If there were more people using Pokémon Trainer in tournaments, do you think Pokémon Trainer would have the potential to be at a higher tier on the Super Smash Brothers Brawl tier list that can be found here.
In my opinion, I'd say if enough people practice with Pokémon Trainer and he has a little bit more representation in tournaments, I sincerely think that Pokémon Trainer will be able to climb higher on the Super Smash Brother Brawl tier list. The reason why I say this is because one can essentially counter pick against an opponent during a single game. This would give a slight advantage against specific characters, such as heavier ones or lighter ones. Heaver characters would seem to have a slight disadvantage against Squirtle due to his lagless attacks. Squirtle is basically the Meta Knight of the Pokémon Trainer's trio of Pokémon. Against lighter characters, Charizard would be a better pick, because Charizard has string attacks that come with decent knock back.
I'd say Pokémon Trainer's has more advantages as opposed to drawbacks, since it's almost like it's three-on-one, since in a match, the Pokémon Trainer is able to switch between: Squirtle, Ivysuar, and Charizard, in that order. One can even pick their Pokémon of choice before the match starts, instead of it the Pokémon being random upon the start of the match. The Pokémon Trainer could also have an advantage against a good player that is not good at Directional Influencing, because Pokémon Trainer's Charizard has Flame Thrower and his Ivysuar has Bullet Seed, which both require for one's opponent to Direction Influence out of the attack. I can also see why people wouldn't want to use the Pokémon Trainer, because one must use all three of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon during the whole course of the match; that is, if the match is three stock or higher. The stamina the Pokémon have isn't really that much of a drawback, because it only takes one minute for one Pokémon to be at full stamina again.
It also seems like Pokémon Trainer would place higher than some characters such as: Mario, Sheik, Peach, and Luigi, in my opinion. The Pokémon Trainer's Squirtle can also have a semi-infinite or infinite on walled stages with the use of Squartle's forward tilt attack. Another reason why I think Pokémon Trainer should move up on the tier list is because of specific situations in which one can switch their Pokémon for positive results. For example, if one has damage, or percent in the 100+ range, one can switch their Pokémon to Charizard because he is the heaviest character out of Squirtle, Ivysuar, and himself. Another reason why I think Pokémon Trainer would be able to move up on the Super Smash Brothers Brawl tier list is due to the fact that TheReflexWonder made it to the grand finals in some tournament that I don't know the name of. If it can happen once, I'm quite sure that it would be able to happen again. There are some good and intelligent players that play Pokémon Trainer in tournaments, such as Chuck Nasty and TheReflexWonder who do fairly well with Pokémon Trainer in tournaments, but it's not enough to bring Pokémon Trainer higher on the Super Smash Brothers Brawl tier list.
I wonder why Pokémon Trainer isn't that popular with some of the players. It seems like a pretty keen concept that one would be able to use more than one character in the same game, like Samus being able to switch into Zero Suit Samus and Sheik turning into Zelda, or vice-versa. So, tell your friends to use Pokémon Trainer during Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournaments, so Pokémon Trainer has more representation than he currently has. If I left anything out, please let me know so I can amend it to this post. I feel like I did not include enough detail in this post, as I want to help contribute to this forum. So, let us hear your thoughts! Please, if there is a duplicate thread, don't hesitate to delete and or close my well, thought-out thread!
