>>35133426This and shadow Mewtwo are one of my three big reasons to don't buy this game.
> Using two times the same Pokémon to make new fighters when you make a game about a world with +800 species> Too much humanoid beings doing human fighting strategies. Thank god Chandelure and Suicune are in the roster (and now Aegislash but it's DLC). Without them it would have been Tekken with "humans in disguise". > Popularity is the only thing that matters. Zero surprises, zero emotion, no chances to bring a breath of fresh air. Are there a Pokémon that could be a fun fighter even if it's not that popular? Nah, let's give them another humanoid with default moves on a fighting game and then just put Mewtwo skin on it.Blastoise confirms again the second point in the worst possible way, being shamelessly changed its design to looks that bad only to look humanoid.
Just replace clones for other species (if they want a masked Pokémon Hawlucha or Scrafty could be better options than two Pikachu), and give the game some Pokémon that could be fighters with creative, fun movesets regardless the popularity (Crabrawler throwing its pincers, Probopass and the mini-noses, Ditto...) and the roster will be start to being more interesting than current one.
