[Fool's Requiem]

my little sons have zero interest in Pokemon

I see that as a good thing right now. Pokémon has become stupid expensive over the past few years despite being Uber popular in every generation it has existed in. People hoarding Pokémon shit has made it harder to find stuff at reasonable prices.

Pokémon has always been one of my oldest's autistic special interests. Like, they used to want to quiz me on base stat totals for random Pokémon and I'm like, dude, I barely even know the names of Pokémon that aren't the original 151.

I wonder if at any point this starts to trickle into Smash

So many things in there people born within the last 20 years don't understand the reference

Same thing with Pokemon, they think they are insulated forever but everything else trickles from the games, my little sons have zero interest in Pokemon, and as we are seeing more competitors are finally starting to seriously move into this genre

You can't coast on nostalgia forever...

It didn't stop Smash Bros Ultimate from selling more copies than every other home console Smash release combined.

I'm talking about in the future. They are clearly still coasting on the nostalgia. At what point is R.O.B. not in there. Or Mr. Game and Watch. There are so many basically abandoned IPs in Smash, but you need to make room for what the new kids want, the next generation, which means you have to look at what to include.

I'd say "I'm skipping the Smash Bros with the skibidi toilet guy in it", but realize all that shit is in Fortnite and I still play that.

I'd absolutely try to frag anyone using that skin before anyone else, though.
