Gengar | Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}'', a term for ghosts found in Scandinavian folklore. | ||
