Kriven pretty much explained why a lot of people know Roy and that's a big point. Fire Emblem consists of many games with different protagonists, like Final Fantasy and stuff. It's a source of many characters. We have NES Marth, GC Ike and 3DS Robin (Lucina doesn't count, because intended to be a costume). Why not add GBA Roy? Sure there's Eliwood, but again, more people know Roy, FE or not.
An ideal roster contains all characters from the previous games and more. Melee pulled it off. The potential is still there, maybe sans Snake, Squirtle and Ivysaur, because of DLC. We already have Mewtwo, we're getting Lucas and Roy is pretty much a given at this point. And to prove this doesn't halt the flow of new characters coming in, Ryu is most likely coming too. That's assuming the rumor is true.
