Trivia
"Phantom" was the original English name for Gengar.
Origin
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish ghosts, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being.
Name origin
Gengar's name is probably a shortening of doppelgänger - a ghostly double of a person. This is a fitting name for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. Its French name comes from Ectoplasm, the substance that's supposedly emanate from the body of a spiritualistic medium when contacting the dead. Gengar's Korean name is a corruption of phantom.
