I wouldn’t say Gengar is uncool, but I’ve always personally preferred Haunter’s design.

Seems like you did the Haunter trade with Mindy in Gen 4 and developed Stockholm Syndrome from it.

I will admit, I put the whole Ghastly line on fairly equal levels in terms of looks.

Gastly Haunter Gengar IMO is the strongest 3 stage evolutionary line.

I do like Gengar, but ill say it often leaves me feeling unfulfilled. Not to mention the shiny… gastly and haunter are some of the nicest shiny pokemon, and then gengar just shows up like hey i am tanned.

Even Dark Gengar the card. Like its a good card, but the haunter is so much nicer!

Edit:

You just gonna say that when alakazam is right there?

This is unfiltered, late 90s, day one stuff, with all the moral certainty of a six-year old.

I was also under the impression this was a very popular opinion…poll time?

My only half problem with Gengar as a kid was the evolution itself. Didn’t appreciate the transition from disembodied spirit to purple dude.

Kind of like Golem. He has an actual body now? Living rock ≠ Lizardman covered in rock

Ooyama never disappoints. I hope he does some more cards for the SV era!

Do you think there will be 12 or 24 AR slots? Or some amount in between?

AR Omanyte 180/165 is the 15th AR, so somewhere in between

There are 13 Pokémon after Omanyte (#138), 2 of which are Pokémon ex so they will not be getting AR. For 24 AR to exist, 9 of those 11 need one

A little odd that the Eeveelution line wasn’t done by the same artist like most others have been

yeah i thought saito would do all of them, but i guess only the waifu

These EXs are giving me prime vibes, EXCEPT, unlike primes, they’re not stuck behind the frame, but coming OUT of it. Still, anyone else getting similar flashbacks?

Even though arbok ex is a cool looking one i would have loved if Kedamahadaitai Yawarakai did the whole evolution line, really love the style on ekans so really hoping they will illustrate more cards in future
