>>12104374>Based on what? If you mean that Dream World poll, I'm sure it wasn't just Pokemon collectors gaming the poll to try and get rare Pokemon. The only way that we can get a proper read on popularity of something is if it's just a poll without any "rewards" for voting.It's one of the only and more recent "reads" you have. Take it or leave it.
Better than just blindly spouting that HURR SO POPLAR.
Except not, it has everything to do with either time limitations (they DID keep pushing back the release date after all, maybe Nintendo put their foot down and told Sakurai "enough") or disc space (Brawl is already on a two-layer disc and was pushing the size limitations as-is). There were quite a few Melee characters, such as Mewtwo and Roy, and newcomers, like Pluse/Minun and Toon Zelda, who were supposed to be in Brawl but weren't, and the remaining data of them in the disc proves it, especially as Brawl was made from the ground up rather than piggybacking off of Melee's code like most sequels.
And why do you think there wasn't any priority with these characters...Especially ones that were in A FORMER GAME?
They weren't important enough to be seen as MUST HAVES for this game and so they got cut in the end.
Either way, the point I making is that whatever the reason may be, the idea remains that characters CAN get cut.
And as long as that idea is valid, I want Jigglypuff gone.
