Gengar (Pokemon) Anyone who's played Pokemon for a long enough period of time is bound to notice some of the more darker elements of the franchise, often tucked away behind Pokedex entries or hidden in the subtext of random NPC dialogue. As the final evolution of Pokemon's first Ghost trio, Gengar easily stands out in the original 151 Pokedex as the poster child for Gen. 1 horror, whether it's trading a Haunter to get this evolution in the first place (a clever nod to getting rid of your "ghosts"), or as seen in the Pokemon anime chilling with his pre-evolution buddies in the backdrop of the Pokemon Tower, the launching point of 1000 Pokemon creepypastas. Gengar's Pokedex entries through each generation read grippingly as an escalating & compounding story of classic terror, going from mischievous trickster laughing at your fright into straight up stalking your shadow, chilling your very soul, and opening up a mouth portal straight into the afterlife, potentially even turning on its very trainer. To me, Gengar represents an early introduction into horror fiction & lore for children around the world, especially in its demonstration of spreading folklore through a word-of-mouth method. It's something I love to champion greatly, one, because I've been a horror obsessive since I was young myself, and two, because of its potential benefits in getting kids to open up and confront their fears head on. It may sound cheesy coming from a game ultimately about pitting cute animals against each other, but everything has its purpose, & if Gengar's is to bring a little darkness to said cute animal game, I'm 100% for it!
