User blog comment:Quauntonaut/A new character for (insert franchise)/@comment-4696205-20140207022402

I think inserting more Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon will be too much, and I doubt there'll be anymore new entries from Sonic or Sega since Sakurai's focusing on one character per third party companies. So, maybe Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero will have their new entries if possible.

There are also too many Pokemons to choose from as players and I believe Sakurai will only choose the ones that were mentioned the most in every medias, which the anime movies will be mainly. Mewtwo may have its possibilities since it appeared in last year's movie and its Mega Evolution Y was mentioned first, but Zoroark might not participate since its movie debut is too old for now. Blaziken were mentioned by fans' requests but I doubt since Sakurai thinks it's unimportant, which there may be possibilities that it'll appear as an assist type Pokemon from the Pokeball. There also may be possibilities that the Pokemon Trainer will be exchanged from Fire Red/Leaf Green version to someone else, may be Black 2/White 2 version or X/Y version. I think Jigglypuff will survive in the end.
