Watch Out For Ghosts...

What's that noise... oh, sorry, hi. Let's chat. Say anything you want, anything at all, I like to talk about Pokémon... at least I think I do...? Let me tell you a story...

Once upon a time there was a thread. This thread was a simple thread to chat about Pokémon in, just to chill back and have fun with friends, and we kept a counter going as we posted just to see how far we could get. Then they came... The more we spoke, the more things began to feel strange. People... changed, in that thread. One minute my friends would be acting completely normal, the next minute they'd change, they'd attack us, they'd scare us half to death. We began using the counter as a method of tracking their progress, trying to find the patterns they played by... We worked out that every time the counter hit 50, another of our friends would change into one of them. But when we reached 100... everything seemed ok again. Everything seemed cleansed. Other than the one unfortunate soul to still be counting... We only reached higher than that once, before the attacks came again - we thought we were in the clear, until I began to change myself. I'd hit 150. I started to twist, change... I never returned to how I used to be. I'm different, I'm changed. I scare myself sometimes, but I prefer to scare them instead... Sometimes I'll just shout "BOO!", and they all just have to start over again...

Now that you know my story, come count with me...

~ 1 ~

Becoming a Ghost...

  • If the counter reaches 50 on your post, you're turned into a regular Ghost!
  • If the counter reaches 100 on your post, every other Ghost is cleansed and returns to being human - other than you!
  • If you the counter reaches 150 on your post... good luck. You're now a permanent ghost and cannot be revived in any way!
  • As a Ghost, you can post "BOO!" to scare the thread at any time, resetting the counter to 0.
  • Feel free to post which Ghost-Pokémon you become when you change, otherwise I'll randomly assign you one!

Rules!

  • All Pokémon Trivia rules apply.
  • With every new post, increase the counter in the corner by 1.
  • If a Ghost comes in to scare the thread, reset the counter to 0.
  • Upon reaching 150, the counter is automatically reset to 0.
  • This is a DCC thread, so feel free to be creative with conversation topics!
  • Even though this is a chatting thread, all posts must be about Pokémon.
  • Try not to reset the count too much at first, we want a few ghosts to build up before the counts get more intense!
  • Have fun, or else!
Current Ghosts!

  • Squirrel
  • DyingWillFlareon
  • Sven (Guardian)
  • Fantome
  • Ash

Rewards!


You may be wondering why you should count up to your demise? Well, being a Ghost does have its perks... (Hover over images for details!)


Now, let's begin our own tale... What's your favourite Ghost-Pokémon?

Oh, dear. It's this thread, of all things haha. My favorite Ghost-type is definitely Dusknoir, mainly because of Mystery Dungeon. xD

Litwick! Adorable little candle it's so cute I can't handle.

( Also I was wondering whether to bring this back when we had The Bulbasaur Race. Thank you for making the decision for me and with a bonus no less!)

Personally, I would like to see a Ghost-type ninja Pokémon (besides Shedinja, of course).

I don't really like that many Ghost Types but I've always had a soft spot for the Gastly line, Shuppet, Sableye, and Litwick. They're cool/cute in their own ways! :)

I have some plushies, but no shinies.... I have Chespin, Flareon, Dedenne, and Poliwhirl. But my little brother got a Sylveon for his birthday and it's missing the front bow. O_O It looks so cool.

I have quite a few Pokemon plushies and then so many other stuffed animals in my room. Top it off with the other stuff in my room no one would walk in and think that a 22-year old sleeps in there. Especially not with a bed that has Pikachu Sheet/Blanket/Pillow and an Ash Plush to top everything else off.

Oh god I remember seeing your collection in the past, it was so impressive I was jealous paha. I've built up a bit more since we discussed them (not sure I ever showed you mine though!), will be taking a picture shortly to upload :D

haha oh yeah I did post it in the past didn't I! My Pokemon part have grown quite a bit since then. I had to move all the old stuff animals that were on my dresser tomake way for all the PIkachus I have. I should post updated pictures of my room sometime after I clean it.

I thiiiiink I remember seeing yours but it's been a while so I totally would love to see it again! I'd love to see everyone's collection haha. ♥

Nice topic!
18.

I dont understand one thing though. If post 50 always makes one ghost, and 100 removes that from all the ghosts but one, will there always be one ghost then?

Also guys dont discuss so fast. I wanna talk about ghosts and you're on the collections already.
Anyway, ghosts.
I love them, my third favorite type along Phychic.

My favorite by far would Haunter, probably from the moment I saw that anime episode of the Terror Tower (or sth like that). I prefer it a bit over Gengar cos Gengar is a bit too...round? I guess. Anyway, I love how it always has fun in its own twisted way, and he's amused by pretty much anything. Definitely one side of me,one of the reasons why he's in my Power/dream/whatever team. :D



Also have you noticed how Haunter's body looks like its not finished. I'd say it's full form is a huge four-legged cat/dog hybrid >: D


Also Squirrel, you could put in the 3D pokedex gifs in the first post (Misdreavus), it'd look better imo.

19. This reminds me of the "Watch out for zombies" game in Other Trivia a few years back. Those were pretty good times :]

Anywho, my favourite Ghost-type Pokemon is Cohagrigus! I don't quite remember the details but I do remember being obsessed with the Cohagrigus line a year ago or so, haha.

Awesome, another chatting topic, reminds me of that thread on Forum Games where moderators can reset the count.

The ghost type is one of my favorite types, following psychic and flying, tied with dark. My favorite ghost Pokémon are Ghastly's and Litwick's lines.

As for collection, I don't have any dolls. I do have a few figures, some posters, a bunch of cards and some tokens with Pokémon images on them which change their image if you watch from a different angle.

Spoiler:

I am most certainly not showing off my Primal Fight poster
Collection wise other than those dolls, I have a bunch of games, spin off games, cards, that poster, and a Victini figure(that I....lost....). With the cards I once got a coin that had Reshiram and Zekrom on it but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was, but I held it upside down and thought 'OH I GET IT, it's Mega Latias and Mega Latios!' But I mean I figured it out but still, a coin with FOUR Pokemon on it? XD

Haunter..... With four legs..... *shudders* That's kinda creepy. :D

@merch being posted: That is killer cute. I have quite a lot of merch but it's never enough! Just a few days ago my nine year-old brother spent some of his money to get me a Turtwig plush when we were at the toy store. So cuteeeee.

Ghosts are awesome too.. tied for my second favorite type next to grass. Banette is so dear to my heart.

Okay, wowww... I'm officially ashamed of my puny collection, which I previously thought was rather big. xD

My collection is unfortunately put away into boxes. I have a way too large collection of books that I needed room for, so pretty much all of my Pokemon merchandise had to go away into storage. The only things I have out are a few Charmander/Charizard things.

Favorite Ghost is probably Sableye, who's adorable and strong. I like its design.

Well I only have 4, so I'm sure yours is bigger Revise. XD Also I just remembered about this, but go ahead and add 'Pokemon HGSS Guidebook from a random Bookstore' to my merch list. XD
Maybe the Pokemon Company should consider making Mystery Dungeon plushies, with bandanas, Treasure bags, and Guild Badges.......?....

Still not that big of a fan of Ghost types, but their few weaknesses are pretty cool.
