Sure, Pika has been looking good in these four-ways, but almost nobody credits Super Smash Bros. for that...Why??? If Pika's strength is almost entirely based on Pokemon, why isn't Mewtwo above him strength-wise??


ensemble cast, aka ff6

Mewtwo is 1 out of 151 Pokemon.

As for the PS3 audience, I'm not exactly sure why they wouldn't unite to an extent behind MGS if they're so eager to do so for MGS4 - maybe not for MGS2/3, but MGS is the game that actualized OurTheBestGameEverMGS4, and people in the fanbase acknowledge that.

I mean, there's no way for even a second I believe RE > RE2 is preferred by the fans on any level, but people who like the new series might've put it a stone's throw away from SotN.

OK, but you've got to think that Super Smash Bros. plays some role in making Pika as strong as he is...

Am I the only one who would take Mewtwo > Pikachu in a straight-up match here?

I mean, easily? It's the Auron/Tidus relationship of Pokemon.

I'm with you on that one, KH. Although if that pick doesn't pan out, it may be the first case in which one of these contest results causes me to do something stupid in real life, like kill myself.

And we're looking for individual Pokemon strength, I maintain that any of the original starters would beat Mewtwo and Pikachu, especially Charizard.

I used to be a hyper of the original starters but, now... not so much. I guess this result should be encouraging for that (2/3rds of this is Blastoise/Charizard!), but without SSB and/or iconic status that 'chu/'two hold, I fear a flop.

Not that we won't have a million and one Pokes to deal with next character contest after the dust clears on this one, I'd wager.

Mewtwo would cream Venuaur, probably Pikachu as well.

Charizard > Blatoise > Mewtwo > Pikachu > Venusaur.

Charmander and squirtle would probably be > venuaur as well, possibly also bulbasaur.

That's how I see it.
PartOfYourWorld | Posted 4/22/2009 10:55:16 PM | message detail
Charizard was universally regarded as the badass one, so I can see him being strongest in inter-Pokeon matches. I can't see fatass Blastoise beating Mewtwo, though. Image is everything!

I didn't realize which game was rocking 50% until I started reading posts. Just assumed it was Zelda then I go back and look at it and HEAD SPLODE. I voted Pokeyman too though so it's fine with me. But it sent a thundershock to my system.

Should I start running now?
KamikazePotato | Posted 4/22/2009 10:56:53 PM | message detail
Blastoise has cannons on his back total badass

And I doubt we see any more Pokemon than usual besides Charizard maybe. You forget that Pokemon is a ridiculous ensemble cast. To put it in perspective, Lucario is probably Top 10 of all time. The dropoff is just that huge.

Eh, 'toise is the closest thing real Pokemon ever got to guns. You can't knock him for that!

Venusaur is one I never had much faith in, but that's because he looks like a chump and damn it why is virtually every grass type also poison god they suck

Doesn't LUELinks have a poll asking about people's favorite Pokemon game that got a lot of votes? I remember R/B/Y getting 50+% in a poll outside of GameFAQs that was posted in here...and R/B/Y killed in it.

Anyway, just saying I'm sticking with MGS > FFT for now. G/S will do better than I originally thought, but R/B/Y should be much stronger and I'm counting on MGS to impress tomorrow.

For some reason, I'd take Pika over Charizard, likely due to Smash Bros. and/or iconic status (though technically Charizard is in all three Smash games, it wasn't until Brawl that he became playable).

God I chose Perfect Dark to win the match, because Majora's Mask is hated and Pokemon is a Gameboy game. I then chose Majora's Mask for 2nd because Legend of Zelda vs. Pokemon never usually ends well for Pokemon.

But in this case, Pokemon is the game that started a beloved franchise, while Majora's Mask is one of the most hated Zelda games. I'm still confused, though, as for why Perfect Dark is flopping this badly, especially considering some of the best review scores of all time from some critics.

My brother had a Blastoise. I then gave it to my AP US History teacher for extra credit (his young daughter wanted one).

Go ahead and lay down your wrath, Poke-backers.

I think Ash (with a cartoon picture) would be way, waaaay more recognizable and popular than "Red." Ass on Pikachu, ASH is the face of the series.

Come awn, guys. Get the next Character Battle opened up and we can see him in action. ^_~

pikachu can survive anti-voting then red,with a game sprite will create so much nostalgia he'll end up good.
honestly i think he'd be a bit stronger than ocelot.
better than kerrigan at any rate,or CJ.

Just went to LL and found this gem of a post.

I went to GF to vote for MM, then I saw pokemon and thought for a second. While I loved MM, Pokemon Blue really shaped how I approached video games and how immersive they could be. Not to mention, I made a lot of friends because of it and it influenced my life for years and years. MM was an incredible game, and if I played them both now I'd have waaaaaay more fun with MM, but Pokemon Blue holds too many fond and important memories for me.

Kind of says it all, doesn't it?
