>Okay, what are the 12 reasons Hypno should be a Ghost type?
Bitch you think I won't?
>Nightmare is a Ghost Type move
>Hypno is the most creepypasta mon, Ghost Type is the most creepypasta Type. they mesh together well.
>Ghosts control shadows which suits Hypno's mysteriousness, as opposed to 99% of Dark moves just being "dirty fighting tactics" which isn't what Hypno really do. A lot of Ghost moves have a "creepy" slant to them as opposed to Dark's outright "mean" slant, spooky Ghost powers just suit Hypno more
>Hypno are moreso creepy and unsettling, with wiggleroom to just be misunderstood creatures, than they are explicitly malicious. Yeah they do "bad stuff" whatever, a LOT more fucking Pokemon would be Dark Type if you just go off of "uhh well they do bad thing look it says right here". Hypno are MOSTLY just creepy.
>Ghosts are formless, intangible things which can change their shape and form as their bodies are not made up of a physical substance. this fits the concept of nightmares, which often involve something suddenly changing shape in an otherworldly way to become more horrifying
>Ghosts = shadows, shadows = nighttime, nighttime = time when people sleep
>"controlling shadows" is not too far off from "controlling FROM the shadows", meaning someone who operates in secrecy. That is what Hypno do, they operate while you are asleep, they control you while you are unconscious, they manipulate events from behind the scenes and do not like being seen
>the concept of being unable to hide, or run away, from Hypno because they can phase through solid walls is very much on-brand
