Username: LRachelR5 Nickname: Lucy Reason you love dark types: there is something misteryous about them and they are really fun to use 3 partner Pokemon: Zorua, Carvana, Umbreon. Answer any current topic: I think that it would be really cool to have another dark legendary pokemon because some see dark types as underated compared to other types. |

Anyways everyone be sure to check out: Sandile the current POTW The op (fixed from some issues with the memberlist as well as coloring not working well with fundamental) And im still looking for feedback on this: pokemon matchups bi-weekly? Yes no maybe? And why not answer this: Which dark type pokemon have people used the most? since sandile isnt as popular as some ill have this added as a current topic along with him :D |
Glad you like it Dedenne ^^
@Lrachelr5: Umbreon because it's my favorite. |
And im still looking for feedback on this: [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]pokemon[/COLOR][/COLOR] matchups bi-weekly? Yes no maybe?
I believe that's a good idea. I'm all for it. :) |
POTW: Sandile
Sandile has an interesting concept. The first type that comes in mind when you think about a crocodile would be water (or that may just be me). However, dark type fits well too, comparing Bite and Crunch with a crocodile's jaws. But ground... I don't know. Sandile looks cute and looks a lot better than Krookodile, whose color scheme makes it ugly in my opinion. I haven't used the Pokémon yet. Quote:
Which dark type pokemon have people used the most? For me that's Houndoom, which shouldn't be very surprising. Pokemon matchups bi-weekly? Yes no maybe? Yes! Hopefully that will work out better than the last time I had to schedule a match against Dedenne. |
What about Zorua? Umbreon is the best and cutest dark type. ^^

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week http://img00.deviantart.net/63c6/i/2012/115/8/3/houndour_is_on_fire_by_wolflinx-d4xjtp8.png Houndour Houndour, The Dark Pokémon, they hunt as a coordinated pack and communicate with each other using a variety of cries to corner their prey. This Pokémon's remarkable teamwork is unparalleled. Around dawn, its ominous howl echoes through the area to announce that this is its territory. Possible Questions: Have you ever used it competitively or in-game? Do you like it normal form or shiny form better? Whats your overall thoughts on its design? Maybe a little opinion on why houndoor was chosen to be the "dark" Pokemon? If you could change houndoor in anyway what would you change? Other thoughts? Still trying out this new system and i like doing them ever wednesday it works! Thanks everyone for weighing in im going to try a dark type vs. dark type next week comparing who you like better and why maybe who would win in and a battle, and what could be done to make the pokemon better. Sound good? |
Uh... Dedenne, the thing says Houndoor instead of Houndour, XD.... Also, below that it says Sandile instead of Houndour or Houndoom, and goes on to describe it as howling.... Which one is the Pokemon of The Week?? Houndour, Houndoom, or Sandile?? LOL...

Houndour
Have you ever used it competitively or in-game? Nope, never used it before Do you like it normal form or shiny form better? Shiny form definitely. It makes it look a lot cooler. :) Whats your overall thoughts on its design? It's nice. I like how it's based after a hellhound, and has the orange and black to back that up. Maybe a little opinion on why houndoor was chosen to be the "dark" Pokemon? Well I think Houndour and Houndoom were chosen to be dark types mainly because they're based after hellhounds, and are also partially colored black, so I guess that plays into it as well. If you could change houndoor in anyway what would you change? I would probably add a long bone to the top of his head that goes sideways and curls around his ears. Other than that, nothing. Other thoughts? None, other than that I love Pokemon that are based on dogs or cats, so Houndour is a favorite in my book. :) |
POTW: Houndour <3
I love Houndour and of course I have used it in-game, but not as much as I wanted. It's a shame the Pokémon is rarely obtainable early game. Even in its debut generation, gen II, you weren't able to find it prior the post-game part. It's not like it's a semi-legendary Pokémon or something. Anyway, yes, I love Houndour's design, a hellhound seems the perfect dark type to me. Combined with fire it gives a nice unique type combination. It's a great special sweeper with Flamethrower and Crunch in the early games and Crunch luckily being able to be replaced by Dark Pulse later on. Thanks everyone for weighing in im going to try a dark type vs. dark type next week comparing who you like better and why maybe who would win in and a battle, and what could be done to make the pokemon better. Sound good? Yes! ^^ |

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/0/0e/Darkrai.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140515053842 Darkrai Darkrai, The Pitch-Black Pokémon. It can lull people to sleep and make them dream. It is active during nights of the new moon. Folklore has it that on moonless nights, this Pokémon will make people see horrific nightmares. Possible Questions: Have you ever used it competitively or in-game? Whats your overall thoughts on its design? Did you ever go to fullmoon island? Do you consider Darkrai evil or good? If you could change Darkrai in anyway what would you change? What are your thoughts on his signature move Dark Void? Other thoughts? Remember Comparison is coming up next week dont miss it! Also be sure to check out the club feedback thread for an event soon to come. Id also like to thank all the members of the Dark Type club we've come a long way from a very weird op to a cool css one and from 7 members to over 20! Thanks for making the club what it is and for answering all those topics. The comparison will be late (sorry guys!) since school is busy. |
Darkrai
Have you ever used it competitively or in-game? Nope, never used it in-game, even though I started Pokemon with generation 4 and it's my favorite Dark type legendary... :) Whats your overall thoughts on its design? I just LOVE how it's designed. It's the nightmare Pokemon, and it looks like that too the way it's designed and has a red underbite mouth that can just suck up all the souls it needs to. :) Did you ever go to fullmoon island? No, not in generation 4 even though it was possible, I could never figure out how to since I was so young. I have captured a Darkrai in later generations though. :) Do you consider Darkrai evil or good? I don't consider Darkrai evil OR good. I consider it to be on its own agenda and fly solo. If someone wants to mess with it, you better watch out! But if someone wants to team up with it, I don't think it would mind... :) If you could change Darkrai in anyway what would you change? If Darkrai were to be given a legendary mega evolution I would simply add long, black, dark angel wings to its mega evolution as well as make its eyes turn red and give it sharper claws. And its typing would change to Dark/Flying type. :) What are your thoughts on his signature move Dark Void? I simply LOVE its move Dark Void cause its one of the best moves in the game that's used to put Pokemon to sleep, and it works very well for Darkrai and his lore. :) Other thoughts? Nope, other than it is still my favorite Dark type legendary, even above Yveltal.... :) |
Dark Type Bi-Monthly Showcase http://i.imgur.com/NWhNGLN.png Shiftry vs. Cacturne Shiftry, The Wickid Pokémon. It is a mysterious Pokémon that is said to live atop towering trees dating back over a thousand years. It creates terrific windstorms with the fans it holds which generate awesome gusts of wind at a speed close to 100 feet per second. The whipped-up wind blows anything away. It chooses to live quietly deep in forests. It can read the foe's mind and take preemptive action. Cacturne, The Scarecrow Pokémon. During the daytime, Cacturne remains unmoving so that it does not lose any moisture to the harsh desert sun. This Pokémon becomes active at night when the temperature drops. If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving. Coding is broken here dont mind me (if you see me say something) Lets Compare! Which dark type do you think has the best design and why? Who do you think might win in a battle? Which dark type would you choose if you had to? In your opinion do you think one is better than the other? Why? Are there specific moves that one can learn that may give them the advantage? Or does one just clearly have better stats? Which one is your overall favorite and why? Other Thoughts? Sorry for the lateness! I may be alittle slow on when i can and can't get the topics up cause y'know school and all but what do you guys think of the first pokemon showcase? Hope it looks good and all especially since Darkrai wasnt too popular. Also i picked two dark types that have typing in common to make the first comparison alittle easier to determine. |
Which dark type do you think has the best design and why?
Shiftry, it's a bit more unique, even if it is kinda weird. Who do you think might win in a battle? Shiftry, it's faster and gets X-scissor while Cacturne only gets Pin Missile. Which dark type would you choose if you had to? Shiftry as it's a bit better in battle for my play style and I like it more anyway. In your opinion do you think one is better than the other? Why? Are there specific moves that one can learn that may give them the advantage? Or does one just clearly have better stats? Cacturne has better attacking stats while Shiftry has better Speed (they have equal defenses) and Shiftry gets X-scissor while Cacturne does not, which I think gives it a major advantage. Which one is your overall favorite and why? Shiftry because it is a bit more versatile than Cacturne. |
Username: Otamajakushi
Nickname: Tamama Reason you love dark types: They are some of the coolest looking Pokemon, and have some of the coolest move animations. 3 partner Pokemon: Zoroark, Greninja, and Scrafty Answer any current topic: (Shifty vs Cacturne) Which one is your overall favorite and why? I like Shifty more, only because I like Nuzleaf a lot. To be honest, it's hard to pick one over the other! Which dark type gym leader/elite four member is your favorite? Grimsley in Unova. I really liked his entire team a lot, especially since he had a Scrafty and Bisharp. What is your all time favorite dark type and why? Scrafty! The first dark type I caught in Unova was a Scraggy and it was love at first sight. What is your favorite secondary typing for a Dark-type? Fighting, because I also really love fighting-type Pokemon. Do you always use a dark type on your ingame team? Is it a necessity to always have one? Absolutely! Unless I'm doing a themed run where that's not possible, my main runs usually include a dark type. Here is a collage of my partner Pokemon I made: http://i.imgur.com/iKg8QWw.png |
Shiftry vs. Cacturne
Which dark type do you think has the best design and why? This one goes to Shiftry. While I think it's ugly and I don't get its feet, Cacturne looks very plain and boring as its just a cactus in man-shape with a hat (which kinda makes sense as it's apparently a scarecrow, which I only just learned). Who do you think might win in a battle? Shiftry can learn X-Scissor, ×4 to Cacturne. GG. Which dark type would you choose if you had to? Cacturne, as I'm not really a fan of Shiftry (even when it won in above two categories). In your opinion do you think one is better than the other? Why? Are there specific moves that one can learn that may give them the advantage? Or does one just clearly have better stats? They're both offensive Pokémon, while Cacturne can learn some handy tanky moves and Sand Veil can help a lot. There's not much difference in their stats, but Shiftry has a bigger movepool which gives it the advantage. Which one is your overall favorite and why? Still being stubborn and saying Cacturne. |
Dark Type Pokemon of The Week http://pre07.deviantart.net/3ed8/th/pre/f/2013/202/d/b/deino_by_rabid_fangirl212-d6eh7jx.png Deino Deino, The Irate Pokémon. Lacking sight, it's unaware of its surroundings, so it bumps into things and eats anything that moves. Their bodies are covered in wounds Possible Questions: Have you ever used it in-game? Whats your overall thoughts on its design? What are your thoughts on its typing? Does it seem like a dark type? If you could change Deino in anyway what would you change? Other thoughts? Feedback Questions: What'd you guys think of the Pokemon Comparison? Should it continue Bi-Monthly? What can i do to make the Comparison and POTW more interesting and better looking? How can i run the club better? Any suggestions or events you think we should host? How does the OP look? Theres been some issues recently but i think everything is good now right? (What can we improve in the OP? Do you like the links to current POTW or no?) Other thoughts? Spoiler:
