The reason people are "hanging on" to said partner's theory is because of the fact that every character has a feasible partner so far. It's not like we're grasping for straws here when there's obvious evidence there to support that theory.
But it's not obvious evidence. The reason people automatically think "Oh, all the characters have partners except Toad, so the 12th character must be Toadette." is because the roster as of right now, looks like this:
Mario/Luigi Peach/Daisy Yoshi/Birdo Wario/Waluigi Koopa/Shy Guy Toad/???
People automatically put the characters together in their heads and jump to conclusions, when actually, Nintendo puts these characters in the game because they are popular and well liked, they just happened to be partnered in previous games. I'm not saying Nintendo won't go with the 'partners' formula, they very well could, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did. All I'm saying is that people should keep their opinions open, because the 12th character could be anyone. Also it just seems weird to me that they haven't revealed Toadette yet if she is in, in my opinion she wouldn't be much of a surprise character seeing as though she's been in past games. It'll be obvious evidence if/when Toadette, or an obvious 'partner' to another character is confirmed.
