Super Smash Bros. Brawl Update

Super Smash Bros. Brawl website updates daily, and today it's detailing our favorite topic, Pokémon, by introducing the PokéBalls and some familiar Pokemon creatures.

The update reveals Groudon, of Pokémon Ruby fame, heating up the stage as the beast burns all those who collide with him, and Chikorita from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal will also appear in Brawl. It's unknown which other Pokemon from Melee, aside from Goldeen, will return for this next Super Smash Bros., but players can expect numerous inclusions if the past games are any indication.

"When you throw a Poké Ball in Smash, a Pokémon of some sort will appear and come to your aid," says game director and website man Masahiro Sakurai. "They're quite reliable. But you never know which Pokémon is inside a Poké Ball."

New screenshots and art have been released, showing off the return of a couple of familiar Pokémon, and the Pokémon Stadium stage from Melee. Click images below to see full size screenshots.
