>>25108062Just because Mean Look and Shadow Tag have the same ingame effect you can't associate the two in terms of flavor, in the same way that move Stun Spore and the ability Static have nothing to do with eachother.
>Stun Spore has to do with plant powder>Stun Spore uses a yellow powder animation>Stun Spore effect is to paralyze>M-electricmon's ability, Static, let's him paralyze>therefore this thematically makes sense, Mega electricmon is an electricmon which paralyzes, denoted by the yellow powder in it's body akin to Stun Spore.M-Gengar's special ability has to do with making the enemies step on shadows, it has nothing to do with evil eyes. So if they were to incorporate its ingame ability into it's design, (which they kind of did with the shadow phasing thing M-Gengar has going on) it would not be by giving it an eye from an attack animation of a move that has nothing to do with it's ability besides having the same ingame effect.
>Shadow Tag was a moveMy mistake. I meant ability
btw, Shadow Tag is the ability of Gothitelle and Wobbuffet, both psychic pokemon, furthering my theory that they had considered making M-Gengar Ghost psychic, again, not because of some mean look bullshit but because gold is the color of psychic and third eyes are related to mind powers.
Regardless, M-Gengar looks like shit no matter what.
