"Sakurai on how Incineroar was chosen for SSB Ultimate"

https://ift.tt/2PqLp3j Nintendo Everything's translation of Sakurai's latest Famitsu column:When planning began around December of 2015, I had resolved that I had to have all kinds of fighters in the game. Generally, though, I can’t really add a character from a game that hasn’t come out yet to the roster… So, I left one character frame open for Pokémon, and after Pokémon: Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon came out I took another look at it. That resulted in Incineroar being chosen. I wanted to try making a pro-wrestler type character at least once! Incineroar is voiced by the late Mr. Unshō Ishizuka – of Professor. Oak fame – who passed away back in August; he had recorded new lines just for this game. May he rest in peace. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2FmwUJ0
