Hey loyal Pokejunglers! It’s ozy once again! And I still haven’t thought of a good self intro. :S Oh well, I guess I’ll just make something up for each time I post. So uh…what’s the stroy mornin’ glory? The dark-types in Gen V, that’s what’s up. Enjoy! (…..I’m kindof regretting that greeting now, does it even make any sense?)
You know what to do, hit it hard.
[spoiler]
To start out, we have the sexy cat and leopard. Pokemon #509 and #510, Choroneko and Reparudasu! I just want to say how pleasently suprsied I am that Game Freak FINALLY put something other then a normal-type or a normal/flying-type in the first few routes! ( Well I mean there’s still the Poochies..) In my opinion, I think Choroneko is the best and most sexiest/coolest/awesomest Pokemon that you can find in all of the begining routes EVER. Only reason I didn’t catch it and keep it on my team this time around, is because Cheren had one, and I don’t like using the same Pokemon that my Rival(s) has. Anyways, for being the new Rattata in a sense, it has a preety dang good Special Attack and Attack, both clocking in at 50. And of course, being that it is a feline Pokemon, (Well to be more specific it is the Ill-Natured Pokemon) it has a crazy high speed of 66. As for Reparudasu, which Choroneko evolves into at lvl. 20, it has a awesome speed of 106 and, like Choroneko, a decent Attack and Special Attack of 88. These guys can be found in various places all around Isshu. For Choroneko, these Routes include routes 2 and 3. As for our Cruelty Pokemon Reparudasu, it can be found on Routes 5, 9 and 16. Overall, I really like these Pokemon, but the unfortunate thing is that because there are so much better dark-types regarding stats later in the game, Reparudasu becomes obsolite.
Next up, we have the Shed Skin Pokemon, #559 Zuruggu and the Scoundrel Pokemon #560 Zuruzukin! Zuruggu can first be found in the Resort Desert, and considering that it has a pretty decent attack of 75, and not mention it’s defese and special defense both being 70, this guy will make a great addition to your team! Because of it’s Dark/Fighting-type, you might think that once it evolves to Zurukin at lvl. 39, that it would have killer attack stats. Well, you’re partially wrong, instead, it goes more to the defense side of the force and gets a killer defense and special defense of 115. As for the two’s design, they’re both total gangsatas. >< I still to this day can’t satnd Zuruggu, allthough it’s animation of it lifting it’s baggy gangsta pants and then dropping them as to say “look, It’s so small!” makes me crack up in laughter every time. Zoruzukin, on the other hand, I can stand. I didn’t like him at first, but realizing how cool and strong he was while playing through the game made me change my mind. I mean, it apparently wasn’t enough that he was pretty strong, bu he’s also a Dark/Fighting-type? I want. Not to mention, he’s just looks like he came out of a ghetto. So gangsta. That’s about all I can say for these two guys, I haven’t actually caught or used either of them, I just know I always had a close-call whenever I fought one.
These next two guys, I want so badly! It hurts me that I don’t have either of them! ;__; Which Pokemon am I talking about? Well I’m talking about #570, Zorua and #571, Zoroark! Duh. The only way to get a legit copy (couldn’t think of a better word) of these two, is through the events that started almost a year ago. To get a Zorua, You have to have the 13th movie event Celebi and show it to two people in a building within Hiun City. One of the “people” turns out to be a Zorua and the real person gives it to you as a gift. As for Zoroark, you have to have a shiny beast from the same event, and go to Illusion Forest. There, you’ll face another shiny beast, but, if you battle it for a while, it turns out to actually be a Zoroark! But, these two are like the Lucario of this generation. In a sense where you can actually breed Zoroark and get a Zorua, even though it’s technically classified as a legendary. So, you can get these off of the GTS, but the only problem is most people will willingly trade it to you for a lvl. 100 Reshiram or Zekrom. ;__; (Actually when I was trying to get a Mijumaru the same thing happend. But that’s a different story.) Anyways, Zorua has a killer Special Attack of 80, and because you can technically get it fairly early in the game if you have the event Celebi, it would make a great addition to your team! And even when it evolves into the Monster Fox Pokemon, Zoroark, you won’t have the guilt of feeling like a noob for using a legendary on your team! The crazy Special Attack increases evn more with Zoroark with it clocking in at 120, not to mention it’s Attack which is at 105. To evolve Zorua into Zoroark you have to train it lvl. 30, but i’ve also heard some rumours that you need a rare candy to actually get it to evolve. (?) But I doubt that’s true. As for these guy’s design, the Evil Fox Pokemon, Zorua is just absolutley adorable! But, the sprite version of it makes it looks kinda ugly. Zoroark, well he…er…she just looks BA 24/7. I know there’s some stuff about the spelling of Zorua vs. Zoroa, I’m just sticking with Zorua ’cause it sounds better. >< (Can’t Believe I forgot to say this: They have an awesome ability! Illusion! Basically, it’s gives them Ditto powers for a bit. It lets them transform into a Pokemon on the opponent’s team. (I think the second slot?) What’s fun to do is mess with the noobs on Random Match. They think they’re facing a Pokabu, then BAM! It’s a Zoroark.)
Before I begin, I would just like to say: Oh. My. God. The Knife Pokemon and the Sword Blade Pokemon just brought me back to my days where I would watch Power Rangers and Ultra Man all day long. LOVE. IT. It shouldn’t have taken you long to guess that I was talking about #624 Komatana and #625 Kirikizan. I mean I even gave you their classifications. :p These two, are, by far my favorite dark types in this Gen! No..I’d say favorite dark-type ever created! I mean look at ’em! Not to mention how strong they are! They have an awesome attack stat! Komatana gets the glorious number of 85 while Kirikizan gets the sexier number of 125. HELLA strong. Unforutuently, you get these guys pretty late. 🙁 You can first find Komatana on Route 9, whereas Kirikizan is on Route 11, allthough, it is pretty rare to find one. I definetly would’ve put them on my team if they didn’t show up so late! I mean the double typing of Dark/Steel is kinda a “mehh” thing with it’s double weakness for a few things, but still! The only bad thing about these guys is that to evolve Komantana, you have to train it to lvl. 52. But still… POWER RANGER! HELLA STRONG! AHHH! I have said enough. This guy? Pure. Awesome.
Ugh. Yuck. Gross. I really don’t even wanna review these two. Ladies and gentlemen, we just went from the BEST to the WORST. Introducing #629 Baruchai and #630 Barujiina….The Diaper Pokemon and the Bone Eagle Pokemon. Ya. It’s seriously called the Diaper Pokemon. Just shows how lame it is. Because I hate this guy so much, I’m going to keep this pretty short. I’ll give it props on it’s decent Defense stats which clock in at 75 for Baruchai and 105 for Barujiina, but considering how late you get them in the game, those stats aren’t really all that “WOW!” factor at all. You first see Baruchai at Victory Road, so lucky for me, I only had to see it’s ugly face rear my way a few times. It’s pretty rare to see Barujiina on Route 11, so you’ll probably have to train the “huggie’s diapers mascot” to lvl. 54 to get it. As you can probably allready tell I really don’t like it’s design. So I won’t go into that at all. Just pure ugly. Wargle>Barujiina. Oh, forgot to mention, it’s a Black Version exclusive so might want to rethink which game you buy. I feel like I’m not giving this Pokemon all the glory it deserves, so for Barujiina fans out there: preach about how awesome it is in the comment section.
Last and DEFINETLY not least, we have the cute, the awesome and the ugly. (Get it? “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” is a movie. Funny right? High five? No? Cool.) Pokemon #633 Monozu, the Rude Pokemon, #634 Jiheddo, the Violence Pokemon and #635 Sazandora, the Brutality Pokemon. The reason why I called them the cute, the awesome and the ugly is, well, because they are. In that order. I just find the way that Monozu’s “bangs” are covering his face so cute! And his little tooth…so cute. Then take that head and multiply that by two, and you just get a combination of pure awesome and cuteness. I mean, it is a Dark/Dragon -type. But then, we reach the end of the evolution line and we get a bit ugly. Sazandora. Allthough I find it ugly, I still like it. All of their stats are just made for making all giddy and jumping for joy. They all have awesome wel, everything! Especially their Attack and Special Attack. Starting with Monozu, it has a decent 65 for Attack and 45 for Special Attack. Then when it evolves all the way to Sazandora, they get bumped up to and 125 for Special Attack 105 for Attack. Their defense also is uust crazy and so is there speed! Just pure awesome! You could definetly win a few with this evolution line. Only two things I hate about these guys. One: You first find the first stage evolution, Monozu, at Victory Road. Why does it always take so long to find a dragon-type Pokemon in the wild! D,: Two: It takes forever for it to evolve and turn ugly. Monozu evolves into Jiheddo at lvl. 50 and then into Sazandora at lvl. 64. If it weren’t for the fact that I see this guy so late, I would’ve kept him on my team forever and made him never turn ugly.
Pokemon with secondary Dark-type:
[/spoiler]
Andddddd done! That’s all the dark-types of this Gen! AGAIN, we categorize by primary typing so you won’t see the Meguroku family line in this post. So, now that you’ve read it, I wanna hear what you think. Do you think I was to harsh on some? To nice to some? Do you disagree with anything I said? Or god forbid *gasp* agree? Comment down below and tell the world!
peace and love– ozymandis
P.S. Sorry this is so late. ^^; I actually started this like two days ago, but because of school work and me napping at random times because of my lack of sleep, I never got around to finishing it until now. Well actually I got majority of it done, but I forgot to save it. FML.
P.P.S Forgot to mention this, but the Pokemon Global Link is now back up and running! You can download the new C-Gear and participate in the Favorite Pokemon Poll which determines what Pokemon will be given away in the Dream World! Looks like Arceus is winning so far…:)
P.P.P.S. Go check out the newly refurbished MountMoon! I’m there, and let’s face it. Who wouldn’t want to talk to me?
Before you post the next article, could I suggest copying it and pasting it into MS Word or something like that? Then run it through a spell check and ignore the Pokemon games. K please thanks.
uhh i do that every time. ><
Well, there’s still a lot of mistakes then. :S
http://iaza.com/work/101007C/Shinx_ANGRY78249.PNG
Man, LOL…
1st, Zoroark isn’t a legendary, noob… neither is Lucario (Bigger LOL)
2nd, Choroneko isn’t the first pokémon that is not normal or normal/flying that appear on the 1st routes… There’s Poochyena in Hoenn…
-DOWN THUMB
Der, I made my own vote down button. And I clicked it as many times as possible.(Which is only once. O.o)
I’m got one of the movie beasts on Serebii, so I’m gonna be putting up loads of Zoura’s for pretty simple Pokemon when I get the EU version. I’m sick of how people ask for impossible Pokemon and competely silly ones.
On the subject of this article though, I like Orz’s style of writing. Sure its got a few mistakes, but he isn’t wrting a novel so it doesn’t really matter.
Lol, Orz. It’s Ozymandis. (Ozy 4 short) Also, what do you mean by silly and impossible pokemon?
By silly and impossible I think they mean people who post trades like “My Lv. 10 Growlithe for your Lv. 100 Ho-oh!”
I would have to agree w one of the commenters up the top, maybe give the info on stats/typing and then later you can rip into the pokemon’s appeal as per your taste. Please, w an icecream pokemon on top 🙂
Other than that I thought it was very good 🙂
There is a button under the Vote +1 button… it’s called the Reply button, you should try it, I just did, and it felt great!!!
BTW, I’m sorry if I seem like an ass. When i’m tired, I say things that I regret in the morning. (kinda like a drunk guy)
LOL don’t worry about I know what you mean.
I’d read comments hearlier before I decided to post my thoughts that mirrored his/hers (?) I didn’t reply to that person’s comment b/c I became lazy and didn’t want to have to read through all the posts to look for it XD
ozy, do you have guns, plus do you have any heavy metal music in your collection?
ps.*gets zu, kiri and spiritomb to put heavy metal, punk, hardcore and electro-punk and hardcore into ozy`s music collection*
pps. *finds out that ozy might get arrested for having a lot of porn, because he lives in singapore*
i actually don’t. ><
I can't stand metal. xD;;;
and i don't have THAT much porn. 😉
spell+grammar check man. You say you skipped a grade, but after reading this, I would think that you flunked a grade. Seriously, this stuff is hard to read.
I could read it just fine.
sorry. ^^;
my writing style is kinda hard to understand, i write like i would talk to my best friend.
so it’s extremly casual and kinda awkward. 😛
don’t be sorry ozy, i love that you write like you’d talk to a friend because it makes it on a more personal level. If it was completely perfect, then it wouldn’t be your style. If people are just gonna read your great articles just to judge stupid things like your grammar and opinions, then there is no point to them reading it, because they’re just telling you that you shouldn’t be yourself 🙂
well, case in point, articles are supposed to be objective, not subjective. these shouldn’t be called articles since they’re being written with a definite sense of subjectivity unique to each individual author. pokejungle should technically call these editorials.
you would think they would proofread these to make sure the site looks semi-professional. NL’s was soooo bad…
It’s just find.
Lol, find. Oh, da irony.
P.S. I will be putting this in my posts from now on, ’til I go 2 sleep: I’m sorry if I seem like an ass, I’m very tired, and when I am, I say things that I regret in da morning. (Kinda like a drunk guy)
have any of you heard of undies that puffs up the part of undies in front of your parts, that has two more variations exposing your butt?
ps. shibirudon, attack ozy for making penile jokes about your pre evo
Illusion turns Zorua/Zoroark into the pokemon in the last slot of your party, whatever it might be at the time. (Don’t know if it can turn into a fainted pokemon)
ozy, is your real name jim payne?, if not, if you become a twitterer, name yourself pjnozymandis
ps.*spots coronis` manga colection under ozy`s porn collection, plans to put the n00bnerd thumbnail as twitter pic, but then sees a whole cargo container of gaga, glee, kp and pink memrobelia in his room*
ahah no. ><
my twitter's: LeevingItAsItIs
and my real name's Gavin Lee. 😛
Although I don’t always agree with your opinions, I have to say Gavin is an awesome name.
omg i just realized – g (avin) lee = glee! yay!!!!! 😀
i know. ><
all my school login's for internet and computer stuff and such has always been "glee" 😀
my name is total win. 😀
ahah why thank you. 😀
Lol, LeavingItAsItIs. BTW, r u sure there is no possible way 2 make a vote down button? (4 Dinoman007, why does he keep talking about your porn collection O.o)
P.S. I’m sorry if I seem like an ass, I’m very tired, and when I am, I say things that I regret in da morning. (Kinda like a drunk guy)
HAhahaha! PJ did have a DownVote button, but he took it down as he said ppl were abusing it XD
Which was true XP
Quit bashing ozyyyy you bunch of FEEBASS HOLES! <<<<<Pokemon joke!
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE STEEL, ICE, BUG, FIGHTING and NORMAL!!!!!!! Hurry PJ team, run home, run home as fast as you can and write!

Lol, Feebassholes, I wish 2 use that one time now.
weird how u were bombing on sazandora design, cuz hes like my favorite pokemon from this gen and quit possibly ever XD, not only is he like the coolest type combo ever but hes a mofoin hydra! anyway other than zoroark and kirikizan i didnt realy like the darks of this gen, though Zuruzukin’s “dat ass” face makes me crack up.
all dark types= punk, hardcore and heavy metal

jaroda. 😀
i dont like grass but thanks any way
but i do need a grass
how bout the dancing cactus
Depending on your version, I suggest Doredia. I’ve got one now with Sleep Powder/Butterfly Dance/Giga Drain/Dream eater and it’s boss. :3 Sleep the first (It’s fast enough for most of ’em), Butterfly Dance a few times, and then either Dream Eater or Giga Drain for huuuuge damage. XD It’s oneshotted soo many pokemon from this strategy.
thanks
alot i might actualy use doredia
and plz keep suggesting
And this is why pokejungle will forever remain a children’s website for discussing which pokemanz is their favorites based on how cool they look!
I beg your pardon, I am no child. I am a legal adult.
I like discussing the asthetics of the new designs. Human beings are very visually-oriented creatures, there is no way that appearence wouldn’t influence our opinions of these new Pokemon.
I’m sorry, the general tone and language used made me think you were about 8. Not to mention how you said almost nothing about movesets or strategies, just went on about how much YOU liked how the sprites look. Again, not too much there to claim this site isn’t for young children discussing how cool their favorite pokemanz look. I know nobody has nor ever will claim that this site has any good journalistic qualities, but I would at least expect it to relate to pokemon in a meaningful way, and not just be a site for the childish mods or administrators or whatever you’re calling yourselves to rant about whether they think the pokemon designs are sexy or not.
It’s a fansite, populated by fans. We choose what we wish to talk about, it doesn’t matter how old (or young) you believe us to be. If you want to talk strategy, go to Smogon or something. We fans know that we can go to Pokejungle to discuss asthetics, or whatever else we damn well please. If the mods want to be childish, that’s their prerogative. I’m not going to judge them on their behavior.
Also, who are you to lecture me on my language? I can write at an adult level, but your spelling, punctuation and grammar put you at a child’s writing skills.
I do not care about movesets or strategies. I play Pokemon for myself, and to have fun. I am not a competitive battler, I enjoy playing through the games and collecting the Pokemon I like. You have no right to consider me a child for that.
Ninja’d! LOL
If I said you took the words right out of my mouth… I’d b making an understatement.
That troll
You sure be feedin him
‘…relate to Pokemon in a meaningful way…’ meaning ignoring everything except how good they are in battle? You want that, go to Smogon. Here, Pokemon are more than just movesets/stats. Yes, they might touch on those and they have been in several of the other articles, but honestly that gets a little dry after a while. 49.2%-52.8% damage blah blah blah resisting 12 of 17 blah blah blah 80% accuracy blah blah blah. Not all Pokemon fans are math nerds, and not all Pokemon fans are completely competitive. I for one find it refreshing to see a site commenting on how they look. As pointed out before, visuals are an important part of how humans interpret things. If a game came out now that had the graphics of Red/Blue, do you really think it would be popular? As humans we EXPECT other humans to give us things that are visually pleasing.
As for ‘good journalistic qualities’, what the hell do you expect? No one here has an English degree (to my knowledge…). No one here wants a Pulitzer for reporting this stuff. These are NORMAL (maybe) PEOPLE expressing their love of Pokemon in a way that others can participate in. That in and of itself is beautiful enough that it should be worth looking over a few typos.
And before you ask/assume, I am not a child and haven’t been for quite some time, so immaturity isn’t a front you can use against me.
cough ozy’s porn addiction cough, cough ozy saying that the shib line is penis with teeth cough
Not sure what that’s responding to… maybe the immaturity comment? XD Anyway, as I said, they’re normal people. In this case, normal teenage-range male. Would you expect anything different? To me at least it speaks of good character that they don’t hide themselves, put up a huge ‘professional’ front that doesn’t really let you know the personality of those running the site.
You do realize that most, if not all, of the staff members are at least 21. Besides, Pokemon aren’t all about friggin stats. If you love the stats so much, when you go into a Pokemon battle, I’ll make a patch 4 you that doesn’t show the Pokemon sprites, but shows just the stats. That’s right. Just floating numbers. BTW, He does talk about the stats, thank you very much!!!
im only13
While I don’t really care for Baruchai, I do like its egg shell/diaper.
If you turn the sprite upside down, the egg shell/diaper is a skull. 🙂
Seriously if you dont like the way he write don’t read any of his articles and stop whining. Where’s your article and pokemon site? Oh yeah, that’s right…
*High-fives Bristeel* You tell him… or her!!!
yikes!! well ive always liked dark types but this generation introduced alot of them. personaly i like #624 Komatana and #625 Kirikizan plus zorua and Zoroark for thier abilities and the ones above for thier attack stat. i hate the dragon with 3 heads i kinda like the bird too.
POKEMON BLACK BEST mijumaru!!!!!!!!!
Why do these articles look like they’re written by a twelve-year-old? Especially that grammar, yeesh.
That, and try to keep a more un-biased view of the pokemon you’re writing about. Tell us about what the new ones are based on, what their names mean, etc instead of just creaming over/complaining about their aesthetics.
I have to say that I like the vulture more than I do Wargle. I was going to get Black version regardless of exclusives, and this bird sealed the deal. Wargle is cool, but nothing beats a bird that shits in a human (?) skull/wears someone’s bones as a skirt. Totally badass. ♥
Thats kind of mean……… he tries his best hes only 14……. check out his bio. and stop criticizing. you try balancing homework, school, personal life and and these articles!!! instead of criticizing give him props!!
OZY’S 14??!! HE LOOKS 18!!! I can’t believe I’m the same age as him. I feel so… honored!!!
LOL, what was that “Most of the staff is 21+” comment just a bit ago? XD
You could’ve worded it a little nicer. 🙁
ozy, what happened to my comment about dark types being linked to horror and a cause of what daigo wants unseen coughhardcoreporncough
ps. pj how big is your gun collection?
pps. ozy, do you master yate?
Lol, Yate: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Yate
Why yes Dino, I assume he does Eucalyptus tree alot.
well i’m a 14 year-old male teenager.
what do you think?
ozy here are some questions for you
Q1: how old were you when you started looking at porn?
Q2: how many items of porn do you have?
Q3: who got you hooked on porn?
Q4: does your parents know that you look at porn?
Q5: has any one taught you the dangers of porn?
ps. to pj, if ozy talks any more of his porn addiction, ban him till he learns that talking about x rated stuff isn’t appropriate, but also introduce the douch bag of the week, for people who did the stupidist thing.
pps.*uses mindwipe to remove all porn thoughts on everyone*
welcome dinoman007’s porn treatment centre, tonight’s patient is ozy, first off we are going to an std treatment centre, where pornstars go to get treated for stds, next, were going to shock him in an experiment with pictures of pokemon and porn, shocking him if he is excited by porn, then we are going to blow up his physical porn collection and finally putting a virus on his pc that destroys his online porn collection and put up a firewall that blocks him from accessing more porn.
ps. did you notice that both kiri and hydra are both inspired by japanese tv shows, what next, a robot whose ability is taking the defending pokemon hostage?
*looks at Gobitto line* >.> er…..
Uh, just so you know, Lucario and Zoroark aren’t legendaries. Just because they’re in a movie doesn’t mean anything. They’re just overrated. Not legends.
