Without getting rips, what point will they serve outside of lore? You actually got a fair point.... not really sure why I'm plugging em in now that I think about it...

The best explanation I got is that all the bonus characters are basically characters I really wanted to get in and even had source lists for, but were cut for whatever reason. Some of them have major lore presence, such as being the host, and some don't. My idea for the BCs not very important to the lore was just to give you guys some additional stuff while I finalize everything. But thinking about it now, it's not that necessary.

So for a short and sweet response... the same reason why I ultimately made this tourney. Because creating ideas is fun.

Makes sense. Even without rips, I feel bonus characters can still work, with roles like being the host (already discussed), doing interviews (Meowth in KFAD), and there’s probably more interesting bonus character role ideas I’m not thinking of right now.
