Game cast- No new character suggestions

[Teeks]

I don't think the Pokemon Trainer should be cut because IMO, Pokemon Trainer represents the Pokemon Series as a whole better than any single Pokemon ever could. I also think Toon Link and Wolf are worthy of being in but with movesets to capitalize on their differences from the characters they're clones of. Toon Link has been in multiple Zelda games in that form, he has plenty of items and weapons he can use to have different moves from Link.

Lucario and Mewtwo, I'm on the fence. On one hand, I believe Mewtwo should not have been cut in the first place. On the other hand, I think Lucario should stay to have a Pokemon from a Gen that isn't First. You guys will have to decide on this one cause I'm torn.

And I fully support the inclusions of Krystal, Claus, Little Mac and Megaman. I also wouldn't mind seeing Starfy.

I agree with the Pokemon Trainer idea. I was just worried about coding on his part. As for Lucario and Mewtwo, I'm with you 100%. I like Mewtwo much more, but I see that Lucario was added because of the new generations. I'm likewise torn. We can have both, but then we'd have to add more characters to other franchises. Namely Mario. Because having more Pokemon characters than Mario characters seems like a cardinal sin to me.

I agree completely. As other people said, we don't have to follow what Nintendo would do, as we're not Nintendo but it still makes sense to keep bigger franchises balanced. Mario is Nintendo's big mascot franchise whereas Pokemon is their big Handheld franchise, it makes sense for those two to have the most.

For Mario, I see four possible candidates that make sense.

Bowser Jr.: Bowser Jr. has appeared in every major Mario platforming title as a primary villian since his appearance in Super Mario Sunshine and even was basically the main villain in NEW Super Mario Bros. He's been in pretty much every spin-off title since his inclusion and is probably the only major Mario character in this day and age to not be playable. Give him his paint brush, as well as maybe some spin-off based moves and you have a pretty neat character.

Toad: Toad may be a longshot at this point, due to Nintendo's recent decision to make him practically not exist, but before they decided to use him less, he too was a major player. He was playable in SMB2, was Peach's loyal friend in most of the original games, starred in Wario's Woods and was a major character in all the cartoon series'. Toad's moveset maybe a little harder to come up with than Bowser Jr's, but it could be done.

Geno: Geno's popularity is undeniable and because we're not Nintendo and don't have to go through Square to get him in the game, I see no reason he shouldn't be included. He's got plenty of moves and plenty of popularity to back him up.

Paper Mario: While I for one am not a big fan of alternate versions of the same character *Though I do love me some Toon Link*, Paper Mario is different enough from Mario himself to actually have an original moveset and be an all around fun character. Plus, a sprite sheet already exists.
