    Gengar has always been my favorite Pokemon since I was a kid. I was always told he was a bad character and evil. But he's not. Despite what the Pokedex entires may say, the Pokedex is written by a human, and one susceptible to fear. I think Gengar's kinda like the Possum of the Pokemon world. They're feared but they're actually super sweet creatures.

    This is why I feel Journeys is better than most other generations. Doing every region through Kanto, and no elemental starters hogging ash's rosters. There are 18 types and Ash has mostly ignored the premium types like steel, ghost, dragon, psychic, fairy, dark. Elementals, Flying and Fighting have become too repetitive. This time there are two fighters but overall there is good variety. I just think if Ash defeat Leon this generation it would be anticlimactic as this is the first time his roster isn't noobish and won't set him back.
