Pokemon Xcover monster Xernas popped up in a newSuper Smash Bros. screenshot beside a smug Pikachu. Well, Xernas’ crazy rainbow antlers did, anyway. The back of its head, too. Hmm. Why are Pikachu and Xernas standing back to back? Some sort of old west duel about to go down?

Of course, that means it’s rampant speculation time. I’m going with this: with the recent success ofPokemon XandPokemon Y, allSmashcharacters are being scrapped and replaced entirely with Pokemon.
