Because it looks boring and the roster isn't that interesting.
I get that they didn't want to go the obvious route and include JUST fighting types, but was it wise to hardly include any? Also some fighting type pokemon are some of the ones I would most want to play this game as.
The Hitmons, Poliwrath, Hariyama. They're designed with melee combat in mind so obviously when you think of a fighting game for Pokemon, you want to see them fighting.
Not once when they announced this game did I think afterwards "boy I hope they include Suicine and Gardevoir.
