Suicune being in is very promising for other types of Pokemon being in. And i hope the developers realize Gallade should be in if Gardevoir is too. I'm still hoping for Bisharp and a huge Pokemon like Regigigas will be included but I'm pretty excited about this game as more info is being shown.

It's looking pretty good.

Personally, I want them to put in a joke character in there like Jigglpuff or Metapod just for fun :P

Smash has that and is complete shit, sucks the fun out of the game which is supposed to be all the ''random shit'' going on. Don't get me wrong i get what you're trying to say, but if we (they, investors, the president, whoever) want a proper ''traditional'' 2D fighter them make one from the ground up, getting another type of game and trying to turn it in a 2D fighter just because, is Ehhhh - That idea you mention is perfect but that it is, a separate idea. AmI against choice? no, of course not, get the mode in if you want, but that's just ''Expend more time and money perfecting something that was not even in the original idae as you envisioned'' that has to be the most shitty feeling for a game developer

Now onto the important part, if the final boss isn't Bidoof then the whole project is a lost cause.

I'm more hoping for holiday 2015, honestly. I think this game will come out much earlier than people think.

I just want it later becauase this year is just so packed and I want to clear my backlog to 5 games. :P

It's not shit at all. It's not perfecting anything. It's literally as simple as turning off the 3D roam mode and programming the camera so it doesn't favor one side. It would require like no work. Sakurai deals with it. These guys, who make traditional fighting games for a living, can deal with it too.

I would say this year is packed so much as the second half is. If everything was spaced better, there wouldn't be an issue, but I get your point. Still, it's not like it's a single player game. Fighting games of any kind are great because you can play them at your own pace. You can pick it up and play at your leisure without worrying about saving the world or something.

So I might get drilled for this, but why would people not want something similar to this as the new battle system in the main Pokemon games?

how about no?

Knew it was a more naruto like game from the very first trailer but no one would listen :S. Just rewatch that trailer and you can easily tell.
