The 17 Pokemon types are:

Normal
Fire
Water
Electric
Grass
Ice
Fighting
Poison
Ground
Flying
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Dark
Steel

There can be a combination of two for every Pokemon, or in this case, character.

As for the actual Brawl Pokemon:

Lucario: Fighting/Steel
Pikachu: Electric
Jigglypuff: Normal
Charizard: Fire/Flying
Ivysaur: Grass/Poison
Squirtle: Water

Some examples of the Brawl cast now:

Ness: Normal/Psychic
Bowser: Fire/Dragon
Yoshi: Dragon
Pit: Normal/Flying
Ice Climbers: Ice/Ground

Come up with your own!

Ganon - Dark/Fighting.

In his original game he'd be, dark, fighting, flying, ghost, steel and physic.

Link - Ground/Fighting.

Zelda - Physic/Fighting.

Isn't Kirby more like a ditto?

ROB wouldn't be electric, he'd be Steel/Psychic.


:sniper:
That's a tough one. He could be fire as well, due to the rocket blasts.

I would say just steel, since you could put the laser in a category of flash cannon instead of psybeam or whatever.

Zelda should be some combination of Electric, Fire, and Psychic. Probably Electric/Fire with Teleport (Psychic move), Mirror Coat (Psychic move best resembled by Nayru's Love) and Transform (Normal move) as things she can learn.

I'd think of Zelda as Psychic/Electric. She can learn a few fire moves, but her main moves are mostly electric-magic (or normal...) in nature.

Also:
Ike: Fighting/Fire
Marth: Normal/Fighting

And Kirby, like Ditto, is Normal type.

Some might disagree, but characters like Zelda can be consider Normal type, since a Normal type like Jigglypuff can learn Fire and Electric attacks. The same with Dragon types, which is why I left Bowser as a Dragon type only.

I honestly thought you were going to say, "a normal type like Jigglypuff, against the ghostly Gengar a battle's real tough." >_>

That doesn't even make sense.

Olimar could be Fire, Water, Electric, or Poison given the Pikmin.
But a Normal type can learn Fire, Water, Electric, or Poison. This is why it's silly to look at the attacks a character in Brawl has and try to ascribe a type to that particular character. For example, Zelda uses fire, and her smash attacks seem to project some kind of electricity. She'd be better off as a Normal type with fire and electric attacks. Ness and Lucas use fire and electric attacks, and Lucas uses PK Freeze, which is ice. However, a character like Mewtwo can learn Thunderbolt, Thunder, Ice Beam, Blizzard.

It doesn't make sense to make Meta Knight a Dark type, either. He's not evil, nor does he represent anything dark. And what's with making Ganondorf a Fighting type? If it's the fact that he fights, then we should make all the characters a Fighting type. I can understand Sheik and Zero Suit Samus being a Fighting type, since they're all about melee. I don't know why people made Zero Suit Samus an Electric type. A Normal type could use electric attacks. Oh, and making Mario and Luigi a Fire type is silly, too. Again, a Normal type can learn fire attacks. Should Mario be Fire/Water type? Don't forget F.L.U.D.D.

I still think Zelda should be at least psychic. To me, it seems a better fit for someone such as her who has that kind of magical power. Her moves generally do not fit the mold of physical attacks that make up most normal moves, with her down tilt and smash being the lone exceptions. Maybe a normal/psychic combination? That way, the fire moves can still be learned. The bulk of her attacks just don't make her seem like just normal.

Grass...? Can we get an explanation for this?

Well, a Psychic type can learn Fire and Electric type attacks as well - take Kadabra for instance. Zelda really suits me as a Psychic type consider her powers and abilities, as human as she may be.

Metaknight: Bug/flying
Bats are bugs, right?


Captain Falcon is the only fighting type this side of Lucario. Come up with better ideas, people.




Also, Wario is a Steel/Flying type, because he's a lead-balloon/glass cannon made of titanium steel.

Also, Falco isn't a Flying type. He's a Falling type, because he can't recover. Ness is also a Falling Type.


Also, Ness is a Ground type, because he can't recover. That makes Ness Falling/Ground.

It has to do with the Turnip. Going by attacks again, when it shouldn't be attacks that determine the character's type.

A psychic is not a magician and vice versa, but a normal person could use supernatural abilities. The only thing Zelda has, as far as psychic abilities go for her, are premonitions. I don't main her anyway, so I don't care what you make of her. Just as long it isn't something silly like making Peach a Grass type, or Meta Knight a Dark or Bug type.

Pikachu would definitely be bug type.
*sucks teeth* Really?

Also, I do not understand why Peach would be considered Normal only. She has characteristics of flying, so why not Normal/flying type? It honestly doesn't make sense that Falco is a Normal/Fly type, yet his "flight" is worse than her's. IMO, I think that the characters should be placed in groups accoring to the most dominant attibute that shows. Obviously if they conflict, it won't work. Such as saying Peach would be Normal/Flying/Grass. Also, Mario isn't Fire/Water since F.L.U.D.D. isn't an attribute he possesses naturally.

Ok, to start off.

Zelda, Lucas, and Ness are very clearly ascribed psychic powers, that puts them in psychic right off the bat. They can use those psychic powers to do other things (such as creating fire).


Dark type is ultimately stylistic, being evil is neither necessary nor sufficient to be dark-type. It's an affinity with black, stylistically speaking that dictates it. MK definately fits the bill, dark/flying.


Fighting type comes from specialized martial training and an affinity for melee combat, while it's not absolute, an argument can easily be made for him being fighting type. edit: (since it's unclear, Ganon)

ZSS being electric, in this case it's mostly about what her weaknesses are, and as ZSS she still has tons of circuitry throughout her body which makes her act like an alectric, but not a style anymore however, lacking the outside shell. Electric/fighting is probably the most realistic.


edit:
Speaking of which, peach is psychic type as well. Her ability to use mental states to create a wide variety of effects (see super princess peach) definitely qualifies as psionics.

In see waaaaaaaaaaaay too much fighting type here ;_;
In general I think you guys base way too much of a characters moveset... Mario as a firre type just because of his neutral B? Come on...one fire move doesn't make a fire pokemon (psychics or normal can learn fire too as well as some others) - Mario obviously fulfils the requirements for a normal type pokemon. It's more abot the appearance of a character than his moves...


MARIO CHARACTERS:

Mario: Normal
Luigi: Psychic
Peach: Normal / Flying
Wario: Poison / Flying (seriously, this guy can fly)
Yoshi: Dragon + Water/Fire/Grass/Ground (depending on his colour)

Zelda: Psychic
Sheik: Fighting
Ganondorf: Dark
Toon Link: Normal


STARFOX CHARACTERS:

Fox: Normal / Psychic
Falco: Flying / Psychic
Wolf: Dark / Psychic

I gave them all Psychic because ... well they're animals, who can talk, use weapons and wear clothes...not quite normal =P


KIRBY CHARACTERS:

Kirby: Normal / Flying (Can change types like Porygon can)
MK: Dark / Flying
D3: Fighting / Flying


FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTERS:

Marth: Normal
Ike: Fire


DONKEY KONG CHARACTERS:

Diddy: Ground
Donkey: Ground


EARTHBOUND CHARACTERS:

Ness: Psychic
Lucas: Psychic


METROID CHARACTERS:

Samus: Steel / Electric
Zamus: Fighting / Electric


THE REST:

Ice Clinbers: Ice / Ground
Falcon: Fighting
G&W: Normal / (Dark?)
Olimar: Grass / Poison
Pit: Normal / Flying
ROB: Steel / Electric
Snake: Fighting
Sonic: Steak

Well, not exactly, about the Mario thing. He would be normal/fire indicating that he does have some sort of fira ability within him. but not completely. Also, if it's more about the appearance Sudowudo would be a grass type.

Also, Sonic: Steak? xD
