It's close enough to the launch date, so I don't have to describe this stage to you, right?

Someone's in a rush today.

 

[Growlie19]

5th gen's not getting shafted after all! Nice to see N's Castle as a stage. Perhaps the Plasma king himself will cameo?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

yeah its the weirdest one here (milotic had no roles in either games maybe sakurai just likes the pokemon?)

Mega Milotic; it's happening.

 

[Golnei]

Sakurai getting lazy on us.

He's a maverick developer who won't play by the rules.

With a deadpan comic relief sidekick.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Yup. Nice to see some BW stuff in here too.

Hell yeah, I loved Gen 5! Super hyped about this. Still weird to have two new Pokémon stages in the 3DS version before a single DK, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, F-Zero, or Mother stage though...

 

[Loco4Coco]

Probably be a "champions" stage and the Champion's main pokemon appear throughout the match.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

I know right?

I think a character a day from now until launch would be fair.

Yep, there are 43 characters yet to be revealed.

 

[Hatchtag]

Unova Elite Four and B/W Victory Road theme (complete with gradual addition of instruments) absolutely need to be this stage's music pieces.

 

[alecfa]

At first I thought Milotic was this

Unfortunately, it is this

 

[Kriken]

I know right?

American launch? Yes, bring on the 60+ man roster

Spoiler

I know what you're referring to

 

[Forkball]

Milotic is there to hype up ORAS.

Also the ferris wheel would have been the best BW stage.

 

[Nickle]

Smash GAF complained that the Smash Dojo "spoiled" Brawl by revealing too much, and here we are whining when Sakurai doesn't reveal too much.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Why Milotic? Not that I mind.

That was Sakurai stealthly deconfirming a Hoenn stage for Smash 4.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ladies and Gentlemen....Spear Pillar Mk. II.

Get Hype.

Im sufficiently hyped

 

[BGBW]

Somebody has clearly forgotten about this post

I didn't forget.

 

[Not]

Yeah why Milotic over Kyurem? The Sak works in mysterious ways

 

[Kouriozan]

New stage! Sakurai you troll.

Getting real generous with stage reveals.

Probably revealing all the non secrets stage of the 3DS version as it will release in 6 weeks in Japan.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

LOL. That snake looks like it has no idea what to do.

 

[Tan]

Milotic?

Well it's not Donkey Kong's butt but it sure looks like butt.

 

[Troubled Bat]

The best part of the caption, is how he said we're getting close to the release date.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah why Milotic over Kyurem? The Sak works in mysterious ways

Kyurem's already a Pokeball Pokémon. But yeah, Milotic still makes no sense.

 

[Golnei]

At first I thought Milotic was this

Unfortunately, it is this

Better luck next time.

 

[JoeM86]

Pokémon ^_^

 

[Boss Doggie]

So this is what happens when you make Kyurem a pokeball pokemon - some random gen 3 pokemon gets to take its place!

 

[Nanashrew]

Is that actually Sakurai? He looks like he's going to start a band.

If Sakurai started a band what would it be called?

 

[Hatchtag]

It does make me a bit sad that Hoenn and Johto have no stage rep in the series so far. I'd love for at least Hoenn to finally get a stage.

 

[Dimitri LH]

Yeah why Milotic over Kyurem? The Sak works in mysterious ways

Aint he confirmed to be a pokeball? or am I thinking brawl?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Pokémon ^_^

You knew, huh?
I can tell by your face.

 

[Not]

I love Japanese people

[Growlie19]

Was there water near N's Castle? Maybe Milotic will swim onto the scene at various points.

In the cutscene where N summons his dragon, water is seen evaporating in his throne room. There were also some decorative pools throughout the halls. I don't see Milotic fitting in any of those though.

 

[JediLink]

Smash GAF complained that the Smash Dojo "spoiled" Brawl by revealing too much, and here we are whining when Sakurai doesn't reveal too much.

GAF is not a hivemind. And no one's whining about that.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Man, can't believe I'm 4 for 4 on guesses. It'll come to an end tomorrow.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Because Milotic's fucking awesome. It doesn't need a reason!

It better not just stand around doing nothing like Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit.

Aint he confirmed to be a pokeball? or am I thinking brawl?

Kyurem was shown in the Greninja trailer if that's what you were thinking about.

 

[jph139]

I think Milotic as a background cameo makes the most sense, but when has that ever been a deciding factor?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Man, can't believe I'm 4 for 4 on guesses. It'll come to an end tomorrow.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR

Ah.

Well, why couldn't Alonzo just pop out of Pokeballs on this stage then?

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

So... since Sakurai has so far seemed to want to keep parity between the number of revealed 3DS and Wii U stages, this likely means we can expect two more Wii U stages soon too, right?

 

[EulaCapra]

Milotic? That's not very Unova-like. But I do love me some Milotic, so I'll take it!

"It's close enough to the launch date, so I don't have to describe this stage to you, right?"

Mark my words, this will be used in every remaining update. D=

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

If Sakurai started a band what would it be called?

Super Smash Bros

 

[Dimitri LH]

THATS THE WRONG ATTITUDE! Guess away my friend!

 

[Hours Left]

Man, can't believe I'm 4 for 4 on guesses. It'll come to an end tomorrow.

Why don't you use your powers for good instead of evil?

 

[Dr. Buni]

Aint he confirmed to be a pokeball? or am I thinking brawl?

Kyurem didn't even exist back in Brawl days. It is a Poké Ball in Smash 4, tho.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I wonder what Milotic would even do?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Maybe Milotic is a reference to the crazy ass Pokemon you could catch in the wild of gen V.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Calling it now, veteran reveal tomorrow!

 

[Benzychenz]

YUSSSS A POKEMON STAGE FROM AN ACTUALLY GOOD POKEMON GAME.

 

[SuperSah]

But yes, two Poke stages before any SF, Metroid, DK, Kirby, F-Zero etc. stages.

Hmmmmmm

 

[Amazeballs]

Is that actually Sakurai? He looks like he's going to start a band.

If Sakurai started a band what would it be called?

Too big for this.

 

[Gilbals]
