>>36737494Makes perfect sense. Every playable Pokemon character in Smash except for Ivysaur is a self-insert for an anime Pokemon (sharing the same Japanese and English voice actors/actresses as the ones in the anime).
Pikachu - Based on Ash's Pikachu
Jigglypuff - Based on recurring Jigglypuff in anime
Pichu - Based on the younger Pichu Brother from Movie 3's Pikachu short
Mewtwo - Based on Movie 1's Mewtwo
Charizard - Based on Ash's Charizard
Squirtle - Based on Ash's Squirtle
Lucario - Based on Movie 8's Lucario
Greninja - Based on Ash's Greninja
Makes sense for Greninja to become Ash-Greninja during the Final Smash because it IS Ash's Greninja.
If we get a new Pokemon rep in Smash Bros Ultimate, it is likely going to be based on an anime Pokemon.
