::It probably would. Spiky-Eared Pichu is at least confirmed female, as it could only be female in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, but I don't believe any of the other costumes have confirmed genders. — [[File:Small portrait lyon fe08.png|20px|link=User:Xamad]] [[User:Xamad|Xamad]] ([[User_talk:Xamad|talk]]) 20:10, 1 February 2019 (EST)

== The Richter Belmont Color Confusion ==
I'm back, and with my return, I bring back the same argument as to what Richter's alternate colors truly reference. Please actually read the evidence I have here instead of just saying "Yeah, but, it's obv this because this one color matches." If it's just one color, it could be a vague reference or even a huge stretch, though it obviously depends on the scenario. Please use [https://www.ssbwiki.com/images/d/d0/Richter_Palette_%28SSBU%29.png the wiki's Richter costume line up image] for reference when reading if you need to.
1. Richter's default costume: Again, do I even need to say it?
2. Richter's 2nd costume: Red shirt, White edges on shirt, Black Undershirt, White Gloves, White pants, Black boots. I said, before, that this could not have been Christopher Belmont or the rival from the cancelled Bloodletting. What I saw, however, was a reference to [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/a/a4/Justefull.gif/revision/latest?cb=20080812120254 Juste Belmont]. I said it was because of the fact that Juste Belmont's character has been depicted as wearing a Red shirt with White edges, Black undershirt, White gloves, White Pants, and Black Boots. The part that got me to believe it was Juste is the color of the boots. I said, "When so many of Richter's alternate costumes change the color of the boots, why wouldn't the color change to light brown to reference Christopher in Rebirth or the rival from Bloodletting? The fact that they are Black boots in particular sells me on it being Juste Belmont." I am still confident in my evidence for it being Juste, though now I do believe that it could also be a reference, vague or otherwise, to Christopher Belmont, even though Christopher is nowhere to be found in Ultimate, and Richter's red alt. is used for Juste's fight.
3. Richter's 3rd costume: Purple shirt, Greenish-grey Undershirt, White gloves, Black pants, and Yellow Purple and Black boots. Before the HD pictures of Richter's Alts were posted to the wiki, me, as well as many others believed that this was a reference to the 32X sprite of Richter from the unreleased Castlevania game. Though a HUGE stretch with NO evidence to support it, it was the best we could come up with. Scrolling over Richter's undershirt with a color-grabbing tool reveals that his undershirt is a faded out green color. This green, coupled with his purple tunic, white gloves, and boots with yellow on them, match nothing else in Castlevania except for [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/b/b1/Shaft.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170722230810 Shaft], the priest who cursed Richter after Rondo of Blood. Though this could still be a stretch, there is definitely more evidence going for this than [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/a/a0/Bloodletting_richter.gif/revision/latest?cb=20090326031802 the 32X sprite], which, mind you, never had an ounce of Purple, Yellow, or Green.
4. Richter's 4th costume: Green shirt, Gold edges on shirt, Normal undershirt, Grey pants, and Dark-Brown boots with Light Brown coverings. This costume is clearly a reference to [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/4/46/Maria_PSP.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170723014700 Maria Renard] as she appeared in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where she wears a Green tunic with Golden-colored cuffs. She also wore socks that are greyish-white and shoes that are light brown in color. These colors, almost directly correlating to those seen on Richter's green Alt. The other reference, which I am warming up to, is that of the Curse effect from Rondo of Blood and Dracula X, where Richter's Tunic turns green, and his boots are still light brown. Though if were referencing the curse effect, what is with the golden outlines on the tunic?
5. Richter's 5th costume: Yellow shirt, Brown edges on shirt, Red undershirt, Blue pants, Brown boots. This is the one many people cannot seem to digest properly, so I'll make it easy to understand. This Alt. references TWO Castlevania protagonists, BUT it references one MORE than the other. It references [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/e/e6/John_Morris.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130502125343 John Morris], with the red headband, and POSSIBLY the yellow tunic. HOWEVER! The Alt. more so references [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/4/4a/Dos-julius.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080906170256 Julius Belmont] than John, in that Julius is seen wearing a RED neckerchief (seen on Richter with his red undershirt), a yellow shirt (seen on Richter with his yellow tunic), a brown coat with dark-brown buttons (seen on Richter with his tunic having brown outlines and dark-brown buttons), blue jeans (seen on Richter with his blue jeans), and brown boots (seen on Richter with his boots now having brown vamp coverings). This should clear it all up; It is referencing TWO people  :^)
6. Richter's 6th costume: Blue shirt, White edges and insides of shirt, White undershirt, White pants, Brown boots with Blue around the ankles and Tan flaps. This is still extremely obvious. It is referencing [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/e/e7/Richter_Belmont-2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080227200610 Richter's appearance in the official artwork of Symphony of the Night] and even [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/c/c1/Young_Richter_Belmont.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141017013339 his appearance in the Dracula X Chronicles]. Once again, clarifications do not and should not have to be made.
7. Richter's 7th costume: Blackish shirt, Gold edges on shirt, Grey undershirt, Dark Grey pants, Dark Brown boots with white around the ankles. The idea that this is based on the ending of Dracula X is growing on me, and was a very clever thought to begin with. Once again, this could be referencing many things, the other major thing this could be referencing is [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/1/18/Alucard_HD.png/revision/latest?cb=20181007080406 Alucard's Symphony of the Night appearance], especially with the golden edges of Richter's tunic, but it is still very vague.
8. Richter's 8th costume: White shirt, Red edges on shirt, Black undershirt, Black pants, Black boots with White coverings and Tan flaps. Before the final build of the game, this Alt. was just white and black, leading most to assume that is was just Soma Cruz or Alucard, and even now, with the general consensus being that it is Leon Belmont, some still believe it is Soma, because of the white. As I just mentioned, the majority of people, me included, believe that this is a reference to [https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/9/96/Cloi-leon-belmont5.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080227224550 Leon Belmont], because of the Black, long sleeve undershirt with a shirt that is White and has Red on the edges of it. Leon's pants are also Black and striped with white, and his Black boots have Light-Tan flaps and White coverings around the vamps. All of these things are nearly one-to-one with Richter's Alt. meaning that there are no further arguments to be made against this one.
Thank you so much to those who took the time to read my "little" post, and I look forward to healthy debates with anyone who disagrees with anything listed above. [[Special:Contributions/104.136.71.9|104.136.71.9]] 18:41, 3 February 2019 (EST)OliviérBaguette, Guest User Extraordinaire
