>>56533259Because Game Freak was so successful at sabotaging the early ghost types that normies don’t even realize they exist and by the time Game Freak started making anything that could compete with Gengar l, it had already cemented itself as the only ghost type ever allowed to mature
>Misdreavus Banished to mount silver, used by no one in game. despite being as good as Gengar in PvP (just with a different niche), everyone sees it as diet gengar if they even knows it exists
>every Hoeen ghost type The opposite problem with misdreavus. Actually allowed to exist in their own Gen but they’re so weak Gengar hardmogs them
>Gen 4Powecreep throws Misdreavus off a cliff so it could be “saved” with an evo that isn’t even that strong. Same story with Dusclops except even worse because Dusknoir is useless. Gengar is buffed up the wahzoo and out of “sheer coincidence” just so happens to be the ghost type to benefit the most out of the phys-spec split.
>Gen5 New powerful ghost types come, but gengar has already cemented itself as the “best” ghost. Also people bitch and moan about unova focusing on unova Pokémon for some reason, severally hurting the popularity of most Gen5 ghost types
>Gen6Kanto privilege grants Gengar one of the best megas in the game, it even gets Shadow Tag the ability Chandelure was supposed to get but was deemed broken, but shilling KANTOOO takes priority over the basics of game balance. It even returns elements of Haunter to its design, ending the mild civil war between fans of the gengar line since many of them preferred Haunter. It’s fucking over for every other ghost type.
