Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the sixth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is a 2.5D plane fighting game for the Nintendo Switch and was released on December 7, 2018.
All playable Pokémon from previous installments return as playable characters, including Pichu, who was previously playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In addition, all characters from previous installments appear as well, including the addition of a few new characters from other video games franchises as well. Several Pokémon, originally introduced in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, were also added as Pokémon that are summoned with a Poké Ball.
The game's initial roster consists of the original 8 playable characters from the first Super Smash Bros. game, which includes Pikachu, while the rest of the characters must be unlocked.
A few other things confirmed in the original video is that the female Pikachu version will be added as an color swap for Pikachu as well as Pikachu Libre, also a female, who is known appearing in Pokkén Tournament (Pokkén Tournament DX). Also for Pokémon Trainer, Leaf from Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version will be added as a color swap. As Greninja gains Bond Phenomenon transformation as Ash-Greninja into this game, meaning this Greninja is confirmed to be a male.
On November 1, 2018, it was confirmed through Nintendo Direct that Incineroar is a playable character, and revealed to be the last Pokémon role for Unshō Ishizuka before his passing on August 13, 2018.
This is also be the third game to have storyline since it was last appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, it is the first game to have voice over cutscenes for all cast, mainly English and Japanese. Yet, it is unknown whether the full sentence voice over will affect the regular gameplay, such as for the human speaking characters who don't have either full sentences or/and secondary language voice between the two said languages, just like Fire Emblem’s Marth and Roy who are confirmed to have English which they did not obtained in the previous games.
==Development==
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was first teased during a Nintendo Direct on March 8, 2018, under the tentative title Super Smash Bros., and was formally announced during Nintendo's Nintendo Direct presentation at E3 2018.
The game was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd., the same team that developed Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, with Masahiro Sakurai as the director.
Due to the ever-expanding roster and the separate franchises that represent them, it was revealed on November 1 through Nintendo Direct that due to the difficulty of creating trophies, the trophy system was removed and instead various non-playable characters will serve as Spirits and provide temporary power-ups for the playable characters. These include many different Pokémon from the Pokémon franchise.

The Pokémon Pidgey, Fearow, Butterfree, and occasionally the rare Moltres will fly in the background sky.
===Pokémon Stadium===
A stage consisting of several transformations. The stage starts off flat, but can change its platforms, themed on a different type. The stage can be themed off of the , , , or -type.
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
Similar to the original Pokémon Stadium. The stage starts off flat, but can change its platforms, themed on a different type:
*When the stage is in -type mode, Electivire and Magnezone appear in the background. The sides of the stage will push players towards the ledge at this form.
*When the stage is in -type mode, Snorunt and Snover appear in the background. The floor becomes super slippery at this form.
*When the stage is in -type mode, Skarmory, Drifloon, and Hoppip appear in the background. The stage will have an updraft and all characters have low falling speed and high jumping power at this form.
*When the stage is in -type mode, Cubone and Dugtrio appear in the background. This is the only form that doesn't give any hazards.
===Spear Pillar===
This stage is split into two platforms with one underneath the other. There are two floating platforms on the top platform. Occasionally, Dialga, Palkia, or Cresselia will appear in the background and interfere with the players by flipping the stage upside-down, destroying part of the stage, on shooting out attacks.
===Pokémon League (Unova)===
This stage is mostly made up of one flat platform with two floating platforms and two staircases at the sides of the stage. Occasionally, Reshiram or Zekrom will appear in the background, either destroying the stage with electricity or fire. Milotic, Shaymin and Whimsicott can also appear in the background, but have no effect in battle.
===Prism Tower===
This stage mostly shifts while flying around the Prism Tower. Helioptile can be seen while the stage is on the ground and Yveltal, Zapdos, Emolga, and Magnemite can be seen flying around the stage and the tower.
===Pokémon League (Kalos)===
This stage mostly shifts between 4 types and changes the platforms. Obstacles stand in the way of battle during each transition. While the stage is in -type mode, Axew, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Hydreigon will appear in the background. Occasionally, Rayquaza will appear by itself and will fly across the stage. While the stage is in -type mode, Wailord, Clawitzer, Blastoise, and Piplup will appear in the background. Occasionally, Manaphy will appear by itself and will cause a whirlpool in the center on the stage. While the stage is in -type mode, Infernape, Tepig, Pyroar, and Blaziken will appear in the background. Occasionally, Ho-Oh will appear by itself and will cause giant flame pillars to erupt from the stage. While the stage is in -type mode, Honedge, Steelix, Scizor, and Klinklang will appear in the background.
