Assist Trophies and Pokemon

[Koopaul]

Well SOMEONE has to be rare and the decision to make them rare is what makes them special, not vice versa.

Not really. Mew actually is a rare special Pokemon. And in Smash Bros they do the same.

I think rare special ATs should be characters that are super special in their actual games.

Maybe Great Fairy makes sense or something... But not Poochy.

Or we could still have poochy, except he is common and RARELY finds CD's and the like. However, he is more likely to find rubbish like fans or food.

[Vic]

I've had this idea for Poochy for some time now, thought I should share it with you guys.

Basically, when he's summoned, he starts sniffing while walking around the stage, and a after a few seconds, he'll bark and start digging up something, up to 3 or 4 items.
The stuff he digs up should be low-damage throwables or food, with the rare bob-omb, smartbomb or lasersword or even a smashball.
However, if he's hit several times (5 or 6 times or something) while he's on screen, he gets angry and starts running in either direction, hitting everyone in his way for moderate damage (I was thinking of ~20%) with some knockback.

yes/no?

[Locked Achievement]

maybe less than 20%, more like 10%, but that sounds cool!

[Baegal]

agreeing with Aura

[Koopaul]

That sounds good to me.

[Ton]

So he's conpletely useless in that he just digs up items less useful than the item you started with?

[Koopaul]

No I think the "he rarely finds Trophies" idea is good. Poochy is common but its uncommon for him to give you something rare. He's a chance character.

No I think the "he rarely finds Trophies" idea is good. Poochy is common but its uncommon for him to give you something rare. He's a chance character.

I'd suggest to make him like the sandbag, that he gives you food and crap items most of the time, but still can give you a trophy on a low % basis (like the sandbag can give you CDs)

Edit: Not like the sandbag in the way that you hit him, I ment in the way that it distributes items.

[Alpha Six]

I'm pretty sure that's what he just suggested.

[D2S-Speed]

Are we gonna leave Shadow as an Assist Trophy are we gonna use another. I have an idea for one but it may be lame to you guys.

Chao

It's 5 Chao that come out dancing and singing a lullaby.
If a character gets to close they fall asleep, and grow a flower on their head doing some damage.

or maybe Emerl!

[Shadowth117]

The Poochy idea sounds good.

I don't really see why we'd remove Shadow (especially since there isn't really a limit to assist trophies within good reason), but as for your chao idea I think its a bit too similar to bellossom honestly. It doesn't help that chao aren't really known for doing that sort of thing. I'd really just like to avoid having clones. I did put Emerl up a while back though so you can suggest some revisions to my idea if you'd like.

[D2S-Speed]

Had no idea you put up an idea for Emerl, right now I'm stumped on ideas sorry.

[Locked Achievement]

I had some ideas for assist trophies; chaos from sonic battle; you know that thing he does with the water? well he could do something like that for a fairly long time that hurt anybody that touches it
or metal sonic, performs a random final smash/ B-move
or cutman, lobs his scissors that go in a boomerang shape, but instead of returning to him, they keep going, turn around, fly past him, turn around etc etc....

[Shadowth117]

Chaos does a few things with water in the game if I recall. Could you be more specific about that please?

I'm not really sure what you're saying with Metal Sonic either. I'm gonna have to say an assist trophy doing anything like a final smash would be too powerful, but where were you trying to go with the B move thing?

I do like the Cutman idea though.
