>>40482360>luxrayI understand that the black fur and menacing gaze makes it look Dark, but it does no fight evilly in literally any way and in fact has a lo to do with LIGHT, no evil or darkness.
That said, it would literally take only a single new Pokédex entry that mentions it behaving meanly, and the lack of Dark Type would seriously be hard to ignore.
>lycanroc midnightActually should be one yes, but they probably didn't wanna give it more weaknesses while also making daycanroc seem even more uninteresting in comparison.
>if having strange/abuse-able powers makes you a dark type a bunch of psychic types should also be darkI think that's a really dumb thing to say, but I have no real rebuttal for it. Most I can say is that anyone can choose to be evil, but thematics matters a lot in Pokémon and Dark Types are just the ones deliberately being advertised in that particular way. They play a role.
