Why there are no dark types in kanto?
Why there are no dark type gym leaders at all?

Do you think that Gamefreak cares about the "logic" of their own world? You can tell that they wanted to put in as minimum effort as possible with Let's Go.

Dark is a very cucked type in general.

Mega Absol is more sad that anything else.

Primeape would've been perfect to retcon into half dark, dunno why they never did that.

becuase primeape is just an angry pig monkey

pokemon like persian and hypno should have been made half dark considering persian is very mischievous and hypno is pretty malevolent

But they're not black, so they can't affirm Gamefreak's latent racism.
Primeape makes a better case given the Scrafty line. He is a native of Kanto so he's not.

Houndour and Murkrow are native to Kanto, you just don't see them in the earlier versions (and remakes) because the mc never goes out at night

I dropped ashnime around Hoenn and recall the type wasn't mentioned by name a single time despite all the dark types already introduced. There was even a brief recap at some point that said steel was the only new type.

Add in the lack of consistently strong stab (only situational), it's like their baby ghost cannot have a proper weakness.

There are a few. Actually, all gen 2 dark Pokemon live in Kanto and you can't find them in Johto with exception for Umbreon (which is pretty hidden if you don't know anything about it in advance).

>Why there are no dark type gym leaders at all?
The best theory is that Dark type is unfair, dirty style of fight. Gym leaders are supposed to guide you and challenge you in your journey as a trainer so they are not allowed. E4 is a final test where you need to be prepared for everything.

Mahogany Town should have been a Dark type gym with Murkrow, Umbreon and Sneasel.

Dark type was pretty much covered by Poison in gen 1. One of the reasons why there are so many of them and why Kanto pandering is so toxic.

Hypno
Primeape
Raticate
Persian
Golbat
Electrode

All are good candidates. They have literally regretted this to the point where they've made new forms just to fix this.

If Dark type was in gen 1 then Giovanni would have been a Dark type gym leader.

Nanu is a Kahuna which is Elite 4 level, not Gym Leader. Trial Captains = Gym Leader.

Despite there being no Dark Gym Leaders there are a few Dark E4 Members.
Karen, Sidney, Grimsley, and Nanu if he wanted to.
The type better fits characters that have individualistic values that spend time alone.

A good style for a gym would be something using traps/tricks to highlight Dark types underhandedness.

I'm doing an US dark monotype right now and actually having a blast with it, and not doing too bad at all
depends on the pokemon I guess, dual types can be pretty sweet
