At the core of the {{uv|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 core series RPG versions. Thus far there have been a total of nine generations, with the grand total of species clocking in at 1,025 different species of Pokémon, and each ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' game features a selected assortment of Pokémon from all current generations existent at its time to serve a variety of roles, such as playable characters, characters that are summoned from an [[item]] called the [[Poké Ball]], [[enemies]] and [[boss]]es, collectible [[trophies]], [[stickers]], or [[spirit]]s, characters within [[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.

==Third Generation==
==Third Generation==
The ''Pokémon'' franchise entered its third generation in 2002 with 135 new Pokémon species from the Hoenn region added to the previous 251 to form a total of 386 Pokémon, first featured in the RPGs ''Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire'' for Game Boy Advance. This generation's first appearance in a ''Smash Bros.'' game, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', also happens to be the first appearance of the fourth generation that was put in effect an entire four years later, owing to the relatively long time period between the releases of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
<!--Do not add trivia about Pokémon from generations that were released after a Smash game's release. They aren't in Smash for the obvious reason of not existing at that time and is not interesting trivia. Them not appearing in *any* Smash game is also subject to change every year and makes for bad trivia.-->
*The Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Magnemite, Onix, Koffing, Staryu, Electabuzz, Porygon, Snorlax, Sudowoodo, Riolu, and Snover lines are the only Pokémon evolutionary families to have all of their members appear in the ''Smash'' franchise.
**The Bulbasaur and Pikachu (counting its role as a starter in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Yellow}}'' and ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu}}'') lines are also the only {{s|bulbapedia|starter}} families to have all of its members appear. (Not counting Kanto Raichu)
**However, the Pikachu, Koffing, Staryu and Snorlax families are the only ones in which all members have major in-game roles.
*Generation I is the only generation to have the fully-evolved forms of all of their starters appear in ''Smash''.
*Ivysaur is the only middle-stage evolution of a starter Pokémon to appear in ''Smash''.
**Charmeleon and Wartortle are the only Kanto starters who are not represented in ''Smash'' in any form.
*Grass is the only starter type not to feature a fully evolved Pokemon as a fighter.
*Grass is the only starter type not to feature a fully evolved Pokemon as a fighter.
**Ivysaur is the only Grass starter that is a fighter.
*Generations III, V, and VIII are the only three ''Pokémon'' generations not to have any Pokemon playable.
**Barring Mega Charizard X, Bug, Ground, Ghost, Dragon, Ice and Rock are the only types to not have a playable Pokemon representing any of these types.
**None of the Mythical Pokemon are playable.
*Blaziken, Infernape, Greninja, and Incineroar are the only fully-evolved forms of a starter Pokémon outside of Generation I to appear in ''Smash''.
**Greninja is also the only one of these that is not a Fire-type.
*Generations II, V, and VIII are the only generations that do not have at least one of their starters' fully evolved forms appear in ''Smash''.
*Froakie, Litten, and Popplio are the only three unevolved starter Pokémon that do not appear in ''Smash''.
**Froakie is the only unevolved Generation VI starter that does not appear in ''Smash''.
**Rowlet is the only unevolved Generation VII starter that appears in ''Smash''.
**The Popplio line (Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina) is the only starter line that does not have any members appear in ''Smash'' at all. While Froakie and Litten do not make any appearances in ''Smash'', their lines are still represented through Greninja and Incineroar, respectively.
*Blastoise, Kangaskhan, and Blaziken are the only non-playable Pokémon whose Mega Evolution is shown.
*Generations III, IV, VII, and VIII are the only generations that do not have all of their {{s|bulbapedia|Legendary}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}} represented in ''Smash''.
**While Registeel makes an appearance, its counterparts Regirock and Regice do not; they are the only two Generation III legendaries who do not appear.
**Heatran is the only Generation IV Legendary that does not appear in any form.
**Generations VII and VIII have the most Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that do not appear in ''Smash''. Of note, Tapu Koko is the only {{s|bulbapedia|guardian deity}} that makes an appearance.
**Generation VIII has the fewest Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that do appear in ''Smash'', with only two. Additionally, much like Registeel's case, neither Regieleki nor Regidrago appear. Similarly, none of the legendary birds' Galarian forms appear.
*Zeraora, Meltan, Melmetal and Zarude are the only Mythical Pokémon that do not appear in ''Smash''; all were revealed after Marshadow, the newest Pokémon to be represented at the time of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release.
*Nihilego is the only {{s|bulbapedia|Ultra Beast}} that appears in ''Smash''.
*Nihilego is the only {{s|bulbapedia|Ultra Beast}} that appears in ''Smash''.
*Goodra, Kommo-o and Dragapult are the only {{s|bulbapedia|pseudo-legendary Pokémon}} that do not appear in ''Smash''.
*Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor are the only Pokémon to have their regional forms appear in ''Smash''.
*Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor are the only Pokémon to have their regional forms appear in ''Smash''.
**Vulpix is the only Pokemon to have both its normal (Kanto) and regional forms (Alolan) appear in ''Smash''.
**Vulpix is the only Pokemon to have both its normal (Kanto) and regional forms (Alolan) appear in ''Smash''.
**No Galarian forms appear in ''Smash''.
*Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon are the only three {{s|bulbapedia|Eeveelution}}s to appear in ''Smash''.
*Hitmonlee is the only Hitmon (either one of three possible evolutions of Tyrogue) to appear in ''Smash''.
*Landorus is the only Force of Nature to be shown in his Therian Forme, while the other two Forces of Nature, Tornadus and Thundurus, are shown in their Incarnate Formes.
*For some reason, all Garchomp seen in ''Smash'' clearly depict it as being female, since she does not have a notch in her dorsal fin unlike a male Garchomp.
*Due to ''Pokemon Sword and Shield'' being released long after ''Ultimate'', Generation VIII is the only generation to not feature any Pokemon represented as Pokeballs in ''Smash''.
*No Gigantamax forms appear in ''Smash'', although Jigglypuff's Final Smash resembles Dynamaxing.
