I can believe it. It´s not that weird, I thought that too, and I wasted a lot of Pokéballs. But that isn´t the stupidest thing: one of my friends thought that it was the "supreme Pokémon", and an evolution of GengarI always thought Ghost was a pokemon, and I wasted a bunch of great balls, trying to catch it. But hey! I was 5!
i remeber trying to capture the Ghost ::flashback::
I could never understand why people in the Pokémon World aren't afraid of Ghost-Pokémon, but are afraid of Ghosts.
