While I think the whole "X has too many, y needs more" thing is bogus, the main reason I think it would be fine is because I believe certain series (mostly F-Zero, Pikmin, Kid Icarus and obviously 3rd Parties) do just fine representing the series with just a few characters. I do agree some love would be nice for all the veteran series (Metroid and Yoshi in particular), as well as the series with a lot to offer (even with 6+ reps and Pokeballs/stages, not even half of the Pokemon franchise is "covered").
Plus, it's not like that's the main reason certain characters would receive cuts. It's mostly just time constraints/Sakurai not liking how the character's would play (looking at that article of his take on Fighting Game characters). Speaking of other games, Street Fighter usually does well despite having dozens of Shoto clones. Same goes for Mario-spin-off games having craploads of alternate formes for main characters (Babies, Metal Mario/Dry Bowser, etc.) rather than reaching out all the time for characters that represent certain sub-series (Rosalina was all Galaxy reps needed, IMO. They did not have to go and add Queen Honey Bee in Mario Kart 7).
That all said, it's just opinions at the end of the day. I'm not gonna hate others for having different ones, nor am I going to go out of my way to "not want/hope they don't get in" for other characters just because I don't like them. I wouldn't mind Slippy, nor would I hate him for having priority over Krystal.
That all said, I'm pretty sure people already have plenty of reasons to hate Slippy.
