This is Part of what Zony514 wrote: "According to the game release calendar which I have found at the Japanese Nintendo website, 2 new games would be released in February, which is the Donkey Kong game and the Fossil Fighters. For the Donkey Kong game, we know that there are three characters other than Donkey Kong, which is Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky. In my opinion, I would think Diddy will return to Smash Bros. I could hardly say Cranky would join because he's too old to become a fighter, and I think Dixie won't fit since she may become Diddy's copy. For Fossil Fighters...I might think people don't know much about this game or how popular it is, but in Japan, it may be rare, but its pretty much popular since this game has a similarity of Pokemon. In my opinion, I think a main character (a.k.a. Fossil Fighter) will appear as a new character, and what this guy will do is use the same technique like Pokemon Trainer did on Brawl, which is standing in the background and using 3 dinosaurs in battle."

This is My Response: A "Fossil Fighters" Character(s) appearing in SSB Wii U/3DS? Wow, that's a very interesting thought, even more so that they may have the Pokemon Trainer's fighting style, since I am a "Fossil Fighters" fan. If so, they might use the "three different fighters" style that the Pokemon trainer had, with their corresponding Vivosaurs; V-Raptor (The small-sized and swift fighter), Tricera (the medium-sized, all-around fighter), and, of course, T-Rex (the heavyweight fighter). As regards their Final Smash, It might be all three Vivosaurs appearing at once to unleash their respective Team Skills from Fossil Fighters (T-Rex's "Tyrant's Breath," V-Raptor's "Cyclonic Breath," and Tricera's "Tri-Torpedo" [a move in which Tricera chases down any players that dodge this Final Smash]).

Now, considering that it's ONLY a possibility that the FF characters I mentioned might replace the Pokemon Trainer and considering that Sakurai doesn't want any clones in the next game, I want everyone who reads this to keep these things I wrote down in mind; 1) This is ONLY a thought/possibility as to what might happen, namely, the Pokemon Trainer not returning and being replaced by the Vivosaurs. This thought is ABSOLUTELY NOT to burst anyone's bubble or to otherwise offend anyone, and it is NOT to say I don't think they should return (in fact, I enjoy playing as the Pokemon Trainer [and, not to brag, but some people have said they don't know many people that play well as the Pokemon Trainer]). 2) This thought is also considering Sakurai doesn't want any clones in the upcoming game, and that the Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon are not very high on the tier list as of yet. (Currently they're at the E-tier, ranked 29 out of 38, although to be honest, I don't think that characters returning or not necessarily has to do with characters' placements on the tier list.) 3) As regards the Pokemon Trainer being replaced or otherwise removed from the game, I COULD be wrong (and that part I cannot stress enough). This is also considering I heard somewhere that not all of SSBB's characters will return to SSB Wii U/3DS. 4) These thoughts are also ONLY IF what Zony514 said is correct, as regards characters appearing in the game according to game releases in Japan or the U.S. If so, here's hoping to the Fossil Fighter!
