Top 10 Pokemon You Wouldn’t Want to Meet in a Dark Alley
Gengar
To be honest, Gengar would probably slot quite nicely into any of this month’s lists, as it is equal parts scary/evil/threatening/dateable. In the early games, it was fairly innocuous, known to jump out of shadows to frighten people. As each generation went on, however, its lore was expanded to make it downright homicidal.
Moon details its intentions to violently befriend you, saying that “it apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans”. Meanwhile, Sun paints a much more pessimistic picture; “should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up.”
That’s one of the more upsetting Pokedex entries out there for sure. It borderline sounds like it was written by a Gengar who was sick of having to chase after people.
