Says me. What you gonna do about it?
Sanctity is a dimension that Sakurai's using to make character decisions?
I agree with several others on here recently. Charizard has been a popular pokemon since the early days and was given renewed life with his special Mega Evolution in X and Y. Greninja makes sense as the rep for the newest generation, giving us a spread of historically classic characters and a modern fan favorite. There is some sense in adding a grass starter, but not if none of them are particularly popular and I hardly think it would be considered a requirement for a fighting game roster.
I want to see said signs

good thing Sakurai's decisions aren't based on whatever arbitrary factors you make up

Given the gen 5 options, Snivy isn't a bad choice.
Grass starters have overall the best basic forms so a lot of people, probably. Too bad their final forms tend to be shit.

It's very possible that Game Freak is actively working on remakes and might want a Gen III rep in for advertisement purposes.
Perhaps more importantly in this case, Sceptile is really the only viable grass starter we could have. Venusaur would be redundant with Charizard, Meganium would be awkward, Torterra could work but would be a bit redundant with Lucario as the Gen IV rep, Serperior would be awkward and is effectively deconfirmed by Snivy probably being a Poke Ball Pokemon, and Chesnaught would be redundant with Greninja.
If they want a grass starter to even out the trio - and I hope they do because it would be just terrible if they didn't - Sceptile is pretty much the only choice.

Me, every generation ever. What's it to ya?
Coil leaf blade and contrary snivy da best. Cespin line is also da best...competitive withstanding. Grovyle is awesome while sceptile is...eh.... Rest of the grass starters do nothing for me.

best grass final form doesn't make it the best starter period, you know

Everyone expects a Gen 3 remake soon. Also, for all we know Sceptile has a Mega evolution in the works. Plus I think most people consider Sceptile the best 'fit' for smash as far as grass starters go.
X and Y reference literally every generation (most moreso than Gen III), and the guy who makes the facilities comment later goes on to state that he wasn't speaking of any past region.
It's fine to want remakes of games, but the zealousness Hoenn fans show for the certainty on something that hasn't at all been alluded to happening is one of the more bizarre things about the current Pokemon fandom.
The last time everyone was expecting a Gen 3 remake we got Black and White version 2.

Good thing Serperior is both~
Disgusting.
Torterra is always the best. Even Venusaur doesn't compare.
(Now give Torterra a bandaid for that Ice problem Gamefreak)

The only correct answer.
Oh man it would be interesting to see how it plays out as a character in smash.

For all we know they could be involved in X and Y version 2
Mega [REDACTED] for X2, Mega [REDACTED] for Y2
Still an odd choice for an event Mega-evolution considering all the other alternatives.

Which is really weird because Dive and all that other evidence. Personally, it is stretching it, but it's a pretty safe bet at the same time. With two remakes under their belt already, you would think GF would remake Gen 3 eventually.
Without a Gen 3 remake/Mega evolution for Sceptile, his inclusion makes almost no sense. If for some reason there is a Gen 3 remake in the works with a Mega Sceptile, (and we know GF/Nintendo picks the pokemon for SSB) it makes perfect sense. But that's a lot of assumptions and I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Stop using anime for references guys. Ivysaur makes as much sense as Squirtle and Charizard in Trainer's lineup back in Brawl.
So... how about those Digimon?

It might not even be an event, since they just like pulling the two out of the vault fairly often. Still popular with kids, I suppose.
I'm just saying, it seemed more likely that the next region we're hitting up is something brand new if we're going based on "hints" in the game.
Because other than glorious Chesnaught it's the only other Bipedal Grass Starter.
They're in Pokeballs.
No, since the Pokeball was what inspired assist trophies in the first place.
Gotta get those stage hazards in somewhere
I seriously cannot believe how hard it is to find Saffron City hazards

bipedal isn't a requirement
I doubt it since the one thing Sakurai has been doing is forcing Smash characters to walk up straight (Browser, Yoshi, etc.) If we're getting another Smash Pokemon character, it's going to be Blaizken, Mewtwo or another really popular Pokemon, that can stand on two feet.
My favorite is Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
As proof with Ivysaur

If we're talking Gen 3, the only grass type we need is Ludicolo.
More. All assets associated with character moves are required to be in RAM to be accessed quickly enough for gameplay. Transformations swapped out the current character entirely and loaded the new one from the disc on demand. There's a decent chance that they were axed this time around solely because HD assets have ballooned the data size of a single character past the point where they can be efficiently loaded mid-match.
