Should have shifted the losers top to bottom. For example loser 1 (ganon) faces loser 8(whoever it is between Mario or Seph) And work the losers bracket that way so different characters face each other. I pointed this out as soon as the bracket was released! CaptainOfCrush posted... I guess... it closely ties to "worldwide" gaming popularity for Pikachu to be a Top 5-level character. It's just still weird to see it on the site given where he started from. Doesn't seem weird at all. When things started, Pokmon wasn't "nostalgic" yet. The games hadn't even been out for 4 years in the U.S. Gen III was released between the two contests where Pikachu was fodder. But since then, nostalgia has taken over, and Nintendo has fostered that by repeatedly remaking old games and by releasing earlier generations first in Pokmon Go. (Actually, appealing to nostalgia has frequently been Nintendo's main strategy. The New Super Mario Bros. series; ALBW and BotW; FE:A; even the announcement that Smash Ultimate would bring back every character that had been in a previous Smash game. Nintendo loves to cater to its loyal longtime fans. --- "Someday I'll catch up, and then you'll all be surprised!" BKSheikah has the power.
