If that happened though Pokemon would've had like, 7 (8!!! depending on how P&M worked) reps in comparison to Mario which went down to 4. I don't mind it being tied for first, but by far and away having the most reps would've been super awkward in my opinion.
... I do want *both* Jiggs and Mewtwo back in SSB4, even though that'll put it at 6 while Mario's at 5. Guess they could just start counting Yoshi as Mario related?
I said all the cut reps, which would put Mario at 5 with Doc's return (9 counting Yoshi, DK, Wario, Diddy; 10 since Dixie would also be returning), and Zelda at 7 (Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik/Tetra). To be fair, since Pokemon Trainer is essentially 3, this would put Pokemon at having 8 reps (Plusle & Minun don't seem to be transform-types, due to sharing one .pac file). But I don't think it's wrong for them to have one more than Zelda and 2 less than Mario as a whole.
