youre right no dark type gym! but isnt it something that dark has been a E4 type though?

 

I do have to agree the next Gen really needs to step it up and i will echo the need for a dark gym.

 

What is so hard about having a Dark Gym....I mean Fairy type got its own gym in the first gen it was created in?

 

so did Steel-type in generation 2/ Gold and Silver.

 

perhaps the reason their wasnt a dark type gym at debut was due to the fact that there werent many dark moves that dealt damage. bite crunch and pursuit.

 

It's gotta be intentional at this point.

 

yeah yhere'll be a dark type gym the year leo wins an oscar.

 

Meh, theres three dark type elite 4 members and no grass, who cares?

 

I'm assuming that the reason there's no Dark-type gym is that half the evil teams use Dark-type Pokemon nowadays, so Gamefreak could probably make the excuse that traipsing around the villains' HQ technically counts as a dark-type gym.

 

Ok taht would make sense.

Plus the only dark types were Murkrow. Houndoom and Umbreon...hard to make a gym out of that....then again that didn't stop Steel either with Steelix and Magnemite.

Probably the case.

I kinda like the idea but it's too predictable...dark types are evil LMAO.

 

Actually, those three could make a decent Gym for like an early/halfway point, since Houndoom is okay, Umbreon's pretty tanky and Murkrow is a nice starter. Besides, any Gym can have a variety of Mons big or strong, so it's all good.

As for dark = evil, it's funny actually, because in Japan, they are literally classified as the 'Evil' type. It's why most of their moves tend to be dirty/pragmatic attacks, like Taunt, Torment, Beat Up, all that stuff, and why they are defeated by the honourable Fighting and the too-simple-to-be-tricked Bugs.

 

^^^^ and fairy type!

well, as far as "well steel didnt have much either" goes ....
1- Steelix is REALLY high def and as such is a challenge.
2- magnetmite had a new type, so if you hadnt noticed ... here is the chance!
3- Steel itself was half damage to everything and immune to poison. only electric and water did SE damage. so getting past steel would be more challenging than dark.

but hey, 3 gens DARK was an E4 type. Will, Sidney, and Grimsley. they skipped sinnoh for whatever reason. so you have to ask why is dark E4 worthy, but not always steel with its myriad of resists? Steel has been and e4 type but i dont think as often as dark, and this gen steel was weakened taking neutral damage from ghost and dark now.

Spoiler

still looking for that pokeball pattern vivillon!

 

yes! finally!!

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - US Hoopa

For those of you in the US, the Hoopa event has been announced. Hoopa is to be distributed at McDonald's restaurants across the country from November 27th 2015 to December 23rd 2015. This event can be redeemed on X, Y, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire but it is not currently 100% confirmed if it will be code or through the Nintendo Zone or local distribution methods. This follows on from the events in Europe currently running in Germany, the UK and Italy, as well as in France in Micromania Stores from November 2nd.

 

Now that Xerneas can be obtained Shiny, can anyone get me one?

I have a spare Level 100 Celebi I'll trade for it.

 

McDonalds....seriously?

well that's not a bad thing. I love their milkshakes.

 

don't forget their mcflurries, bro.

 

And their Portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice combo or their saimin lol


But hopefully it'll be just a Hotspot download.

 

Well that means I won't be able to get it... Non of my McDonalds wifi ever work, much less their Nintendozones.

 

They're now reporting that the announcement has been removed from the official website... Wonder what that's about.

Edit: The official announcement is back on Pokemon.com. It also now explains to get Hoopa: "connect to Nintendo Zone after logging on to the free Wi-Fi that is available inside participating McDonald's restaurants".

 

Did anyone know there are Pokémon toys coming to Mcdonalds the end of November?
