Darkrai in the main games: “I am not meant to be in civilization. Even being around people causes them to suffer from nightmares. The only option for me is to strand myself on an island far away from anyone. Only then can people and Pokémon be safe from me” Darkrai in Pokepark: “I only wanted friends but I’ve messed up badly. I realize the error of my ways and will sacrifice myself to safe the world. Do not feel bad for me; I chose to do this” Darkrai in Mystery Dungeon: legit corrupts actual deities into thinking you are the bad guy so they try to kill you, destroys your memories, impersonates a good guy to try and make you think that you screwed up the world by existing and even manipulates your brain so that you think your best friend wants you dead
4:15 You say uncontrollable powers, almost like Darkrai himself can't fully control them, or perhaps being near him causes the effects, like a dark aura or radiation. Here's a thought: the kid that got effected by Darkrai was the son of the Sailor. The same Sailor knows the location of Darkrai's island, aka Darkrai's territory. I think the Sailor took his son out for a little father son bonding time and either accidentally or purposefully sailed too close to Darkrai's island. Darkrai took this as something invading its space and reacted to defend its territory, or perhaps the kid wandered across Darkrai or saw him form the ship's deck and immediately went under Darkrai's effects. This also explain the girl at the cursed house in black and white 2, which incidentally also states in its pokedex that "Darkrai means no harm." This poor girl probably stumbled across one of Darkrai's hiding places or his old territory before he moving to New Moon Island. I also think using Pokemon Mystery Dungeon as evidence is complete bull, cuz that would mean a lot of things in the game is fact, like idk, humans turning into pokemon?! TL;DR I think Darkrai is a recluse, territorial pokemon that stays away from humans and other pokemon due to not having a proper grip on his dark powers. However, as the civilized world expands Darkrai is running out of places to hide away in, thus meaning more people are gonna accidentally invade his space. Also, it probably doesn't help that he's garnered the reputation of being the dark nightmare pokmeon, so I bet you some headstrong trainers had attacked him in the past to try and drive him away, explain his territorial nature. I think he gets the fact that his powers do bad things to people, so he actively tries to hid away, only using his powers if he absolutely has to. Now honestly, if Cresselia is a being of light and the one created to heal those effected by Darkrai, she should step up her game and start trying to warn humans and pokemon to stay out of Darkrai's space instead of only appearing when someone needs her feathers, or to attack Darkrai cuz some idiot human accidentally found his hiding place like its his fault for not picking a better hiding spot. Tbh, Cresselia seems kind of lazy in her duties as the Light counterpart. Edit: Didn't realize how many people have similar ideas as I do. Nice to know everyone is on the same page.
I don't think Darkrai is as evil as his reputation says he is. especially because of the fact he sacrificed himself to save everyone in pokemon the rise of darkrai
This is true great movie btw! It is crazy to see the dynamic between his good and evil periods. It’s for sure a hard call to make! Thanks again for watching dude
I'm torn too. In Shadow of Almia, he's mostly good but goes berserk because of the evil organization. In Pokepark, he's like the antagonistic figure at first yet we befriend him be after he realizes the error of his ways. The only time he was evil was in Mystery Dungeon EoD/T/S. He tried to engulf the world in Darkness... Because reasons not really explored. Other than that he was always ambiguous or neutral most times and his victims were asleep or dead by accident (RIP little girl from Black & White 2)
Darkrai isn't evil. He isolates him on New Moon Island so no one is harmed by his power and if someone is affected by his nightmares then Cresselia is close by on Full Moon Island
Well, there's 2 things that bug me: 1.) In Platinum, getting to NewMoon to challenge him, theres no one there, if hes really evil, then why seclude himself there? Especially the circumstances of meeting him. I mean Palkia, Dialga on the Mountain, Giratina in the Distortion world, Heatran in a Cave, but Darkrai, A small Island, it would of been more interesting if You encounter Darkrai while sleeping, but They didn't do that. 2.) I Don't think The Mystery Dungeon Games hold any merrits since its technically not cannon in anyway, and just a spin off series.
He's secluding himself to try and protect people and pokemon, as well as himself cuz I bet you some trainers/ pokemon gangs have attacked him in the past. He is a legendary pokemon after all, with some pretty powerful abilities.
I personally feel that Darkria is not intentionally evil. *The sailor’s boy bit:* The sailor’s boy must have accidentally startled Darkria, causing him to use his move (Dark void)! If he really was being hostile....Why wasn’t he at the house hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, but instead.....Was On a deserted island...ALONE! *The pokemon dungeon bit:* This Darkria is trapped in darkness, feeling helpless and alone..... So he tried to find a way to fight it, thinking that if he plunged the world into darkness, it would make everyone become his friend. The way he went on to do this was wrong, however I don’t think Darkria knew how to as for help! The aggression was really just Fear! Fear of being back where he started! It’s the same situation with necrozma, Necrozma hunted Sogalao and Lunala so he could restore what he lost! He was Afraid of losing the light forever! Many people don’t blame Necrozma for this behaviour! Fear can make us do terrible things to others and our selves! *🌙 (idk how to spell name) bit:* 🌙 is more of a guide, trying to help darkria. However perhaps of darkria’s fear of hurting others, he does not accept help of 🌙, which then leads him into being alone and the cycle starts all over again! I know that Darkria is not Evil intentionally! I mean what would you do if you were in Darkria’s boots (and with no knowledge on how to ask for help or where to get it)! I hope my point made you think about the good as well as the bad!
The Platinum encounter is wrong. After meeting with the boy, you have to encounter Cresselia to get the Lunar Wing, which cures nightmares. Meanwhile to find Darkrai you actually have to go into that one house in Canalieve (or whatever it's called) which is usually locked with a special event ticket, and you can find the other island after falling asleep and having a bad dream which is inescapable, until you either catch or defeat Darkrai. After that, you exit the house and someone walks up to you saying no one has been in that same house for about 50 years or so, confirming it was indeed all a dream

Glad you found the content looking forward to seeing more of you here!
It comes to the vers in the manga he stoned red,green ,blue,yellow and silver. In mystery dungeon he is fucking evil . In the anime movie just mistunderstood,in a few episode he was just a challenge.
I agree with @James WYMA Darkrai is very similar to early Mewtwo. He has a deep mistrust of People and other Pokémon because all they have known was to fear them. And this caused him to use all his powers against them for protection!! But when he saw the care between trainer and Pokémon he used his powers for good!!!
For a character who sees darkness and nothingness as comfort, how is he evil for wanting to give that to everyone who can hear or experience it, hes not evil, just difficult.
I feel like this video will blow up soon. It was a well edited and established video. The idea is good as was well. I will be sharing this because this channel is underrated. But I can see this popular soon
Fun fact that actually isn't so fun...: 3 am, aka the "witching hour", up to 4 am, is the most vulnerable time your body is when asleep, and is also the most common time people die in their sleep.
Darkrai isn’t evil! He’s just misunderstood and is only trying to protect himself! He’s sacrificed himself and even protected his sworn enemy Cresselia! #RespectDarkrai
I dont think that darkrai is evil, his powers may come from a dark place but its not who the darkrai is, power doesn't make you who you are, your personality and how you handle power does
Not trying to hate on darkrai or anything but you said “power doesn’t make you who you are, your personality and how you handle power does” well look how he “handled” his powers with the ghost girl in black 2 and white 2
He states that he wanted world domination in Pokémon Explorer’s of Time/Darkness/Sky. In this he is Evil. As for the game I don’t think he is or the movie. Maybe they made him so we’ll never know the true motive behind the King of Darkness in the world of Pokémon
"Darkness, nothing but total Darkness. To Darkrai, this seems like the perfect world, but for you and me it seems like an abyss of unknowing and fear" Ey whoa whoa whoa, buddy - please speak for yourself there!
If I remember correctly both Drowzee and Hypno were used as an attempt to eat the little girl's bad dreams, but failed since neither can eat nightmares, while Darkrai was the cause of the nightmares themselves
I'm a subscriber to your channel. I like how you use TEDDIURSA to talk but I disagree with this video. On the rise of darkrai movie he risked his life to help save those people. U never mentioned that. He just needed love. Games are different from the TV show. Most games lie a lot anyway if it was a hundred percent fact that darkrai killed someone it would be in the tv show. So I disagree to a certain degree. He had his bad moments but his good as well so it all balance out.

I wouldn’t say darkrai is evil. He’s just misunderstood. Same with giratina
Agreed
It’s interesting that giratina resembles a centipede/dragon pretty spooky combination It reminds me of how Dracula in castlevania 64 took on that form
Giratina is the literal devil of Pokemon
@@NhBleker you’re point is? Satan in Christianity killed less people than god soo…

Yesss sirrrr this was a fun one!
I belive in black and white 2 I belive it was hypno that was the cause and darkrai tries to save the girl but accidentally brung her to a nightmare

Thanks dude
Personally (IMO) Giratina is the Devil himself and Darkrai is his Lieutenant Beelzebub
Actually, Darkrai is chaotic neutral
Bro please release for pokemon indigo league demo 1.6 bro please release brooo
It’s on its way dude there was a massive bug so I had to remake a ton of stuff
