    I like Zoroark way more than Lucario.

    (Because I think it looks cooler)

    (It's not wearing shorts)

    it's not as potent as it should be

    for example, if you have a burned pokemon at half health that takes 4x damage from stealth rock and you disguise zoroark as that pokemon, it shows up as the disguised species, with full health, no status, takes regular stealth rock damage.

    you basically have to use zoroark first, which is still a really cool and fun strategy to try out, but it should have been better

    Beasteh that's pretty rad. Dark types are really cool, probably my favorite typing.

    I made a dark team in sapphire once, but I didn't have anyone to play with at the time so it was just for giggles.

    Arf arf uh... Mightyena? Houndoom?? I don't know??

    I have always wanted to use shiftry but never gotten around to using it.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    Honchkrow is a favourite of mine, such a great design

    As far as spooky mons through the ages it was Misdreavus I thought was cool back in the day in spite its stats, I should probably make a Mismagius at some point

    That is a good selection of dark types

    Anyone who uses Sharpedo is good in my books

    The only thing I know about the Pokemon making process was that one dude was annoyed that the Frillish line he had thought of had the ghost type added on and the nasty pokedex history fitting of a ghost type

    Honestly though it was for the best, we have enough pure water types as it is

    I think they have each designer come up with a certain number of pokemon

    and then they pick from those designs and if they need more ghost types or whatever, they ask people for those

    then sugimori does the final art

    The best spooky pokemon is Mismagius.

    Best pokemon will always be Flygon.

    how many times do I have to say this

    flygon is the worst thing to happen to bug-types

    in that it is not one itself

  • Options

    Look. It was either Bug / Ground, Ground / Dragon, or Bug / Dragon.

    As much as I'd love to have a Bug / Dragon pokemon, I need Ground / Dragon for my ground gym I always want to make.

    flygon is dumb

    I could deal with the final stage being dragon/ground

    but trapinch has no excuse for being pure ground

    it is an antlion, goddammit
