Hey, do you mind if I join? I'm new to the forums, and I'm looking to belong.

Username: ChipmunkGamingInc.

What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: Words cannot express my love for Dark Type. They sort of match my personality.

Your partners: Spike and Rex (Absol and Absol)

What Types rule: Just look at my signature. My Avatar. My "favourite Pokemon" list on my page. What on EARTH do you think? Here's a hint: DARK TYPES!!

Answer the current topic: Absol, my favourite Pokemon, is getting an EVOLUTION?!? If it's not a good one, so help me, I'll THROTLE whoever came up with that idea!! Other Dark-types? I agree, Mighyeyna and Wevile NEED a Mega Evolution. That, and Skuntank, Houndoom, a few others, and of course DARKRAI!! And the other Legendaries, too.

Edit: Okay, I looked it up, and whoever came up with the idea of "mega evolutions" had better thank the great Arceus that he's a genius. Because otherwise, I'd flatten him in a Dark-Type battle with his own creation!! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!! What cruel IRONY!!

Welcome to the club!! I really don't think alot of Legendaries should get Mega evolutions. Mewtwo was special cause it's in the most recent movie , or Movie 16, with Genescet. They're pretty powerful already so I don't think they need one.

Welcome to the club both of you guys!!

Sorry for the lack of posting here guys. We're way in a need of a new topic.

So alot of people said Karen was the most difficult of the Dark type specialist so I thought I ask this.

You and you partner Pokemon are in a battle with Karen. Using only those partner Pokemon , how do you defeat her team? Particularly, how do you defeat her Vileplume since it's the most difficult to defeat with it's typing?

I can see Mightyena getting a Mega Evolution. It looks awesome right now but is weak, so a mega evolution can make it look even cooler and give it a needed boost in battle.

If any, I'd say the ones that really need the boost. Like Mightyena, Sableye, Houndoom, etc. Absol didn't need the boost but it helps.

YES @ both of these posts. Mightyena deserves a mega form so much it hurts. It's one of those Pokémon that just cries out "I'm a badass, honest!" and yet he's never given a chance to shine from the awful stats and capabilities he was given. I would adore seeing a mega form of Mightyena and I think the boost would be long overdue for him, so let's keep our fingers crossed. A mega Sableye sounds horrid to fight and I've never liked the Pokémon much to begin with, but a mega Houndoom would be pretty amazing too - mostly for the same reasons as Mightyena haha. Absol was a good choice as he's a big fan favourite and the boost will hopefully propel him to being a great battler, but I think other Pokémon like the ones listed above could use the 'evolutions' a lot more.
 
Username: Radiance
What do you think of Dark-Type Pokemon: I think they're epic. They're probably my favorite type in Pokemon at the moment. They just have so many Pokemon that I like!
Your partners: Weavile, Spiritomb
What Types rule: Dark-type Pokemon rule in powerful Pokemon. They have some of the most powerful Pokemon.
Answer the current topic: Defeat Vileplume using non dark-type moves, and use moves that will do serious damage to it!

This isn't that good.. I wish I could write this a little better but oh well.. :(

Welcome Radiance!You're answer is fine either way!

Anyone else care to answer the new topic? Or should I just make a new one?
 
To be honest, I've never played Gen. I or HG/SS. I've looked up her team, and I went Holy Wow!! Whoever at Game Freak decided that it was a good idea to give a Dark type Trainer a Ghost type Pokemon has another thing coming!!>:) Also, a Grass/Poison combo isn't the easiest to beat. Here I was, naive little me, thinking that the greatest Dark type Pokemon Master of all time was Sidney from Generation III, but no. Oh, no. My role model is now Karen. What is it with her team that makes it so hard to beat? Here's my analysis:

Using only my partner Pokemon, I can easily take out her Umbreon seeing as it's a solid Dark type. However, the Umbreon can also easily take out my Absol, assuming that they are both the same level, and we both use non-Dark type moves.
Then we have her dreaded Vileplume. Honestly, I don't see why it's so hard to defeat. You have no disadvantage against the combination, and no advantage either. The other way around, is the same result. That Vileplume and has no advantage/disadvantage against you. Then again, we don't know it's stats, so it's Defense could be extremely high.
I'll skip her Murkrow and her Houndoom since they'd both be pretty easy to beat with a Dark type Pokemon.
Gangar. Why would a DARK TYPE POKEMON MASTER have a GANGAR on her team? We, as the challenger, have an elemental advantage over it, and it has no advantage over us!! Easy out. Plain and simple.

On an unrelated note, does ANYBODY know what Gangar's English name is?? I CAN'T FIND IT!! I have to translate all of the Japanese names to English, and it takes forever to find it sometimes.

*~Maelstrom~*
 
Aaaaaah Drank Types! (Fun fact: igloo is actually a Zorua, and pokedude is a zoroark. They are disguised as humans.)

Username: igloo9201 (because this is igloo. TheTorraRegion is, of course, four people. Pokedude may also join this.)
What do you think of Dark-Types: I think they are strong, and they look very cool. *licks paw proudly*
Partner Pokemon: Nero (male Zorua), Bicho (male Mightyena)
PS Dark-Types rule! *pats myself on the back* hehehe, this his a true statement. ^^

It's Gengar , simple as that. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gengar_(Pokémon) I'm guessing the country you come from uses the Japanese names?

Yeah that makes sense. XD Ok updating OP now.

But anyway, we're in a need of a new topic since it seems no one was interested in answering that last one. D: Hopefully this topic gets more love.

Which Dark type would you say you have used the most , whether be it in your in-game party or competitive teams?


I don't do competitive battling so I'll answer from an in-game perspective. I would say either Absol or Umbreon for me. I've played Emerald at least 3-5 times and Sapphire once so far and in each or almost each of those I've used an Absol in my team. It's not the best stat-wise but I just thinking it's a cool looking Pokemon and I've always formed teams around looks over stats and how good they are in battle. I might use an Absol again in X and Y cause it's new Mega-evolution gives it the boost it needed and Magic Bounce is a good ability for Absol.

Umbreon I've used in almost every Gold and Cyrstal playthough and in my HeartGold and Black 2 playthrough. I just really like it as much maybe more than Absol and it's one of the best Eeveelutions.

How about you guys?

I believe mine is Mightyena and Hydreigon. My early competitive stages didn't take heed to IVs so I obliviously went and breed numerous Deinos w/ Dark Pulse without knowledge of what IVs it had as I keep finding a stronger Pokemon to use. Mightyena, in every Hoenn game I played or will ever play I will start with a Poochyena.
 
My most used Pokemon is currently Umbreon. I honestly don't do a ton of competitive battling either, but I have my team in case I feel like a challenge.

I haven't been able to battle competitively yet, so I'll do an in-game as well.

I'd have to as Mightyena! I love wolves, so I always try to have a Mightyena on my team. I have one on Sapphire ad HG.

I think that Dark type Pokemon were meant to kick butt. They all just look like they're gonna murder you in your sleep, even Vullaby does! I mean, all of them have epic unique designs. EVERY. LAST. ONE.

In my Black game, I had my first Dark type enter the Hall of Fame which was Kiara, a Liepard. I traded her over to my Black 2 game and I still use her. Then my other partner was my Zoroark named Meema, she's a sweeper, and she loves me. She is the Zoroark that is Black 2.

Dark types rule!!! andwatertypesilikethemtoo

I've definately used Murkrow and Weavile the most, though neither have them have ever entered my Hall of Fame. I used Murkrow and Weavile in Platinum, HeartGold, Black and Black 2.
