Hypothetically, if not, impossible...Umbreon could make a part-electric type. The rings around its body glow in the dark when its in danger or smells fear, and lights up when it senses something. I think with those rings, they could produce a bit of electrical power, maybe a few electrical moves.

Well I meant Pokemon that weren't Dark types already to get an extra typing and become part Dark or their typing would change and be Dark and whatever other typing they may have. So like Lucario being changed to Steel/Dark or Fighting/Dark instead of Fighting/Steel or Luxray being Electric/Dark instead of just Electric. But the idea of Umbreon being Dark/Electric sounds cool and I like that idea of using its rings on its body to produce electricity. Really neat. :)

I'm Mightyena too apparently.

It somewhat describes me. But not entirely. Here's an idea. Everyone should take this quiz and post the results. This might be the new topic just not sure on that. But post your results here anyway!

This describes me in some ways, other personality traits I never knew I really had. But I guess this is who I truly am as a dark type- an Umbreon. I don't know what to think of it honestly, while there are good qualities I'm going "Do I really do those sorts of things?", nevertheless the quiz was fun to do. n_n

I'm Umbreon which is surprising but in a good way. Cuase I like Umbreon.

But did anyone else find that quiz extremely depressing?

I do, but not really extremely. It was all dark-type in its essence. Plus, some of the choices were so perfect you just had to answer them. not to mention the last choice in every question.

Treecko May 6th, 2013 6:32 PM

I did , but it was supposed to be cause Dark type aren't really the happiest type ever so I expected it to have some depressing questions.

Anyway new topic anyone?

ナギ May 10th, 2013 10:55 AM

wow, i didn't expect to see this club still alive! awesome!
yes, i am in fact already a member, but my last posts was somewhere in JANUARY 2012. my god.

in any case I HAVE RETURNED! and i did the test as well. i'm Weavile, even though i made sure to avoid any answer that explicitly mentioned ice... guess i'm just that cold a person.

as for topics, i'm sorry, i couldn't be bothered to answer all the topics i missed since then, so this will have to do.
DARKIFY A POKEMON:
the first pokemon that comes to mind for me is Granbull... simply because it's much too evil-looking not to be a DARKtype. but apart from that nothing comes to mind right now.
apart from that, when i first saw Lucario i seriously thought it was a DARK/FIGHTINGtype, rather than
FIGHTING/STEELtype. but oh well.

FAVOURITE DARKtype SPECIALIST?
Grimsley alllll the way.

also, could i have my partner Sableye's nickname changed into Stitch? hehe..

Oh wow that long ago. I can't believe this club's alive myself either.

I like the idea of Granbull being part Dark. I mean it's sinister looking so and looks like it could of been Dark/Normal which is a typing that needs to exist imo.

Ooh here's a topic:

If you could make a move Dark, which one would it be ? Explain.



I'm serious running out of ideas for topics.

And of course I can change your Sableye's nickname for you. :3

ナギ May 10th, 2013 11:44 AM

i know! that's over a year. dear lord.
thank you for the nickname change! c:

DARKIFY A MOVE?
... the first one that came to mind for me was Dream Eater, but honestly that sounds more like it should be a GHOSTtype move rather than DARKtype. but i do think DARK fits better than its current PSYCHIC typing.
other than that, maybe Slash, but i'm really grasping at straws here. maybe i'll come up with something better later.

What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Dark types are tied for my favorite type. They are cool and mysterious, while possessing the offense in Pokemon like Weavile and Tyranitar, while also sporting defesive Pokemon, such as Mandibuzz and Umbreon.

Answer the current topic: Confuse Ray. It's the sort of move that just seems fitting of Dark type Pokemon. Maybe that's just me.

Zorogami May 11th, 2013 3:38 AM

Current topic: If you could make any (existing) Pokemon part Dark what would it be and why?

I'd probably make Luxray into an Electric/Dark type pokemon, for various reasons.
Luxray has a dark colored design, and he has that evil/dark expression on his face.
Also, it would be a new dual type, one I've been waiting for a long time now

THIS. i wholly agree. i honestly was really surprised when i had Luxray in Diamond and its Bite/Crunch DIDN'T get STAB! so disappointing. i hope they'll reconsider it, but it'll probably be left like this.

do you have any suggestions for moves that could/should be DARKtype?

Zorogami May 11th, 2013 9:11 AM

Yeah i totally agree with you, Bite/Crunch definitely fit Luxray and he should get STAB from them! I guess it's too late for a re-typing...too bad, he would have been perfect.

I actually read that and started to think, but i couldn't really come up with any good ideas :/
I guess Mean Look could be a dark type? Probably a bad example...
Or Perish Song? That's definitely an evil and obsucre move?!

Hmm, not sure if this is the current topic, but I thought I'd just go with the one in the first post. If you need me to answer a different one, I would be happy to do so. =)

~If I could make any pokemon a dark type, I think it would be a tie between Arbok, Seviper, and Luxray. They all just strike me as being part dark.

Mithel_Celestia May 12th, 2013 6:42 AM

Darkifying a pokemon was a rather old topic some weeks ago? its rather funny to see it discussed rather than the new one. Anyway, topics are constantly changing from one thing to another so I'll give one that gives you sometime to reflect:

What are the characteristics that makes a Dark type? What identifies a Dark type that gives them their type match up?

For my answer, Dark types are characterized as sly, sneaky, vicious and deadly. All the pokemon asigned to Dark types really speak it. For me the reason that Ghost, fear, is weak to Dark is that dark types can easily overwhelm fear aslong as they can ensure that nothing can scare them now, and that is by being sneaky, fast and unnoticable. Psychic's weakness and uselessness against Dark can also be seen by its unpredictability and constant change of mind to ensure that things are incheck and working.

Welcome to the club all of you guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been here much, it's just too hard to even think of things to talk about here anymore. :(

Mithel_Celestia suggested a new topic so.

What are the characteristics that makes a Dark type? What identifies a Dark type that gives them their type match up?



I think they're characterized by their mischievous personality and how sly and deadly they are. Other types like Ghost and Psychic types are fearful of them and feel they aren't as strong or powerful as they are and feel weak in comparison. They have the perfect creepy persona that make a lot of Pokemon tremble.

^That's the current topic guys, so for not updating it in weeks. ._.

DARKtype CHARACTERISTICS & MATCHUP?
i agree with everything posted so far; especially because the DARKtype is called the あく, 'Evil/Demon' type in Japanese, i think it's pretty sure that their cunning, sly and vicious is what they are renowned for, and is the exact image they're designed to fit. Seeing as how GHOSTtypes are even weak to DARK power, it just illustrates even more that this evil is stronger than just spirits of the deceased or haunted mansions...
however their cleverness has a weakness; it simply cannot deal with the idiocy of no-brain FIGHTING and BUGtypes. [/besticouldcomeupwith] {XD}

also, since i didn't post mine yet and it seems nobody else had Weavile as of yet:

Answer the current topic:

I think the characteristics of a Dark type are slyness, viciousness, and deadliness. Ghost types are weak against them because, while Ghosts inspire fear in most, the Dark is far more feared because of the unknown that may be in it. Psychic types' weakness may be because of the unpredictability of the Dark, and how it can change in a second.

Attachment 68416 Fits me pretty well, actually. I think Mightyena fits me better though. Or maybe a mix between the two...?

Welcome to the club Lady!


New topic: (A two parter!)

Do you think any new Dark-types for Gen VI will be revealed soon? Do you think any will be revealed at the presentation at E3?
