Not a whole lot of reference with this one. The only one I really squeezed in was the one where Pumpkaboos and Gourgeists are called "trick-or-treaters". This is because "Trick-or-Treat" is heir signature move. Originally I wanted to make it into a trait, but how it works in game is it gives the pokemon it is used against the Ghost-type (meaning it can have up to 3 types if it is a dual type pokemon). I had no idea how to incorporate that into DnD terminology (although the move causing a character to turn into an aberration type did cross my mind at first...). I also planned to make each of the 4 different sizes Gourgeists are known for into their own subraces, but it didn't make sense to do that. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 23:49, 10 July 2019 (MDT)
