Grovyle from PMD is my most wanted Pokémon
However As for another trainer I would like to have Blue with :001::005::009:
As for Echo fighters for our current Pokémon I would like to have :026:, Mega Charizard X, Shadow Mewtwo
The easiest Pokémon to develop should be included as well :132:
As for other the rest I would be happy with :133::245:, Regigigas, Diancie, Deoxys, Rotom, Genesect, Magearna
what you talking about we have 90+ dittos on the roster already

Bit of a shame that gen 9 has a very good chance of missing the boat when it comes to getting a rep in Smash. It's probably obvious that I love Meowscarada, and it would make such a great rep for the gen! A lot of people want there to be a Grass type that isn't part of Pokemon Trainer so it stands on its own, and Meowscarada would be so fun as a fast-and-agile fighter with powerful flower bombs.

Alternatively, I wonder if they'd wanna do Miraidon and Koraidon in a similar vein to Mythra and Pyra. That would also make for a great way to rep the gen!

You know who sounds fun? Donphan. Spinny spinny spinny! I guess we do have a very spin-heavy character in Sonic, and I love Sonic... but a slow, heavyweight take on a spin-heavy moveset with all the Ground moves Donphan could provide sounds really fun to me. Since Rapid Spin now boosts speed, maybe it could even have the gimmick that it gains temporary speed boosts upon using Rapid Spin.

On the topic of heavyweights, most of my Pokemon suggestions are more heavy or right in between. Like Mario, Fox and DK, I prefer hard hitters over characters that feel stealthy, weak and fragile.

Donphan would definitely hit like Dillon. Its wheeling would be a joy.

Speaking of heavyweights, Tyranitar has also piqued my interest. Not only do we get our first pseudo-legendary, we can essentially play as a Godzilla expy. I feel like they could also have a special gimmick that revolves around its Sand Stream ability.

What about Dracovish? For Smash, do you think that Dracovish could be a good playable character for Smash or do you think it will feel or look any out of place? Why?

After given some thought, I've decided on my Pokemon Smash roster restricted to 12. I'm going off sheer uniqueness and creativity.

Magmar, Arcanine, Mr. Mime, Miltank, Aipom, Sudowoodo, Heracross, Scraggy, Cofagrigus, Mimikyu, Dhelmise, Flamigo.

Ngl, I squeezed a couple of my personal wants in while still perfectly neutral to the overall roster. Miltank would be all around fun to fight. Magmar's Recovery would work similarly to Dedede's. Extreme Speed would be Arcanine's Recovery. Sudoowodo would be the partially flexible fighter. Aipom's Recovery would work similarly to Ice Climbers. Scraggy would focus on mostly headbutting attacks. Dhelmise Recovery would imitate Link's hook shot. I'm also considering Mawile, Lickitung and Magearna as additions if I go for a Melee roster count.

Do you think that Gyarados might be a good fit for a playable fighter to join Smash?
Its currently difficult to imagine how Gyarados would work. Arbok would be better suited. I want Exeggutor in Smash, but I cannot imagine how it would grab on to any ledge, so burr.

I thought that Arbok wasn’t popular or interesting enough to actually join Smash for a playable fighter. And besides, it should best be an NPC Poké Ball summon, or a fightable NPC common enemy or boss opponent or a collectable NPC trophy.

Gyarados is unworkable for Smash tho. It can be a boss, but playable character wise, I just can't see anything. What you stated about Arbok can easily apply to Gyarados.

We aren't really basing Pokemon off of popularity in this topic, but rather what unique play styles they would bring that would make them innovating.

Speaking of most wanted pokemon, I really want to see:
1. Garchomp - look at him, he is literally a pseudo-legendary pokemon and he has a lot of moveset potential (Like he would use dragon & ground type moves). Heck, his final smash would turn itself into Mega Garchomp and his moveset would be buffed for while. Also his design is great and he would be mid-heavyweight all around fighter (just like in Pokemon Unite).
(Oh, he would be also nowhere tall as Samus/Zero Suit Samus and he would the second tallest pokemon in the game)
2. Skeledirge - Another quadrupedal fighter and he would bring a lot of fire-type moves in the game. Plus we get another crocodile fighter after K. Rool. Also his singing skills would appear as one of special moves in his moveset.
3. Sceptile - He totally makes sense and a gen 3 rep in smash would be somewhat awesome idea. Also he would use a lot of grass type moves and his body type would be similar to Yoshi's due to being both a dinosaur-like creatures. Eat your heart out, Greninja.

I've got a Pokemon in mind; Zoroark!
Currently there are no Pokemon fighters that originated from Generation 5 so I'd reckon I go with Zoroark as it's a popular Pokemon not just in general, but alongside its pre-evolved form being the first Pokemon of their generation to be revealed with the movie that features both of and the three Generation 2 legendary Pokemon. Another note on why I chose Zoroark is its Illusion ability, it can only be activated once by activating any taunt button per battle and it lasts for 30 seconds with 1.25x damage multiplier.

I love Buzzwole o_o This guy has really won my heart. And I'm absolutely devastated I misjudged him at one point. He's an amazing Pokemon with a beaming personally and I would've loved his play style in Smash. Give him Power Up Punch priority and Leech Life as a slow hard hitter. If not a playable role, he'd make for a cool and interesting boss.

Additional Pokémon
Hattena: She would be fun to play as, she has great usage of psychic attacks and teleporting recovery and she is so cute
Overquil: A Pufferfish that’s very spiky and has both dark and poison attacks would be fun, also we get a Legends: Arceus rep
Tinkaton: She would be fun to play as, and she is a hammer user, giving her uniqueness to the cast
Scream Tail: If that doesn’t say Jigglypuff Echo, I don’t know what is

I've got a couple of ideas floating around for different Pokemon, but one of my personal favourites would probably be Ogerpon. There's a few different Pokemon out there with the general concept of "change type / state during the match!" but I reckon Ogerpon's unique method of actually showcasing that by quick-changing its masks would be a lot of fun. Plus, it'd showcase its changes by doing things like changing the appearance of its vines, imbuing its cudgeon or its kicks with different elements... and maybe even having unique Final Smashes using Terastalisation, which'd change for each mask!
  • Teal Mask would be activated with its neutral special, Spiky Shield, which'd completely surround Ogerpon in a plant-based shield that protrudes outward from it and momentarily stuns the enemies that it hits with the, uh... spikes. Maybe you could even steal a little element from Horn Leech and have it recover a small amount of health from opponents that it hits? It'd be the fastest but weakest of the bunch, excelling with ground speed and attack speed, but generally being better at poking and some basic strings... though lacking in kill power significantly in order to offset this.

  • Wellspring Mask would be activated with its side special, Bubble Beam, which would be a projectile you can charge by holding - before automatically being fired when released. It'd have multiple bubbles following a larger, "front" one - the larger one momentarily stuns opponents to let the other, smaller bubbles hit them afterward, before they get launched. The mask itself would be similar to Teal in that it's got great attack speed - in fact, better than Teal's - but lacks a little in terms of movement speed, offsetting this with its exceptional combo potential with water-based attacks. That said, it also lacks in knockback.

  • Hearthflame Mask would be activated with its up special, Flame Wheel, which'd envelop Ogerpon entirely in a wheel of fire before making them rapidly spin - either upward if used in the air, or along the ground like Rollout if used on the ground - multi-hitting and dealing fire damage either way. The mask has probably the highest outright attack power overall, with some attacks gaining fire-based effects that allow it to multi-hit in order to rapidly build up damage. That said, while it's also quite fast, it lacks somewhat in knockback - rewarding aggression.

  • Cornerstone Mask would be activated with its down special, Rock Blast, which would have Ogerpon stamp on the ground to bring up small boulders that'd be flung out from the ground on both sides. This mask would be by far the slowest of the bunch, offset by being heavy and having some passive knockback resistence akin to Bowser's Tough Guy (but to a much lesser extent), but its damage output isn't massive - offset by dealing pretty massive knockback.
I dunno, I just think this'd be neat. I guess there's other Gen IX Pokemon that are either more outright popular in discussion for smash, like Meowscarada, Tinkaton or Gholdengo, but Ogerpon would go pretty hard. To be honest, the only issue I think springs to mind with it is the colour of its body - which I'd just keep as green by default, then have blue, red and grey as alts for more visual clarity between characters.

Nidoking could have represented Poison types. It seems defining enough. It's moveset potential is written all over it
