New Pokémon Stage Has Been Caught in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Smash just keeps getting better and better

Milotic?

That stage looks awesome. Can't wait to wreck people on it
Too bad we won't get more details on it.

@SockoMario

@The_Ninja I should have been more specific. I meant to say "Why Milotic?"

the stage is team plasma castle?

It looks hideous… like a 3D model from a Nintendo 64 game (Pokémon Snap, anyone?). I wouldn't have expected the Reshiram model in Smash 3DS to look as good as the one in Pokédex 3D or even Pokémon X & Y, but this…

@sillygostly They had to make sacrifices somewhere in order to keep the game at 60fps at all times. The lower resolution Reshiram is probably an example of a sacrifice.

But Zoroark is not playable, huh? :/ (Yes, I'm still bitter)

Cool stage tho

@Player4 Zoroark disguised as N. I'm still crying over this too.

YES I GET TO HEAR A SMASH VERSION OF N'S THEME! Hmm maybe Ghetsis as well too.

@ModestFan93 When did that happen?

Sakurai doesn't have give information if he doesn't want too

3-D Ghetsis in the background pls

Sweet. It reminds me of the awesome victory road stage.

In the last few days, the portable SSB went from "Oh no, it's just a 'lite' version just to please those who wanted a handheld SSB" to "Holy smokes, Brawl's gone portable".
The wait is getting more unbearable each passing day.

@SockoMario
Remember Spear Pillar in Brawl? You know, Dialga-Palkia-Cresselia? Sort of like that.

This is amazing! This is probably going to be the 3DS exclusive Pokemon stage. Which sucks because I would love to see this stage in HD. I can only imagine how gorgeous it would look.

@SockoMario because Milotic is awesome!

This Reshiram model just makes me cringe O_o

Also if anyone else was wondering whether or not milotic may have been a miiverse post translation error(I can't be the only one right?), it isn't, it says Milotic in the original japanese post too. But that begs the question - why Milotic????

The reshiram model seems fine to me. They have to make sacrifices to keep it all running at 60fps. Techincally, the 3DS could do much more if it didn't have that 3D feature. It has to render the image twice. If Smash 3DS had no 3D support, you could expect everything to run at 60fps, and look alot better too. It already looks better than Brawl with 3D supported.

However, the Reshiram model doesn't look too bad.

That's my stage.

Hopefully it won't be as bad as Spear Pillar. Wouldn't make sense to have the screen flip, and the controls to become inverted here. Still Milotic makes no sense. The only place it's catch able is literally the location furthest away from N's Castle.

@BLPs THANK YOU!!!!!! It's scaring me how nobody else noticed this

Cool. I definitely approve of this stage. I like how they're finally adding stages based on some of the exciting things in the Pokemon series, like the Elite Four and N's Castle/outside N's castle/Elite Four. This is much, much better than a boring Pokemon Stadium 3.

Speaking about pokemon stages, how come Smash has never had the Tin Tower from HG and SS as a stage. Battling on the top of a really big tower with a Ho-oh cameo in the bg would be cool.

@torotoid64 well I just assumed since N's Castle sort of sprung up around the league building in black and white, the same thing would happen here after a certain amount of time had passed, which is why the castle itself isn't seen in the background of the screenshot. I'm just speculating though.

@FilmerNgameR probably because HG and SS came out after Brawl was released and by the time smash wiiU and 3DS came around HG and SS weren't current enough.

@RedBeanPorridge I know that but it would be cool seeing that stage in Smash U in HD.

Woah! N's castle? Makes total sense though. I wonder, will it work like Spear Pillar? If not, I want it as a classic stage.

That's my- (notices @Wonder_Ideal's comment) LINE!?

Wonder if there will be a Black/White stage on the Wii U version. X/Y has a Wii U stage based off of the Elite Four chambers (Drasna specifically), but it hasn't been officially announced yet and was just spotted in Greninjas trailer.

That lo-res Reshiram.

Oh heck yeah! Can't wait for Smash 3DS and Wii U!
