Absol got dark/ghost before a regional Gengar
>>59062526Gengar will never get a regional. Shillmons don’t get those
>>59062534What does shillmon mean?
>>59062565Gengar is gen 1 and featured prominently. He’s a fan favorite without the push from marketing
>>59062526OH BOY! MORE KANTOOOOOOMONS GETTING REGIONALS!!!! YABBA DABBA DOOOOOOHHH!!!!
>>59062534But Slowpoke has always been a successful shillmon, yet it got a regional.
Why did they even make it Poison type?I get that Gastly is supposed to be made of poisonous gas or whatever, but they could've just not done that?
>>59062565A mon that is regularly shilled. Sometimes it's already an organically popular mon, other times Game Freak just REALLY wants it to be popular. Regardless, they will show it to you every chance they get. Examples of shillmons are Charizard, Lucario, Rotom, Zeraora, Gengar, Eevee and its evolutions, and of course Pikachu.
>>59062871Don't forget Machamp.
>>59062883That too
>>59062871Greninja, Cinderace, Gardevoir, Garchomp, Blaziken etc...

>>59062871>an organically Kekarooo
>>59062526Gengar deserves better but they rather nerf him and keep his horrible shiny
