>>47407961>Incineroar was the only starter to show up in the ICY movie which is all he needed. He still had a main role, like Lycanroc Dusk, Partner Eevee, and Zeraoua/Marshadow did.
All the Gen 8 starters appeared in the Zarude movie and none of them had a big role.
>FroakieSmash 4 project plan: early 2012
XY anime: late 2013
Like i already stated, there wasn't anything settled on in the anime until much much later.
If they went with someone else, like maybe Braixen, Ash's Froakie might've been another Bayleaf/Pignite in the anime.
Another example would also be Rowlet since Ash caught him first.
>Okay? A wrestling ring has nothing to do with Hawaii, it literally just exists for Incineroar, just because it didn't happen for Greninja doesn't mean it's not a metric of shilling.Because it's not a trend, simple. and Arguably Battle Mansions would be tailored to Delphox line since its regal fancy shit, but look who didn't up getting in?
America didn't have a chinese warlord pig and european castles either.
>Just like they just so happened to pick Lucario, right?Because Lucario was the only Gen 4 mon they could pick at the time of Brawl's planning. Infernape wasn't even on the table.
Meanwhile, Minun/Plusle were supposed to replace Pichu in Brawl with Gen 1 remake being the Gen 3 shillcomer.
>A stage and some Pokeballs are pretty standardfare.That's still more than what Gen 3 and Incineroar had.
>Ridiculous headcanon, PT was dropped, yes, but Zard was just a Brawl asset flip for the most part.You do have to remember they were working with Ice Climbers in the 3DS version along with other drop shit like transformations.
>Oh yeah, I remember when Sceptile got in to promote ORAS....oh, wait...Because according to Sakurai, the spot for promotions recent releases was already taken by Corrin thanks to Nintendo.
Even if we don't get one, we know that might happen again (with SMTV, a game that was announced with SMO, or Metroid Dread).
