Keep your friends close, but know your enemy's moves. That's now the name of the game in Super Smash Bros. Brawl thanks to Pokemon's latest legendary Pokemon, Manaphy! This Pokemon has a very special ability when it's released from a PokeBall. It causes you and an opponent to swap bodies! That's right, you fight as your opponent. Be careful, though; the damage meter stays the same and if you jump off a cliff, it still counts against you instead of your opponent. Just make sure you're well versed in the moves different characters have before playing, will you? You don't want to be caught up like this.

It’s Manaphy! This Pokémon also appeared in a movie.

This Manaphy is quite different from the other Pokémon that appear in this game. So much so that you’ll think, is this even possible?! Or words to that effect.

    Quite a character, heh. This news is great and all, but like my other comments on Brawl's articles, 'Where is Marth?' Can't help it, huge fan of his.

    I have to agree. Marth was my best character in Melee. It's a shame he's not in Brawl. I was looking forward to kicking some serious ass with him, too.

    Agreed. Marth was actually a very good character. Sad that they cut him .

    Anyways, Manaphy looks useful. Best Pokeball yet, to be honest.

      the marth cut was never confirmed. i highly doubt theyd cut one of the best, and most popular, characters in the game.

    It looks as though being trained with a variety of characters will be very important for online play, especially if items are on.
