Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS

Today’s daily Super Smash Bros. image features a familiar Pokémon face, and a relatively new one.

Pikachu was one of the first characters unveiled for the game, but Xerneas’ involvement is a new mystery. He could be simply be one of the Poké Ball items, a new stand-a-lone fighter, or part of the yet-to-be confirmed Pokémon trainer’s team.

Of the three predictions above, I am guessing that Xerneas will just be one of the Poke Ball items in the game. He’s not noteworthy enough (yet) to be his own fighter, and we don’t even know if the Pokémon trainer will be making a return or not.

Nintendo recently revealed that Sonic and Toon Link would both be making a return in Super Smash Bros., which you can read about here and here.
