There's one final 1st-generation Pokémon that can still make it, and that's Ditto.
In these more than 2 years that I've been discussing Melee's sequel on message boards, I read several times the unfunny idea of having Ditto as a character that spans any other random character. I still consider it a lame idea, but I think it's possible. Remember that Ditto appears as the icon for random character selection in the tournament mode of Melee; doing that in a game that could use generic shapeshifters instead of game-specific shapeshifters is comparable to making Ditto a selectable character.

Ditto? Why bother with Ditto if you can just select an actual character? And let's not forget that Ditto's only move in Pokemon games is Transform.

I think Ditto is infinitely more likely to appear in a Pokéball.

The common ideas include: - Make Ditto just be a character slot for random selection (again lame because you could do that without a special character slot)
- Make Ditto transform randomly when a match starts or when it comes back after being knocked off.
That's what they could do with a "playable"/"selectable" Ditto, if Ditto doesn't appear from a Poké Ball this time. |

I would be kind of cool. Charade did that in SC2. He was a different character at the beginning of a round. |

That Ditto stuff makes sense to me, it's not lame at all. Each match you are a different fighter! Of course, that could only work in Vs mode.

Or you could just have a question Mark on a tile with "RANDOM" Written under it as that would make more seince. And there's still another 1st gen pokemon MISSINGNO! |

Back in my day we didn't need random buttons! We found a blank section on the character roster menu and we used it dagnabbit!

In all seriousness, Missingno would rule as a Pokeball pokemon. Wouldn't that be really cool? Unfortunately I'm very well aware that could never happen in the real world. Nintendo would NEVER openly admit to a glitch like that. Have they ever refrenced a glitch before? Even as a joke? Like for example... Ermac from Mortal Kombat became real because of a glitch in the original mortal kombat (A red pallete would be applied to one of the ninjas, and the name would be "ERROR MACRO" but abreviated.) I say they should make MissingNo a real pokemon. |

They did reference to Error ("I AM ERROR") in Super Paper Mario and I can remember they said something about the minus world of Super Mario Bros. on the official website of the NES classics for the GBA. |

They referenced the minus world at the beginning of the Underwhere section in SPM, too.
