Gengar Gets Brand-New Official Pokemon Design for 30th Anniversary

Not every Pokemon from the original games has remained equally recognizable three decades later, but that cannot be said of the beloved Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar evolution line. Pokemon now has more than 1,000 species, with new generations continually adding characters that compete for attention for some, though not all, Pokemon. Some of the earliest designs have become closely tied to the identity of the franchise itself, continuing to appear in new games, merchandise, cards, and other parts of Pokemon long after their debut.
