Remember when psychic was the evil type?
That was Poison. Psychic was always the autist type
>>59249853Different kinds of evil
>psychic>poison>some fighting monhaving dark be the "evil" type is a bit retarded when the 3 above work just fine as dark/bad types
>>59250875Autism isn't evil it's just a debuff. Leads to evil if it's not mitigated>>59251920People overrate the term Aku as Evil in Pokemon, it's closer to dark the same way hell is. You can have non-"""Evil""" hellish characters the same way you can have non-"""Evil""" Dark characters. That's why it's strong against Ghost, a lesser kind of ghoul
>>59249760No but I remember it being the strongest one
>>59251931Psychic was such a broken type, it made Normal a viable type in competitive because all the Fighting types had next to no coverage against Psychics
>>59251942Dude Fighting types weren't even good against Normal types which were its ONLY weakness. Of course Normal was gonna be cracked when the only things that resisted them were Rock/Grounds (lol Blizzard) or Fossils
Normies/company executives are right, even if Dark type is called “evil type” in Japan and some Pokémon kill people according to the Pokédex, Pokémon aren’t evil This is just some subversive idea 4chan/the internet wants to believe for… some reason. Even a Pokémon like Kyruem, which fucking eats people when wild and when commanded will fucking impale you with like 5 huge icicles, can be a respectable partner and best friend if trained right. People want to shape Pokémon to their own image when it’s always been about what the Devs, the companies that own Pokémon, and shareholders care about. And trust me, it ain’t marketable to have a Pokémon to be pure evil.
>>59250875>>59251927"Fiend" might have been a better term, at least as an accurate description.. "fiendish behavior" is probably the closest term to describe any given dark type.
>>59249760Psychic was nevee the evil type, in gen 1 Poison was the evil type (and arguably still is).
>>59251947>Even a Pokémon like Kyruem, which fucking eats people when wildBaseless story made by ignorant people
>>59251947>And trust me, it ain’t marketable to have a Pokémon to be pure evil.Giratina is doing fine despite being pokesatan
>>59251967Giratina is just Vegeta-brained. He's too violent and strong and wants to flex and Arceus called her a bad girl
I have always seen Giratina as female.No idea why and whetever that is actually true.
>>59251967You could pet the nigga and make him smile in Gen 6/7, he’s not evil once you show him respect and love
>>59251963Yeah all those evil poison types like Roselia, Bulbasaur, and Oddish.
>>59249760Poison
>>59252223uh oh guys watch out for the fucked up evil slowbro and a literal starfish
>>59252019Thats obligatory gameplay stuff, they couldve made a gen 6 pokemon thats like "evil sadistic shitdemon that rapes and kills anybody it sees no matter if its human or pokemon" and they wouldve still allowed you to pet them and make them happy
>>59251947Do japanese even associated the dark type with wickedness. Its pronounced Aku which could mean detestable or vicious rather than Waru (The alternate reading of the Dark types Kanji) which is more concretely evil. Maybe the point of the name is its wide variety of interpretations from detested pokemon like Absol to vicious pokemon like Sneasel.
>>59253363Absol is Dark type but actively warns people of impending doom. So it's detested for what it associated with and not its actual character
>>59249760SO, if it was evil why didn't Team Rocket use psychic types? Hell, they mostly used type which is weak against the strongest pokémon out there, Sabrina could've solo'd Team Rocket if she wanted to.There's Mewtwo I guess but he's the exception.
>>59253527>What is wobbuffett
>>59251947>And trust me, it ain’t marketable to have a Pokémon to be pure evilWho cares about marketing, Pokémon are huge bastards.
>>59253527Because god forbid evil teams have actually good pokemons, if team rocket was to be portrayed in a more competent manner, they'd be using pokemons like raticates or umbreons or etc. but nope, all zubat and ratattas!!
>>59253527>Sabrina could've solo'd Team Rocket if she wanted to.Sabrina herself was working for team rocket, anon
>>59254387>manga canonLeave
>>59254392It's canon in the games too, why else would she stay still and not do shit while team rocket was invading her town despite having pokemons that could easily sweep the team rocket grunts away?
>>59252360Malamar?
>>59249760...No.
>>59251963Bulbasaur is evil?
>>59254444Busy playing video games and stroking her huge futa cock
>>59254501not bulbasaur, but his evos make him look more like a bio-weapon
>>59249760Nah
>>59254487That anime two-parter was fucking weird, but I guess they wanted to go big for their one "genuinely, wholeheartedly evil (not just hungry, territorial, mischievous, etc.) of its own volition" wild Pokémon story.
>>59249760Dark Type is the only evil type because they sucker punch, bite, steal, ambush, pursuit and overall fight like bastards.
