I still think Lucas is returning because of the vast amount of representation of Mother 3 and not Earthbound in Brawl. It would be kind of foolish to overly represent Lucas and his game and then just pretend it never happened in the next game. If Porky does replace Lucas though, they would most likely use his dapper spider-pig mecha in Mother 3 instead of his not dapper, spider-not-pig mecha in Earthbound because that is a very obscure machine that no one really cares about. Using a character from Mother 3 replacing the main character of Mother 3 would not be the best idea in mind.
