Roaming legendaries are fucking nothing nowadays. Catching the beasts in GSC was a real challenge, since then roamers are bitchmade.
Roaming Pokemon are fine. Although I still need to catch Cresselia. I need to get a Wobbuffet.
Dark is weak to fighting too. The thing here is that normal functions as both a "normal" and "light" type. We have Pokemon like Sudowoodo that could possibly be a "Wood" type, but they don't add it because it probably wouldn't add anything to the table.
I'm not sure what would adding "Light" to the table accomplish. Maybe it could balance out this Normal/Dark/Fighting/ thing, but would that make Fighting types weaker?

Dark is Evil-type, though. Light isn't all that good an analogue.
mind blown
sudo comes from pseudo, which of course means:
not actually but having the appearance of; pretended; false or spurious; sham.
sudowoodo is rock that looks like wood.

The ramifications of sound-based abilities being cordoned off to their own type would be huge. POKEMON, WORLD OF DEAF-MUTE MONSTERS (except for 1/18 of the species)
'Light'-based moves are shared between a few types. You have Solarbeam in Grass, Flash Cannon in Steel, Luster Purge/Mist Ball in Psychic, and various moves in Normal. I think Psychic is the closest we have to Light overall.
I like having sound-based moves of different types. We just need more things other than Soundproof that interact with them. An ability or item that powers up sound-based moves would be great in gen 6.
Even then, 'holy'-looking Pokémon tend to be Psychic - Gardevoir, Latias/Latios, Jirachi, Victini for example.

None of those really scream holy to me besides Jirachi maybe. Not that I think there needs to be any more types.
Dark isn't true "evil" though. More "dirty fighting".

Yeah, exactly. Wario would be Dark-type if he were a Pokemon.

It's Evil type in Japanese.
You're right, though; it's more underhand and devious than straight evil.

Dark types don't give a fuck about the whole "incorporeal" thing
Ghost types are tricksters. The majority of their moves have secondary effects that hinder their opponents and the Pokédex entries for the ghastly and drifloon lines show them pulling pranks of varying degrees of severity on people.
Dark Types straight up break the rules. They lie, cheat and steal; anything they can think of to get the win. Not only do they know a thing or two about tricks, but they're willing to go the extra mile.

Pranks my arse. Drifloon tries to pull children to the underworld.
This is saying nothing of the Frillish line and their enjoyment of wide-scale murder and horrific drowning.
"Varying degrees of severity". And how do the Player Characters/Professors/whoever know that the children are being pulling into the underworld? Did they interview a Drifloon? Stick a GPS tracker on some random kid? Catch a ride themselves?

That didn't explain anything.

So Eddy Guerrero was a dark-type?
"hey kid let me put a gps tracker on you... for research ehehehehe"
This is the part where someone posts a picture of Scrafty with a "Latino Heat" caption.

Making moves more powerful with the life orb has its downsides.
What do you mean?
I distinctly remember spending an entire Friday night of my childhood trying to catch Entei.
When this music started playing... shit got SO real.
Entei fled!

Using weapons is against the rules if the ref catches you. Eddy was about to bash his opponent with the chair, but saw the ref was waking up, so he made it look like HE got hit instead of his opponent.
Raikou was the first one I found and caught. I don't recall the music, but after so many years of playing it, then playing it HeartGold, the music is quite engaging.
thats cool
its like that time a guy was playing a fighting game and then his girlfriend walks in so he throws the controller to his friend because only misogynists play fighting games

I remember the first time I encountered one of the dogs, I panicked and got Heracross to knock it out immediately.
I forgave Heracross, because he was awesome.

Listening to that song Anth0ny posted reminded me that the only game in which I "caught 'em all", Gold version, got whiped when I attempted to utilize the Super Gameboy with it. I also lost my Mario Advance 1 save file when I attempted to use the Gamecube GBA player.
I later found out they fixed this with Ruby and Sapphire, but I wonder if there's a way to mod the original carts like that.

Ms. Froslass is grealy affected by your dark accusation.
Then she realized that she isn't even affected by fighting games, so she decided not to let that bug her. Not that it could.
This is Still the best pokemon battle intro. Only thing that comes close is the dppt trio.
i dont undestand why you posted that picture
It drowned trying to follow the twerps around Hoenn.
