Pokemon an Zelda kinda did if you count PT as three and Zelda as two. Unless you count Yoshi/Wario/DK as Mario in which case nothing will surpass it.

It's not like every match has to be some uber-fast Fox ditto.
But on the character select screen Pokémon has never had more slots than Mario. Pokémon Trainer is one character. Even in the Brawl Dojo where Sheik and ZSS were counted separately, Pokémon Trainer was counted as one entry.

You do realize this
Came out last year, mewtwo was the first pokemon shown that revealed the existence of Mega Evolutions, he was a pokemon that could be caught in the newest game X and Y over a lot of other classic legendary pokemon. Mewtwo was also the final battle of Pokemon Origins an anime special that was released in Fall of 2013. Mewtwo is more relevant now then he was when he was added to Melee.
Ive never seen this posted before Sakurais Microman figure poses compared to the final animations in Brawl.
This is really cool.
Yes, I do realize that, and no I don't think it makes a lick of a difference. IF there's a 5th pokemon, it's going to either be someone new, or Jigglypuff.

Sakurai counts it as 6 and really his opinion is gospel when it comes to Smash Bros. Same way Mii Fighters has only 1 slot on the website but Sakurai has stated they count as 3 fighters IE the same way Pokemon Trainer counted as 3 separate fighters.

probably, current 3DS/Wii U ratio means Pokemon is bringing the $$$

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Its going to be mewtwo and jigglypuff
Who would be more fitting than Mewtwo?
That did happen, ... the crowd however went mild.
I had mentioned this before, mega mewtwo didn't exactly rumble anything. Mega everyone the fuck else, did however.

^ Right. Watch Digital Event in UK. It had subtitle that would claimed that Mii are counted as separate due to three move sets.
I don't think me and you were on the same gaming forum at the time....Newtwo definitely sparked some hype
Besides that's hardly relevant. His inclusion would have been decided on before they even revealed it.

...yes I agree, but Pokemon could very easily have a 6th rep in this version of Smash Bros especially if this game is likely to have 50ish characters in it. Sakurai was able to fit 6 unique movesets for Pokemon into Brawl and was apparently planning a 7th with Mewtwo which only got cut due to time and Sonic. Why is it so hard to imagine a game an ever larger roster can't have that many Pokemon characters?

So the lead animator of Skullgirls drew what it would be like to have a fatal frame character in smash.
I LOOOOOVE IT~
For several obvious reasons
This whole # of reps thing does make it odd if Zelda gets a newcomer. We're already at 5 presuming that Ganondorf is returning so any newcomers will give us 6 characters. That's more than Pokémon (presuming that Jigglypuff is the only unrevealed Pokémon) and Mario (excluding Yoshi and Wario due to their different franchise icons in Smash).
Mega Mewtwo Y sparked some god damn hype.
We don't need a third Captain Falcon clone.
Actually, on second thought...I'd love a third Captain Falcon clone.
Didn't we almost get plusle and minun in brawl?

I think of all the realistic possible newcomers, I want Mewtwo more than any other.
Edit- same goes for if you consider him a veteran, now that Captain Falcon is confirmed.

Possibly. It's not like 100% set in stone, but it's pretty damn likely that Pra Mai was Plusle and Minun.
eh I read a bunch of people saying their childhood was ruined. Also, I woudn't really put any neogaf reactions, epically involving pokemon, sonic, kh and myriad of other things to highly. Because the represent an extreme minoriety or more often than not way out of touch with whatever they are talking about. See neogaf/4chan/smashboards reacts to lucario vs how much lucario's much is worth how much he is used in game and how much shit he is in due to his popularity.
Mega Mewtwo didn't shake the most feathers, hell I would argue that the reason It shook any was because it was a mystery. When people that their favorite pokemon mght be able to do it too, the focus was on their pokemon rather than mewtwo. Espically charizard and lucario and stuff.
As far as it being decided, the pokemon peeps most of the time have a good idea on what is and what isn't going to be popular, when they are wrong they are quick to go with what the people want. That being considered, mewtwo could be in the game. My opinion? Nah bruh.

Would he count as a veteran? And oldcomer?

If Pokemon gets another newcomer Blaziken has to be the most likely candidate, he's by far the most popular and had Smash Bros not been a GC launch title and had come out a year or two later he would have for sure been in Melee.

I'd like a human rep that actually takes part in battle. I know it goes against the whole Pokemon concept but it's not like the series is lacking for badasses who could hold their own at this point

PT was three characters, in Sakurai's eyes and most everyone else's. So Pokemon having 6 reps in Smash 4 would be the same as in Brawl. I see that being the case, with Jiggs and Mewtwo being the ones making it in. My only question would be if Mewtwo is treated as a newcomer by getting a video. I mean, it would be the only case of a previously cut character returning, so I imagine it'd be met with fanfare.

Sakurai already included the most bad ass human in all of Pokemon (Red) in Brawl, and all he did was stand in the back ground and switch out pokemon.
The main series absolutely never features Pokemon attacking humans, with an exception in Pokemon B2W2.
The only human I could ever see being in, aside from Pokemon Trainer, would be N.

Mewtwo could be an alt for Lucario.

Since we're at the halfway point, I thought I'd remind everyone that the Thread Title Suggestion Box is still open. Quote to reveal link.

What about the Aura Guy from the Lucario Movie, or the pokemon rangers... or Sabrina from the Indigo League.

I still believe that Pokemon Trainer would make a cameo in Charizard's final smash.

I dunno. I always imagine him as secret character or DLC character.

This is amazing haha

Captain Falcon was just revealed on Monday, you know.
PT gonna get Chrom'd.

I mean they haven't revealed Wario yet, or Ganondorf, or Meta Knight so I'm not sure what your point is there. Heck Jigglypuff hasn't been revealed yet so really your point makes no sense.
Besides it's not like Mewtwo was known before Melee's launch
seriously..the hype is real. If I had time I'd probably still talking about Lucina/Robin!
Blaziken could conceivably be a Captain Falcon (or Mii Brawler) clone and it wouldn't feel out of place. Like Chrom, it just seems like a really uninteresting Smash Bros. character regardless of its popularity.
I still maintain that the previously-planned Plusle & Minun would be the best potential Ruby/Sapphire representative. They'd be a relatively simple addition (in that they'd use Pikachu as a base), but they'd also offer a unique gameplay mechanic by emulating Double Battles (back-and-forth fighting rather than Ice Climbers' simultaneous attacking). Their down special would probably be Helping Hand, which would power up the next Pokémon's attack.
