THE FUSE

Sometimes you spend so much time looking at a Pokémon in a certain way that you never really stop to consider what it might actually look like in a different context. Mega Gengar, the superpowered transformation of the original Ghost-type Pokémon, is usually portrayed as if it’s peeking out from the ground, ready to drag any unsuspecting foe into the abyss with it. As such, its lower half is usually obscured from view. Pokémon Champions changes this in one very specific instance, and has revealed that Gengar’s Mega Evolution has an almost frog-like body with tiny, stubby little feet. I don’t know how to process this.
