What type would he be?

I was thinking Fire type. But then I was thinking Fire-type moves aren't always exclusive to Fire-types. Also, he is a giant turtle, which could mean he's a ground or water type. I was just kinda wondering this because of a forumfic I am writing on another site.

I'm going with pure Fire here. It doesn't seem like his shell has properties of either rock or steel, and although Bowser's been dumped into his own lava multiple times, he always survives and comes back.

I guess you could make an argument for Ground since sometimes he does cause earthquakes when he jumps up and down...

He's definitely part dragon, but the other type would be either fire, rock, or dark. I can't really decide which one fits him the best, because he has a lot of qualities of those three. I guess I can eliminate rock because he isn't exactly defensive. Granted, all rock Pokémon aren't defensive, Bowser is punchable without getting your hand hurt. I guess I'll go with dark, just because dragons - being dragons - are capable of breathing fire anyway. So, dragon and dark are his types! Dragon is his primary, and dark is his secondary.

Personally, I think it's Dragon/Fighting as the character is not a very defensive colour, although I guess it could learn a few fire and dark type moves.

Moves learn by level up.

Weird question x)
I think it would be Dragon/Fire type. But I can't imagine Bowser as a Pokémon... Bowser is Bowser, king of Turtle.
I'm gonna be a smart-A here, but Bowser is King of Koopas.

I'm pretty sure Bowser is Dark/Fire if here will ever be a pokemon. If he goes and captures Peach for no clear reason, Bowser probably has a dark intention......plus he has survived falling in lava ALL the times he does, except The New Super Mario Bros. for the DS.

Aside from having Fire Breath and for being evil, Bowser's attacks in Brawl are pretty much Dark- and Fire- related. So yeah, Dark/Fire. I can imagine his Dex entry would be like this (made it myself, don't steal :P):

Bowser, the Koopa King Pokemon.

Ever since the Mario series began, Bowser has had a long-standing feud with Mario and Luigi and is known to have always kidnapped their princess, Peach. In battle, Bowser uses its powerful claws and destructive fire to crush its opponents while using the tough shell on its back to block enemy attacks.

Yeah he'd definitely be dragon/fire since he's a DRAGON and he spits fire. He's a dragon because he is the Koopa king, and Koopa's are reptiles (typically turtles), and a fire breathing giant turtle with spikes comes close to a dragon imo.

He would either be Dark/Fire or Dragon/Fire. But like Yoshikkko said above, he does seem like a dragon and he breathes fire, so that is why I voted the latter.

Any, even combinations, of these types would probably seem fit: Fire, Dragon, and Dark. Like yoshi said, he spits out fire and lives in a, somewhat, fiery place. He looks like a wingless dragon tbh, and he kidnapped a Princess (somehow reminds me of the Ice King fufufufu).

A Dark/Fire type. He's evil in the Mario franchise. So I'd think he'd be a partial dark type in the Pokemon franchise to show this side of him. And he would be a partial fire type since he can breathe fire and whatnot.

Almost definantly Dragon/Fire (or Fire/Dragon). There's nothing really "Dark" about him, he's just evil. Any Pokemon can be evil, even a Blissy. It just depends on who its Trainer is- that's even a quote from Fire Red, paraphrased of course. But he does have Fire and Dragon components, so that's probably what he'd be. Maybe Fire/Fighting, Fire/Water, or Fire/Ground but unlikely.
