I can't see that being the one and only reason behind his creation. I mean, if Wario existed as a bizzaro Mario then naturally people would start to ask if there was a bizzaro Luigi, hence his creation. The least they could do was give Waluigi an appearance in ANY of the non sports/party games; like as a co-owner of a badge shop with Wario in the M&L franchise(idk why I keep bringing those games up, I just really love the direction AlphaDream takes the Mario universe). Just as Luigi eventually became his own character instead of just being seen as the "Green Mario", "The Purple Luigi's" hour is close at hand...it's......WALUIGI TIME!!
EDIT: Honestly, I'm just annoyed with how most discussions of Waluigi, are about how hes not popular and that hes got no characteristics, when practically everyone else in the series has a personality and style thanks to having an appearance in a mainline game. Well duh, he's not going to be popular when he debuts as nothing more than (the badass linebacker)Wario's partner. Perhaps if he had his own little romp on the NES or gameboy platform way back when, he wouldn't be received as such a useless character. Alas, Nintendo is a business, so I have resigned myself to the fact this may never happen, but there is still hope.
