Assist Trophies and Pokemon

Lakitu was 3D in Adventure Mode in Melee though. We could sprite Lakitu ourselves. I don't think it'd be "the same" if we didn't use the original Excite Bike sprites. It'd be kinda like making Game-and-Watch 3D.
(That was a shitty comparison but I'm just sayin')

I don't remember Lakitu in Melee's adventure mode... But there is a flaw in your logic, Devil. Devil was originally an 8-Bit NES character just like Excite Biker, however he was given a 3D model in Brawl. I found that strange.

Really Lakitu didn't appear in Melee's adventure, it's only a 3D trophy

I think that it isn't the same. There aren't 3D models of Game & Watch, but there are some 3D model (In Melee's trophy and in Nintendo DSi Sound) of Excite Biker. ^^"
