>>57486208You're the one trying to, by ignoring how Smash operates. They didn't add a hoennmon, because FRLG was the latest, they went and added Greninja, because XY was next. They added Incineroar, because LGPE was a GO-clone remake that already had Charizard as representation, thus needed something from the modern.
Well, Smash is looking like a launch year title this year and L: Z-A is this year too. So they're going to tell Sakurai to use the pokémon every little boy in Japan LOVED during Gen 7, to show off its super special NEW Mega form. That it's a bipedal shonenmon like Lucario (another Smash rep) just confirms it. If Meow was made for solely little boys, I could see it (Sakurai knows the types of people buy his shit and play his shit to the point off getting gud). Buit she wasn't and they havent treated her like 'mons made for little boys - no shonen fursuit mascot, the girl in the anime owning one which shares her gender. No Smash rep, don't risk becoming a sceptiletard who actually expected Sakurai to care about Gen 3.
