They are pokemon types. Pokemon can have up to two types. For you the numbers are pure abstractions.

> As Ryan noted it appears to be an index of 17 things where the right side may be nothing?   I also note that the right hand values also fit into 0-16 as a range.  I find myself intrigued in the same way I can be with word puzzles.  So far I think:
