Pokemon trainer could easily be made to work if they just removed the fatigue system where each of the 3 got weaker over time. But then at that point, they might as well just give the 3 pokemon their own character portraits and separate them entirely.
Since both links are in, the only "clones" (for lack of a better word) we have left are the star fox trio, falcon/ganondorf, ness/lucas.
I'm still not sure why we need 3 star fox characters when the series hasn't had a new game in 7 years, and a good new game in even longer.
I get the feeling the "slim roster" thing is probably being misunderstood. We already know 17 characters, and the game isn't out for ages yet (For comparison , we only knew 25 of 37 characters or so when brawl launched). Presuming a rough equal number of unrevealed characters at launch, would mean we can expect at least 29 if no more are announced (and that isn't going to happen).

As a result, the more old characters they reveal, the even lower chances of getting new characters, which is already pretty low with the combination of smaller roster and a large roster in Brawl.
As I said above, I think the 3ds problems probably are being misunderstood. Perhaps it refers more to the number of models on screen at once (hence why olimar appears to have 3 pikmin instead of 5 now) and I slightly suspect the problem he refers to may be to do with the ice climbers.
File size shouldn't be a problem at least, as the 3DS can in principle have 8GB cards (though the biggest so far is 4)
