Hitmonchan Punches In!
(This will be a short OP as it's an Echo one so I don't think I have to go too much indepth)
Ever since the concept of Echoes were introduced, a lot of ideas have been thrown around, but one thing that has always been kind of weird is the possibility of cross-series Echoes. While not directly shut down, there is a clear lack of viability for those as characters from completely different games play completely different.
But today, I want to propose an exception, and that is Hitmonchan, also known as the Punching Pokemon.
Additionally, Little Mac in the NES version was 142cm tall, while the Pokedex lists Hitmonchan as 140cm tall, meaning he really is just like the little guy.
As for differences the two could have? Well, aesthetically, they're different enough, but Hitmonchan could bring the Elemental Punches in some of his attacks by simply adding flame, electric and ice effects to certain moves. As for a Final Smash, Hotmonchan would need to keep his size, but outside of that, Close Combat could be finctionally the same as Mac's.

Hitmonchan has one advantage, and that is his whole concept of being a boxer is shared with another existing fighter, that being Little Mac, which means he could be perfectly portrayed even as an Echo Fighter. Between his humanoid proportions and boxer-fighting-style, he can just easily Echo Little Mac without any trouble. Hitmonchan is basically just a boxer, and that simple base concept is what allows him to use Little Mac's moveset so well.ORAS Pokedex said:"Hitmonchan is said to possess the spirit of a boxer who had been working toward a world championship. This Pokémon has an indomitable spirit and will never give up in the face of adversity."
