You know how you can tell that someone is truly passionate about something? They’re able to string two sentences together about it without the help of a chatbot. Logan Paul, the content creator turned wrestler and person responsible, in no small part, for making it so that Pokémon fans can no longer get cards at a reasonable price, has once again decided to weigh in on the monster-taming series, this time by penning a love letter to Gengar. In doing so, he’s exposed not only that he’s a hopeless genwunner tourist, but also that he probably used ChatGPT to write that letter, suggesting he lacks the knowledge, insight, and passion himself to write such a missive.
Twitter user @tiaradraws posted a joke tweet asking why every man’s favorite Pokémon is Gengar, the ghost/poison-type monster from the original games. Most of the responses were from people weighing in with their actual favorites, but Paul, for some reason, decided to show up to the party no one invited him to to weigh in on why Gengar is so loved.
He starts off calling Gengar the “perfect Pokémon,” before spouting off some faux-intellectual analysis of its aesthetic and battle prowess, alluding to long-held theories about its lore, and mentioning its trade-based evolution. Paul also says that Gengar is so strong that it renders the “strongest” monsters like Machamp, a fighting-type Pokémon that hasn’t been competitively notable in decades, useless. All of this is dressed up in language that I don’t believe could come out of Paul’s mouth, much less his keyboard, and it also has some hilariously outdated information, such as the claim that Gengar is immune to ground-type moves, which hasn’t been true in over a decade, having lost the Levitate ability after Generation VI. Now, Gengar is not only not immune to ground-type attacks, it’s weak to them.
Gengar is the perfect Pokémon.
He’s essential to every trainer’s starting 6, with a versatile and unpredictable moveset.
If he’s taken damage? Hypnosis —> Dream Eater will put your opponent to sleep, suck their HP, and replenish yours. With the right trainer, he can’t be… https://t.co/CyiJD6oJNK

The whole thing is obviously performative, and likely comes from a chatbot. Paul’s credibility in the Pokémon community is non-existent after his repeated “how do you do fellow kids?” posting while he simultaneously talks about Pokémon card reselling like it’s a get-rich-quick scheme. So every time he tries to weigh in, fans descend upon him like a Tinkaton beating a Corviknight senseless, and when he sounds like he’s using a chatbot to feign passion for a series he’s only exploited and ruined for others, folks aren’t having it and are roasting him in the comments.
I’d love for Paul to stop cosplaying as a Pokémon fan, but if he did, I would lose out on the catharsis of a good ol’ dogpiling.
