::Generally I don't think comparing a pallet swap to a character from a different franchise is a good idea, and the fact that Sonic is a 3rd party franchise while Pokémon is a 1st (2nd?) party franchise makes it even more "farfetch'd!" (I'm sorry I'm a punmaker thanks to watching chuggaaconroy). Even the blue Mewtwo being Giygas example is less of a stretch than this, especially considering how Ape inc, who worked on EarthBound, was renamed Creatures inc and went on to work on Pokémon. | ::Generally I don't think comparing a pallet swap to a character from a different franchise is a good idea, and the fact that Sonic is a 3rd party franchise while Pokémon is a 1st (2nd?) party franchise makes it even more "farfetch'd!"

::Sometimes though there are cases where a character's alt better resembles a character from a different franchise, but because it's a different franchise it's better to put a reference to something from their home series as the inspiration instead. One example I can give is I once heared someone say years ago that Boweser's blue alt in SSB4 resembles Feraligatr (and I do agree it does), but since he's a Mario character False Bowser is more plausible and should be the put as the inspiration, and so the same should be done about Incineroar's purple alt although Purrloin is still kinda iffy. In my opinion outside of obvious cases like Jigglypuff wearing Peach's crown and Kirby's sleep hat, we should have the mindset of "If it doesn't resemble something from their home series, it's more than likely a Smash original".

== Sonic's purple alt == | |||
After looking at [[Special:Diff/1390482|this edit]] questioning its resemblance to NiGHTS, I wondered what else it could resemble that would seem more reasonable. Due to a similar but more fitting colour scheme, I've concluded that it shares a better resemblance to [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Blaze_the_Cat Blaze the Cat]. The pink in Blaze's shoes (whenever they're not depicted as a redder shade) is more vibrant than NiGHTS' lighter tone, so it bears a stronger resemblance to the alt's shoe colour. Her dress's more subdued purple also matches the alt's purple fur better than NiGHTS'; it's nearly identical in ''Smash 4'', while the fainter colour in ''Ultimate'' makes it even more distant from NiGHTS' purple. | |||
While it could reference ''NiGHTS'', especially with their marginally better connection than with most other SEGA universes, the more fitting colours and consistency with the other alts' in-universe references makes me believe that a reference to Blaze is a bit more plausible.
