An idea I've had for 'em

[BooDestroyer]

A random set of three Pokémon are issued to the trainer. Depending on which trainer you chose from the Character Select Screen, you'll have the following Pokémon combinations which change with every match:

Trainer A (Male Trainer 1): Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard (#1), Charmander/Wartortle/Venusaur (#2), Bulbasaur/Charmeleon/Blastoise (#3)
Trainer B (Male Trainer 2): Totodile/Bayleef/Typhlosion (#1), Cyndaquil/Croconaw/Meganium (#2), Chikorita/Quilava/Feraligatr (#3)
Trainer C (Female Trainer 1): Mudkip/Grovyle/Blaziken (#1), Torchic/Marshtomp/Sceptile (#2), Treecko/Combusken/Swampert (#3)
Trainer D (Female Trainer 2): Piplup/Grotle/Infernape (#1), Chimchar/Prinplup/Torterra (#2), Turtwig/Monferno/Empoleon (#3)

No worries, the gist of each Pokémon type's special moves are all the same, so appearances are basically just for fun. Their evolution stages merely determine their strength, speed, and what-not.

Sounds good being able to use Grovyle, he is my favourite one along with Blaziken. Though some of the moves will not fit the characters (i.e. Torchic using Charizard's side B ''¬¬) Obviously that won't happen, but nice idea.

 

[serosfan]

Costume changes for the Trainer are possible. Doubt it for the Pokemon. Charizard is the only one that can GLIDE.

 

[Baka_Shade]

Even though the character is "Pokemon Trainer", honestly, you're playing as the Pokemon themselves. The Pokemon being used aren't a costume that can be changed.

Admittedly, I'd have much preferred Blastoise as the 3rd stage of the three. ^_^

 

[PKLucas13]

Yeah, they should very it up if they were goinf to do that, not all 3rd evo fires 2nd evo grass's and 1st evo water...

 

[Knyaguy]

Amen, I agree entirely

Trainer A (Male Trainer 1): Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard (#1), Charmander/Wartortle/Venusaur (#2), Bulbasaur/Charmeleon/Blastoise (#3)

Thants what i said for alt. customs on the Offical Pokemon Trainer Discussion Thread and I was shot down.

 

[garbage]

Lol, you want 12 Pokemon characters?

 

[MysticKenji]

I don't think so.

 

[Glinth]

GOGO GLIDING SCEPTILE/SWAMPERT/ETC!

I personally hate the thought of ALT costumes, and if they did, they better not
change the moveset/style of the characters, that'd just be stupid... just make
them seperate characters then...

 

[RenegadeRaven]

I thought of something similar.

Pokemon Trainer(Red) - Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard
Pokemon Trainer(Gold) - Totodile/Bayleef/Typhosion
Pokemon Trainer(Ruby) - Mudkip/Grovyle/Blaziken

Etc...

This going off of the Pokemon manga .

They don't have to change the move set, just have the possibility of their shiny colors. That'd be awesome

that'd be awesome - black charizard, anyone?

 

[Seiya]

Nah. Too many combinations. I would just like it if they stick with the 3 pokemon. I would only like Costume changes for Pokemon Trainer =\(aka Female trainer)

 

[Cless]

Umm, how the hell would you account for the move animations and everything when changing the pkmn? Way too much work, although changing the trainer around would be cool.

 

[Kazydai]

When the trainer's costume changes, will the pokemon change, too? You know, hats and goggles, like pikachu?

That makes much more sense than what the tc proposed.

 

[Draquoir]

if they have the gusto pull this then kudos to them

 

[Gimpyfish62]

i seriously doubt that the pokemon trainer will actually be MORE than the 3 characters available, different costumes as different characters is a bad idea, no dittos is a horrible horrible thing.

 

[RoxasXIII]

i like the accessories and that's all that should be changed besides the pt looking different.
