Pokémon types to characters.

[Agrippa]

This grew out of my general frustration over the lack of a Dark type Pokémon gym, especially the excuse that Dark type gym leaders are impossible because gym leaders have to be good role models for their communities. Someone should have told Giovanni, Whitney and Clair that. Since I've broadened it to other Pokémon types as well and tried to match them to appropriate fictional characters. So here it is, my list of Pokémon types matched to fictional characters. Some might be gym leader potential.

This is interesting...but you forget.

Superman is not pure Flying, he is Flying/Steel! After all, he is the MAN OF STEEL. And he is supposed to be really invincible.

as for Dark type people:
Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)
Vriska Serket (Homestuck)
Though both of these probably have some Psychic typing as well.

Sans (Undertale): Ghost/Dark. (Why? Because he evades all physical attacks, cheats and tricks you to the extreme, is a skeleton, and before Gen VI, he would have no possible weaknesses, add in hyperbeam, poison moves, bone rush, and you have him in a nutshell. Of course he would take one of the most hax type combinations in the game. Is probably level 1, but with Wonder Guard.)

Undyne (Undertale): Fighting/Water (With a mega-evolution form that changes her to Fighting/Fairy, Undyne the Undying essentially fulfilling a fairy tale of a fighting courageous hero)

really, I understand you, trickster Dark gym leader who pulls every opportunity to mess with your expectations would be awesome.

what else?

Harry Dresden (Dresden Files): Fire/Psychic. Though an Alolan form for him might be Ice/Fairy now.

Naruto: Flying/Dark
Ichigo: Ghost/Fighting (Bleach)
Sasuke: Electric/Dark
Spiderman: Bug/Fighting
Rock Lee: Fighting (Naruto) (also explains why he can't learn most ninja techniques- he doesn't have the typing for them)

Most of the characters from DBZ: Fighting/Maybe something else.

The Hulk: Normal

.....now I want to make actual pokemon based off all of these. Poke-Sans would be a fun fan-mon even if completely stupidly hax in some way.

Shedinja with Double Team is probably as close as you can get. Give it Dark/Ghost typing. ;D

[Agrippa]

Okay then Lord Raziere, I just added Steel as a secondary typing to Superman. I hope that makes you happy because I'm going to post a few type appropriate songs. Here it goes.

Dark
Secret Agent Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaR3WO71j4)- John Rivers
Archer's closing theme: The Killer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVyMiYYyiWs)- Mel Young

When You're Evil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWYCS6k1IOA)- Voltaire

Fairy
A Kind of Magic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p_1QSUsbsM)- Queen
I consider Fairy, Ghost and Psychic to be the default "magic" types in Pokémon. The kind of magic found A Kind of Magic fits the lighter and more cheerful side of fairy magic more than any thing else.

Eye of the Tiger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPJPFnesV4)- Survivor

Psychic
Kind of cheating but I'll go with Veteran of the Psychic Wars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGKNaIXtBZQ)- Blue Öyster Cult
