== Ghost (literal) == | |||
Literal ghost is a conjectural name, but it's still a ghost never-the-less. Moving it to Ghost (literal) would show that it is literally a ghost of a dead Pokémon and not a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gengar}}. Anyone catch my drift? --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 15:41, 26 December 2010 (UTC) | |||
:I agree.

==Special Marowak Sprite== | |||
So while playing Yellow, my Pikachu named Scruffy following close behind, I encountered tons of these things. They were all purple and black. ... | |||
Except the Marowak. And I have a .PNG of the Marowak sprite. Is it needed? [[User:Dry Bones|<font color="#191970" face="Mistral">DB</font>]] 00:46, 29 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
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) | |||
== Just curious... == | |||
I remember playing Pokemon Blue when I was around 6-8 years old. Not truly the point, but I was wondering if maybe I was dreaming it up or if anyone else has ever encountered a literal ghost on some of the earlier floors before the Marowak battle? I strangely did encounter a couple and they would all turn into Growlithes. Just wondering if it was actually the game or if I was jsut dreaming that up when I was younger.

== In the Anime == | |||
Look at the "In the anime" section. It says "In the anime, a ghost of the same sort appeared briefly in The Tower of Terror. Later, a Haunter takes Ash's and Pikachu's souls out of their bodies after they have been struck by a chandelier." So I'm guessing a literal ghost appears before the chandelier incident. Where in the episode does the ghost appear briefly? Are there any screen captures or elaboration? [[User:Chrisjh0223|Chrisjh0223]] ([[User talk:Chrisjh0223|talk]]) 23:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC) | |||
*I watched that episode twice up to the point where Ash and Pikachu "die" in an attempt to see if I could find something, but the closest I could find to mathc the description was about 8 minutes in, when the gang walk into the dining room while it's still pitch-black and on the wall a painting of a woman wearing black sitting in a chair can be seen, and again just as Ash and Misty are about to flee (although her clothes are red this time around). Besides that, I couldn't see anything. [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] ([[User talk:LordHeinz|talk]]) 12:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

:The ghost is just the game giving an alternate sprite to the wild Pokémon that can normally appear (there's actually a glitch that allows you to view what the Pokémon really is).
