I just feel like saying this, I think that Lucario should have a place in brawl, unlockable or not.
Why? Here's a list of reasons:
1: Very popular as of late
2: Fighting type pokémon (steel type as well)
3: Had his own movie
4: Humanoid shape ideal for battling in brawl
5: Knows Aura Ball, ideal projectile move
6: Nintendo promotes him somewhat, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon the ultimate rank is the Lucario rank
7: The Lucario in the movie has telepathy, much like Mewtwo
8: High offence and speed but average defence in the games, this would be good for an even brawl character
9: 4th generation pokémon, would help Nintendo to promote Diamond and Pearl
10: Need I say it? Kick ass design.
So there you have it, I think that this character should be in brawl, and I've actually presented 10 good reasons for him as well. Does anyone agree with me? How about some character ideas of your own? With reasons and all. :)

Woah... You must be some pokemon fanatic...
I agree. He's good enough to be in Brawl... And he might be in it as an unlockable for all we know.

I like Pokémon, but I've never really seen an pokémon as good as Lucario. :)
Since ALL pokémon (bar pikachu) have had to be unlocked in the previous games, Lucario should he make it will likely be unlockable too.
