So I've been gone from /vp/ a few days, and I was gonna make a thread saying Gourgeist and Pumpkaboo were underrated, and was super surprised it already existed.
I wish Pickup had a buff, I like that it has it because of trick-or-treating. Also I realized recently it might be a trade evolution as a reference to kids trading their Halloween candy. Its really an oversight that it doesn't learn Perish Song for flavor. Flash Fire might be neat, I'm not in the camp saying Gourgeist should be Grass/Fire or Ghost/Fire though. It's type is perfect.
Overall Gourgeist embodies the spirit of halloween and does it very well in my opinion. I feel that people were disappointed with this pokémon line, solely because there are many different ways you can do a jack-o-lantern and this just wasn't what people had in mind. Do not let that distract you from Gourgeist's awesomeness though.
>>33513718>>33524349I traditionally disagreed with this, but we have so many Ghost/Grass pokémon now that I have second thoughts. Maybe it would be cool if the smaller, faster ones had higher sp. att. than att.
>>33513859I get the impression you're into BDSM. Not kink-shaming, just an observation.
>>33514091>>33514192Pumpkaboo is definitely meant to look like a Halloween bat, just look
exclusively at its upper brown half. It even has little fangs.
Never thought of the black cat thing, I think that's a coincidence but I love that it totally brings black cats to mind.
Gourgeist's time of year is on its way....
