I mean, aside of character personalization, some pokemons (Chespin, Fennekin and Dedenne) and the possibility to play with the pokemons, I didn't found it too good... mostly the 6th gen pokemons were all either quite ugly or really really weird... all I have to say is Trubbish.

Anyway I think it doesn't really matter what Pokemon from what generation are in Smash, as long as they can have a good Moveset and have a good reason to be in, the only reason people want Sceptile is grass, mega evolution and 3rd generation and that's it. The only move I can think of for him is leaf blade all his other moves are draining and solar powers.

Mewtwo on the other hand has way more reasons to be in and has more viable moves: He has had a recent movie, he can mega evolve, he's already been in Smash, he is wanted SO badly, he is a legendary Pokemon, psychic powers and PSYCHIC POWERS!

His moves in Pokemon consist of ANY Pokemon type, if he were to have new specials he could have anything raining from grass, ghost to ice but here is what I want:

B-retains Shadow Ball

Side B-Psystrike

Up B-retains Teleport

Down B-Dark Pulse (a spacing move that hits around him, however who ever touches Mewtwo while activated gets confused like Disable in Melee) or he could have Barrier as his Down B, but that isnt as cool.

Nice biased argument there, but Sceptile's moveset is very expansive, he can mega-evolve, and he is wanted very badly by other people too. Mewtwo wasn't even popular around the Melee competitive community because of how bad it was. Also, legendary status doesn't matter and there are already characters with psychic powers.

So, want my moveset ideas? I don't care, I'll list them anyways.

Neutral B - Bullet Seed Shoots out a series of seeds, similar to Ivysaur's but horizontal.

Side B - Agility A quick dash forward. Can only be used once in the air.

Up B - Night Slash Does a high jumping slash. Causes helplessness.

Down B - Detect A counter move. Any attacks caught by Detect will be returned at 1.5x power. Frame 4.

All of these moves are learnable by Sceptile by level up, and are all different types. Check here if you don't believe me: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/sceptile

Sceptile's moveset is perfectly varied and viable.

This is not to say I don't think Mewtwo can returmn, it's actually rather likely in my opinion, but don't count other characters out because of Mewtwo's existence.
