Something that was featured in Melee and Brawl was the addition of characters who could transform, like Zelda into Sheik, Samus into Zero Suit Samus, and Pokémon Trainer being able to swap between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard.
In Smash 4, however, all transformations were cut. Sheik and Zero Suit Samus became their own playable characters and Pokémon Trainer was removed completely.
With Smash Ultimate bringing back every past fighter, Pokémon Trainer returned and brought with it transformations once again.
I personally really enjoy the dynamic of a three-in-one featuring a light, medium, and heavy fighter and would like to see a similar weight combination in a transforming character in the future.
What about you? Is a transforming character a good and unique idea for Smash or should the likes of Pokémon Trainer remain a relic of the past?
