The 1 Pokemon character I want the most.
CHance: 10%. Her only chance is if they want to promote Gen 4 remakes. Why she isn;t a zero though is that she is BY FAR the most popular champion that wasn't a player character. Cynthia has a lot of love in the pokemon community and the games for the longest time.
Now, I have been seeing some people say, oh, she'll just be like the pokemon trainer, but I LONG ago thought of a very unique playstyle for her. She fights on the feild, but almost all her attacks involve her pokemon. As a champion, I imagine that she is so skilled that she can easily be on the field with her pokemon and command them much better then any other trainer. She would use all 6 of her main pokemon, replacing lucario of course. Garchomp, Milotic, Spiritomb, Togekiss, Roserade, and Glaceon. I even had a friend of mine draw some art of her way back for Smash 4 before Lucario was shown to return. So replace Lucario with Milotic.
As for a moveset, I made one ages ago on the Cynthia for smash page. Not sure if I should link it here, but I here is the basic idea. All her moves except her jab, involve her calling out one of her 6 pokemon to do the attack. Some examples: her normal combo two slaps from Cynthia, then a third hit from Milotic. Cynthia slaps the foe, then back hands them, then she spins away, snapping her fingers as Milotic appears coiled around Cynthina and does a slight tail slap . Her dash attack is calling out Garchomp, who does dragon rush. Down Air is Spiritomb pulmeting down while Cynthia holds on to him. Up Smash in Roserade using Energy Ball to make a ball of energy above her to damage foes.
Cynthia can shield during any of these moves, to cancle her own animation during it, like how Incineroar can stop his poses. This doesn't stop the pokemon's attack(Garchomp will still do his dragon rush even if Cynthia jumps off early), and cynthia can use any attack that doesn't involve the pokemon still out of the pokemon(like if garchomp is still doing the dash attack, CYnthia cannot forward smash to do Garchomps Giga Impact, but she can use any other pokemons attacks for a combo. Also, I'll drop her B attacks below as well.
Standard B: Destiny Bond. Spiritomb appears in front of Cynthia and glows for a moment. If any attack hits it, The foe glows, Spiritomb returns to it’s pokeball, and the foe is bonded to Cynthia for 10 seconds. Any damage Cynthia takes during that time, the foe will also receive. If Destiny bond misses, Spiritomb sits on the ground for a few moments before returning, locking Cynthia out of a few attacks like her grabs and Down Aerial.
Side B: Surf. Milotic appears coiled around Cynthia, and cries out, making a small wave of water flow out in front of Cynthia. It goes the same distance as Ice climbers ice block, but anyone hit by it takes damage and is knocked away.
Up B: Sky Attack. Cynthia jumps onto Togekiss, who flies up about the vertical distance Sonic's Up B goes while glowing. At the peak, Cynthia leaps off and Togekiss zooms down in the direction you at pointing the analog stick, causing damage and going through anyone in it’s path till Togekiss hits a floor, wall, or goes OB. Hitting a floor or wall causing a small blast of energy. When Cynthia leaps off she is free to attack right away. If Togekiss returns before Cynthia hits the ground, she can use this move again.
Down B: Hail. Glaceon appears where Cynthia is standing, and cries out. High above Glaceon (thunder level) a icy cloud appears and makes it start to Hail around Glaceon. Glaceon vanishes 1 second after starting the attack, and Cynthia can move around and attack with any move that doesn’t use Glaceon during this attack(during that 1 second glaceon is out). 10 pieces of hall fall per second, and does little damage and stun in each hit. If a foe is caught in the attack, they will get hit the will slowly be pushed out, only someone trapped in a corner and under the effect of a supper mushroom will be hit by every attack. You cannot use this move again till the current hail finishes.
Sorry for the long post here, but really I have been brainstorming Cynthia for smash for years., and just wanted to show how she can be completely different from another pokemon trainer.
Want: 100% After reading the above, how can it not be 100%? I know her chances are very low but damn it I want her so bad.

getting into Brawl, but we got Lucario from Gen 4,the most recent gen at the time, along with him. We currently have no Gen 8 rep and I expect that to take priority anyday over promoting some remakes that may or may not exist when we already have a Sinnoh mon on the roster.
