Did you think that it having a
weakness to fairy was a good
decision on GFs part?


I think they did a job well done on that. it annoys me when i battle a Sableye 'cause of its typing. but when fairy type exist, they've become less frightening and the fact hitting it with its weakness became not much of a hassle.

Reason you love dark types: One of my most Fav types. specially gen 5 darkies looking so cool
3 partner pokemon: Bisharp,Krookodile and Hydreigon

Which Generation of Pokemon do you
think introduced the best Dark types
so far?


For me, its gotta be Generation 5. they made many Dark types with awesome sub types in that said generation.
Welcome to the Club Raiimeister!
I too think that Gen 5 definately introduced some of the best dark types so far only gen 3 could rival it but i love Krookodile and Zoroark and great choices on partners!

I didnt notice that we are due for a new topic so ill try this one but i am running out haha
Do you always use a dark type on your ingame team? Is it a necessity to always have one? If you dont what type do you use instead of dark or is there a poke you use thats not a dark type but can learn dark type moves?

Discuss!

Edit: I also updated the member list and such so all new members check if your on there and if not just reply saying your not and ill add you on there.

Also if you got a name change in the last year if you could just add that in your next post saying that your name on the member list is still your old one thatd be great and ill get the list fully updated! Thanks :)

Edit: Also i added a small little section for the next upcoming topic and potw moreso for me but its under a spoiler if you are curious but do not answer the topic until its posted but there are two pokes who are up for the next POTW (Greninja and Spiritomb) so if you wanna just say what poke you rather have as potw thats fine! And next POTW is next week friday or saturday so discuss the current topic till then and welcome our new members if you havent already! :)

Throughout the game so far I've consistently kept my Shiftry in my party @ pretty much all times. However, I do not believe that it is a necessity to always have one. I really enjoy Dragon-Type pokemon as a secondary favorite. Such as Salamence or Dragonite.

Do you always use a dark type on your ingame
team?
No, but i use them more than often 'cause of their coolness

Is it a necessity to always have one? Hmm, not really

If you dont what type do you use instead of dark or
is there a poke you use thats not a dark type but
can learn dark type moves?
I use Ghost. Gengar to be specific x] it can learn Dark Pulse which gives a strong damage that using it as a STAB isn't that necessary anymore 'cause Gengar is a Monster on what its doing.

Not always no, but I like to try whenever possible. Tyranitar is a great addition to any team :)

Is it a necessity to always have one?

No, I don't think so. Dark type's strengths can be covered by more easily accessible Pokémon in most games, so I don't think they're necessary, but they're definitely a great addition.

Is there a poke you use thats not a dark type but can learn dark type moves?

Hmm, there's a few I suppose, but my Pokémon of choice would have to be Gengar. People have already said why, and for the most part I agree :)

Although I love dark types, I have to say they're neither the most easily accessible Pokémon nor the most versatile, and it's a shame there aren't too many of them :/

Do you always use a Dark-type on your ingame team

Depends on the game, there have been some games where I used a Dark-type. I know my first team in X had two together, Pangoro and Greninja, as well as the countless times I used Skuntank in my Sinnoh games, and also a Scrafty I used in my Black 2 postgame before the unthinkable happened.

Dark Type Pokemon of the Week

Greninja, The Ninja Pokémon. It creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two. It appears and vanishes with a ninja’s grace. It toys with its enemies using swift movements, while slicing them with throwing stars of sharpest water.


Possible Questions:

Have you ever used it competitively or in game?

Whats your overall opinion on Greninja?

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Greninja?

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change?

What do you think of its hidden ability Protean?

Other thoughts?


The current topic is still up for discussion if you missed it I'll also be answering now as well.

Do you always use a Dark-type on your ingame team
Not always it depends on the dark types native to the region and whether theyre good or not unless i can find a substitution.

Is it a necessity to always have one?
No theres other types although they tend to be handy

Is there a poke you use thats not a dark type but can learn dark type moves?
Id usually use a poke that has jaw and fang moves so it could learn crunch but ive recently also been using Gengar a lot often in place of a dark type :)

Yaaaaaaaassss.

Have you ever used it competitively or in game?

Sadly no, as I chose Delphox in X and haven't done another playthrough. I will definitely choose it if we get another game with Kalos in it.

Whats your overall opinion on Greninja?

It's very cool looking and a great mixed attacker. It's also very good in Super Smash Bros. :P

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Greninja?

I like it a lot. The tongue is a bit weird, but it's a funny quirk at least.

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change?

I'd probably make it faster and a bit more tough looking, but there's not much I can really think of to change.

What do you think of its hidden ability Protean?

It's pretty cool, but it can be a little OP at times.

Have you ever used it competitively or in game?
No, i always choose other dark type Pokemons.But i'm thinking Why not to give it a try?

Whats your overall opinion on Greninja?
It is very useful in the games with the ability to change its type and mixed combo attacks that made him so powerful Pokemon.

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Greninja?
Its design is little bit cute and even scary.Its hand and legs are like frog hands and legs but a little weird :/

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change?
I would make him a scary with more arms and fairy/dark type look.

What do you think of its hidden ability Protean?
As i stated above its ability to change its type give him a major boost in the games which make him a strong Pokemon.

No, I don't. They're often not obtainable early in the game and I've formed my final team often very quickly. I think Honchkrow in Diamond is one of the only dark Pokémon I've used on my team.
I'm pretty sure none of the types are types you have to have on your team, as long as your team has a decent amount of diversity, it's fine to play with.
A Pokémon with a dark type move is always a good use against ghosts, which resist the standard normal type moves, and psychic, which can often do a lot of damage if you don't take them out quickly. Luckily there are many Pokémon learning Bite in low levels.

POTW: Greninja
I haven't used it yet, as I haven't played the sixth generation. (In my first playthrough I would probably pick Fennekin.) Ninjas are always awesome and Greninja is no exception. It has a rare type combination and the ability to throw water as shurikens is really cool. I'm not a fan of it's Protean ability, it will instantly make it lose its cool dual type upon using an attack. I'd rather have that seen as Kecleon's unique ability, because it's chameleon changing types.
If it would get a Mega, I see it in a darker shade of blue, nearing black, and having a cape or a cloak.

Also if you got a name change in the last year if you could just add that in your next post saying that your name on the member list is still your old one thatd be great and ill get the list fully updated! Thanks :)

Not always, there are a lot of different pokémon that can learn plenty of Dark-type moves. I usually make up my team as I go along so I don't really use any type as a counterpart to the Dark-type. It's just more fun that way.

POTW: Greninja
I like it in Smash 4 a lot, even after all the nerfs to it. I haven't really used it in the games, as I've only really done one playthrough of X/Y and I picked Fennekin in that one. Ninjas are cool though, right?

actually i think ninjas are overrated but still

Yeeeeeeee boy!

Greninja is awesome, and this time I'm gonna talk about it without prompts because imo they hinder 'conversation' whatever the hell that is! (Lmao)

Greninja was recommended to me by a friend on the account of it being 'op'. Haha, we only play in-game, and not competitively so anything that makes the game ridiculously easy or broken is op to us. On account of it's hidden ability to make all moves STAB. I don't know if this is true or not, but hey. I picked Froakie and had a breeze. It's such a fun Pokémon to use, and I just overall love its concept. I have to say though, I expected some of the moves to look a little better in game haha, but that's besides the point. My Greninja helped me beat the E4 easily and soloed the Fire E4 (the name of whom I don't remember don't hurt me). So yeah. Awesome Pokémon, awesome POTW :D

I agree it is pretty op nonetheless an awesome Pokemon though! I like its ability it's pretty good in competitive battling but I don't find that it fits him as a Pokemon as said above I think it defianately is better for kecleon.

So I guess we are due for a new topic then huh? Well here's one I've been saving for awhile since my friend asked me it last week.

Do you think we should have another dark type legendary? If so what typing would it have? And what purpose or special powers would be fitting for it to have in game?

Yes, I do. I think we should have a Dark/Fairy type legendary introduced, possibly in a sequel of Pokemon X and Y to showcase the differences and similarities between Xerneas and Yveltal. It would be able to bring life to things and Pokemon as well as take it away at will, depending on the circumstance that the situation calls for. It would also be able to communicate telepathically with trainers like Ash in a movie for example.

So Since the current topic is alittle slow i guess its time for a new POTW!
Dark Type POTW

Shiftry, The Wicked Pokémon. By flapping its leafy fan, it can whip up gusts of 100 ft/second that can level houses. It lives quietly in the deep forest. It is said to create chilly winter winds with the fans it holds. It was feared as a forest guardian. It can read the foe's mind and take preemptive action. 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.

Pretty cool poke right? So lets get to some questions!

Have you ever used it competitively or in game?
(If you havent why seriously why haha)

Whats your overall opinion of Shiftry?

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Shiftry?

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change?

Do you think its movepool is large enough? Is there any moves that you think Shiftry should be able to use?

Other Thoughts?

Hmm, Shiftry. I'm now reminded of Bruschetta from Marriland's Omega Ruby Wedlocke all over again.

Shiftry is interesting with its Grass/Dark type combination, which sadly doesn't benefit well given all the weaknesses that come with it (7 of them, ouch) but it does have some strong offensive power on both ends, plus it does learn some really strong moves like Leaf Blade, which is often a great physical move of choice for Grass-types. Being the first evolution line to learn Extrasensory as well is another standout for it, and I do love how it's based on a tengu. It makes for such a cool design.

I've never used Shiftry, it just never totally appealed to me. It's not a bad Pokémon by any means and its design is alright, but I just never really cared for it much.

Have you ever used it competitively or in game?

Nope, I just never really had the desire to.

Whats your overall opinion of Shiftry?

Not amazing, but not bad either, it's above average for me.

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Greninja?

It's very unique I must say, it's just not totally my thing.

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change?

Not really sure, I never thought about it before.

Do you think its movepool is large enough? Is there any moves that you think Shiftry should be able to use?

It has a pretty good movepool, so I don't think it really needs a whole lot more.

A dark type legendary would always be nice, but as we had Yveltal in the previous generation already, I don't feel we need one as box legendary. Side legendaries rarely have a real story focused around them sadly.

Whats your overall opinion of Shiftry? It's a nice Pokemon with a good movepool and unique typing, but because of its typing it is also really easy to beat in battle.

Whats your opinion of the design and appearance of Shiftry? I think its design looks cool, especially because it is based on a Tengu. I like how its hands are grass fans and its hair is long and white.

If you were to give it a mega, what would you change? I would make its hair turn black, its eyes turn red, longer hair, its fan hands have several more, sharper leaves around it, and the skin tone of is body is a darker color.

Do you think its movepool is large enough? Is there any moves that you think Shiftry should be able to use? I think its movepool is quite good. I don't believe that it should get any more moves to use since it already has a wide assortment to choose from.

It looks intimidating. but i don't see it being a part Dark type. it looks like Grass/Ice (or Grass/Ground?) for me x] but still, pretty cool and unique typing pokemon :) be careful on bug stuffs though lol about movepool, i think its fair enough and adding more is unnecesarry. but if GF wants more bright future for that, why not :D
