Will Gengar ever not be relevant?
Maybe if they introduce a levitating ghost/poison mon with a better moveset.
Gengar is Sugimori's favorite. You know, the guy who made Blaziken and Lucario.
What do you think is the answer?
>>25672572
Venusaur is also Sugimori's least favorite Pokémon.
Gengar stats are insane for his kit
Besides him no other fast ghost pokemon exist
Closest you get is mismagius and he's still slower and weaker
Out if my top 5 only a few are bad now.
>Tyrantitar
Never leaving OU.
>Machamp
Outclasses by Durr in everyway
>Scizor
OU since day one fags
>Starmie
UU now. Out classed by too many things.
>Gengar
Feels good nigga
>>25673105
>Machamp
Niiiice. You're awesome. Let's hope for the best, bruh.although I like Conkeldurr, too
>Gengar
Pretty cool and will probably be OU forever
>>25673105
>Scizor
>OU since day one fags
It was BL trash in gens 2 and 3
>>25673105
Starmie is still OU
>>25674954
Still outclassed by memefrog
>>25673105
I think Mega Machamp is a given for Sun and Moon considering it got into Pokken and has its own Japanese website. Hopefully it will no longer be outclassed.
>>25674994B-But I want to him to keep his rivalry with Conkeldurr
>>25672550
If we ever get a decent Ghost/Normal-type Pokémon.

Why would it be not relevant? Gengar is the most fun pokemon. Find one pokemon that would be more fun to spent time with. You cannot. Gengar is the best bro you could hope for. You'll never forget your times with him.
Why were gen 1 ghost Pokemon poison type when they were introduced as being the only counter for psychics?
>>25675035
I kinda doubt it. I feel like, logically, they're kinda mutually exclusive.
>>25675087

>hiding
>peeping

>pantsing

>stalking
>no Pokémon allowed
>yeah alright buddy
Literally nothing you can't do. With a trusty Gengar by your side, the world is your oyster.
>>25675092
Why was Psychic immune to non fixed damage dealing ghost moves in gen 1? Doesn't help that the only was fucking Lick.
OR your ASS
I want to like Gengar, but his design just won't let me. He's too stubby. Haunter is cooler in every way.
>>25673026
>he
>>25675374
See I'm the opposite. Haunter was always my least favorite of the three.
In general though I really like their evolutionary line. You can really see the progression from one to the next, but with a pretty radical transformation.
>>25675592
HAS
>>25675957
STYLE
>>25675003
It's not much of a rivalry if one is just straight up inferior.
>>25675092
>Gengar
Because Gastly and Haunter are found near the Plant.
He's even high tier in Pokken, truly one of the most based mons.
>>25676096
This has been officially confirmed. See pic. Also, that would not balance the two if the other gets a mega
>>25673105
Starmie is a fucking hero. Despite never being the main guy in the spotlight, he's been making big plays since day one.
>OU through and through
>fantastic design
>great episodes in the anime
>really cool pokédex entries
>absolute bro-tier personality
>even good in spin-off games
>basically guaranteed to be good for ever
>the original Ghost type aka best type
Is Gengar the actual best Pokémon? Like, I'm not saying he has to be your favorite, but does anyone actually dislike him? The only complaint I've seen against Gengar is some people prefer Haunter. Is there any other Pokémon as universally fantastic?
>>25673105
Scizor was shit before platinum
>>25678439
I preferred it when Gengar's body was darker, but otherwise he's pretty great.
>>25678439
only contrarian faggots hate him, but their opinions don't matter anyways
>>25678439
I prefer Haunter and dislike how much pandering the line gets, and the fans can be pretty obnoxious. But he's a breddy cool guy.
>>25673105
>MUH GEEWUN
Who's #6 nigga, I gotta know
>>25678439
I can't fucking stand Gengar's design. Haunter looks amazing and way better in every way. The only Gengar sprite that was alright was the Gen I one but even then it wasn't all that good. In my opinion anyway.
>>25678439
>Is there any other Pokémon as universally fantastic?
I've never seen anyone knock Rayquaza.
>>25672550
>loyal to a trainer who treats it well
>doesn't mind hanging out and watching TV
>unpredictable and fun in Pokken
>consistently OU in the games and even Uner with his mega
>amazing coverage
>instantly recognizable design
Nah Gengar will always be relevant
>>25679571
I hate the over designed mega Rayquaza
>>25679673
To add
>Always a viable Pokemon in VGC, even in 2016 with box legends available
>Sugimori's fabourite Pokemon
>Has amazing support options for eve when he's not completely offensive based
Honestly I could only see him eventually becoming irrelevant in OU depending on how high the next speed creep is. He will still be relevant outside of OU though
>>25679571
You mean "Lipstick the Dragon"?
>>25678439
You forgot
>appears in the opening to the first game
Is it even possible to hate that cheshire cat grin?
>>25679541
I don't hate Gengar's design, but I always did enjoy Haunter's design more. Even with friends to trade and get Gengar with, I usually liked sticking with Haunter more just for aesthetic purposes.
>>25672550
Never, just like any other pokemon.
>>25679541
This. I'll repost this shitty image I made, but I honestly can't stand Gengar since gen 3 when it started looking like my mom's ugly blob with a grin slapped on it, and it lost all of its spooky potential. At least the mega is cool.
I also hate seeing Gengar as the only ghost that's ever marketed for everything and who always gets his ghostly dick sucked by GF.
>>25676250
So the Machamp line are actually assholes? The Conk line expresses "We can't work without these clowns causing a ruckus. We just want to work so we can provide for our modest families"
>>25681174
They need to change the mainline games into pokken quality no more turnbase
>>25683216
Nah. That's not what the website said. Nice try though
OR
your
ASS
>>25672550
When it stops being Sugi's favourite.
>>25673026
What is Froslass
>>25679571
I hate Rayquaza and it's mega, though it's mega isn't quite as bad. Then again there are very few gen 3 mons I do like.
>>25675374
The stubby doesn't bother me much. But the losing the amazing rayman hands is unforgivable.
>>25679521
>Ttar, Scizor
>Gen 1
>>25681174
This. What the "MUH GENWUN" fags don't get is that people don't complain the new Pokemon designs suck because of the concepts themselves, but because the artstyle has gone to shit. Even Gen 1 Pokemon mostly look either goofy or awful nowadays. The sprites has already lost their vibrant poses and colors, and the transition to 3D models was not a smooth one. They're all so fat...
