In gens 1-3, yes. Then in gen 4 they started doing the lazy “literally just an object but possessed” shit and in gen 5 they started doing “literally just a normal ass animal but it has a vague spooky/stealthy theme so let’s slap ghost on it lmao”

Jellicent is made even worse by the fact that Frillish looks really good as a jellyfish ghost.

Yeah mons that are "ghost type because... they just are" should lose their ghost status. They're not bad designs per say but their are bad ghost type designs

Reminder that Jellicent was never designed to be Ghost type. It was just tacked on at the end of BW development to fill a type quota, and Jellicent's designer was actually saddened by the creepy lore that was added to the pokemon because of it. This was all mentioned in a magazine interview about designs around the time BW came out.

Is this official? Because if so they haven't even done that properly. Shauntal is the sole reason why the elite 4 have only 4 mons each, and subsequently why gym leaders only have 3

>Is this official?
Yes, found it. From Sugimori in Nintendo Dream April 2011.
>Frillish • Jellicent
>Sugimori: “These were created by one of our design team’s newcomers all by themselves. At first these designs were modeled after a prince and princess, but during the balancing phase of development, Ghost was added to their typing. The Frillish family’s original designer was disappointed that they ended up as scary Pokémon.”
So maybe not "tacked on" like I remembered, but Ghost type definitely wasn't the original intent and the designer wasn't happy with it being added.

Drifloon is pretty good as a ghost story though, and Rotom being poltergeist and possessing a whole bunch of different stuff is a pretty good gimmick.

Fire/Electric type luxray would've been sick tho and it would've been cool if Flint and Volkner shared a mon on their teams

I don't like clowns and nothing about it looks like a ghost, firework or an eldritch horror it just looks fucking stupid.

It's honestly one of my least favorite pokemon, was my least favorite ghost type till the string cheese thing came along.
>an underage edgy retard that hates fun
Why are you throwing around random buzzwords because gamefreak designed a shitty mon?

Here's my tierlist btw.
