The best thing is the cast choice, they didn't simply resort to "standard" or popular picks, but they went with less popular Pokèmons that could make interesting fighters, such as Great Tusks or Toxicroak
True, and I love the reason it's like this too. The cast they select from is fixed this way because they're only using actual Fighting type Pokémon while ALSO straying from popular picks. The focus on fighting types limits their options plenty yet (apart from Blaziken) they've mostly kept "obvious" choices out of the equation (like Lucario).
Pokken slander aside (which is fine! It’s not everyone’s cup of tea), I’m glad that to see folks are starting to give this game attention! Not a lot of folks consider just how odd and fun you can get with your roster choices when you’re free to dabble and go for odd stuff and the concepts alone deserve to be adored.
It's got Blaziken and that's probably the only pick people would be able to guess without any knowledge before hand. I love Lucario and infernape but they would have been obvious picks and always get love Toxicroak was a great pick and falinks is so unexpected but it works really well for a puppet master fighter
Honestly pokken was really unique for an arena fighter And yeah I wished companies stopped making theme and make more fgc oriented games like fighter z And this is also a nice change of pace from Pokémon vgc
