>>20334795Why would someone who specializes in dark type pokemon, the sneaky, underhanded, "evil" type, want to conform to the rules and regulations of a gym in the pokemon league?
The real question is why hasn't there been a non-licensed, unregulated, off the record, back-alley Dark "gym" that pays trainers with under the table bets. No badge, but some mark that distinguishes winners to other Dark trainers as they pass through towns.
The answer is
"Think of the children!"
