The newest playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is Ash...or whatever you named him in the Pokemon games.

The newest character in SSB Brawl is... Pokemon Trainer! This nameless trainer hangs around in the background, controlling one of three Pokemon who actually do the fighting for him. Pokemon Trainer always has access to Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, who share the same damage percentage. You rotate through them by using Pokemon Trainer's "Down" special attack.

Note that each of these three Pokemon is at a different stage of evolution, perhaps indicating that Squirtle is the weakest and Charizard the strongest. However, Pokemon Trainer is balanced so that you can't just pound away with the strongest one all the time. The three Pokemon have a stamina characteristic (apparently conveyed through animations) which goes down when a single Pokemon is used too much or when Pokemon Trainer rotates through them too frequently. Loss of stamina seems to affect the Pokemon's effectiveness in battle.

It is highly likely that each of the Trainer's three Pokemon will have different special attacks, making this character a more complex version of the Zelda/Sheik mechanic from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I just want to note that I predicted this character months ago on RFN. Now we'll have to see whether he has the special move I proposed... to capture your opponents in Pokeballs and unleash their involuntary attacks elsewhere on the battlefield. It seems unlikely given his position in the background; I doubt he'll be able to do anything himself except rotate through the starter Pokemon.

I wonder if the Final Smash will be some sort of Pokemon evolution.

So Pikachu can be his own man in SSBB but Squirtle is a slave? RACISM.

Charizard confirms Ridley as a playable character.

Word.

seconded.

Pikachu had the guts to REFUSE to go into the pokeball.

He fought the man and earned the right to be free!

that Baby guy · « **Reply #8 on:** August 12, 2007, 08:54:50 PM »

And Squirtle was the leader of a criminal gang. Who's more hardcore?

Mashiro · « **Reply #9 on:** August 12, 2007, 08:55:33 PM »

He submitted to being a slave. He was just a wanna-be after all. Sorry =/

that Baby guy · « **Reply #10 on:** August 12, 2007, 08:59:08 PM »

No, he had free will the whole time. He chose to help out Officer Jenny by fighting fires. He decided to help Ash's journey, and you don't want to know what he decided to do to yo' mama last night.

Mashiro · « **Reply #11 on:** August 12, 2007, 09:05:38 PM »

Wait wait . . . what's that?

It's the sound of Squirtle being switched out for Ivysaur while Pikachu stays on the battle field.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2007, 09:08:33 PM »

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't drop the soap. I hear the Squirtle Squad had quite a reputation during their time in prison.

That isn't ash, it's Red, thats his actually name

I think this is pretty cool

WPack911 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2007, 11:20:38 PM »

I think the ultimate final smash this guy could have is to have all 3 come out at the same time and have Squirtle do Hydro Pump, Ivysaur do Solar Beam and Charizard do Fire Blast, together pretty much hitting everything on screen. That would be total ownage indeed.

Or he calls a legendary bird depending on which pokemon you have on the field.

Tanookisuit · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2007, 02:06:20 AM »

Neat!

18 Days · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2007, 02:54:32 AM »

I can confirmt aht his final smash involves him catching an opponent in a Pokéball and simply turning around and tossing them off the back of the arena. OHKO.

Ha ha, Red has been confirmed! Wait a minute! That means that the color change will have Blue. Hmm... Yellow and Green as a possible show?

Where does he stand when everybody is flying around Delfino?

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2007, 03:50:13 AM »

He probably rides a flying-type pokemon.

He should still be on the flying platform, just in the background.

UncleBob · « **Reply #23 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:36:36 AM »

Very interesting...

Dozy Boy · « **Reply #24 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:50:36 AM »

When Squirtle throws a pokeball item, a pokemon trainer should pop out.
