It's just misunderstood. Except in mystery dungeon where it can go to hell

[srlopez]

Honestly besides how sick Darkrai's design is one of my favorite things about the Darkrai movie was how it got a Trilogy going on with the Shaymin/Giratina movie and the Arceus movie with the events of each movie being the direct cause, related to the events or referenced instead of being standalone films like the rest, I always loved that as a Child.

Main series Darkrai: a chill dude who unfortunately causes nightmares to everyone around him and he has no control of that

Movie Darkrai: a good boi

Mystery Dungeon Darkrai: yeah this guy’s bad

[Taijirai]

"This garden is for EVERYONE!"

I see what you mean by Darkrai being more ghost-like. Despite Dark type being called Evil in JP and Ghosts thought of as mischievous, Ghost Pokemon cause significantly more harm and steal more souls than Dark types. Thats why I like Dark Pokemon, they can be really nice and friendly. And also Houndoom

I always liked a lot the lore of Darkrai being actually good and people mussunderstood it because it doesn't control his powers

[Void_Echoes]

I’ve honestly always loved how they handled Darkrai
I find it really interesting how they’ve decided to characterise it as this misunderstood, almost empathetic pokemon (if I remember correctly, the dialogue after catching it in Platinum basically says it chose to live on Newmoon Island to prevent its nightmares from affecting people, I don’t think this was mentioned in the video) despite its appearance
not only is it an interesting concept, I just always find it interesting when any pokemon that isn’t plot relevant or something gets this level of characterisation

I have a theory regarding the ghost girl in BW2.

She was kidnapped by a group of Drowzee and Hypno and taken to the Dreamyard so the Pokémon could all use Dream Eater on her, feasting on her dreams all at once.

Darkrai just so happened to be flying overhead, sensed how much pain the poor girl was in, and so it intentionally gave the girl nightmares to make the Drowzee and Hypno sick and drive them away from her.

However, Darkrai couldn't control it's power, and as such the poor girl eventually died of a heart attack caused by sheer terror.

That's why Darkrai intentionally isolates itself on Newmoon Island.

[LaprasTrainerLiam]

No, Darkrai isn't truly evil. It's thanks to stuff like the Platinum event, along with the film, The Rise of Darkrai that perfectly show us that not all Darkrai are horrifying monsters, and love that about one of my all time favorite Mythicals. 😎

[MaceyGSyolky]

Shadows of Almia had probably the most accurate take on Darkrai, they just guarded a dangerous rock until Altru got to them and manipulated them beyond their breaking point. Seeing it suck Blake into a literal dark void where all you can hear is his voice reacting to a nightmare is kind of haunting even as an adult. Its self-defense was to force the one abusing it into a nightmare so he couldn't do it anymore and I wish we could see this characterization more often. It might be a bit too dark for the main series though

[NightFuryLover]

The explanation of Darkrai can’t actually control giving people nightmares is pretty heartbreaking. Like it’s doomed to be alone. Cresselia being able to purify calm those dreams and stays close to keep Darkrai company is sweet. I prefer that version.

[toastycomfyghosty]

And then in the mystery dungeon games (know they ain't canon don't attack me) it is the reason the temporal tower collapsed😊

[feiya]

Dude, that one episode from Pokemon Journey really makes me love Darkrai more!
He's kind of misunderstood antagonist who cannot control his own dark power

[MarcoBeSomething]

I find it interesting that TPC changed Darkrai’s initial description from Diamond and Pearl to Platinum because in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers games, Darkrai behaves more like the original description.

[kennedysamarakody]

Bruh, dont forget Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of

It was revealed Darkrai was the evil mastermind that corrupted Dialga and collapsed the temporal tower, the one who sent you back in time and turned you into a pokemon, etc.

[XLRwuzhere]

The best mythical Pokémon in all of Pokémon gens 👏🏾

[marcoasturias]

Even if he isn't evil, he is proficient at dirty tactics, therefore, dark type

[davernfrazierjr]

I like the idea of them always being there for each other. Especially with Darkai acting out of defense and Cresselia providing a cure for the damage Darkrai causes thus bringing further attention or harm away from Darkrai and in return darkrai enacts that damage those seeking to harm Cresselia

[DarkSpriteGirl]

I've always loved Darkrai, ever since the movie came out! It's still one of my favorite Pokémon movies ever, and I got the manga as well of the movie <3 I'm glad this video exists, to show other people that Darkrai isn't such a bad Pokémon, just because it causes nightmares and scary looks. I would love to see a whole video about the movie on your channel (subscribe!)

[ShayTheValiant]

Let Darkrai use its legs in the main games, Game Freak.

[WarmLillie]

Darkrai is a pokemon I look up to for years and thought it was a ghost type for years.

Because of the pokemon Daimond and Pearl movie

Rise of Darkrai is my favorite Pokémon movie for years and after watching it I developed my own motif from protecting from the shadow.

The Shady house event made me scare me had the feeling it wouldn’t do anything mean.

But I really enjoy the Legend Arceus side quest. It actually made me smile because I have never gotten to have one.

It’s just a daydream dressed up like a nightmare.

And I have Lunala and Celfairy to have some light and Darkrai to hug the dark void as well.
