*'''[[Pikachu]]''': Returning from ''Smash Bros.'' with Skull Bash as its new B-Forward move, Pikachu is otherwise not dramatically changed. Pikachu's pre-evolved [[Pichu]] form came into existence in the second generation and is featured as a new playable character.

*'''[[Jigglypuff]]''': Returning from ''Smash Bros.'' with Rollout as its new B move, Jigglypuff is otherwise not dramatically changed. This means that it does not lose its image as a potentially deadly opponent. Its pre-evolved [[Igglybuff]] form came into existence in the second generation and cameos as a collectible trophy.

*'''[[Pichu]]''': A new fighter that is an alternative version to Pikachu, much like [[Luigi]] to [[Mario]]. Pichu, a second-generation Pokémon, is younger and weaker than Pikachu in the Pokéverse, and its control over its electric powers is iffy at best; it often damages itself when unleashing a strong electric attack. This is reflected in ''Melee''. That, along with other disadvantages, makes Pichu one of the least able fighters in ''Melee'', enough that it is considered a "joke character".

Pichu, a second-generation Pokémon, is younger and weaker than Pikachu in the Pokéverse, and its control over its electric powers is iffy at best; it often damages itself when unleashing a strong electric attack. This is reflected in ''Melee'', in that when it uses a B-move or a smash-A move, it will actually receive about 3% damage itself as a side-effect. That, along with other disadvantages such as extremely light weight, makes Pichu one of the least able fighters in ''Melee'', enough that it is considered a "joke character".


*'''[[Mewtwo]]''': A new and original fighter from ''Pokémon'''s first generation. Mewtwo is the strongest Pokémon in the RPGs and in especially the anime continuity is depicted as a sentient humanoid being with a personality that allows for the virtues and failings of a human being. The anime depicts Mewtwo as the twisted genetically-engineered result of scientists working to create the most powerful Pokémon artificially, using the DNA of the rare and powerful [[Mew]] (hence Mewtwo's name). Mewtwo is imbued with extremely potent psychic powers and is in fact able to communicate telepathically in well-grammared English. So it is utterly ironic that Mewtwo is considered a bottom-tier fighter for his playable appearance in ''Melee'', lacking a solid method of approach that most other fighters have.
