokemon will be?

[FiErCe_oNi]

DRAGONITE! he can use almost every beauty attack, blizzard, dive, fire blast, flamethrower, fire/ice punch, hail, haze, heal bell, ice beam, icy wind, light screen, mist, powder snow, sunny day, surf and water pulse. thats alot of beatiful attacks it can do.

[Black/Light]

So this is what you were talking about. . .

Well I think Blaziken would be a great choice for a beauty pokemon. She has fire spin, blaze kick and over-heat. . .With a pokemon that looks like her they would all hold a good amount of beauty in them. And plus her being part fighting type would give her a trained master style/ feel to her movements.

But, for the record, I think 7 would be a better number of pokemon characters than 5.

[kaid]

Note that the existing pokemon in Melee only have 2 of their specials under ther type. Something to keep in mind.

[FiErCe_oNi]

blaziken would be more of a tough/cool pokemon. its based more on phisical fighting moves wich are cool/tough

[kaid]

Jiggilypuf uses a number of tough moves, too, but is generally seen as cute.

Pikachu is the mascot, so of course nintendo wants him "cool."

Mewtwo is a psychic, which implys smarts.

Lucario is steel/fighting, which are both pretty tough elements.

I actually find Blazikan's fire type more of a "beauty" type than Dragonite, despite the fact that Dragonite can use Fly as a recovery move.

[Black/Light]

Well I was only useing her fire attacks which are in that slot. She could fit in alot of spots because of her 2x types.

[FiErCe_oNi]

ye but blaziken is more of a fighting type than a fire type, and dragons+dolphins are way more beutiful than fighting chickens

[kaid]

Still, a pokemon known for it's beauty, like say, Rapidash or Milotic, may well get a head start over both of them...

[Black/Light]

ye but blaziken is more of a fighting type than a fire type, and dragons+dolphins are way more beutiful than fighting chickens


No, I would say shes more fire, if not = to her fighting half. And this "fighting chicken" is a trained fighter that uses her legs alot. masters of the arts already look peaceful and ocean like in their moves. . . now mix that with fully controled fire.

[FiErCe_oNi]

na, beauty is more about shooting elements, blaziken hits stuff with her fire elements instead, thats more cool/tough. now dragonite, he shoots elements (not to mention a large array of elements) instead of hitting stuff, and dragons and dolphins are more beautiful than chickens

Altaria For Brawl!

It has flying type, so it can use it as an ^B, it has severa pokedex entries that relate to it's beauty, and it can be taught Ice beam and Mist.

Mist would be particulary interesting... perhapse it creates a zone where % doesn't go up?

[FiErCe_oNi]

ye but i dont think it has arms, its pre evolution doesnt. and besides, if a dragon would represent ssb, ot would be dragonite for sure

[kaid]

It has a head, a tail, and feet. That's all Pichu needed...

[FiErCe_oNi]

pichu has arms?

[kaid]

He never used them...

[FiErCe_oNi]

didnt he use them to grab stuff? etc light sabers, hammers, super scopes (well he lied down when he used it but he still used his arms)

[kaid]

No, that was his head. Mouth, actially. (I may be wrong on the super scope, but I'm pretty sure on all the others.)

[FiErCe_oNi]

i dont think it could hit a hammer verticly if it was using its mouth

[kaid]

Possibly, but Altaria's neck is a bit more flexible than Pichu's.


And since he was bentioned in another thread, Charizard would also fit.

[FiErCe_oNi]

huh? wat about dragonite? and no, altaria isnt gonna bend its neck so its horizontal while its holding a hammer with its beak.

dragonite would be a better choice over charizard because he is considered legendary, isnt a starter and know more moves

[kaid]

In case you havn't noticed, the only legendary that ISNT in a pokeball is Mewtwo, and that's because he was the villian of a movie, and appeared in at least three movies, plus a spot on the TV show. Legendary status isn't actually a plus.

[FiErCe_oNi]

wat about lucario? and deoxys? the reason the other legends didnt become character is because none of them are bipeds with arms or there too big. legendary is a plus because it means the pokemon is more special

[kaid]

Lucario has a gender, which implys it's NOT legendary, after all. (this little tidbit has been in the FP on the Lucario thread for DAYS.) As for Deoxis.. you are right. He shouldn't be considered by those standards either.

[FiErCe_oNi]

latias and latios? female and male? legendary?

[kaid]

And who would be Lucario's counterpart? Since having a male and a female Lucario implies that it is not unique.

[FiErCe_oNi]

it wuldnt hav to hav a counterpart, that was 1 generation of pokemon. not 3

[Black/Light]

it wuldnt hav to hav a counterpart, that was 1 generation of pokemon. not 3


He WOULD have to have a counterpart to be compared to latias and latios because they were of the same kind so their would have to be a female Lucario for this to happen.

[ww.havok]

I think they should just put Hitmocamp and Hitmolee them ni99as are no games!

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Lol @ u.

Any Pokemon could have a gender if you cheat.

Latios and Latias had genders, bit if I remember correct, wouldn't breed. The are legendary.

There is such thing as a female Mr. Mime. Lol.

Hitmonchan, not Hitmocamp, should be in a Pokéball.

Hitmonlee has already been in a pokéball.

Lucario is ONE OF A KIND. Therefore, he is legendary. And capable of speech.

There are many reasons that make Lucario better than other Pokémon, and he
got his own movie so therefore he is legendary.

[PITforREV]

I think we need a pokemon or a charater that uses water in their moves, its something we havent seen, and something that could be very interesting/cool.

[kaid]

Lucario is ONE OF A KIND. Therefore, he is legendary. And capable of speech.

I'm... not so sure. Pikachu is not legendary, yet he has a movie, and Slowking could talk in Power of One, I think. We dont know if he's one of a kind, and he seems to be the posterboy for "new types combinations."

The telepathy could have been just that one Lucario, though.

[Ermine]

I think that since Buoysel is a Water pokemon and that I made a creative moveset for him... he could work really well in brawl.

[kaid]

Which Beauty moves were you thinking?

[greenblob]

I'd prefer a 6 member team over the 5 contest types, other than the fact that the team would involve more Pokemon...

Anyway, back on topic:
I think a normal type elementalish Pokemon would fit the category very well. Many normal types learn a rainbow of moves and that could provide for a unique moveset and new combos.
