What you encountered was because of the games' habit of using a specific colour palette for each pokemon due to colour limitations of the earlier games, particuarly since colour games had not long been released. Pikachu, for example, would use a yellow palette, while growlithe would use orange. Starmie was a special case, because even back then it was supposed to be 3 colours, but Nintendo had to use grey as a "safe" colour and a similar case held true for Tentacool and Tentacruel. Their "gems" were blue in those games due to a limited colour palette. Catch my drift? So, when you encounter a disguised ghost, it uses the palette of the pokemon you encounter, so a disguised Cubone or Marowak would use brown/grey while a Gastly/Haunter would use purple. What you're suggesting is not really needed and it is mentioned in the trivia. [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] 01:43, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

==MissingNo.'s Ghost forme==
Is it worth menthoing that in Japanese Green and Red (and maybe Blue... I don't know about Yellow) if a Ghost forme MissingNo. is encountered its name will be dispalyed as "ゴースト ''Ghost''" instead of the usual "けつばん ''Ketsuban''"?
Also, according to this article, Ghost's Japanese name is "ゆうれい ''ghost''"... I don't think this is right (I will check my Pokémon Green Version later).  I know that Haunter's Japanese name is "Ghost" so if the Ghost's name was "Ghost" then it could cause confusion... but I thinkt hat it ''was'' done that way.  I mean, why would Ghost-forme MissingNo. have the name "ゴースト" if the Ghost's name is "ゆうれい"?  I don't think that it's referring to Haunter.
