​@@gitafaranita4247 While Charizard did appear in Smash 4, I included him here because Charizard is owned by Pokémon Trainer. And also, Brawl is the only game you'll get to see Squirtle and Ivysaur clapping. Charizard did clap in Smash 4, but I did not include that clip because that Pokémon is owned by Pokémon Trainer and this video is focusing on clapping animations from Melee and Brawl veterans that have skipped Brawl, Smash 4, or both games.

Charizard was omitted from the Labor Day Special Skipped Veterans Victory Screen comparisons because it was a standalone character in Smash 4. This was the only instance where Charizard was independent of the Pokemon Trainer. Charizard was included in this video since it is part of the Pokemon Trainer's roster, and the Pokemon Trainer did not appear in Smash 4 due to the 3DS's limitations in handling multiple characters simultaneously.

I believe several veteran characters were absent from some Smash Bros. games for various reasons: Pichu and Young Link were considered weak in Melee, with Pichu lacking significant fighting merits. Young Link's popularity was confined to the Nintendo 64 era, and Toon Link overshadowed him due to Young Link's diminished reputation in Melee. Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, and Roy missed the inclusion in Brawl due to timing and character roster limitations. The 3DS faced challenges with multi-character fighters, leading to the absence of the Ice Climbers and Pokemon Trainer in Smash 4. However, Charizard was featured in Smash 4, retaining his Brawl moveset. Wolf did not return in Smash 4 due to a lack of popularity, and Snake was absent because Konami held the rights.
