    WHY WOULD GHOSTS CARE IF YOU'RE FIGHTING DIRTY

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    I always assumed Dragon types were meant to evoke less European dragons - they're sky spirits, rain spirits, elemental creatures rather than big fire-breathing lizards

    On the same note I think that dragons resist the base elements - water, fire, lightning, grass - because they're traditionally creatures with command over those elements in different forms

    That wouldn't explain the ice weakness, though. Maybe there's a specific story about that

    Because the ghosts are the souls of the dead.

    And the darkness corrupts their souls.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    But dark isn't spooky! It's mean!

    actually I think I straight up said the opposite of what it actually is

    Ghosts main method of attack is being 2spooky and dark pokemon can't be spooked.

    i don't like ford and haven't ever bought a new car, so i vote buy an old Chrysler

    Jesus FUCK, Melding when did you turn evil?

    Chrysler is where most of my family works, also i don't like the way most fords look.

    Exactly how shitty were the Damiler-Chrysler years for the Chrysler employees?

    And, do you or anybody you know ever feel guilty about the Neon?

    From what i understand they were never really worse off than other car manufacturer employee in the area until after the crash. They complained a lot, sure. but so did all of them. As for the neon, the plant where i grew up did minivans mostly, so no one i knew worked on one.

    So why is dark good against ghosts

    Also ice and flying

    That's it, I'm all out of poogle questions. Until you get to some of the resistances like why does water resist dragon but NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT

    Well, ghosts are always tempted into darkness, and if they fall to it they are devoured by satan. Everyone knows this. As for ice vs flying i'm going to guess it has something to do with birds flying to warmer climates in the fall to get away from winter, though i don't have a direct reason.

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    Ice is associated with cold weather and storms (Blizzard)

    Can't fly very well in a blizzard

    I think dark pokemon are part demonic and they can shred the ghosts' essence with their nature

    I am a pokemon doctor btw so anything I say is canon

    i have been told that dark in japan is literally evil type. ain't no gangar going to scare demon dog.

    either K's car from Men in Black, or Abobo's truck from double dragon.

    you're already stuck int he horror dimension, the cloak just alloys you to pierce the veil of perception.

    What is the logic behind the weaknesses of the more esoteric pokemon e.g dragon, dark, fairy.

    For example: fire is weak to water because water douses fires. Why is dragon weak to ice?

    I think the ice weakness is because most dragons are reptilian . The idea as presented in X/Y is that fairy types are forest spirits and thus immune to Dragons whose domains are the sea and mountains. Fairies are weak to steel because traditionally spirits are weak to iron . No idea about poison

    Dark is Evil type in Japan though I think a better translation at least before Gen 4 would be Demon. Hence why they can torment the dead and are immune to psychics. The fighting weakness is because fighting type pokemon are honest and direct while Dark types are devious. This is why pokemon like Scrafty are portrayed as street toughs or gang members. They're anti-heroes

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    ghosts as conceived in pokemon are not really bad, they just take people's souls away because that's their nature. they're really quite innocent, and as such get fricked up by the true evil of dark type

    water does not resist dragon

    dragon does resist water though. cause dragons are da bes.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    Dragons were bullshit until Fairy type.

    This played out in a really surprising fashion so far

    It wasn't me the player who unified Afghanistan, it was my character's mom who became one of the most badass NPC rulers I've ever seen

    She even met the Abbasid Caliph in battle and defeated him, getting maimed in the process

    Ghost pokemon are a f'd up concept.
    I just imagine team rocket or some bad dude's murdering people to convert them into Yamasks.
    Ghost Type gyms are just as bad.

    those stories aren't real. one of the pokemon are supposed to be as hot as the surface of the sun. they're not a rare pokemon either. if it was true everyone would be dead.

    Every time ghost type tries to scare a dark type the dark type just gives them the Dark Knight Rises Bane speech
