Ive been thinking about possible future types. I wanted to do this by analysing the current types. However i know that Dark is actually called evil in Japanese and i wonder, if there are more sloppy transations. I need the exact translations to figure out if there is any logic in the way Gf creates types.

Dark type is the only anomaly and it's not really a mistranslation. The word 悪/aku does mean bad/evil, but in most contexts, it's very similar to "dark". You know, like "dark intent" would be the exact same as "evil intent" or "malicious intent".

It's a good localization, even if the translation wasn't 1:1.
