Even though I thought Grinch was fake, I honest to god thought that Incineroar wasn't happening anyway because it'd be hard for him to cover new ground. The direct won me over, though.

Come think of it, why did people even think there would be no Pokémon newcomers?I was betting on there being no Pokemon rep so that's quite a lot of eggs on my face
Because it was unlikely and I like betting riskier bets.Come think of it, why did people even think there would be no Pokémon newcomers?
Sakurai doesn't care if a series has "too many reps" or "too few reps" as much as the Smash fans do.
We just got Piranha Plant as the 9th Mario rep!
Because none of us think the way he does. Also because we considered Pokémon complete with its three missing veterans from the last game, and couldn't think of a reason beyond tradition to add a Pokémon.Come think of it, why did people even think there would be no Pokémon newcomers?

The only way to preserve the Grinch leak as not totally fake is that the person who did it was an insider and used game assets to create the fake. That would mean, aside from using Ken's actual portrait, that Isaac in the banner is using Isaac and Shadow's appearances as ATs, Chorus Kids' spirit art, etc.Here's the thing though, Ken has the same pose in the actual mural and the Grinch leak, so I'm a little confused.
Well, I never considered Pokémon complete. Team Rocket Meowth is the last Pokémon All-Star still not playable in Smash.Because none of us think the way he does.

Lucario definately has staying power, he's still pretty popular and iconic.Well, I never considered Pokémon complete. Team Rocket Meowth is the last Pokémon All-Star still not playable in Smash.

Pokémon is still lacking the antagonist. And by that, I mean criminal organizations like Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, etc.
That’s why I have been pushing for the most iconic criminal organization of the series, Team Rocket with Jessie, James, Meowth and Ekans and Koffing (or Meowth and Arbok and Weezing).
He does... but that doesn’t change the fact we are still missing an antagonist.Lucario definately has staying power, he's still pretty popular and iconic.
It's arguable, but I believe Mewtwo would fill the antagonist role, at least with how it is portrayed (including in Melee). Team Rocket is no doubt iconic regardless.He does... but that doesn’t change the fact we are still missing an antagonist.
Even detractors have to acknowledge that Team Rocket and Meowth are pretty popular and iconic, especially after appearing in 1,000+ episodes for the past 20+ years... and that people got excited when Team Rocket showed up in Pokémon Let’s Go.
