The Pokémon characters in Smash Brothers

I've seen multiple announcements of "all the amazing" playable/unlockable characters in the new Super Smash Brawl float by, but I'm not sure if I'm really impressed.

Why do we always get these specific Pokémon characters? The Pokémon you get to play as are always so random, I'm not sure what the point is. The continuous return of Pikachu is the only one that makes sense.
Nintendo's choice to add Mewtwo in the second game was understandable as well, as he was a legend in and outside of the game, but why was Lucario the one to stay? Why did we get the Pokémon trainer character, which is basically all 3 starter Pokémon in one? And why Jigglypuff? The thing sucks and already looks too much like Kirby.


Why did Mewtwo never make a return to the Smash Brawl series; but friggen Jigglypuff and Lucario do? Of all starter Pokémon, why do we have Charizard in this new instalment? Of all the new starter Pokémon, why Greninja? He's the least cool, in my opinion.

I once thought that they were following this rule where the most popular Pokémon at the moment gets added, but if that were the case, Lucario and Jigglypuff would not be in this game two times in a row, and characters like Meowth or Zoroark would be a part of it by now.
