C'mon guys. I know it's not the pumpkin pokémon you

You're exactly right.

Game Freak usually does pretty well at subverting expectations when it comes to a theme. In Gourgeust's case it worked out pretty well.

This. Except when they willingly and knowlingly do it on purpose, like with things like Pyroar. Fans would've complained if we got a Water lion as our standard lion.

By Design: Yes
Everything else: No.
>Poor ability choices. No Illuminate and fucking Flash Fire
>Physical attacker with a phenomenal special movepool when Treavenat existed in the same gen
Goregeist's design is it's saving grace, if it didn't have a fantastic design, it would've been an objective failure as a pokemon.

>pumpkin
That's a gourd.

>>27229330
Any pumpkin pokemon was the pumpkin pokemon I wanted, and Gourgeist delivers.

>>27229804
Yep, you're correct. Pumpkins are a type of gourd.

>Pumpkins are a type of gourd.
They actually aren't, retard.

>It looks like a sissy fuccboi pumpkin.

Gourgeist is a dangerous Pokémon.

>>27229861
Pumpkins are a cultivar of squash, and squash is a type of gourd, dude.

It look like a pumpkin.

It needs to swap its Attack and SpA stats, and get either Flash Fire or Flare Boost as its abilities (Pick up can stay, it's fitting). Seriously, just do that and this becomes a great pokemon.

Why Game Freak sabotaged this thing is beyond me.

>>27229897
looks like a dick with a banana peel on top

>>27229330
If I microwave a cantaloupe will it feel like a Gourgeist? How can I achieve the feeling of its upper body? A body pillow and a pink wig?

>>27229804
What's the difference?

Literally the best pokemon ever.

>>27229330
I can't believe they missed out on having the small ones be speedy special attackers (FLAMETHROWER) and the XL being attack based tanks.

Fuck you GF
