I'm not even going to go into whether or not a character that's already a part of another character's moveset should be elegible of being an Echo (Chrom...), I think I've said enough

Also, if you can guess what possible Echo Fighters I'm ranting about exactly, you get a cookie 🍪

I genuinely love their design and I can't get enough of it

In other words, are there more "animalistic" animals in the series like in Mario?

(They would be stylized into actual Pokemon, so don't worry about them not being animals)

My picks would be Arlownay, Flame Swordsman, and Neo Aqua Madoor

Arlownay: Their evolution line would be based around Silver Fang/Flower Wolf

Flame Swordsman: Their evolution line would be based around Salamandra (and more specifically, around a Salamander)

Neo Aqua Madoor: I don't know what creature Neo Aqua Madoor would exactly be (probably similar to a Qalupalik from Inuit Folklore), but their evolution line would be based around Aqua Madoor (obviously)

If you guys either have better suggestions, please comment them

He's allowed to use generic equipment from the spinoffs (like his Tennis Racket or a Party dice, for example), but it should be done in moderation. He should mostly be using things that he actually owns and makes him unique

In addition, no generic power ups, enemies, or obstacles. Again, it has to be tied to him specifically to some capacity, even if it's something he only used once in a game cover

The challenge is simple; I'm going to give every single character in Ultimate an Echo Fighter. Here are the conditions:

• I'm not allowed to upgrade alts into Echoes or vise versa; I have to give each character a unique Echo that's unaffiliated with them from the start. By extention, I will try to also avoid characters that are already built onto other characters (Whether they're part of a Final Smash, a Victory Animation, or even a taunt), because I don't want to have another Robin/Chrom situation

• I have to choose characters that are different enough from the originals, even if it boils down to either "robotic/dark counterparts", or "the same character, but brainwashed". I'm not going to choose characters that are basically just the same as other characters, but with a minor trait (Ahem Ahem Dry Bowser fans Ahem Ahem); They have to be different enough. However, I might have to do that as a last resort if I literally can't find anyone else, but that only comes in extreme cases

• I have to choose characters that are not already Assist Trophies. I might excuse reusing Pokeball Pokemon, since they're species, but I'll still try to give them original picks

• I'm allowed to choose characters from other series, but I'll still try my best to give them Echoes from their home series

• Some characters might be given 2 Echoes instead of one. That's me either thinking that one of them might be too good to not to mention outside of the "honorable mentions" list, or it's just me just covering my bases if I think that one of the options might not work

_______________________________________________________

• An ✔️ means that the character already has an Echo and will be left intact

• An 😬 means that the character technically passes under my established rules but still feels a little ichy

• An ❌️ means that I had to break one/multiple of my established rules for the sake of the challenge (This one is more reserved for extreme circumstances and won't be a reoccuring pattern moving forward)
