Well I've heard quite a few people predict Swampert which would make sense since they just revealed Sceptile.

Spoiler: Names

And some of the Pokemon we can knock off that list due to them being support Pokemon are:

• Lapas
• Frogadier
• Jirachi

And there are others that just completely illogical. Like Rattata! Unless Youngster Joey is deciding who the fighters will be I highly doubt Rattata will be in Pokken

I agree for Swampert we already have Blaziken and Sceptile so we need to finish this trio XDD

But... I really want Rattata! A top percentage Rattata!!

It's going to be Swampert... But I'd prefer other Pokemon like Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, or Groudon, why not?

I agree with you
I wanted some Pokémon like Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Primeape, Hariyama (the sumo Pokémon XDD) and Ursaring maybe they will add one of them...

Well I wouldn't be surprised for Hitmonlee, cause almost every fighting game needs a Bruce Lee fighter! And I can see either Hariyama and/or Snorlax being the tank characters in this game.
