I'd rather they not include him at all and save him from humiliation than his very weak counterpart in Melee... I still think Mewtwo > Lucario, even in Smash. Ever seen Taj's Mewtwo? He's pretty good.

Yep, you are absolutely right. I use a bulky Moltres set myself, and he works very well and even walls Heatran (Pressure stalling FTW) However, I will say that the versatility is very limited somewhat with the Fire types due to the lack of species (water is the most abundant species so it's really unfair). I like Camerupt because he doesn't have to play like a sweeper and can deal with stuff like Raikou and Zapdos. Arcanine has a BST greater than any non-legendaries except for those BST 600s and Slaking... so of course he can be EV'd to take hits from Gyarados (factoring in Intimidate). However, he's better off as a mixed sweeper, and he'd still be countered by a Mixpert quite easily. Arcanine is versatile, I'll give you that. Flareon plays defensively (on the special side, of course) because of her lack fo movepool on the physical side. Houndoom and Typhlosion only do one job... and that's sweeping. They can't ever go for a defensive role... but Typhlosion is only used for his ChoiceScarf'd Eruption as lead... that's about all. Houndoom usually attacks from the special side and uses Nasty Plot SOMETIMES just to power up his moves... but other than that, his use is confined to attacking. Infernape can attack from both sides of the spectrum but he's still only doing one thing: and that's attacking. As for those defensive fire types, Magcargo and Torkoal, they're very unfortunate. Defensive fire types just don't match up. Fire should be more offensive... and Torkoal as a rapid spinner is unfortunately VERY SLOW and weak to Stealth Rocks and cannot switch into anything like Earthquake or Stone Edge or even Surf... although his defenses MAY allow him to take a hit or two from the physical side. As for Magcargo, this poor escargo has a 4x weak to Water and Ground. He'd do very good in NU where there are many bugs (but Whiscash still owns him)... and he gets Recover, but unfortunately for that typing, defense doesn't work. I really didn't mean to say Fire types are not versatile, but all I see from Fire types are the sweeper side of it... because the defensive versions in short of Moltres or Ninetales or Arcanine just doesn't seem to make sense. Are you kidding me? Ninetales is one of the most beautiful Pokemon there is... sure Vulpix is more cuter, but Ninetales is more... elegant and beautiful. You can't deny that beauty of the kitsune... No one would switch Torkoal into a Water type... ever. Magmortar still has other ways to deal with Marshtomp or Quagsire (Sunnybeam anyone?) but most Magmortars wouldn't stay in any of those (Marshtomp should be Swampert btw). Poor Magmortar needs a better ability than Flame Body Dragon Rage = EXACTLY 40 damage... not good for competitive battle. And that Gyarados is only walled by the rare defensive sets... but Arcanine really can't do much against a Gyarados either barring Thunder Fang. Gyarados can set up with ease (usually the bulkyset) and hit back with strong Waterfalls. This particular Arcanine is weak on the special side though so Mixperts usually do the trick. Heatran is doubly weak to Ground, not Water. Steel is not weak to water, but water attacks tend to be effective only because not many Steels aside from Dialga or Empoleon resist Water. Heatran is scared of Earthquakes/Earth Powers.

So you're going to bring 6 Pokemon just to take down one monkey... okay... have fun with that while something else takes down the rest of your team with ease... Also, Palkia and Kyogre are not allowed in a standard team. To take down Infernape, usually Vaporeon or Gliscor or Tentacruel works... Tentacruel only for mixed sets, which are the most common ones. Alakazam cannot switch into a physical attack though, so watch out. And thanks

Don't you hate Fire types? lol, isn't it ironic how you need to get a fire type to get an awesome water type? @_@ Actually, Venusaur is the best starter of the Kanto ones... and Blastoise is the worst one. Despite that, I picked Squirtle.

I was just kidding about the Fire Nation... empires like that must DIE... If you want you can keep talking about your precious water types while I can defend the fire types just for fun (you know how much I hate Infernape).

*No Pokemon were harmed during this storymaking, except...* Bidoof! supplies

I'm really defending the fire types to show you that they're not as bad as you say it is. It's really wishful thinking what you're saying... just like saying Pidgeot is a viable option over Staraptor or something like that... and also, I like Ninetales over some Water Pokemon, just to let you know I'd LOVE to make pretend that Electric types were terrible, but unfortunately, I know electrics actually rule the metagame... they're the ones who plot the conspiracy to ban Garchomp into ubers so that they'll rule the metagame again, but let's not get into that Fire nation FTW

Hey! I like my Dewgong Er... Espeon

It doesn't make any sense... you need to put a verb, not an adverb... so I'll assume you wrote explodes or something like that a bomb

Er... you went down 2? -65

Now what. Do I start it over? If that's the case... I'll post a forgotten Pokemon... Abomasnow!

Hmmm... interesting. The story of grief and redemption? I'll read this after I finish my lab practical and fill you up with my comments, I guess :-/

Palkia and Kyogre are the two menaces of uber battling... especially when Palkia can also destroy Blissey in the rain with Aqua Tail (2HKO). Back in RSE Groudon and Ho-oh were the two best team players of ubers... now these two water titans rule Uber battles. Unfortunately for Palkia, his only weakness (Dragon) is common, so play with caution. But even then, I think we're talking about people's preferences for which type, right? They pick either Fire or Water... and it's really their choice. Like I said, I pick water for their variety of strategies other than hit fast and run...

My brother has this game... but I don't know how it is like. Can anyone tell me how the gameplay is like and if it is worth playing?

I saw Horn drill once if I am not mistaken... it hit Roy like crazy back in Melee... Speaking of Melee, I miss Roy and Mewtwo... especially since I love FE6, where Roy came from, and Mewtwo was my main character. What in the world did they do to the ultimate Pokemon? I mean seriously... it was BLATANT that they nerfed him so BADLY that he was not in his par. I think he's upset he loses to stuff like Pikachu and Jigglypuff and Pichu...

Wooper's also part Ground and his stats are even worse... a LOT worse. 25 special doesn't cut it... and if you want a pure water type try something else... like Manaphy or something. And sorry, I like to play devil's advocate sometimes :-/ But I also have to correct you in places where you're wrong.

You're welcome I think you'd like to visit that house every day because you get to re-battle the gym leaders and those tag team trainers like Riley and Cheryl... although I've yet to see Cheryl and I see Buck a LOT (probably because that is his house).
