Pokemon introduced items that let you change which stat gets boosted and lowered and they aren't too hard to get. So you can effectively fix the natures on even event Pokemon now.

SSB4 mentioned "Princess Toadstool" in one of the in game tips.

"Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom Peach first appeared in Super Mario Bros., where she was known as Princess Toadstool. This was also the first of her many run-ins with Bowser..."

Eh, for real though my first impression was kinda underwhelming, though depending on how protective they want to be on spoilers I guess they'd have to conceal a bunch of stuff.

Yeah. Even showing stuff not too far into the game would spoil an early plot twist.

Can someone explain to me how is there a "Bravely Default II" if Bravely Second already came out?

The series has been know to play games with the game name in the past. So there might be an in game reason they did this.

This was my first thought. That glitch was definitely fixed in Stadium 1 and Gen 2, but it wouldn't be that weird to see a similar glitch in Stadium 2 or even for it to go unnoticed. (Why would anyone ever bother looking into Stadium 2 battle mechanics when there was never any reason to play it competitively?)

Pokemon Mechanic research is as old as Pokemon itself. People did it back then just because they could.

http://www.angelfire.com/pa4/jman/statcond.html

"In Stadium 2, the changes are different. If a stat-raising move is used on or by a pokemon that is afflicted, the computer will "forget" about the stat penalty and increase the stat as if the stat-increaser were the only modification to the stat. Unlike the Gameboy bug, if a stat-decreaser is subsequently used, the computer will not "remember" the stat penalty. It will simply modify the stat in conjunction with the other stat modifications. Just as in the Gameboy games, the only stat-alterations that will be passed on by Baton Pass will be those induced by moves, not those from the Paralysis. Unlike the Gameboy games, the computer will not "forget" the penalty if stat-increasers are passed to a Paralysis victim. The computer will "forget" the penalty if a move used for stat-increases is used on or by the afflicted pokemon after it is in play, however. "

I don't see how this follows. Wouldn't P4G not have been allowed in GotD 2 if it really counted as Persona 4 for contest purposes?

I meant in terms of strength. Voters seemed happy to vote for P4G as if it was Persona 4. However, in PotDs Persona 5 Royal isn't nearly as strong as Persona 5.

51 Speed Bold Fighter because Nino can't read what her skills do. I don't really know what skills to give her yet. In total this cost 1408 Orbs which was really good. There's only around a 20% chance to get 11 copies in 1408 or less. But, it's the Orb cost per Nino that's really silly. It went 38, 13, 39, 28, 58, 171, 8, 161, 218, 18 then 656. So 752 Orbs to get the first 10 Nino and 656 to get the last one.

I do think there's atleast some desire to not re-use characters, because I can't really see them picking Min Min over Spring Man or Ribbon Girl otherwise. They've never showed any desire to focus on popularity over main characters previously.

How is Ribbon Girl a reused character? Spring Man is an Assist Trophy but Ribbon Girl isn't, right? Ribbon Girl is a Spirit, but so is Min Min.

I agree that they shouldnt let an AT stop them from adding a character, but I think the fact that an AT exists indicates that they have no intention of adding the character.
If Sakurai had any desire/expectation for adding Akira or whoever as a playable character I dont think he would make them an AT in the first place.

You aren't exactly wrong. At the time the Assist Trophies were decided on, all of this trophy characters were likely already ruled out for both the base game and the first set of DLC. This probably extended to Spirits as well. The thing is that plans changed and they decided to do a second set of DLC. The choices for the second set of DLC may conflict with ATs or Spirits and they would need to make a decision if that matters or not and I think they would decide that it doesn't. I guess that's easy for me to say about Spirits when that rule is already dead but I don't think ATs will stop them either.

There's little reason to avoid adding a character just because they are already an Assist Trophy in the game. There are workarounds like not letting that Assist Trophy spawn if the same character is in battle. But they could even do nothing like how they left Chrom in Robin's Final Smash.

A few factors played into this decision, including the current Fortnite landscape and recent competitive results.

....what kind of bs non-explanation is that? This ChrisG guy is obviously trash, but it doesnt look like this is a healthy organization to be a part of either.

Isn't "recent competitive results" just another way to say their Fortnite players sucked? I'm not sure what their actual recent records are so maybe I'm wrong.
