I don't like the idea ... at all.

If any skylanders are going to be amiibos, it won't be classic spyro, it'll be skylanders spyro. Classic spyro hasn't seen the light of day since the mid 2000s, he won't be seeing it now, with this. Also, that letter is the saddest I've ever seen. Spyro wasn't even spelled correctly.

I would love to see a Spyro amiibo, but only if it's original Spyro.

Gameboy, while I think we can all agree that it'd be pretty cool, it's not going to happen. And if it did, they'd pick Skylanders Spyro. Do you know why they picked the classic design for Mega Man? Not just because it was the "classic," but because it was the most recognizable, therefore people see it, recognize it, and want to throw money at it. Who's the most recognizable Spyro today? Skylanders Spyro. Therefore, of course they'd pick that one. Also, the designs of Pac-Man and Mario are kinda bad examples, as Pac-Man and Mario have really only had those designs. They've never really changed. But this is irrelevant, because the chances of Spyro's inclusion in the game are extremely slim. I mean, the only newcomer DLC so far has been Ryu, and his inclusion makes sense. But Spyro has always been on Playstation, until Skylanders, where he was on every console, but not quite the main focus of the series. Bowser and DK as Skylanders makes sense, because Skylanders is a kid's game that doesn't really concern the concepts of balance in the game. They just kinda introduce new characters whenever they want regardless of how well they fit. Smash, while open for all audiences, also concerns a competitive audience, so much more work goes into creating a character, hence why Nintendo is so picky about third-party characters in Smash. What are the upsides of putting a third-party character in Smash? That gives no advertisement to your own games. The only reason to is to fulfill what fans want, hence the ballot. A poll similar to the ballot found Spyro to be extremely low on the list of wanted Smash characters, so that couldn't be it. Another reason could be that they were paid by the developer, but I've never heard of this happening.

Sorry, but yeah, all of what Flapjacks said, plus:

1. Spyro is already a character in Skylanders. Adding classic Spyro would mean there would have to be two Spyros... which doesn't really make any sense. (And yes I know there was that one Sonic game, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea or makes sense. tongue )
2. Didn't DK and Bowser get added partially because they're some of the less popular amiibos?
3. Online petitions never do anything.

There's just no way it would happen. Mostly because not enough people care about Spyro anymore.

(Also, I'm moving this to Spyro Chat.)

We also have to keep in mind that Skylanders could use some help from Nintendo to stand out against Disney Infinity, hence why you see Nintendo characters getting added to Skylanders. Does Nintendo need any help from Skylanders? Absolutely not.

Could it happen yeah? Spyro would fit right Super Smash Bros. It would be classic Spyro and he could use his flame, ram, and flight moves as specials as well as incorporate moves based of what he do for Up,Forward, and Down Tilts. Plus Up, Side, and Down Smashes. And aerials. The Amiibo would look cool. But I doubt it would happen. Like everyone said it would be Skylanders Spyro if this were to happen.
