genuinely why is darkrai's category the "Pitch-Black Pokemon" that bitch has 4 colors to its name and 3 of them are decidedly Not Black

there weren't any pokemon whose category was "the nightmare pokemon" or "the darkness pokemon" (either of which would fit Darkrai better imo, & "darkness pkmn" is actually bulbapedia's translation of its japanese category name) and there still aren't any with those categories. why the hell is darkrai the Pitch-Black Pokemon

#pkmn #darkrai #im writing a thing and i noticed this and its so weird to me #i understand the “darkness pkmn” thing in japanese but that isn't the same as Pitch-Black #why is it not the nightmare pokemon i think that name works out well #it can't be for contrast w/ cresselia; in eng (Lunar vs pitch-black) or in jp (crescent moon vs darkness)#it make no sense to me #bac 2 riting tho: it's fun writing a mostly indifferent darkrai #it doesn't LIKE that it causes problems on accident by its very nature #but it's not really that apologetic either
