This old puppy is gettin retired. It was a nice way to get the ball roll, but there are some things you just want to do right the first time, right?

The Type Chart Project is now being updated with an individual look at each character on a week-by-week (usually) basis! Entitled the Pokedex Entry Series, it's an in depth look at one character within a dedicated thread.
Want to see the reasoning behind these match ups? Here are the detailed discussions we have analyzed thus far:
1. Pokemon Trainer! The most complex ditto match EVER.
2. Metaknight...
3. Mr. Gay Men Watch!
4. Marth.
5. Snake
~Concept~
Basically, the idea came to me as I wondered which Pokemon was best to use against Pit. I'd searched and searched for a type chart similar to the ol type charts you find in the Pokemon games, but alas, there was none. So I decided to start one of my own! My hope is that this will be a basic guideline to use when trying to master Pokemon Trainer, a resource to all Trainers out there. One of the most important aspects to PT's character is the ability to switch Pokemon as the situation demands it, and this should serve to show which Pokemon is most effective against each character, so you can focus on using that Pokemon as much as possible!
So, the point is to determine which Pokemon have a natural advantage against other characters. But I'm no where near experienced enough with PT, nor have I fought every character enough to determine who to use against what opponent. THIS is where you all come in!
~How to Contribute~
To add to the chart, please state the character that you are going to cover, with reasons for what you think each Pokemon's ability is against said character. For example...
Ike
Squirtle: Neutral, he can pressure with aerials and combo Ike, but Ike's range and power can destroy Squirtle if you aren't careful. Squirtle's overall speed is effective against Ike's slow attacks.
Ivysaur: Super Effective/Plus/Green/etc, Razor Leaf spam can rack up damage as Ike lacks projectiles, Ivysaur also has terrific range on most of his attacks, so if Ike manages to get in your face, you can Fsmash or Jab with success, for example.
Charizard: Not very effective, Ike can juggle Charizard and his massive size, and outprioritizes a lot of Charizard's attacks. Charizard can short hop a Rock Smash or Flamethrower, but Ike can Smash you if you go in with a SH Fair. Ike can basically deal much more damage quicker than Charizard can, which is what Charizard prides itself in.
ps, this is my actual opinion, so I'd appreciate comments from those of you with vs. Ike experience before I add this to the chart!
On that note, I'd like a few peer reviews and discussion when someone decides to analyze before I add it to the chart. Nothing like constructive criticism and more than one opinion!
