In Japan, there were the three most popular Pokemon of Gen 1 (aside the 3 starters I suppose).

That's why all three have a big place in the first season of the anime, why Jigglypuff was on the first SSB and then in the entire series. Meowth was planned to be playable in the first SSB too, but was cut.
