By that logic, the Kongs and Yoshi are also Mario characters, which brings our Mario character count to eight. Plus, it hasn't officially been stated that there's a limit for characters from one franchise. I can see Mewtwo AND Jigglypuff returning, but, realistically, if any one of them is appearing, it will/should be Jigglypuff. I didn't play much of Melee, so I don't know what the fuss about Mewtwo is. Arguably, the second most well-known Pokemon is either Mewtwo, Charizard, or Jigglypuff, and since we have one of those three (and we're due for a second in the form of Jigglypuff anyway), we can deal. Except for the fact that the Kongs represent the Donkey Kong Country series, as their symbols are the "DK" icon, while Yoshi represents the Yoshi games, as his symbol is a "Yoshi egg" icon. So, they aren't technically the Mario characters either, as they do not have the "Mushroom" icon either.
