@Stomatopod17 It's not fair to say whether Mega Beedrill's introduction is a smart move because we don't know how many megas are left to be revealed for ORAS.
@hypercoyote No, it's not lazy. These are supposed to be new versions of regular Pokémon, so of course the visual differences wouldn't be as major as say Caterpie to Metapod.
@JakeShapiro There's actually a really good reason for that. Wireless controllers are unfit for hardcore/tournament Smash Bros. play because they have input lag and cause latency issues when too many devices are in the same area.
@noctowl
Have you ever been to a fighting game tournament? I have been to four Project M tournaments (two of which also had Melee).
Wireless controllers are perfectly fine for casual play, but for people who want to be near-frame precise, wired is the way to go, and an absolute must. There's a reason fightsticks (the traditional fighter kind of controller for stuff like Street Fighter) used in tournaments are all wired, and the vast majority of competitive Smash players use wired gamecube controllers. If a majority ends up using wireless controllers, it's because the majority of Smash players are casuals, which has always been the case.
Every high level Smash player believes in wired controllers.
@noctowl That is false. Wired controllers are an absolute MUST for competitive fighting games. Wireless controllers are not good for Smash. @Suicune Because wireless controllers aren't good enough for games this demanding in precision/speed.

Re: Seven New Pokémon Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Vegaphil I agree. It's called "Pocket Monsters".

@Frank90
A series named "Pocket Monsters" has weird-looking characters. Oh, what a crime.

@Caryslan
It's possible Ike is just got taller. He was described as a giant in Radiant Dawn.

What do you mean? He sucks/is low tier in Brawl.
