Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

[DarthEnderX]

I think a lot of Pokémon’s current problems could be solved with a new Pokemon Stadium game. The Stadium game could just be purely about battling and random mini games where the core games could focus more on the Champaign itself.

Pokemon Stadium should be PART of Pokemon Home.

Mainline games = Where you play the story and collect new Pokemon.
Home = Where you store, trade and competitively battle with your entire collection of Pokemon.

Dexit: Despite Gamefreak straight up lying about why they did this, it was going to be necessary at some point, so whether they were ripping the band-aid off or just literally couldn't swing it, it couldn't be helped.

Dexit was necessary at the time, but there's no reason it should still be a thing.

Sw/Sh alone brought 600 Pokemon into the modern era. Between Pikachu/Eevee, SP/BD, Arceus, and S/V, there's absolutely zero reason to not have all 1000 in the same game by now.

...

This makes so much sense I'm actually kinda miffed that it isn't a thing.

And it's funny how it turns out that Godzilla actually would appear in a video game crossover:

I mean, it's not his first time.

And I've already seen the rumors regarding Godzilla and the very notable game with numerous crossovers and characters.

In this day and age, it feels like Toho just puts Godzilla in almost any possible collab under the sun.

I deadass feel if it weren't for Smash being strict with the IP type that gets featured, we would have had some kind of content present even if nothing more than a Godzilla suit for Mii Brawler and possibly the iconic theme for stages.

We could always choose the 2nd best option that is a video game character.

Hmmm, were you expecting something else? I don't see what possibly could coughTyranitarcough

I had mentioned Shinobi II in my reply to his post at that time.

That reminds me, wasn't one of the Event Matches in Melee a reference to King Kong vs Godzilla? With a Giant Donkey Kong and Giant Bowser match?

I think you mean:

The Pokémon that's more like Godzilla than Tyranitar is (whose design takes after an Ultraman monster called Bemular).

And the biggest reason why it's one of my top choices for a Gen 9 Pokémon in Smash.

Given that Splatoon 3's in-game jukebox has damn near every song in the series but the Music app doesn't even have any post-launch content, I don't think TTYD Remake in the app would add any of the original tracks.

I mean yeah but to be fair, Splatoon 3's jukebox having like every song in the series means you can't add the other 2 games later, as opposed to TTYD just being TTYD twice. It's possible they'd split it into the original and remake (I think remake is only missing like one track, the one that plays when you win a battle after your partner dies), but I dunno, I feel like the situation is a little different lol

Plus I could also see them just adding the whole OST and having separate playlists for the remade music and the original tracks, like how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on the app has stuff split up based on what branch of the story it's in. Could even name the playlist after the Nostalgic Tunes badge used to access the original music.

Sure, Baxalibur definitely has the similarities down to a tee. Especially with the breath for flying. But...does Baxcalibur have both two Mecha versions, a Mega Evolution that looks an awful lot like a certain Space version And have a history with rap/hip-hop?

Erm, ackshually it would be closer to a super form Godzilla had in the aptly named Super Godzilla for SNES, which would be the inspiration for SpaceGodzilla's design.

I just wanted an excuse to nerd out, don't mind me
