9-Volt's stages in the WarioWare franchise only feature games and series developed by either the main Nintendo EAD teams or Intelligent Systems, meaning that some well-known Nintendo IPs such as Kirby and Pokémon are left absent from 9-Volt's microgames. There is one obscure exception to this rule that can be found in 9-Volt's cutscene in WarioWare: Touched!, where a Pokémon Pikachu LCD device can be seen among his Nintendo collection.

There is a third category of studio represented in WarioWare games: defunct ones/ones that had the rights for their games seemingly revert to Nintendo. Move It! has a Mario Pinball Land microgame, which was developed by the now-defunct Fuse Games, as well as a Wii Play Motion microgame based on Pose Mii Plus, a subgame developed by Skip Ltd. The Donkey Kong Country microgame in Gold would count for the latter, as Rare is still around, but doesn't really actively work with Nintendo anymore because they're owned by Microsoft.
As an aside, I do wonder if we'll see more microgames derived from Nintendo subsidiaries in the future. Retro Studios is the only one to get any so far, I believe, but there's definitely room for NST, Monolith Soft, Next Level Games, and maybe Brownie Brown's old games to get microgames.

I'd love to see Mole Mania get a microgame some time, that was an anonymous work of Softnica IIRC. Perhaps one of the modern games from G&W Gallery, which was by TOSE. Drill Dozer is my favourite Ninty franchise total, and one that would work well for a WarioWare microgame, but - maybe this is just all the issues Pokemon has had in crossovers speaking - Game Freak strikes me as a way higher hurdle even without Pikachu involved.
