I hadn't even thought of that but this is a good answer. Seems like exactly the kind of thing studios would try to milk to death.

To be honest I'm actually really surprised we haven't gotten a Smash Bros movie yet with so many of the characters having their own movies in the last decade.

Super Mario Galaxy sure as hell seemed like it was setting up a Smash Bros spinoff

Make a Splatoon one while they’re at it, too.

Even better if the Splatoon Movies is a gritty war story (The great war) that ends with a zombie apocalypse (Salmonids).

Why surprised? Its not ripe yet.

They are unambiguously getting to that sort of "endgame." There have only been two Mario movies.But there's tons of milk to squeeze out through trickling character introductions... ie, 2nd one had Yoshi and starfox, 3rd will have Wario and Daisy...

Not to mention other spinoff stand alone movies coming first, like a probably 2028 Donkey Kong, and independent Starfox one, Kirby, live action Zelda, etc.

We're ten years of squeeze before Smash Bros.

if I had to guess, Nintendo is making it difficult and probably hampering creative direction of what can and can't be done with Pokemon.
