This is 4chan's favorite Pokemon. Why?

No it's not

Blah blah wicked nihilistic sense of humor we've done this a thousand fucking times

At least try a little, OP.

- it's from gen 1
- balances the fine line between scary and cute, edgy and fun
- troll personality
- its good competively
- intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor

this is now a gengar appreciation thread

The fuck it is. Gengar is terrible for several reasons.
>Ugly as fuck design that renounces anything good from its prevos. Literally a purple blob with spikes.
>Levitate when it doesn't levitate. Fuck that shit.
>Literally the single most babied, overbuffed Pokemon of all time. GameFreak's precious child. Got something bullshit every single gen.
>Stole Shadow Tag from Chandelure.
>Somehow became the poster child for Ghosts even though almost every other Ghost actually has a creative and interesting design.

>>27757769
I thought that everyone liked porygon/2/z

>>27757879
Also its shiny is ass.

Fucking horrible design compared to Haunter

>>27757879
>Levitate when it doesn't levitate. Fuck that shit.
except it does. it has been depicted flying plenty of times

>Somehow became the poster child for Ghosts even though almost every other Ghost actually has a creative and interesting design.
its genericness its part of its appeal, something overly specific cant be a posterchild. it's just a creepy fun poltergeist, not some kind of vengeful chair that contains the spirit of a dead previous owner and now sucks out the soul of whoever sits on it

>>27757769
>based as fuck design

Post a single mainline sprite where it floats.

Haunter does the generic ghost thing better. Gengar doesn't even look like a fucking ghost. It looks like a fat gremlin.

>>27758048

Crystal's sprite shows its legs disappear

Is your body ready for Alolan form Gengar? Ghost/Psychic or Ghost/Fairy would be cool. Ghost/Dark is too edgy.

"B-but he already has a mega!"
We already know Alakazam is getting an Alolan form and he had a Mega aswell. Gamefreak wont miss the chance to shill one of the most popular Pokemon

It's literally the prevos in solid form. Gastly is a gas ball. Haunter has its own developing shape and hands, but is still incomplete. Gengar is a solid ghost, and is finally complete. M-Gengar is it beginning to transition to alternate dimensions.

In terms of design

Gengar > Haunter > Gastly > M-Gengar

I already know there's gonna be someone replying to me with Haunter > M-Gengar > Gengar > Gastly so dont even bother pleb

Gengar is an overrated piece of shit that I only liked when I was twelve. If you like him you're literally an underage b& and should leave my chinese cartoon imageboard immediately.

of course the way the subject matter is being brought up itt is bound to bring in all edgy contrarians

Don't forget the only Pokemon this retarded board likes is Wooper.

Am I the only one that secretly wishes gengar wasnt so good? He is my favorite and I hate how popular and overrated he is and how people assume I like him because of how good he is in battle.

Am I just being an hipster?

>>27758272
>those rankings
I agree. Gengar is easily the most concise and iconic of all of its forms and it's popular for a reason. They're all A+ designs, though.

Not even fucking close

Gen 1
Ghost type (favorite type according to polls)
Mischievous
Strong
Actually one of the few good megas

>>27757889

I hate how unsaturated he looks now. This grey/black-ish shade of purple is fine but it should be more vivid.

And yes I know the original artwork has him all washed out too.

fuck no

its literally a purple potato with a face

>>27758424
Best FF.

>>27758157

>implying /vp/ isn't utterly destroyed by Lugia cocksuckers

>>27757769
No. I would say Gardevoir or Braixen are 4chan's favorite pokemon.

Yes. Don't let a thing's popularity or lack thereof affect how you perceive it. If you like Pikachu or Charizard or Lucario, nothing wrong with that.
Pic related is my favorite and I'm fine with how popular it is

This, is the worst pokemon design ever.
Yes, in every single gen.
It epitomizes everything lazy and bad about modern GF design.
Entire body is just lazily drawn crap. Stupid arbitrary fire. Edgy color design. Pointless, angry eyes. Completely uninspired.
It honestly felt like they just made this based on what would be the cheapest possible merch to make.

There's a lot of lazy designs. There's a lot of shitty designs. But Charizard X is a perfect amalgamation of both.

It's really just awful.
Oh and the prevo is just a smaller version of it kek.

what's /vp/ favorite then? you know we would never allow a popular pokemon to be our favorite

>>27761215
Cheapest possible merch would have no fire. Any moron could have told you that. Fix that pasta.

>>27757879
FUCK OFF

Ghost types in general are very overrated. I blame the le spooky xD dumblr meme.

>>27762641
>we
>our
Fuck off reddit.

Yes, Gengar is probably the best pokemon, well in my honest opinion. I love his shit-eating grin.

HAUNTER >>>>>> GENGAR

Honestly I dislike Haunter's design

>>27757879

one of the reasons i tend to use gengar a lot is because ghost is my favorite type and it's one of the few non-shit ghost pokemon

>>27758118

Ghost/Fairy plays off that prankster vibe a lot better, in my opinion.
