Pokémon (universe): Difference between revisions

*[[Image:PikachuBrawlSmall.jpg|right]]'''[[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]]''': Returns from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' seemingly unaltered, with its Thunder Jolt Neutral-B, Quick Attack Up-B, and Thunder Down-B intact. However, Pikachu is seen hopping where it should be walking, and it demonstrates a [[crawl]]ing ability seen held by several other characters. Pikachu's [[Final Smash]] is called [[Volt Tackle]], and it involves it temporarily turning into a giant ball of electricity and flying at high speeds across the stage. This move can be controlled when in action, but it leaves Pikachu helpless if the attack ends or is cancelled while it's in midair.{{clear}}

*[[Image:Pokemon_trainer_s.jpg|right]] '''[[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]]''': A new character based on the generic trainer from the Pokémon games, this particular design most resembling Red from ''Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen'' (an enhanced remake of ''Pokémon Red & Blue'', featuring new elements and Pokémon present in the second and third generations of games). Pokémon Trainer is unique in that he's the only character that doesn't fight on his own, (similar to [[Captain Olimar]], except Olimar uses his [[Pikmin]] as a weapon, not his sole attack) instead using one of three starter Pokémon to fight for him, switchable by usage of the [[Pokémon Change]] ability:

:*'''[[Squirtle (SSBB)|Squirtle]]''' (''Zenigame'' in Japan): The first evolutionary stage of the Water starter from the first generation of games. The smallest and presumably lightest of the three forms. It may evolve into Wartorle and then, Blastoise. Squirtle stands at 50 cm (1'8") and weighs 9 kg (19.8 lbs), and is numbered #007 in the National Pokédex.

:*'''[[Ivysaur (SSBB)|Ivysaur]]''' (''Fushigisou'' in Japan): The second evolution of the Grass starter from the first gen (most specifically, it is a Grass/Poison-type). Interestingly enough, Ivysaur is one of only two playable quadrupeds in the entire Smash Bros. series to date, the other one being Pikachu. Evolved from Bulbasaur, from its current stage, it can only evolve further into Venusaur. Ivysaur stands at 1 m (3'3") and weighs 13 kg (28.7 lbs), and is numbered #002 in the National Pokédex.

:*'''[[Charizard (SSBB)|Charizard]]''' (''Lizardon'' in Japan): The third and most powerful form of the Charmander family (being Charmeleon its second form), which hails from the Kanto region. Charizard appears to be the strongest and heaviest of the three.  Although Charizard has appeared in every ''Smash Bros.'' game, ''Brawl'' is the first (and to date, only) in which it is playable.{{clear}} Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon, standing at 1.7 m (5'7") and weighing 90.5 kg (199.5 lbs), and being numbered #006 in the National Pokédex.

*[[Image:Lucario_t.jpg|right]]'''[[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]]''': Lucario makes its ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut as an Unlockable [[Newcomer]]. Although it is a Fighting/Steel-type, it uses its "aura" ability to improve his fighting style. It has voice acting similar to [[Mewtwo]] due to his psychic abilities. It is unique among most fighters due to the fact that Lucario becomes stronger the more damage it takes on.{{clear}} It is the only playable Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation games (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) and, along with Pichu, the only Pokémon not from the first generation. It stands at 1.2 m (3'11"), weighs 54 kg (119 lbs), and is numbered #448 in the National Pokédex. In addition, Lucario is the final evolutionary form of Riolu. Lucario's Final Smash is called Aura Storm. Lucario leaps high above the stage, and fires a powerful Aura beam, which can be tilted left to right using the direction buttons or the analog stick.

*[[Image:Jigglypuff_s.jpg|right]]'''[[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]]''': Jigglypuff makes a return in ''Brawl'' as an Unlockable [[Veteran]] fighter.  It is worth noting that Jigglypuff is the only playable veteran character to not have a role in the Subspace Emissary.{{clear}}
