That was what my idea was, actually ;p

Down B = Blast Mask. Lols will ensue.

To be honest, I think it'd be fine. Consider this;

Link = TP
Toon Link = WW
Young Link = MM

All three of them are completely different Links, from completely different universes, from completely different time periods. They're technically different characters. Therefore, they can all have completely different playstyles. And considering the huge arsenal of weapons in the Zelda universe, it wouldn't be hard to make each one have new movelists and play differently. In fact, Toon Link's movelist could be COMPLETELY redone. I'd have to watch some Wind Waker videos since I haven't actually played the game itself, but I could help with that as well. Coming up with Smash Bros. movelists is surprisingly fun.
Liking this idea.
Maybe for Pichu, once Chrage is fully charged, pressing Down B will use Discharge. All the electricity stored in her will expel outwards in a circle in every direction, doing somewhat strong damage (15-20%). Also, and idea for UpB would be Flash. Pichu turns into a bright ball of light and moves instantaneously in the direction you choose. It'd be similar to Mewtwo's UpB in Melee. I know it a dumb idea, but its something other than Quick Attack again. Her FS could be the Light Ball. Pretty much she holds the ball like a normal item except that she can't drop it. She is faster with better jumps and stronger (similar to Wario's FS). Or maybe Sweet Kiss. The screen zooms up on Pichu and she does a little dance. Then she Flashes or Quick Attacks so she is next to every person within a certain range and kisses them (other characters are frozen during this time, like in Falcon's FS where the car drive by and he jumps in, but no one moves). Everyone affected will have their controls reversed (up is down, left is right, A is B, ect.) for short time (since Sweet Kiss confuses in the games). Maybe Tail Whip could be a smash attack. it doesn't do much damage, but when fully charged it can break sheilds (tail whip lowers defense in the games).
I agree with all of tyvon's recent posts
So for Pichu, what I'm thinking so far is;

His normal attacks do not damage him.
B- Charge- His attacks do more damage to enemies, but also damage Pichu. (lasts ___ seconds).
Down B- Thunder Wave- Paralyzes enemies nearby. Think Jigglypuff's Rest or Mewtwo's Disable.
Up B- Flash could work.
Smash B- Just Thunderbolt like Pikachu?
What would Flash do?
Kind of a teleport that does light damage/stuns. Similar to Sheik's Smoke Bomb, but with no knockback.
I described it in my post, but Pichu would turn into a bright ball of light and sort of move really quickly in a direction you choose with the control stick. Like PIkachu's, only it looks different, has only one movement, and is much faster. It normally moves at an upward 45 degree angle in the direction you're facing, but if you're really quick you can change the direction. Also Pikachu's Forward B is SKull Bash, not Thunderbolt.

Oh yeah. Well then how about...

Down B- Charge- His attacks do more damage to enemies, but also damage Pichu. (lasts ___ seconds).
Up B- Flash could work.
Smash B- Thunder Wave- Paralyzes enemies nearby. Think Jigglypuff's Rest or Mewtwo's Disable.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet, but I think it would be nice to have the type weaknesses and resistances for the Pokémon characters. For example, Charizard's Flamethrower dealing 2x damage to Ivysaur and Pikachu's electric attacks damaging Squirtle more. Or is that making it too complicated / broken?
that seems pretty broken. like charizard users would have a distinct advantage over ivysaur users and that would be lame.
And Pikachu would own both Squirtle AND Charizard. We'd also have to take into account their individual attacks, i.e. Quick Attack WOULDN'T be super effective on Squirtle, but Rock Smash would hurt Jigglypuff more than Flamethrower. Too much work.
Definitely no on the type weakness thing for Pokemon. It unbalances the game and makes it completely obvious who the best character would be to pick in retaliation.

Maybe we could include a type weakness system for some sort of event match, however.
Mmm, I figure it only works in Pokémon games.

I know he's a completely different Link from a completely different time period, I know where you're coming from I just don't think we need three Links. It seems like total overkill. It'd be like having Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu playable. Too much of the same basic idea. Young Link lends himself to a wide variety of a bunch of movesets. I'd love a Young Link where his Side B was Goron Link doing a Goron Roll, Down B is Zora Link's boomerang blades and Up B is Deku Flowers but we just don't need another Link.

Toon Link is a better representation of Young Link as of current. Toon Link has been in Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures and Minish Cap. All more recent titles. A moveset could be developed that utilizes ideas from all of these games and he could be unique enough. But adding a whole other Link just seems like oversaturation of the same basic character.
