OK, I swear I can explain!

So you know how baby Gengars start off as a little floaty black ball with purple smoke around them?

Well back in Nua there's this popular toy that's a black ball with like this blue liquid inside and you shake it and there's a little die inside with different fortunes written on it. So you ask the ball a question, and then shake it, and whatever side of the die shows up in the little window is your answer!

It's meant to look like an 8-ball from pool, which is a sort of game played with this big table with six pockets and you hit the different balls into the pockets with a stick. You see pool tables at taverns a lot.

So... Ipso-flipso... Gastlies look like magic 8-balls! I know I should have probably named her something that would still make sense after she evolved, but I wasn't really thinking that far ahead when I caught her.
