Talk:Ash's Gengar

Alternate color

This Gengar is actually colored differently than every other Gengar in the anime. It's not just a new season/new art style thing. There was a Gengar in SS002 that had its normal colors. It's also not shiny. We should mention this.

I agree. I think this is worth mentioning. --PKMNAdventurer (talk) 17:40, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Can someone provide a screenshot of the normal colored Gengar from SS002 so we can show it's unique color scheme? --Incursor (talk) 22:15, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Gengar's alternate color resembles its official illustration from FRLG and its sprites from Pokkén Tournament and Pokémon Home. And I'm the only one pointing this out.

This is Gengar's normal color in every media but the anime. Haunter and Gengar have always had different colors in the anime.

First time he's had two of the same family?

Is this the first time Ash has had two individual Pokemon of the same evolution family? I'm referring to his Haunter from season 1, of course. Reign (talk) 19:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Trouble is, Haunter wasn't officially his so I don't think it counts.--BigDocFan (talk) 19:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

yeah but there's that one trivia where it says both ash and sabrina say he caught haunter.Roserade57 (talk) 05:33, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Haunter was never caught in a Poké Ball, so it was definitely never his Pokémon and as such doesn't count. It was more or less just befriended for a while, similar to Larvitar and Solgaleo. ☼ BlazingFist ☼ 09:00, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

and yet two characters said he caught it.Roserade57 (talk) 09:52, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

That is wrong, though. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 22:11, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

surely it being stated in an episode overrules fan headcanonRoserade57 (talk) 06:45, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

They said he caught it, but he never actually used a pokeball, Haunter just decided to follow Ash. Animaltamer7 (talk) 07:22, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

All 18 types

I think it is worth to mention in the trivia that with gengar capture ash owns one Pokemon of every single type. - unsigned comment from Mr zacian (talk • contribs)

That's more relevant on the episode page and Ash's page, which it already is on both page.--ForceFire 15:55, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
