Grass is powerfull against many types and weak against many types. Dark is powerfull against few, and weak agains few. Therefore it would screw up the balance, unless they in some way manage to work around it.

Poison type has two weaknesses (Ground and Psychic) and only one type it's powerful against (Grass). Meanwhile, it has four resistances and four types that resist it, and one type that is immune to it.

By comparison, Dark type has two weaknesses, two types it's powerful against, two types it resists, and three types that resist it, and one type it's immune to.

If Poison isn't unbalanced, why would an additional weakness for Dark types unbalance it? Especially since they could easily modify the type chart a bit to maintain the balance.



maybe his favorite pokemon is spiritomb or sableye and if light type is true then instead of no very effective moves it has will become Quad X Super effective from Light?
