I don't think any new Pokémon will be added on-disc. Jigglypuff will return and then we have 5 characters. Unless Pokémon gets a sixth rep which means that Mario also has to get a sixth rep.
 * Mewtwo
 * Sceptile (Because of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Saphire,literally HOENN CONFIRMED)
 * King K.Rool (I see no reason to him not appear in the game)
 * Pac-Man(Most Likely choice as Namco Character)
 * Chibi-Robo
 * Chrom (Replacing Ike like Ike replaced Roy)
 * Krystal (I don't think Wolf will return)
 * Lloyd Irving (Why not?)
 * Excitebiker (He was planned in Melee and was appeared as Assist Trophy in Brawl,it's time for his promotion as playable fighter)

Maybe they will do DLC this time and have Mewtwo on there. And I can't really see any playable Hoenn Pokémon except Sceptile (or preferably Grovyle).

Pac-Man and Lloyd Irving can't both be in. They are both from Namco and there is a 1 character per franchise rule.

And there are better choices than Excitebiker. Meowth was planned for SSB and he also didn't make it in.
