A Closer Look at the Absence of Generation VIII Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC 'super smash bros ultimate reddit'

As we approach two years since its release, Nintendo's massive fighting game extravaganza still refuses to let fans down with new content. The latest addition was none other than Sora from Kingdom Hearts, a move that left many wondering if any more surprises were up the sleeves of developer’s for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

However, despite numerous updates and DLC packs being released since then, one particular group remains glaringly absent: Generation VIII Pokémon. While it's not uncommon to see this happen with big franchise crossovers like this one (just ask fans of Street Fighter V or Tekken 7), the sheer lack of representation from these beloved creatures has left many a fan feeling utterly disappointed.

The absence is even more puzzling given that other franchises have been represented quite well. For instance, you can play as characters such as Bayonetta and Inkling just by unlocking them through regular gameplay – but not our lovable starter Pokémon? It's hard to understand why Nintendo would choose to exclude entire generations of these beloved monsters from their roster.

Of course, there could be several reasons behind this decision. Perhaps the developers simply haven't had enough time or resources available to properly implement such a large cast into the game without compromising its overall quality standards. Alternatively, maybe Nintendo is waiting for something bigger and more exciting before making any further announcements about future DLC plans.

Regardless of why it's happening (or not), one thing remains certain: fans are getting increasingly frustrated with each passing day that goes by without hearing anything official from Nintendo regarding new Generation VIII Pokémon joining the fray in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In conclusion, while we can only speculate on what lies ahead for this beloved fighting franchise at present – perhaps a future update will finally bring us some much-needed representation from Gen 8? Until then though, let's all keep our fingers crossed that maybe someday soon enough Nintendo will listen to the voices of its dedicated fanbase and give these deserving Pokémon their well-deserved spot in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
