Would the zoroark line have been a successful shillmon if it
>was dark/ghost, dark/psychic, or dark/fairy
>was given to the player by a notable character like Juniper or N

It would have been successful if it was good competitively. You might scoff, but every successful shillmon has been a competitive staple in some way, at least in its debut gen.
Zoroark meanwhile was invalidated in the same gen it was introduced in.

Maybe if Zoroark didn't lose the tail, seriously that body structure looks off without one, same reason Zeraora looks off to me.

I think it was just too soon after Lucario to succeed

Dark/Psychic would be the best route. Ghost for illusions, sure?? I don't really think it represents paranormal shtick well enough to be considered ghostly though. And a late type change in Gen 6 wouldn't have done any favours for it as a shillmon imo

There's a lot of shilled cutesy/unevolved mons that suck in competitive

Zoroark should have received a Mega Evo/exclusive Z-move/G-Max. When it comes to the games, Zoroark has been very mistreated since it's introduction in BW.
The anime producers seen to like Zoroark/Zorua way more.
Yet, despite not being a "shillmon", Zoroark and Zorua have a lot of fan art produced daily.

if it wasnt literally some furry evo and had more soul, i like it sort kinda but i always see a clown face paint when i look at it in game plus barely seems fox-ish after the evo atleast it had a good movie though

I thought recently it would make a good mono Dragon type. That’s more its vibe than dark, and dark wolves are really played out

Idk because it’s vicious and arcane with exceptional power. In terms of mood it’s less tricksy ruffian (scrafty) and more brutal fighter (haxorus)

The two main things were
>Team preview
>No normal person can use it in BW
For the second one at least maybe have zoura in some mini-event in castelia city that doesn't require jumping through hoops

Yeah, no. Literally all they had to do was have an NPC give it to you or integrate the even into the story and they failed pretty hard. BW2 doesnt count.

>Make it Dark/Ghost- powerful type combo with no weakness at the time and still fits it theme/gimmick
>Zorua gift for Juniper's father or a Zoroark Gijinka OC in BW.
>Make the Movie Portrayal of them as less scary as possible(because apparantly Zoroark was too scary for the kids) and make Zoroark a male(overprotective mom just didn't click with the audience).
>A Lucario/Zoroark rivalry akin to Sonic/Shadow could also make Zoroark pretty hip with the kids and teens.
>Delay Team Preview til B2W2, if you need it so much.
And............. there, you got a successful shillmon.

My mom once caught the movie on tv and it was because of the whole Meema thing that she now fucking loves Zoroark. Then again, she’s a mom herself so..

I'd keep the mom thing but making it a rival to Lucario would be a good idea. Hell, Lucario's whole gimmick is that it can see through illusions with its aura vision. Its baffling that they didn't put 2 and 2 together.
