I find Meowth a curious Pokémon. It's was in almost every episode of the anime, yet rarely ever felt like a mascot. He's the literal CAT to Pikachu's MOUSE but never felt like Pikachu's real rival. Everyone likes Meowth but never feels like they're any people's favourite. He should've been in Smash!

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."
