Talk:A Theory on Dark Type Pokemon/@comment-142.68.71.251-20151228214130/@comment-142.68.71.251-20151228220858

Actually, i'm giving this an addendum: Other dark-types existed before The Ultimate Weapon went off, but they, sensibly, were all mono-dark types. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Poochyena/Mightyena were pack-hunting predators. This counterbalances the spread of life. Absol seems to either follow disaster, or be followed by it. This counterbalances either the good or the bad parts of life (possibly both) depending on your interpritation of Absol's powers. Admittedly, Liepard can't be explained likewise particularly well, but Zoroark's deceptive abilities, to some extent, counteracts the inherent trust in the otherwise peaceful pokemon world, which could be a good or bad thing. The only exempt mono-Dark type is Umbreon, because Eevee isn't inherently dark, but simply absorbed dark powers from the surrounding world. More or less, my theme here is that Mono-Dark types are a natural counterbalance in nature, but The Ultimate Weapon spread the power around, creating part-dark types by giving the darkness to things that weren't inherently dark. And don't mention that Yveltal isn't a mono-dark pokemon. It admittedly doesn't make sense, but A) the flying type could be argued as an inappropriate typing to express its flying nature, and B) that point tears an ever-so-slightly massive hole in the entire theory. So it's ignore the flying-type, or ignore the theory.
