>>56124217Froslass looked like this even back when it was one of the only Gen 4 mons sprited. This was back when they still used Gen 3-style sprites for portions of the dex, including for what few Sinnoh mons were even added at that point (almost entirely ones they had already shilled in the anime/spinoffs during development). Looking at how many Gen 4 mons had beta designs still in play all the way until mere months before release, I really doubt OP’s claim that it had some “original blackface design” or anything. It really is just because it was a ghost.
