Speculation is stirring on the web following Sakurai’s latest Smash Bros. Wii U screenshot, pictured above. The image hints at the inclusion of Xerneas from Pokemon X & Y, but will the character be a playable fighter in the new Smash Bros.? Will Xerneas be tied to Pikachu’s abilities somehow? Sakurai has not released any definitive information regarding the screenshot, so for now, gamers will have to simply wait for the first high-def Smash Bros. game, and get their Xerneas fix from the fast-selling Pokemon X & Y on 3DS.

Is that really the first conclusion you draw?

Exactly. There are these little times in the game called Pokéballs.

Or maybe instead of Spear Pillar, it could be Flare HQ where you fight Xerneas. Or wherever you battle Yvetal. I don’t know where Yvetal resides because I got X

I wouldn’t expect to play as a four legged creature that cannot stand up right on its hind legs as pikachu can. even for a fictional creature i couldn’t imagine it, so this is more likely
an assist or a pokeball effect.

Not saying you’re wrong. I agree that Xerneas is probably just a pokeball summon or stage model. But Ivysaur was a four-legged fighter.

True, but Ivysaur had those vines that it could use as arms.

If anything, it would confirm that he’s not playable! Nintendo won’t show us a screenshot of a playable character without announcing “Newcomer”. It’s obviously either a Pokemon from the Pokeball item or a Pokemon seen on a Pokemon themed stage.

Xerneas would make a ridiculous playable character. I would imagine it would be in a Pokéball item, I don’t know why you would assume it was a playable character.

Well it is isn’t a playable character seeing we didn’t get a trailer or announcement prior to him being in this picture.
But look at Mewtwo (also a legendary), he was a Smash Bros character in Melee. Back then he was arguably the strongest in the game (with only 2 generations released so-far).
With his 2 new Mega evolutions he’s once again arguably the strongest and Sakurai said he was being considered at the Pokemon X/Y conference.
Being a legendary just means if you’re confirmed as a playable character for Smash Bros., you’ll be toned down so you most likely won’t be a broken character.
