Pokemon to be in Super Smash Brothers Brawl

September 22, 2007

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

On December 3, 2007 Nintendo will be releasing the newest incarnation in the Smash Brothers series with Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. Right now you can cruise your way on over to the Smash brothers Dojo site and see all of the new characters coming out for the game but I wanted to take a few minutes and focus on the Pokemon aspect of the game.

Pokemon Trainer

The Pokemon TrainerYou see this guy? He is the Pokemon Trainer. He comes with three Pokemon; Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard.

Just like in Pokemon the trainer does not do any real fighting, he just sends out his Pokemon to do the fighting for him. Unlike the Pokemon games each of these three Pokemon share the same health meter! They do have a special Stamina stat that makes up for this.

The Pokemon trainer has a special ability that allows him to switch out the Pokemon during the battle but they switch out in a particular order; Squirtle -> Ivysaur -> Charizard -> Repeat! Because of this you need to be careful of how you use this character.

My opinion? I guess it looks pretty cool and all but i think i would much rather just use a single Pokemon such as…

Pikachu

Pikachu prepping Volt TackleNow that is a Pokemon! See the energy crackling around Pikachu? It comes from the attack Pikachu is prepping; Volt Tackle!

Pikachu has been around for a while and there are many players who just love playing as the shocking yellow mouse Pokemon. Let’s face, who is the face of Pokemon? Pikachu is!

Don’t worry too much about Pikachu though because I have been hearing rumors of other Pokemon that will be appearing in the game. Pokemon from the Sinnoh region per chance? Who might they be? How do you get them?

PokeBalls

There is an item in the game called a PokeBall. If you throw it you never know who you might get out of it.

After you throw it and the PokeBall opens up a random Pokemon pops out and attacks everything in its path!

Piplup

Piplup using SurfOh man, is that who I think it is? Yes! It is Piplup, the Water starter from the Sinnoh region and Dawn’s Pokemon from the TV show.

What is that crazy Water Pokemon doing? Why using Surf of course!

Piplup is able to use surf to surf around the battlefield. Watch out for Piplup because he can Surf you right off of the battle field.

I have not heard anything about the other Sinnoh starts yet but I do know of a few more Pokemon that can appear from a PokeBall.

Munchlax

Hungry, Hungry MunchlaxOh no it’s the hungry, hungry Munchlax!

Unlike the other Pokemon that you can get from the PokeBall Munchlax does not attack the other characters in play. Munchlax is far too single-minded to engage other characters in battle.

What does Munchlax do? If you could not guess I’ll tell you. This gluttonous Pokemon wanders the battle field looking for items to eat! When Munchlax is on the field you better grab those items fast before he eats them all up, yum!

Groudon

Hot, Hot GroudonOMG, it’s one of the largest Pokemon around! The legendary Pokemon Groudon from the Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald games for the GBA!

So, what does Groudon do? Well he’s hot. I mean REAL HOT!

See how everyone is sort of bouncing off of him on with their butts on fire? Touching the big guy causes almost every player on the field damage. Almost every player, the person who called him is not burned by the awesome power of Groudon!

Otherwise he just sits still. No word on Kyogre but there is one other legendary…

Deoxsys

Deoxsys uses Hyper BeamI do not know if you can see it very well but that is Deoxsys, the DNA Pokemon.

What does Deoxsys do? Well he sort of flys up high. Turns around a bit…

Then he unleashes a Hyper Beam on the battle field!

Watch out for that super powerful attack because if you get hit by that it is going to hurt!

So, what do you folks think about the upcoming release of Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii? Post some comments below or start a thread in our forum!!!

The Wii has had a slow start in regards to games. I was disappointed when Pokemon Battle Revolution was released and there was no RPG element in it.
