Character Sheet: The Torchic Line

TORCHIC/COMBUSKEN/BLAZIKEN

Next up is our Gen III fire starters, Torchic, Combusken, and Blaziken, based on chickens and more specifically, the concept of cockfighting, as seen by its partial Fighting typing. This one was also quite popular at the time, as were its companion lines.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Ember > Flamethrower (II) > Fire Punch (III)

Side B: Scratch > Double Kick (II) > Blaze Kick (III)

Up B: Flame Charge

Down B: Sand Attack > Reversal (III)

Final Smash: Flare Blitz > Mega Blaziken (III)

Smash Character Sheet: The Treecko Line

TREECKO/GROVYLE/SCEPTILE

And now, we begin our Gen III Pokemon dex, starting with our Grass starter, Treecko, Grovyle, and Sceptile. They are based primarily on the leaf-tailed gecko, but also on geckoes and anole-type lizards in general. This is also one of the rare occasions the Grass starter tends to be the favorite of the gen, though this time around, it does have some stiff competition.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Leafage > Leaf Blade (III)

Side B: Quick Attack > Fury Cutter (II)

Up B: Mega Drain > Giga Drain (III)

Down B: Quick Guard > X-Scissor (II)

1. Wes and Rui

2. Michael

3. Pokemon Ranger

4. Lucy Fleetfoot

5. Baron Phobos

As the main villain, Baron Phobos has a natural place as an echo fighter for Lucy Fleetfoot, being the next major character in the Pokemon Trozei game. He will function mostly the same, but he will be a bit more agressive with his attacks, let's say.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Trozei Beamer

Side B: Trozei Shift

Up B: Phobos Lift

Final Smash: Light's Out

He will turn the entire stage dark, making things confusing for all players on the stage, while the members of the Phobos Battalion attack.

1. Wes and Rui

2. Michael

3. Pokemon Ranger

4. Lucy Fleetfoot

5. Baron Phobos

Next up is Lucy Fleetfoot, a secret agent and the protagonist of Pokemon Trozei. She is equipped with the Trozei beamer which will teleport Pokemon will still inside their Poke Balls, so as not to alert the members of Phobos that stole the Pokemon. Her moveset is entirely built around the mechanics of Trozei.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Trozei Beamer

She will fire her beamer at an opponent, and, when hit, the opponent will be instantly transported a few feet bechind Lucy.

Side B: Trozei Shift

She will project a small highlighter square a few feet in front of her, and anything on the same lateral plane as that square can be moved up, down, left, or right as the player sees fit.

Up B: Fleet of Foot

She will jump into a revolving door and fling herself up into the air, like she does in her intro.

Down B: Jammer Ball

She will toss out a jammer ball, that will serve as a projectile then as an immovable obstacle on the stage that her opponents will have to work around.

Final Smash: Trozei Satellite Beamer

Her agency's satellite will fire a beamer from above, instantly teleporting all players on the stage beyond the stage boundary.

Entrance: Jumping into a revolving door and coming out in her costume.

1. Wes and Rui

2. Michael

3. Pokemon Ranger

4. Lucy Fleetfoot

5. Baron Phobos

Next up, we have the Pokemon Rangers, the protagonists of the Pokemon Ranger series. Be they Lunick and Solana of the first game, Kellyn and Kate of the second, Ben and Summer of the third, or any of the minor supporting characters from all three, they all have a basic set of moves, including lassoing Pokemon with the ranger styler, using a special top to add a partner Pokemon's power to the battle, the ability to send a partner Pokemon to perform a task in the overworld, and so on.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Ranger Styler

A circle will be drawn around an opposing player with the styler, damaging them any time they touch the sides.

Side B: Partner Pokemon

The ranger will send forward a Pokemon, probably Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, or Ukulele Pichu, to perform an attack.

Up B: Staraptor

Since Staraptor regularly acts as an easy transportation system for the Rangers in the games, it will do so here as well.

Down B: Partner Power Top

The ranger will spin the top and send it flying out, causing a field of elemental effect around it.

Final Smash: Super Styler

The Ranger will be able to draw a circle around all players on the stage, and then take full control of all players for a short time.

2. Michael

3. Pokemon Ranger

4. Lucy Fleetfoot

5. Baron Phobos

Next up, we have Michael, the protagonist of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, the son of a scientist working at a lab dedicated to purifying Shadow Pokemon from their darkness. As a result, he is equipped with a snagging machine and a special device that alerts him to the presence of a Shadow Pokemon, making a companion like Rui non-essential, which is the main reason Michael would be an echo of them.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Snagem

With Michael's smaller vehicle instead.

Up B: Cipher Lift

Down B: Eevee

Same, but just the one and weaker.

1. Wes and Rui

2. Michael

3. Pokemon Ranger

4. Lucy Fleetfoot

5. Baron Phobos

First up are Wes and Rui, the protagonists of Pokemon Colosseum. Wes is similar in nature to a Pokemon Trainer, with a lot of the same mechanics, except that he can steal Pokemon from other people, rides a big Mad Max-style hover vehicle, and he can purify Shadow Pokemon. Rui acts as his companion, able to identify Shadow Pokemon with her special eyes.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Snagem

Wes will power up his snagging device and throw a Poke Ball, capturing a player inside it. This won't be as easy to break out of.
