You're ignoring Smash Bros itself though. She's relevant to Smash Bros because she was one of the first 12, was in Melee and returned yet again in Brawl.
Why are you so focused on the anime? The only element of the Pokemon anime that has appeared in Smash Bros so far is the voice acting for some cuter Pokemon (but not the more feral ones, unlike in the anime) and the design of a Misty trophy in SSBM. They went with a Pokemon Trainer from FireRed rather than Ash for a reason.
I guess it's just my dislike for Jigglypuff then, but whatever. I'm focused on it because it's the reason Jigglypuff was even in Smash in the first place, and I'd say the reason Mewtwo was added as well. The Pokemon series doesn't really have a "villain" besides Team Rocket. Usually the series goes through standard procedure for adding characters: Protagonist, Rival/romance interest, antagonist, extras. Mewtwo was basically a villain of the anime in the first season anyway, plus he's the only actually significant Psychic pokemon, imo. He plays a menacing role in the anime (btw his alt could be that armor Giovanni made him wear and a Deoxys alt,) and in the first movie. He was the "big bad pokemon." Meowth on the other hand is basically the rival to Pikachu. That's why I focus on the anime. The games are represented through the Pokemon Trainer character, the manga gets no recognition unless you want to lump it with the games themselves. The anime is still a really big part and that's why I focus on it. Also whoever says Blaziken is awesome is basically just because of the anime made it look that way, and while I agree that I like blaziken Mewtwo is infinitely better and more significant even when it comes to the Pokemon games.

Jigglypuff is a lot more relevant than Geno just because she's been in every SSB game (you can't say Jigglypuff is irrelevant while championing Geno, that makes no sense). And Geno definitely wasn't the most wanted character for Brawl, that was just a vocal minority.
I'm all for Sigurd, though, but I don't think it would ever happen. If he did make it in, I think they should somehow incorporate his horse - that'd make him more unique than his lance.
I never said Geno was relevant in comparison to Jigglypuff. But for their respective series he's the only other good option along with Bowser junior with a paint brush. Also Geno was definitely the biggest wanted character at least in Japan and a good deal of western fans wanted him as well.

Not even close, Sigurd is a horse character. How does Roy's moveset transition to Sigurd whatsoever? Regardless Roy - despite being a mediocre lord character - holds a pretty decent amount of importance for his setting. He's a pretty solid poster boy for the FE6/FE7 setting aside from Lyndis, and was a key important character at the time of release.
I thought about his horse honestly, but I don't think it'd work too well without being too awkward. Wario and his motorcycle are an example, turning around with it is kind of a hassle. I think he should get his horse as his final smash and then go crazy. The only reason I said give some of Roy's moves to Sigurd is because his normal moves could be used when Sigurd uses Tyrfingl, but then I realized that his moves work much better with Ike. Speaking of which Ike should have a ranged projectile move since he can do ranged attacks with Ragnell in the games. I suggested Lyn or Hector as a representative for the GBA games since they're much more unique than Roy and create better moveset potentials. Roy can be an alt costume I see no point in bringing him back considering he was only advertisement the first time around.
I've thought about Takamaru's inclusion and honestly I would definitely want him as a PC I think in the end he's better just being an assist trophy. But hey if we can get him as PC with a good moveset without having to sacrifice somebody better for the spot then go ahead.
As for the WTF? character SSB4 it has to be Sukapon, I swear to god if it's anybody else I'll rage until the end of time. The fact that he wasn't even an assist trophy in brawl is outrageous. He already basically has a moveset and coming up with more moves would be easy if they just use moves from other characters in his game, plus coming up with a moveset for a robot made of limbs isn't actually that hard at all. The DJ guy from Rhythm Heaven should be an assist trophy at most, imo.
I also think that Miis should only be an assist character by having whatever miis are in your system 'Parade' read stampeded from one side of the screen to the other. The idea of them being playable is just meh. I guess I could see the appeal for Waluigi but meh I don't really care about him honestly.
Finally for third parties, Sonic, Snake, Megaman, and maybe some other one but not Ryu. Ryu is the epitome of boring characters, I don't want another crossover game infested with hadoukens and crap. We get Megaman leave Ryu the fuck away from this game please. You want ryu go play the thousands of other fighting games with him in it, we don't need his boring ass moveset in yet another fighter.
