Thread on /v/ got deleted so here's hoping the faggot I was arguing with browses /vp/

>Are you stupid? Having the same fucking effect means they share a theme. It's the exact same eye that appears when you use Mean Look, down to the purple background. Yes it's fucking deliberate. Ghost/Psychic is a far worse type than Ghost/Poison.
>Having the same fucking effect means they share a theme.
no it doesnt. teeter dance and confuse ray have the same effect. that doesnt mean they share a theme. doing some drunk dance moves and creating a bewitching light have nothing to do with eachother.

shadow tag is called stepping on shadows in japanese. it was even wobbuffet's sig move (and it doesnt have a retarded golden eye on its forehead) shadow tag has nothing to do with freezing your opponent with an evil glance like mean look does

>m-gengar is a great design because its forehead has an eye that kinda looks like the iris of the eye from an attack animation from a move that happens to have the same effect of his ability
lol

as I said, my guess is that they were originally going to make him ghost/psychic, not that it would redeem it, sugimori should go to hell for turning his favorite pokemon (who most fans also happen to love) into this turd
