I'm still saying that Pokemon isn't getting more reps than Mario (currently 5) & Zelda (currently 4, with Ganondorf almost certainly being the 5th).

Why? It's happened before (Brawl)

Transformation characters don't count. Mario, Zelda and Pokemon all had 4 in that game.

Mario uses relatively the same characters over and over. Pokemon keeps on introducing new characters with every iteration. It's not that difficult to see why it gets so many representatives.

The do count, according to Sakurai. Pokemon had 6 characters in Brawl, and currently only has 4. Also, Zelda had 5 in Brawl.

They are counted as separate characters, you're confusing their appearance in the character selection screen to actual character number.

They still had to program different movesets for every transformation; from a development standpoint they are separate characters. I believe Sakurai once used the number 39 to refer to Brawl's roster in an interview once, too.
Super early, super trolly pic.
No Miiverse description yet.
"If Sakurai doesn't give me what I want he's a troll!"
The hell is wrong with people in the Smash community? Smh.
It's a term of endearment at this point, I don't think people seriously hold anything against Sakurai.

You guys can argue about if transformations count as separate characters, but I feel, from a franchise representative standpoint, that the transformation characters are a package deal and count as only one rep, even if they do count as multiple characters.
People assume that Sakurai reads literally every thread about Smash on every board out there and is explicitly aware of each and every individuals wants. Because of that, they feel that any action that goes against what they want is trolling directed specifically at them.

That's not really an argument for why Smash has to have playable reps for every generation, though.

Nobody pushes for Gen V reps as far as I can tell

Gen 3 was the intro of plusle and minun.
As we all know:

If they ever become playable I will fucking rage.
Up there with Luvdisc as the worst of Gen III.

They were a very real possibility for Brawl, IIRC.

All I want for Pokemon is for my Ivysaur and Squirtle to come back 
I know it's a long shot, but I haven't given up yet.
Oh and Mewtwo. Definitely Mewtwo.

It's "trolling" because it's a character that a lot of people had (unreasonably high) hopes for him as a playable character, and dashed them without the kind of teasing he gave to Ridley or Palutena.
But it's mostly what Smith said, it's basically a term of endearment with no real negative connotation. Chill, bruv'.

I'm probably the board's biggest W101 fan and even I assumed there was no chance for character representation. I figured assist trophy, at best.
Ideally, this would be true. However, entitlement is a hell of a thing.
Edit: I'm with Alberto on this.
Wait I'm confused. Are you saying you're complaining that Swampert isn't Water/Ground? Because I've got some good news unless I've misunderstood

If by "loved ones," you mean Mewtwo & Roy, then yes.

People complaining about Smash having too many Pokemon make me laugh. Pokemon is kinda sorta (just a little) important to Nintendo's history, so it having seven reps would be totally justifiable, especially in a roster that will likely be somewhere around 50 characters.
Heck, assuming that the final roster is 48 characters, 7 Pokemon would be the smallest ratio of Pokemon-to-characters that any Smash Bros. game has ever had: 64 had 2/12 (16.7%), Melee had 4/26 (15.4%), Brawl had 6/39 (15.4%) and a hypothetical 7/48 would be 14.6%.

What a strange way to spell grovyle.
It's best to move on...
I guess I'm just worried about the IP's future. Maybe the trophy will generate enough interest for future installments...

I don't think it was getting a sequel, anyway.
Serious question.
How did they get grenades and rocket launchers in and keep the current rating in Brawl? Is it because they're seen as more comical?
Bobombs explode, grenades explode, same difference.Because they're less accessible to kids? Not sure.
But PSASBR has guns and has the same ESRB/PEGI I think.

But then would every post after that have to be "But Bayonetta 2 is a 1st party game."

I guess I should be surprised but I'm really not.

You know, if people here aren't going to bother learning why Bayonetta 2 is Wii U exclusive, then why the fuck should anyone bother to realize TW101 is a Nintendo IP. People would prefer to be ignorant rather than be informed because fuck knowledge!

Miiverse never fails when looking for laughs.
They were cut because Sakurai realized what a horrible mistake that would be.

No. I expect perfection from my fellow fans.
Fair enough... they're too young to get it.
It'd be like freaking out over some kid leaving a message saying "I love sand" in the SM3DW Miiverse page.

Kids don't play console games besides CoD anymore. These are almost certainly 20+ year old gamers.

Gamers' entitlements are the most annoying part of video games community. It's everywhere.
I know. We really deserve much better than to have to put up with it.
Winona is going to be playable! She'll fly around the stage and beat everyone up.
