Well, to be fair, for the characters, most of everybodies predictions won't make it. Even if they did, not that many. Remember that the 3DS and the Wii U both have the same roster. The stages, however, might be a different story.

I think that almost all stages will be console or handheld exclusive. There are many points proving this, so the stages are more likely.

Personally, I would like to see Ness return in Smash Bros. Since he was in every game, it would make sense for him to come back, maybe not even revealed until the release, so he'll be like an unlockable no one will know, so it can be a pleasent surprise.

Pokemon wise, I think if the Pokemon trainer returns, I'd like him to be maybe... 3rd Gen? It's hated by so many people though, so I guess that won't happen. I think Mewtwo will definetly return.

Customizable characters are a maybe. I don't like the idea of people making OP characters and ruin the whole game online. Well, maybe not ruin, but it wouldn't be very fair. I would like to see different costumes for the characters, like Toon Link being in his normal clothes instead of the Hero Clothes, or maybe even for the Pokemon Trainer, with each costume being not only for the Trainer, but the Pokemon too! This would appeal to many Pokemon fans so that they could be Example: the 4th gen with Infernape, Grotle and Piplup.
