So why did Dartrix turn into a ghost?

It didn't.

Decidueye is like Sableye, Oricorio, and Alolan Marowak in that it's not an actual ghost, it just has shadow/darkness elemental powers.

Decidueye is based on an extinct species of owl from Hawaii.

They had to go all the way in getting rid of the cool gentleborb thing Rowlet and Dartrix had.

It's really sad, honestly.

Because Dark types for the most part aren't shadow elementals, they're dirty fighters.

Most of the moves involving actual shadows/darkness (Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak, Shadow Force) are Ghost type, not Dark.

The type is even called the Aku (which means wicked or evil) type in Japanese.

I think Grass/Ghost is cool, but it doesn't make much sense and nothing on the design suggests it should be Ghost

Dartrix saved Otacon and got the optical camo.

With starters, it's clear that the first and final stages are designed first, and the middle stages are just designed as in-betweens, which is why they end up so awkward looking.

Though with Dartrix, it makes sense considering the Robin Hood basis.

Actually, I recall an interview a while ago(during gen 6) about how Gamefreak wanted to design starter mid-evos to have their own character/personality(which can be seen clearly in Dartrix and Brionne) instead of just being a stepping stone to the final stage.

>The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch.

It's just the Pokemon channeling its negative thoughts into an attack. Basically an evil version of Aura Sphere.

>heel
When will you barafags stop this meme?
They just ran out of time, designed a Fire/Fighting starter and made it Dark type so you wouldn't be completely assmad. Never is it canonly stated that it is a heel.

Literally stated in the concept that leaked all the way back in June that it's a dirty fighter.

>Literally called the Heel Pokemon
>Sun Pokedex: This Pokémon has a violent, selfish disposition. If it's not in the mood to listen, it will ignore its Trainer's orders with complete nonchalance.

Sorry, autismo, but it fits the bill for the Dark type. It's a brute who relies on brute strength, Fighting-type Pokemon don't fight like that.
