Even if we chop it down as you propose, there's gotta be way more than ten pokemon that would fit in a fighting game. Off the top of my head, Electabuzz, Golem, Mewtwo, and Jynx would totally fit. |
No arguments with those options, other than the fact that Electabuzz was given a held-item+trade evolution in the 5'11" Electivire:
Looking over each generation, and
ignoring if they've already been confirmed, here's who I would include:
Gen 1: Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Sandslash, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Persian, Primeape, Arcanine, Alakazam, Poliwrath, Machamp, Tentacruel, Golem, Farfetch'd, Muk, Gengar, Hypno, Marowak, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Lickitung, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, Jynx, Scyther, Pinsir, Ditto, Kabutops, Snorlax, Dragonite, and Mew.
Gen 2: Feraligater, Ampharos, Sudowoodo, Scizor, Heracross, Granbull, Donphan, Hitmontop, and Tyranitar.
Gen 3: Blaziken, Swampert, Ludicolo, Shiftry, Gardevoir, Slaking, Shedinja, Exploud, Hariyama, Sableye, Mawile, Aggron, Medicham, Grumpig, Flygon, Cacturne, Zangoose, Crawdaunt, Salamence, Metagross, and Groudon.
Gen 4: Infernape, Empoleon, Rampardos, Vespiquen, Lopunny, Honchkrow, Purugly, Garchomp, Lucario, Toxicroak, Abomasnow, Weavile, Rhyperior, Electivire, Gallade, Froslass, Magmortar, Ambipom, Dusknoir, and Darkrai.
Gen 5: Emboar, Samurott, Gigalith, Excadrill, Conkeldurr, Seismtoad, Throh, Sawk, Krookadile, Darmanitan, Scrafty, Cofagrigus, Caracosta, Zoroark, Gothitelle, Escavalier, Eelektross, Haxorus, Beartic, Mienshao, Druddigon, Golurk, Bisharp, Hydreigon, and Genesect.
Gen 6: Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, Pangoro, Clawitzer, Heliolisk, Tyrantrum, Hawlucha (yes, a hawk pokemon whose whole gimic is lucha libre), Goodra, and Trevenant.
That totals out to 139 of 721, roughly 1/5th of the entire Pokedex.
