== Origin ==
Gengar seems to be a Clefable ghost or shadow: they are about of the same size and they have similar shapes (Gengar spikes can perhaps be Clefable wings) {{unsigned|Reizo20}}
== Trivia ==
With the Gastly/Haunter/Gengar line being treated as fully Ghost Types and I believe their secondary typing has not once been addressed in the anime (or even mentioned in a single episode). Would it be noteworthy that they are the only Generation I Pokémon whose secondary typing has not been mentioned once or used in the Anime?

:They never mention any of the flying/normal types either. I don't think it's that important to be honest. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 03:12, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

How do I get the box off my writing on the pages? Please tell me! Its realy annoying![[User:Ashichu|Ashichu]] ([[User talk:Ashichu|talk]]) 14:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

== Question about ゲンガー ==
That reads Ge N Ga (with that fourth character modifying the Ga), not Gangar.  Why does it say Gangar?  I've noticed this in quite a few pages, but I especially remember this one (now that we can edit, I'm asking now).  {{unsigned|Sinnoaria}}
:It's the trademarked romanization, so while it's not how it would normally be read, it's how it's written out on official products.  This is also the reason for any other ones you've probably seen.  --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 05:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

== Shiny Mega Gengar ==
I don't know how to edit Wiki pages, but I bred a shiny ghastly and raised it to a shiny Gengar. Wanted to add the photo to Gengar's page. Here it is: [http://i.imgur.com/m5nVkZ5.jpg] Hopefully someone who knows how to Wiki will add this photo for me. Thanks! {{unsigned|Omgourds}}
== Two new trivia. ==
Since I don't really know how to wiki, here two info that could pottentially fit in the trivia section.
*When viewing mega gengar in its pokedex entry, you are unable to move the camera up or down.
*Gengar, along with scizor, are the only pokémon unable to participate in sky battle that evolve form pokémon that are able to.

==Totoro Origin==
Because of it's shape, grin and ability to fly, it could also be based on Totoro. {{unsigned|Robbie}}
:It doesn't really resemble Totoro much at all.  Anyways, we try to avoid mentioning other copyrighted works in origins unless it's something that's unambiguously clear.  --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 00:42, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
:Sure it does; it has a round shape, long pointy ears, a grin, and flies in the air.[[User:Robbie|Robbie]] ([[User talk:Robbie|talk]]) 22:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
== When Gengar Mega Evolves... ==
When Gengar Mega Evolves, is that little "gem" in its forehead the Gengarite, or is it actually part of Gengar's body? I read the Mega Evolution description and to be honest, I'm confused! [[User:WATERWARRIOR67|WATERWARRIOR67]] ([[User talk:WATERWARRIOR67|talk]]) 14:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia: Both Steelix and Gengar tied with the distinction of being the first trade induced evolution (with or without item) to be met wild ==
Both Steelix and Gengar tied with the distinction of being the first trade induced evolution (with or without item) to be met wild,
which occurred in Generation IV.
While Gengar comes first in the National Dex, it does require a third generation cart dongle,
whereas Steelix can be encounterable without any such gimmicks.
After Gen IV, some other Trade-induced evolutions may be encounter-able in the wild (depending on the game),
Such as Politoed, Huntail etc.

:We generally go by the rule that something has to be unique (the only ''one'') to be worth noting in Trivia. Since this is two separate Pokémon, it doesn't meet that rule. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:31, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
