I love Gengar. He was easily my favorite gen 1 poke way back when. I never liked that he was part poison... but on well. Thems the brakes I suppose.
I received a Gengar toy as a gift back when pokemon was just starting to be a thing and I had no idea what it was exactly. Still one of my favourites :)
Do I want to be feared or loved? That's a good question. I want both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.
