"Would pocket battleships be battleships or heavy cruisers?"

I've been wondering about this for about a year now. I think they'd make the most sense as "really good" cruisers, as they'd be crap if classified as full-fleged F/BBs. As far as Kancolle game mechanics go, which is the most important thing to consider here? A pocket BB would absolutely give Pudding a run for her money in terms of firepower, and maybe luck, if we're talking about Deutschland. Graf Spee would be cool too, but we're still in the stage of foreign ships being guest stars, so I'm with ya, my money would be on Deutschland.

A pocket BB or Scharnhorst, which will come first? Might be years for all we know...
