I feel like if they wanted to give Pokémon a specific amiibo line, it would have to be based on/for Pokkén Tournament since there's only less than two dozen playable Pokémon in the game to chose from instead of all 800+ of them. I feel like that could work. They could function like the amiibo do in Smash or give out special bonuses like the Shadow Mewtwo card did.
On the other hand, though, if they did decide to give Pokkén an amiibo line, I'm afraid that they would just be cards like the Shadow Mewtwo card, which would be a real shame as (like I said before) I would love to have a Suicune or a Weavile or a Sceptile amiibo figure.

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Did Robin get a female amiibo? Is so, the fourth is probably female Corrin. Even if there wasn't a female Robin amiibo, there was a popularity poll for Fire Emblem Heroes that covered the entire Fire Emblem series which concluded before the trademark or whatever was filed, and female Corrin ranked super high.
I'm not going to lie, part of me is hoping it'll be a new character we don't know about (maybe Rayman, Yooka/Laylee, or even Bomberman since the possibility is there) unlikely as that is, though a Master/Crazy Hand amiibo would be interesting.
Though I have to wonder how well a Master/Crazy Hand amiibo would sell. Personally, I'd rather have a fighter character (be it a model swap of another character, a veteran character(s) like the Ice Climbers, or a new fighter), though I'm not opposed to one of the Hands getting an amiibo.
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."So that fourth amiibo might be Female Corrin.
If this is true, I wonder if they'll make one for female Robin as well.
Amiibo for female polygons/wireframe from the multi-melees?
Hmm... probably not...

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.So Nintendo's website
has now been updated to include all of the recently revealed amiibo. You can take a look at all of their box arts as well, with the exception of the Pikmin amiibo for some reason (as of this writing), which you can find here
. Apparently the variants of the Smash final three are all called "Player 2."
The question is, though: Is that it for the Smash series? Judging by the wording of the tweet I posted earlier, it seems to be the case.

Then theres the issue of giving them some kind of function in a game.
Well, they could be lazy and just re-use the Rumble NFC idea.
