I dunno about that. I mean I don't think it needs to go overboard with third party characters, but I don't really see the need for a set limit at the moment. We aren't Nintendo, we're not developing an official game for them, and so there's not a good reason to do that. However, just because this isn't an official game doesn't mean we shouldn't make it look like it could have been. I'm really not for making the assist trophy qualifications much stricter, but I'm not going to become more lenient with them as time goes on either.
It really doesn't matter yet anyway. While Pokemon were relatively simple to make a final roster for, assist trophies are meant to be representations of many games and therefore I'd like to keep taking ideas for at the very least another month or two. Obviously there's only so many people that sprite well and are willing to sprite for this project and there WILL have to be some cuts to the current assist trophy cast. That doesn't mean I'm going to put a set limit on the amount of assist trophies per series though. I'm going to have to go with the ones that fit best gameplay wise.
The point is, I'm not going to drop well a few well designed third party assist trophies just so we can have some lackluster first party assist trophies in. I'm not biased toward either type of assist trophy; I just want to focus on putting in assist trophies that work well ingame rather than putting in a majority of first party just to say in the end that we did. If it ends up being that there's a lot of assist trophies from a particular series I want it to be because they work well ingame and NOT because they're from X series.
