While developing Nintendo vs. Capcom, I have wanted to do this for a long time now, and that is to include Red from Pokemon as a character. Now of course, Red won't be the one fighting, it will be a Pokemon of his. At the moment, I am really on par of two Pokemon, ether Charizard or Pikachu. Charizard's ideal character will be rather simple, as he is pretty complete as is, apart from a couple of things, and Red just fill in the spot (inspired from Pokemon Origins), or have Red alongside Pikachu for a more original moveset, (following on Pokemon Adventures).
This is an example sprite of what I may use for Red if I go with Pikachu. And speaking of Pikachu...
This is the Pikachu character/sprites I am currently using.
And this is the Charizard I am using, with a couple of good twists and turns.
Anyways, I am open to suggestions, thing is, I may find it easier to have Red be with Charizard, but I think that the Pokemon Adventures Red with Pikachu would make more of an original moveset. Also with Red, I want him as a background character, like Rush with Mega Man in MvC, and if you know how to do this, I need to know asap, because that is what is most important to me. Thanks for reading!
