I've really taken a liking to Banette recently. Its always been an interesting Pokemon to me- while it never really stood out amongst other ghost-types, it had a rather bizarre backstory behind it. In its Pokedex entry, it is stated that Banette was a discarded doll searching for its owner. Now that I look more closely at its design, it sort of does look like a doll with that zip in its mouth and a patchy look to it. I also really like Drifloon! Mainly for the cuteness, it just shows not all ghost-types are scary. Throw in the fact that it has a unique combo of typing, a diverse range of moves and is a very special Pokemon in general, what's not to love about this bubbly and cheerful balloon?
Why do you like ghost-types?
I'll be completely honest, when I first started playing I was terrified to death of them. I tried to avoid places where ghost-types could be lurking around and generally tried to avoid playing at night- or changed the DS clock if I had to. As time went on though, I plucked up the courage to actually use a ghost-type. It started with Gastly and I never regretted that decision. Why do I love ghost-types? They're unique, they give a nice twist to the game, they're powerful and can do all sorts of things. The stories behind them are in many creepypastas and I've never seen such an interesting type.
I love ghost-types for their backstories though mostly. Like the rumours of Gengar being Clefable's shadow, Banette being a discarded doll, they're all very interesting in my eyes. Yanmask being once a human was terrifying, but at the same time, they just stand out compared to other types. They have a great immunity to a common type, they can do all sorts of things- take you down with Destiny Bond, send blobby shadowy balls towards you and they usually have very good movepools. I just love ghost-types, they're really fun to use! And their concept is interesting. Ghost Pokemon seem sort of unreal- I've always thought of them as the 'spirits and phantoms' of the Pokemon series. They're so supernatural and out of this world, plus their designs are great. Once you actually get the courage to use these spooky Pokemon, they'll become a valuable team member I can guarantee you that. But the main reason I love them is because they're different, they have some of the coolest designs and are an absolute pleasure to use. :]
