If Nintendo announced that the Switch Pokemon games were launching with an amiibo set, which Pokemon would you want to see in it?

You jest but Nintendo made a Super Mario Amiibo series with every single Mario character in Smash.

This. It's part of that "video game figure" cash grab shit that companies have started doing. Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Lego Dimensions or whatever and Amiibos. Don't buy that garbage.

Why not? I like having little toys on my desk.

If they were normal figures (which already there are) it wouldn't be a big deal. But they're trying to shoehorn it with vidya. I think the fad is dying though.

You get a little bonus. I don't even use them for the games. In Pokemon it'd probably just be like "You get Ditto before you can go to the area where you'd normally get Ditto"

I'd have to pick from popular pokemon, because my favorites aren't often popular. So being fairly reasonable, I'd love a Scizor or Salamence amiibo.

Personally, I'd probably want Armaldo, but that'll never happen lol.

So it would be better if you got the same exact figure but it just did nothing other than sit on your desk? That makes no sense. the added bonus is neat

Not likely: Totodile

Basically this >>32432046
Usually if a game doesn't include "amiibo" in the title, it gives some optional content or just some bonus resources for whatever game it is, or cuts down on some of the busy work. Unless you're playing AC Amiibo festival or something, they're entirely optional and don't do anything to negatively impact the game you're playing.

And Toad.

But that was also the first set. The second set had more variety to it and the Zelda line of Amiibo seems to be better about that.

I can see them doing some figures for the shillmons and fan favorites, but I think they'll probably pull an animal crossing and release the majority of them as amiibo cards. Or maybe they'd make some tie-in limited edition TCG cards that double as amiibo cards or something.

>remakes of all the pokemon amiibo in smash, similar to the mario party amiibo to the smash amiibo
>pokken tournament characters, with a rerelease with the complete roster for switch coming out conveniently around the same time

This. They could make some serious bank just releasing packs of pokemon amiibo cards, similar to the ecards. Spread the set releases over a span of 3 years or so and they're untouchable

This is the best idea assuming Nintendo doesn't want a butthurt of epic proportions. It would be impossible to cover even 1/3 of people's favorites with a limited figure selection.

Maybe they can make a Ditto Amiibo which functions in the same vein as QR teams, only offline and physical. Although the current NFC tags they use in Amiibo wouldn't be enough to fit the data for six mons, it'd be a neat idea.

I'm honestly surprised the TCG don't function as Amiibos.

That's such easy money.

I don't think they'd even go that far, most amiibo bonuses are very small. Something like get the full Pokedex data the first time you scan it and then a random item daily after that would be more in line with what other games give.

I think the reason they don't is the chips for the amiibo function wouldn't work with actually using it as a TCG game, because they would be heavier than regular cards, so they'd consider it possible to be used for cheating and such, since you can tell it from the other cards.
