Agreeing with Arthur, the poke'mon are kinda based on popularity from the Anime/Movies. That's why we have Pikachu instead maybe...Geodude. Pikachu was put in because he was Ash's partner. They put in Jigglypuff because she appeared in some of the old episodes as a tag-along. Mewtwo came because of his movie debut, he could talk but only in the Jap. version of melee, we didn't see any mewtwo's in the Anime that could talk. Pichu got in because of Jap. release of the Pichu Bros. so they became popular instantly. Then Lucario got in do to his appearance in the movie and they gave him the ability of speech. Poke'mon trainer................They just put him in their, I don't know.
