>>37612783The fact that it's always been in Smash is the only thing keeping it there. If they ever start cutting OG members in future entries, Jigglypuff is going to be the first to go and everyone knows it.
>>37612803>jigglypuff has interesting abilities while eevee doesn't.>implying Eevee wouldn't get the Let's Go toolkit if it were to become playable in Smash>it's a gen 1 Pokemon. It's always relevant by default.>implying being gen 1 automatically makes a Pokemon relevantFirst of all, against all odds, Dewgong still exists. Second of all, in this hypothetical Jigglypuff is to be replaced by another, more relevant gen 1 Pokemon so the Kanto native status doesn't matter.
Personally I think swapping out Jigglypuff for anything in general and especially Eevee in particular would be a baddy bad move, but from a marketing standpoint it's the most logical path to take for Smash 6. Drop Greninja or Incineroar or both for the big shillmon of Gen 8 or 9, and quietly swap out Jigglypuff for Eevee.
