List of Pokémon

Many Pokémon cameo in the opening movie of Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The Playable Pokémon Cast, alongside the Poké-ball Pokémon, in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

At the core of the Pokémon franchise are hundreds upon hundreds of the eponymous creatures. These are collectively called Pokémon and have many roles in the Pokémon RPGs, mainly as game pieces in Pokémon battling where the object is to defeat the opponent's enemy Pokémon with their own. Pokémon are introduced en masse once every several years as part of a new "Generation" of the franchise, along with the newest handheld RPG versions. Thus far there have been a total of seven generations, with the grand total of species clocking in at 809 different species of Pokémon, and each Super Smash Bros. game features a selected assortment of Pokémon from all current generations existent at its time to serve a variety of roles, such as playable character, character that is summoned from an item called the Poké Ball, collectible trophy or sticker, background characters in stages, and others.

All listed Pokémon that are bolded have the major roles of either being playable characters, appearing from a Poké Ball item, or appearing as an enemy (boss, Smash Run, etc.). Others have more minor roles.

First Generation

The Pokémon franchise began in 1996 with 151 Pokémon species from the Kanto region featured in the very first versions of the Pokémon RPGs, Pokémon Red and Blue for the original Game Boy. This was the only generation in effect when Super Smash Bros. was developed and released.
