Arcanine. Arcaten. Arcaleven.: See! I told you something big would happen, it's Mewtwo!

Okay, so the continuation of this story might not happen for awhile. Up next is Poliwag and his story eventually coincides with another established character, so stay tuned!

:

: MEWTWO! :'D Now I only have to wait 91 more pages until he gets his own page |D

SSBB: Why the /%/&%%¤&/%¤%¤%&# did Nintendo replace Mewtwo with Lucario? Mewtwo can kick Lucarios ass while bound and gagged.

: @MarioKong: Only because of his typing. Lucario is much better than Mewtwo. Not saying that Mewtwo isn't good.

: Okay so...

Mewtwo is a psuedo-legendary that can not only kill pokemon, but possibly kill humans.

Lucario is a normal pokemon that can use psychic powers, telepathically speak, and sense aura.

Mewtwo is a better fighter because I don't see Lucario killing humans.

So I guess Nintendo wanted to balance out the fighters because they didn't want a "Human killing machine" in the game.

: Took me forever to figure out the "ar" in Arcanine was from "arcane".

: @Luxbot:
If we're going by stats Mewtwo has a base stat total of 680.

Lucario has a base stat total of 525.
You do the math.

: @MarioKong: Actually they didn't replace him with Lucario, they just removed him. There's still data left over that shows that he was going to be in the game.

: Yaay! It's back!

@Luxbot: As much as I prefer Mewtwo, In my opininon Lucario makes more sense in a fighting game. Mewtwo floats and uses psychic energy, whereas Lucario actually jumps, kicks, and punches. I also think it's a marketing thing, like changing Ash's companions and Pokemon. They put in Pichu to coincide with Gen II, took it out and put Lucario for Gen IV. They will likely put Zoroark or somethin g in the next one but I could be wrong.

: TOO MUCH DRAMA D:!

: @Pokemontrainergigi: Heh, there is a possibility that he might show up earlier!

@MarioKong @Lockman @Luxbot @Aurastorm_Guardian: Well, when Melee came out, Mewtwo Returns had just been released. It was sort of a marketing thing, similar to how Pikachu and Jigglypuff were in the original to boost enthusiasm for the anime. Now we have Lucario who is only there to represent Pokemon Diamond and Pearl which had also just been released. The only Pokemon character who truly represents the entire franchise would have to be Red, but even then it's only first gen...

@Sir Bacon: Same here! I think I only figured it out within the last couple of years XD
Pretty genius!

@Gamermaster: Pichu also had data. Pretty sure Brawl was made using the same leftover data from Melee.

@Bageluigi: I think both would've been nice, but it would've been waaaaaay too many Pokemon XD

@nadie: Lol, I dunno if you're talking about the comic or the comments, but I seem to have unintentionally inspired a war! :S

: Just curious...when ALL the characters are introduced...what happens?

: @RedJac: Something big. Let's just say that once we get to the legendaries, the four-panel system will change to a more traditional comic page...

: @tveye: Well...maybe Lucario could have a Mewtwo costume, similar to Wario?

: @tveye: Why do you call him Red?

: @MarioKong: In an ideal world...but for some reason Sakurai chose against giving other characters new skins.

@RoboKitty: Because that's his name

: aw shits gonna go down now

: @tveye: Wario got two different costumes.

: @MarioKong: But that's just one character. There were dozens of opportunities, like giving Marth a Roy skin, or Mario a Dr. Mario costume, or Pikachu a Pichu or Raichu skin...I could go on for every character.

: I thought dugtrio was destroying the city

: @BladeX: I'll get more into the stories behind Dugtrio and Mewtwo later. Let's just say...both are responsible for now.

: how far do you have the story thought up. i'm not asking for details, just how much is rock solid. Making stories through this method must be difficult, with the criss-crossing characters n' stuff.

: @Author Jakes: There's only a few characters that I don't have stories for yet. Maybe around 20, but they're unrelated to the main plot so I can just come up with something random. I also have a timeline that I will release after the last page so if anyone is interested, they can read it in chronological order (though it' not necessary and just interjects evolutionary plots).

: Are you doing it up to mew or are you stopping at mewtwo?

: @mastokid: Well, it IS 151 Hidden Depths ;)

: LE GASP!
