*[[Pokémon Trainer]] - Pokémon Trainer was likely considered to return from Brawl at one point in development  but was cut due to the limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]' processing power which couldn’t make transformation mechanic work in the 3DS version.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2015/07/09/i-answer-some-questions-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-461-464/</ref> As result only Charizard returned as a playable character, while Squirtle and Ivysaur were fully cut.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8.2014]</ref> Red (under the name "Pokémon Trainer"), Squirtle, and Ivysaur still appear in-game as a trophies and would later return in the next game.
*[[Takamaru]] - In a Niconico interview, Sakurai states that [[Takamaru]] was briefly considered as a playable character, but didn't make the cut due to lack of fan familiarity, resulting in his [[Assist Trophy]] role.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/22/mewtwo-dlc-takamaru-and-sakurais-nico-nico-appearance/</ref> A {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}} costume based on Takamaru appears as DLC.

*[[Chrom]] - In Sakurai's weekly Famitsu Column after the reveal trailer for {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, Sakurai stated that he considered adding Chrom in the game. However, he instead chose Robin, feeling that Chrom offered nothing unique over Marth and {{SSB4|Ike}}.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/06/28/sakurais-famitsu-column-vol-457-abilities-unlike-any-other/</ref> Chrom appears as part of [[Pair Up|Robin's Final Smash]], and a {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}} outfit based off of him (the latter as DLC). He later became a [[Chrom (SSBU)|playable]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Echo Fighter of {{SSBU|Roy}}.
