So, is he supposed to be good, evil or some kind of neutral?
The anime just says he's misunderstood, so do some of the spinoffs. But then in the mainline games and Mystery Dungeon, he's just completely evil.
Not to mention his very presence causes sleeping Pokémon to suffer.
It just seems to be that Darkrai's genuinely evil, but every spinoff aimed at an even younger audience and the anime shows him as good...
Darkrai isn't evil so much as it just has a tragically destructive nature.
Didn't the anime make Malamar 100% legitimately evil?
I think they don't want Darkrai to be evil, it just can't help but destroy. Like Gyarados.
He's evil. He doesn't just cause sleeping pokemon to suffer, he puts them to sleep himself.

Most Malamar, yes.

It depends on the artistic liberties the writers choose to take. I honestly don't think MD Darkrai is the same one as the Darkrai who goes "THIS GARDEN IS FOR EVERYONE!".
