>cool, original design
>completely new Pokemon with a lucha theme
>on Ash's team in the anime, so it was important for Gen VI
>will be included in every new game until the end of time by virtue of being a completely new Pokemon
Pikachu Libre
>literally just Pikachu in a costume
>not even a real wrestler
>not exists because of mascot whoring into the games
>had a whopping five seconds of screentime in the anime, in the Hoopa movie
>can't be transferred to XY or SM, meaning it's a shitmon completely locked to ORAS
>isn't even relevant in its debut game, and will never be acknowledged again in the franchise like Spiky Pichu
Pokken developers are fucking retards

>everything bad
Pikachu libre is awesome and my favorite character on the cast
Everyone acts like Pikachu Libre "stole" the slot on the roster from Hawlucha, when the inclusion of a cosplay Pikachu was probably decided before choosing which one to implement. Libre was just the most obvious of the five for a fighting game.
>>29672747
It's more like
>choosing a gimmicky variant of the mascot everybody's gonna forget about over a full-fledged mon with the same niche only better
It's like if Pikabelle got in over Lilligant or Pika(whatever the one in the skirt) got in over Meloetta.
Pikachu libre in Pokken is the worst thing ever happened in the history of Nintedo
Worse than Dark Pit in Smash4
The real outrage is they added Libre instead of PhD
>>29672651
It's normal Pikachu who shouldn't be in the game.
>Two Mewtwos
One of those could have easily been Deoxys. Why did they do this.
>>29673779
Mewtwo
>is genwun
Deoxys
>isn't genwun
Same with Pikalucha
>is genwun
While Hawlucha
>isn't genwun
That's literally it. Nintendo and Namco are always trying to recover customers from the days of the Pokémon craze, that's their target audience now.
>>29673779
>Deoxys has to form a barrier out of meteor debris because it can't just project one out of nothing
>Hawlucha
>would have required actual work
Gee I wonder why they opted for Libre9
>>29675237
>Any psychic type can make a barriar out of nothing
>>29675673
>actual work
Such as? Libre doesn't have the same animations as normal Pikachu. And they get all of the models straight from the main games anyway, they just don't have the cel shading and use different textures.
>>29672798
Or like doctor Mario getting in over a literally who Mario enemy.
>>29676123
More like Dr Mario getting in over a popular new Nintendo character who is also a doctor.
>>29676218
Look not having hawlucha in the game was definitely a mistake but he's still a literally who in the grand scheme of things.
>>29675907
>models straight from main games
Have you seen the models in pokken?
>Hawlucha
>appropriate to use stunners and germans and dragon kicks
would have been bad. They borrowed the moveset from some Tekken character and chose an appropriate Pokemon character to shove it into. Libre has its electrical powers as a conceit to how it can do Germans and shit, Hawlucha would have to do it manually and it would look awkward.

So is Pikachu Libre. Stop shilling.

>Pikachu is a literally who
man, /vp/ is getting real stupid
