Xerneas From Pokemon X And Y Playable In Super Smash Bros Wii U?

xerneas in smash bros

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.

      1. Never mention the word “obvious” when you’re talking about nintendo’s imagination! It might most likely be a pokemon or a stage, but never say never!

    1. 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

        1. *LYSANDRE IS THE LEADER OF TEAM FLARE

          *ELITE FOUR CHAMPION IS A FEMALE: DIANTHE, YOU FIRST MEET HER IN LUMIOSE CITY

          *AZ CREATED YVELTAL AND XRENAS AND THE SNAKE THROUGH RITUAL & SACRIFICES

        2. *AZ IS THE KING OF KALOS REGION

          *FLORETTE ABANDONED AZ AFTER RELISING HE SACRIFICED THE LIVES OF PEOPLE & POKEMON TO REVIVE HIM & GIVE HIM ETERNAL LIFE

  1. 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.

    1. 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.

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

        Still, it’s better than my IRL friend’s idea. He wanted Kyogre. :/

  2. I think it won’t be playable, if it’s even included, the most likely thing to happen is it will be a rare pokéball, just like Entei, Suicune and the other legendary pokémons on Smash.

  3. I like how they came to the conclusion that it would be connected to Pikachu’s moveset before they even considered it being a PokéBall summon or a background model.

  4. wow really that’s the first thing you think of when you see this? you know their are these little things in the game called POKEBALLS! (god this is as dumb as people thinking ridley can be a playable character – _ -)

    1. Come up with something other than “he’th too big”.
      Xerneas being playable would be fucking stupid, but Ridley’s possible. Get your head out of your ass, you fucking oxygen thief.

    2. People will always come up with a reason for Why he can be playable. Nostalgia blocks The thinking center of their brains.

  5. 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.

    I still have my money on Mewtwo’s return!

  6. It’s a pokeball. Only way it will be a stage is in the 3ds version since thats based on the handheld games which pokemon X/Y is.

  7. Oh, and Ivysaur was four-legged too.

    And why would Xerneas be back? Wouldn’t he be showing his face if it was Pokéball?

  8. Xerneas is OBVIOUSLY not going to be playable. He just doesn’t fit. He’s sure to be a Pokéball Pokémon or a stage hazard, but obviously not playable .___.

  9. 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.

    1. 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.

  10. it’s probably from a pokeball avantgardian you fucking idiot
    didn’t you play Brawl where legendaries come out of pokeballs

  11. Ever heard of looking at the main site or seeing a trailer as proof of a playable new character? Obviously, it would make much sense as a pokeball summon.

  12. Either from a Pokeball, or part of the Stage, like Palkia and Dialga was in Spirit Pillar. Don’t know why your first conclusion is it may be a playable character…

  13. Xerneas is either a Pokeball or in the background of one of the stages. I swear, though, if he/she somehow gets in the game as playable character over Ridley….heads will roll.

  14. WHAT THE FUCK I JUST READED????

    Man, you have forgot something called ”Pokeballs”? Or maybe ”Stage Hazards”?

    Pikachu ability… Pfff that’s Ridiculous!

  15. And here I was thinking that xenias was a playable character and pikachu was a pokeball. What the hell was in thinking?

  16. judging by how unbelievably fucking stupid sakurai’s character choices have been so far, this would not surprise me

  17. More likely just a pokeball with him, the legendaries always get pokeball action, except for mewtwo, mewtwo has been the only special one that we’ve been able to play as, so I guess it is possible, but more likely just a pokeball encounter

  18. As a person who has never played a Pokemon game, can someone tell me what the big deal is? Is this some super powerful Pokemon or something? I only know of a handful of Pokemon characters, and most are only because of Smash Brothers. So I have no idea who this Xerneas character is.

  19. Honestly smash bros is the only thing I think can save wii u now. That crappy Mario they have coming out doesnt look like a system seller to me but who knows and especially with so many delays happening lately

    1. They still have Mario Kart and Zelda up their sleeves! I doubt Zelda is coming soon but I believe Mario Kart is Spring/Summer release right?

  20. Why do all of the people think that he’s playable? If they knew anything about Smash Bros, they’d know he’s a Pokeball Pokemon.

  22. Turns out Xerneas has to be unlocked by destroying 200 blocks in Trophy Rush as Pikachu. Whaddaya know, the two really were tied together somehow!
