~Darkness Falls~ *Dark Type Pokemon Fan Club*

[Wicked3DS]

Have you ever used it in-game or competitively?

Nope, never.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?

It's okay, it doesn't really do much for me good or bad.

If you could change Liepard in anyway what would you change?

I feel like it could look a little more intimidating, like a Dark-type should.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form?

Not a huge fan of the color honestly.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution?

There's many others that I want Megas for first, so I'm gonna say no.

Other thoughts?

Liepard is okay. It's definitely not one of my favorites, but it's really not terrible either I suppose.

Answer any current or past topic:

just gonna quote since these opinions align pretty closely to my own and i have pretty much nothing else to add lol.

Umbreon is my fave dark type. And probably within my top 10 faves of all time. I generally always end up with 3 or 4 every gen i can.
Behind him would probably be Bisharp and Houndoom as far as dark types go.

Have you ever used it in-game or competitively? - Nope and I probably won't. It's fast, but it is also very weak.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design? - For a leopard Pokemon, it's cute and I think it looks cool.

If you could change Liepardin anyway what would you change? - Who's Liepardin? I know it's a typo, and I'm just playin', but I would give it a bit more defense and special defense.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form? - I like it, but I honestly like the normal Liepard more.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution. - I do think it could use one to definitely help it competitively.

Other thoughts? - Not any that I can think of.

@Dedenne1, I love the whole Splatoon thing you've got going on!

Have you ever used it in-game or competitively?
No, I want to, but I just never have got around to it.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
I think it's pretty good for a cat-like Pokemon. I don't find it to be any better or worse than other designs.

If you could change Liepard in anyway what would you change?
I don't think anything needs to be changed about it.

What are your thoughts on its shiny form?
I'd totally rock that on my team.

Do you think it deserves a mega evolution.
No.

Other thoughts?
It's not that I dislike it, it's just that I've never used or wanted to use it. It's a cute Pokemon, but I just don't have any experience with it. Some day I will though. The next time I do a dark-type monotype run, I'll definitely include it on my team.

Dark Type Pokemon of The Week

Mega Gyarados
Mega Gyarados, The Atrocious Pokémon. In ancient literature, there is a record of a Gyarados that razed a village when violence flared. Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage. They say that during past strife, Gyarados would appear and leave blazing ruins in its wake. Once it begins to rampage, a Gyarados will burn everything down, even in a harsh storm.
​

Possible Questions:
Have you ever Gyarados' mega in-game or competitively?
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
If you could change Mega Gyarados anyway what would you change?
Did you expect him to have a dark type mega?
Do you think the water/dragon typing would be more appropriate for gyarados' mega?
Other thoughts?

Ya we're still skipping comparison for like idk a week or something i got most of it done just need some questions so this will be our first mega discussion lets see how it goes!

Whooo adding you now!

My opinion on liepard is kinda the same as panchams although i must say i do like the design liepard has and i think its a fitting dark type buuuuuut its pretty weak and has a low attack and defense so maybe a mega might give it alittle more power.

Great another mistake because you know i do that in like every POTW :P

@Dedenne1, I love the whole Splatoon thing you've got going on!

Thanks :D

Edit: OP is edited with all memberlist updates as well as topics, potw, a complete list of all past topics (finally) and everything of coarse coding fixes which were oh so fun to do :D
Also theres gonna be some minor changes to the signup form as well :P

 

[Zoroark Cutie]

Great another mistake because you know i do that in like every POTW :P

And you made one on this as well. You put Liepard instead of Mega Gyrados beneath the picture X3. Anywho, here's my answers for Mega Gyardos.

nvm, you fixed it before I submitted my post X3

Have you ever Gyarados' mega in-game or competitively? - I think I have used Mega Gyrados on Showdown a few times through Randoms, but I can't remember, so just in case I'm going to say that I haven't.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design? - I'm okay with it. I like it over its regular form, but I'm just okay with it.

If you could change Mega Gyarados anyway what would you change? - Personally, and this is just me, but I think the ability it gets, Mold Breaker, should be different. I like Mold Breaker as an ability, but I think that it could've gotten another ability that would benefit it even more.

Did you expect him to have a dark type mega? - No I didn't. I thought Mega Gyrados was gonna be part Dragon type, even by its design, I never did expect it to be a Dark type.

Do you think the water/dragon typing would be more appropriate for gyarados' mega? - I think Dragon should've been part of its typing originally before its mega as it never did make sense to me on why it is part flying type, especially since it can only learn 1 flying type attack and it didn't even get a chance to learn it until gen 4. Besides that, I think Dark type benefits it as a mega more than if it were to be part Dragon type, in my opinion.

Murkrow, The Darkness Pokémon. Feared by many, it is believed to bring misfortune to all who see it at night. When it is chased, it lures it's attackers into a Dark Mountain with trails where the attacker will get lost. It hides any shiny objects it finds in a secret location. Murkrow and Meowth have been known to loot each other's stashes. It has even been known to steal rings off of women.
​

Possible Questions:
Have you ever Murkrow in-game?
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change?
Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games)
He steal rings off of women, he loots wild Meowth's stashes, and brings misfortune what else do you want?
Other thoughts?

Busy busy busy as usual and of coarse mega gyarados wasnt all that popular but i didnt expect it to be so here goes the prevolution of mafia bird!

And you made one on this as well. You put Liepard instead of Mega Gyrados beneath the picture X3. Anywho, here's my answers for Mega Gyardos.

Reason you love dark types: Hmmm where to start? Dark types have a lot of power competitively with their STAB moves. Knock Off in the newer gens is an excellent move that comes in at 105 power wielded by a dark type. Dark type mons come in a wide array of stat totals that make them good as walls, wall breakers, sweepers, you name it and I'm sure you could find a dark type to fit the role. I've always liked the sleek look the color black adds and dark type mons love to come in that color. They're also immune to psychic which is amazing when you think about it.

Answer any current or past topic:
Have you ever Murkrow in-game?: I used a Murkrow in gold version but I hardly remember it. It was a looong time ago XD
Whats your overall thoughts on its design?: I have a lot of love for it's design. Just look at that face. That glint in it's eye just let's you know this mischievous little fella' is going to be a career troll and that's cool with me. The icing on the cake is the mafioso feel his "hat" gives him. Overall a simple crow design done well so kudos to gamefreak.
If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change?: His shiny would be less magenta and more a deep purple.
Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games): I figured he would eventually. With the release of G/S I noticed that GF has the potential to show mons without evolutions some love with one. To be fair there are still plenty of mons without an evolution but I nailed it this time :D.
Other thoughts? It's a shame his design before his evolution was set in a way that doesn't allow him to be in LC.
Would you like quote notifications: Yes please.

 

[Zoroark Cutie]

Have you ever Murkrow in-game? - I probably wouldn't since I do like its evolution a bit more in pretty much every aspect.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design? - I like its design. I do like crows in general so that's a plus for it on my side, and I think the hat like design of its head is pretty cool.

If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change? - Currently nothing

Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games) He steal rings off of women, he loots wild Meowth's stashes, and brings misfortune what else do you want? - Nothing to be honest that I can think of.

Other thoughts? - I got no other thoughts on it.

 

[Otamajakushi]

Have you ever Murkrow in-game?
Oh yes, for sure! Murkrow is amazing! I've used one in Diamond and he did so much work. It was amazing.

Whats your overall thoughts on its design?
It's perfect. It's dark, menacing, and fierce. Everyone likes crows!

If you could change Murkrow anyway what would you change?
I wouldn't change anything.

Did you expect him to ever get an evolution? (If you played the original johto games)
Honestly? No. At the time, there was no guarantee of a future release, so there was no reason to expect it. The series was so very new so I cherished the adventures I had. However, I was very pleased when Honchkrow came to the scene.

He steal rings off of women, he loots wild Meowth's stashes, and brings misfortune what else do you want?
A partridge in a pear tree.

What other types that have not been paired with dark types do you hope to see or expect to see?

I expect to see a Bug/Dark type. Look at that marvelously perfect combination!

 

[Desert Stream~]

I want to see a fairy/dark (unless they already did that)that would be really cool to see how they did it.

 

[Adam Levine]

Were you happy with all the new Dark-types in Gen 6?

Yes. Especially Malamar. I'm also in love with the fact that many cool Mega Pokémon are Dark-types. Now if only there were a Mega Weavile...

Answer any current or past topic:
Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why?
I'll go with Darkrai. I just get some weird unsettling evil feeling about Darkrai.
Would you like quote notifications: Sure, why not? XD.

 

[Adam Levine]

Which Dark type is the most evil looking in your opinion? Why?

Malamat. Was there ever something that looked as menacing as a squid that's been turned upside-down that hypnotizes its prey and then wraps it up in tentacles?

No. No there hasn't. And look at that name.
MALamar.

Other Dark-types are almost as malicious in looks, like Darkrai, Hoopa Unbound, and Yveltal (sorry).

 

[Otamajakushi]

Were you happy with all the new Dark-types in Gen 6?

Yes, especially Greninja. I chose Froakie as my starter and was pleased to find out that its evolution was dark type.

 

[LordGrizz]

Were you happy with all the new Dark-types in Gen 6?
I guess for the most part yes. There really weren't all that many new dark types added in 6th gen so I guess I could break it down.

Greninja: Badass I like the whole shinobi theme even if the tongue scarf seems kinda goofy.
Pangoro: Not your little brothers kung fu panda, and thats fine with me :D.
Malamar: Ehh it's ok but it's design just didn't pop to me. Inkay as a side note pretty adorable though.
Yveltal: Sorta reminds me of something you'd see in a Final Fantasy game which works for me.
Mega Gyarados: I was actually kinda surprised that Gyarados got a mega and went dark instead of dragon. The designs cool I just didn't think it would get a dark typing though I guess the current crop of water/dark types weren't up to par in gamefreaks mind.
