ProfPeanut, multiquote next time. I could not quote most of your message.

Toon Zelda is no bad choice, and Tetra is infinitely awesome.
Tetra is fine. Toon Zelda is pretty much Zelda. She barely did a thing. Too many unneeded reps.
Pretty sure StarFox and Donkey Kong were the most iconic Rare characters. Just saying. Banjo-Kazooie had two games, and one playable appearance with everyone else so far.(Diddy Kong Racing DS not counted) I'll take a Nintendo-only character first. Then we'll talk about Third Party characters that decided to leave Nintendo.
Ninten has squat offensive PK attacks.
Tell that to Sakurai. Give a full non-clone moveset. Otherwise, it'll happen. Same body type, nearly all the same PSI moves exist in the game too.
With who? None of the other main Fire Emblem characters are any more deserving than each other, that's the problem. Only Ike and Marth have appeared in more than one game.
Roy, Hector, Lyn, Chrome. There's probably more. "Only appeared in one game" isn't a good enough reason. Ice Climbers, remember?
Define dealable. Pichu is awesome and Lucario is unique. 3rd Gen was forgettable, and Victini I'd consider.
Too many Pokemon. Absolutely nothing new. Pichu is the Scrappy of Melee. Lucario was shoehorned in, despite having a Generation before it. They don't need that many slots whatsoever. Especially if there's nothing new. 3rd Gen was NOT forgettable. It didn't have four seasons and more than one movie for no reason. Likewise, it started the trend of many gameplay annoyances. EV's started there. Don't diss 3rd Gen.
You asked an MYMer that question. Challenge accepted.
Alternatively, this is a fine example, though not exactly to my preferences.
That works.
And why? Wario and Yoshi side characters suffer the same problem as Fire EMblem characters in that they're no more worthy of a character slot than each other. Kamek pretty much loses a slot to Bowser Jr.
Except they don't. Possibly Yoshi, but WarioWare and Wario Land have a plethora of characters. Especially Ware. Bowser Jr. over Kamek? No thanks. I'll take the character that has no chance of being a clone first. Likewise, no, Bowser Jr. needs his Shadow Mario persona to actually be original. We don't need a heavy chance of being a clone.

I don't want Shadow Mario. Jr. is fine as a stand alone fighter
Let's avoid obvious clones, shall we?

Getting back to the Zelda thing: The Bombs and Boomerang are Link's only GOOD specials so far. His Spin Attack originated in Zelda 3, as in A Link to the Past, not Zelda II. Please do research before stating incorrect stuff. It's also just as iconic as the Bow. The Bow is really the only one that could be changed out, as it's the only special that really just blows. The rest have their uses. Save this one.
