I would like to join the club, Dark types are my top favorite type.

Username: Mithel_Celestia
What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: most of the Dark type pokemon designs are very cool, the type itself is very mysterious and that is what I love about them.
Your partners: main partner, and battler, A Mightyena going by the name "Karimlan"(which means "darkness" in tagalog.), a second partner, if I have to choose, is a Zoroark, no special name though, but I like it. the moment they introduced it, i knew it was born for greatness XD.

What Types rule: Dark is at the very top, very mischievous and annoys the filling out of others.

Answer the current topic:
Basically, a region's lack of Dark-Type Gyms may be due to some of their move's annoyance and unfairness, if you say it like that, Taunt prevents status moves, Torment restricts the moves used, Payback reaches a base Power of 100, just by falling behind of the others.

That may be one of the reasons Dark type specialist are one of the Elite Four, however, Dark Gyms may be made to be a little easier, just for the the main storyline; or,
It could be made into a post-storyline Gym, no one said that every Regions must only have 8 Gyms, Gary even has 10 badges in the early season of the anime and Barry has some Badges that aren't even in the games.

The Idea of post-storyline Gyms in a game sounds cool and may give someone something to do after defeating the Champion, like HGSS.
Great names. This is a sort of late response welcome to the club!
I would want to join this club, as Dark Types are in a tie for my most favourite type.

Username: Umbr30n (Although I usually get called "Arron" in PMs, which is my real name).
What do you think of Dark Type Pokemon: I think it is a really cool Type and that it is one of the most Real Types (What I mean is, what they do) since they lurk around at night.
Your Partners: An Umbreon going by the name "Shadow" and a Tyranitar going by the name "Arron".

What Types Rule: Dark is in a tie with Fire and Dragon for the best. Although, in most occasions, Dark Types Rule.

Answering the current topic: I think there are no Dark Gym Leaders because of the combination of Taunt + Sucker Punch, which makes Sucker Punch an always hitting move for a set amount of turns. Plus they are VERY powerful with other combinations such as Curse + Payback, or even other combinations such as Pursuit + Roar.

Plus they can have an Umbreon with these moves:

-Mean Look.
-Dark Pulse.
-Rest.
-Toxic.
=Win.
Welcome to the club good sir!

Edit: Both of answered the wrong current topic. It's ok though , you're still in the club but you should answer the current one

Make the best moveset for Darkrai.

Why do you think a Dark-type Gym Leader doesn't exist yet and do you think there's gonna be one in Gen VI?
Hopefully, it's long overdue. >:( It would be interesting to see what gym design it has too.

Create a team for a Dark-Type Champion. In other words, what Pokémon you think a Dark-type Champion would have?
My team line-up would be Houndoom, Drapion, Honchkrow, Tyranitar, Krookodile, and Hydriegon, preferably in that order.


I think having two pseudo-legendaries (Tyranitar and Hydriegon) would be epic, hahaha.

Make the best moveset for Darkrai.
I might not be the best moveset strategist out there, but I'm gonna try. X)

Hmmm...Darkrai moveset, every darkrai seems to have, at least, a sleep-inducing move, nightmare and Dream Eater. Its very hard to make very original moveset really. Anyway, I'll think up mine:

Dark Void
Nightmare
Dream Eater
Dark Pulse?

Sorry if this may seem...very...unoriginal, but its hard ok, making original movesets. i tried my best.

Dark Void, I really don't know what that move does (You see, I don't play Gen V Games) but it should be a good addition to it.
Dark Void has the same effect as Hypnosis, only with more accuracy.

Scraggy/Scrafty are definitely my least favorite Dark-type Pokemon! It's design is horrible - some skinny lizard-like creature with oversized pants. Nothing about Scraggy/Scrafty looks "dark", meaning not one feature of their appearance makes them look like a Dark-type Pokemon.

Sorry to all the Scraggy/Scrafty fans out there, but IMO this Pokemon is one of the worst!

I don't really like the Mightyena line because I thought there should be another evolution to it XD. Maybe also because of it's moveset, which should have more Types of Moves, and maybe they should add some more design to it. Still, it's got a cool design otherwise, but it still is quite a good Pokemon.

Geez, I haven't been here in a while.

I have to agree with Umbr30n and say Poochyena/Mightyena are the worst Dark-types. I mean, they have no effective moves and terrible stats.

I mean, they were a major disappointment for me.

To answer the topic myself, I'd say my least favorite is Purrloin/Liepard. I used one on my White run thinking it might be a good Pokemon. Ended up being a big disappointment. Not extremely high stats , hard to train, and would easily faint.

I agree with Hikari/Umbr30n on Poochyena/Mightyena. It looks cools, but it's moves and stats are terrible. So those tow get my second least favorites.

Unlike some people here I actually like Scraggy/Scrafty. Sure it looks nothing like the other Dark types, but it's part Fighting too and that's probably what they were going for when designing them. I honestly think they're design is cool looking , love their hoodlum like appearance. Plus Scrafty is a great fighter imo.

Vullaby/Manibuzz is decent, but that's why I picked White, cause I love Braviary more. It's ten times better and more powerful. It's my favorite Flying-type now cause it's so BA.

Mandibuzz ewww. It's just a foul Pokémon in general :( It looks pretty much like it's going to ambush you and pick apart your corpse at any given moment, it has a complete feeling of evil surrounding it, it has a foul move set, and it's just not a nice Pokémon at all in my opinion. If I had the choice I'd be as far away from this Pokémon as physically possible at all times so yeah, not a favourite of mine hehe. x3

^ Yeah Vullaby/Manibuzz are atrocious and ugly designed.

Speaking of design this is a good time to bring up a new topic. Similar to the last question.

Which Dark-type Pokemon you think has the best design?

Not your favorite, but which one you think is best/coolest design-wise. Though that may be your favorite as well. lol

Discuss!

I have to say Scrafty, Krookodile and Honchkrow cos I love how they are based on criminals.

They look badass and they have good stats to go with their awesome designs.

I love Krookodile's eyes cos they give it that intimidating look, Scrafty is one really good attacker and I love how Honchkrow raises its wing in its animated sprite. They really showcase the dirty tricks associated with the Dark-type.

My favourite Pokemon is Umbreon. Who had the best design was also Umbreon. It just looks BOSS, cool and cute all at the same time. It's Shiny Form is just very good, as the moon would have that kind of colour. As for Yellow, they may represent an eclipse - A moon blocking the sun. Umbreon's design can prove that it represents the moon and/or any kind of Eclipse. We have some information about Umbreon's design from Bulbapedia - "Umbreon stalks prey silently at night. As it awaits its victims' approach, the yellow rings on its body begin to glow. During the day, they blink on and off. They are often seen on roofs and in trees staring at the moon.". The Yellow Ring part is maybe to do with an Eclipse. But yeah, better not go off too far into the Umbreon subject, or else this post would be a little inadequate. So yeah, that's just my thoughts.

What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Not only are their designs amazing, they're about as badass as badass can get. Seriously, I wish for them to teach me in the art of badassery. Please.

Your partners: Mightyena and Sneasel
What Types rule: Obviously Dark types, I wouldn't be able to play a Pokemon game without them. I always have to have AT LEAST one in my team. But I also really like Fire types! Surprisingly enough, Houndoom and Houndour aren't my favorite Pokemon, but they're close!
Answer the current topic:

Which Pokemon do you think has the best design?

Oh wow, this is a big question...Hm. Well, I really like Mightyena's design! As said by Mithel_Celestia, I like how much it looks like a wolf. But you know...I really, REALLY like Weavile's design! I'm not really sure WHY I like its design so much, but I just do! ^_^

I am definitely joining a Dark type fanclub!! I simply must! I adore Dark types!
Username: Psystar63
What do I think of Dark-Type Pokemon: They absolutely rule! They have some of the best designs in the Pokemon world, and they are as dark as the night, like me.
Partner/s: Absol and Hydreigon
What types rule: Dark and Dragon types, which is why I totally owned Black with my Hydreigon!

Which Pokemon has the best design?
Absol obviously. In my opinion, it probably has the most unique looking design out of all pokemon. That white fur just beckons me to capture it and have it on my team. I like its title of being the 'Disaster Pokemon'. And Absol has awesome attack power. It's just a shame that its speed could do with some work. Still a great Pokemon nonetheless.

I have to say Scrafty, Krookodile and Honchkrow cos I love how they are based on criminals.

They look badass and they have good stats to go with their awesome designs.

I love Krookodile's eyes cos they give it that intimidating look, Scrafty is one really good attacker and I love how Honchkrow raises its wing in its animated sprite. They really showcase the dirty tricks associated with the Dark-type.
These are also so me of my favorite designs. Especially Scrafty and Krookodile. Krookodile is definitly my favorite Ground type because of it high stats plus it's ability Moxie increases it's attack everytime it knocks out a Pokemon making it a complete powerhouse. Same goes for Scrafty. It has a cool BOSS gangsta like design and is a powerhouse with it's Moxie ability.

My favourite Pokemon is Umbreon. Who had the best design was also Umbreon. It just looks BOSS, cool and cute all at the same time. It's Shiny Form is just very good, as the moon would have that kind of colour. As for Yellow, they may represent an eclipse - A moon blocking the sun.

The Yellow Ring part is maybe to do with an Eclipse. But yeah, better not go off too far into the Umbreon subject, or else this post would be a little inadequate. So yeah, that's just my thoughts.
Umbreon is my favorite Dark type too. And I agree with on design being but cool but cute and it's shiny form is my absolute favorite shiny.

I would say Mightyena. I love mightyena, one of the only pokemon that is the closest to looking like a Wolf. Others are Umbreon, Absol, Tyranitar, Hydreigon...I have long list of favourite Dark-Types by design.
Which Pokemon do you think has the best design?

Oh wow, this is a big question...Hm. Well, I really like Mightyena's design! As said by Mithel_Celestia, I like how much it looks like a wolf. But you know...I really, REALLY like Weavile's design! I'm not really sure WHY I like its design so much, but I just do! ^_^
I like Mightyena 's design as well though it's not my favorite, but it's still very cooling looking.

Absol obviously. In my opinion, it probably has the most unique looking design out of all pokemon. That white fur just beckons me to capture it and have it on my team. I like its title of being the 'Disaster Pokemon'. And Absol has awesome attack power. It's just a shame that its speed could do with some work. Still a great Pokemon nonetheless.

Ok well to answer the topic myself:
I also think Absol, along with Umbreon has the best design. The first time I saw it in Emerald I thought it was the coolest Pokemon ever. And as I said for Umbreon, it's my favorite Dark type and I love it's shiny.


Thanks! ^_^ Glad to be a part of the club~
No problem, any Dark type fan is welcomed here.

New topic soon maybe? I can't really think of one right now but anyone can come up with one.

Umbreon also has a cool design, and it's shiny form is in my top 10 of best shinies. I just love those bright eyes peering out of the darkness. Umbreon totally owns the night. But I just can't go past Absol's unique design!

If I may suggest a topic:

Which Dark-type Pokemon would make a good starter Pokemon?

It just popped up in my mind... :)
