So I am doing an analysis of Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokemon: Omega Ruby, and Xenoblade Chronicles. They're all very different games but on some level they all reach out to many of the same player types and this provides a fun way to contrast how they motivate and engage the players since they're all fantastic. As a time-saver I'm using Smash Bros characters to fill in blanks for me. This lead me from serious analysis to silly fun.
I'd like to share a bit of typing I did for Smash Bros characters based on the Pokemon types. Do you agree? Any thoughts on things I got wrong? Do you like any of my choices a bit too much?
