Thank you. So let me just post my two cents regarding vet DLC.
Firstly, I don't see PKMN Trainer being likely because Sakurai said he wanted to avoid transforming moves, so unless they changed his moveset altogether, it just wouldn't work. That and with Charizard as a playable character, would he just carry Squirtle and Ivysaur? I don't see it. I think fans would prefer to play as Squirtle OR Ivysaur anyways.
Snake might of been a "come in, get out" sort of deal but I could see him returning as DLC. *shrugs* I don't really know what his deal is.
And unless they fixed the issue involving ICs, they're not even relevant. I am not going to even bother backing solo Ice Climber anymore. Too many people hate the idea and I'm sure Sakurai does too.
So in my head, if priority were involved, I think personally Wolf would be the first to be announced, because of the new Star Fox game. And then Young Link, who'd probably be like Roy and enter in randomly. And I guess a Poke-Pack sort of deal with the 'mons, mayhaps.
Assuming they return at all. And I'm sure there's a very large group that would like to see all the vets return. Also in an article somewhere I believe Sakurai mentioned he would like to have everyone return.
I don't usually speculate, but when I do...
