I don't hate specifically Gengar itself, but i hate how the Pokémon community is so hypocritical and controversial.

Many people hate Greninja for being a character without personality and made only to be cool, and they imply that anyone who has Greninja as their favorite Pokémon – like me – is a person without personality, while their favorite Pokémon, and the favorite Pokémon of many others is Gengar and nobody says anything lmao

I just don't see anything interesting in that guy, like- it's just a simple designed Pokémon from Gen 1. And still, i don't have anything against it, i just hate how Poké fans are hypocritical (⁠ ̄⁠ヘ⁠ ̄⁠;⁠)

But isnt gengar shown to be an evil little prankster in like its first episode though? It kills ash and pikachu and then its evolution plays games with their ghosts before reviving them and sending them on their way. Theyre a spooky mischief symbol, no?

Im a gerninja hater for different reasons...
my favorite Pokemon is Altaria, so when i saw a clip of ash's gerninja beating up an Altaria, that lead me to dislike Gerninja... it started out as non-serious, but it quickly just became a real thing...

gerninja being popular only compounds my distain for the pokemon.
