because the only ghost pokemon in gen 1 was gengar, who was a physical atta- oh wait

>Why are lick, astonish, and shadow punch physical?
try using your brain for more than 2 seconds zoomer
Kevin Torres
they fucked up when assigning properties in gen 1 and chose to roll with it
Isaac Wilson
i dont know but check this guy out

The only one of those that's "physical" is Lick. There's nothing physical about making a scary projection of yourself, or launching a fist made of shadows.
Christopher Lopez
why is ice PUNCH special? checkmate boomie
Gabriel Diaz
That's why gen 2 Crunch and Bite are Special, right? Or the elemental punches? Or Waterfall? I can go on for literally dozens of examples.

Great, now tell us which Ghost moves were in Gen 1, retarded zoomer.
Hudson Butler
They wanted to balance Gengar by making both of his STAB types bad for him to use.
Asher Baker
Basically why the Split was necessary.
Charles Cox
Gamefreak didn't give a fuck about competitive back then so whatever quirks existed in gen 1 was completely accidental.
Tyler Turner
>why is ICE punch special?
gee wiz I wonder why!
Easton Anderson
Lick can also be made from shadows like Shadow Punch, Shadow Ball, etc...
So could have been special like the Elemental Punches, Bite and Crunch, etc...
Oliver Rivera
>but SHADOW punch is physical because uh.. because uh.... it just is, okay!
Robert Rogers
If Dragon Rage is enough for Dragon to be Special, Night Shade's enough for Ghost to be as well.
Dylan Butler
Correct
Kayden Edwards
I accept your concession, boomie.
Andrew Mitchell
Ghost = physical
Ice = special
You must be retarded if you don't get it
Anthony Edwards
Woah there was a Dragon version of Lick in gen 1?
Eli Wood

James Sullivan
I'm not sure what you're missing.
Colton Collins
At first I thought it was for it to be a counter to the Psychic type, but I forgot that Ghost types don't effect Psychic types in Gen 1
Then I thought it was to balance out the amount of physical and special types in Gen 1, but then I learned there are actually more physical types in Gen 1
Now I just think it was arbitrary and there is no reason.
Nicholas Carter
Feel free to keep gaslighting boomie, but you lost, and the split proves it.
Easton Phillips
>making lick physical is arbitrary
Zachary Sanchez
>shadow punch is still physical
You're actually autistic aren't you?
Jeremiah Collins
>Ghost is physical because of Shadow PUNCH
>Ignore that there were several other punch moves that weren't physical
deluded
John Scott
>but I forgot that Ghost types don't effect Psychic types in Gen 1
That was a glitch. It's stated in-game by a trainer in Sabrina's gym that Psychic is weak to Ghost.
Carter Davis
If that's the case then I think it was done to counter psychic, but then Bug was also physical in Gen 1 so I don't know.
Brayden Howard
Imagine being this disingenuous
Boomers are a plague
Noah Cooper
It wasn't a glitch. It's explicitly programmed that way.

Not ignoring when you consider that those types have tons of other moves that aren't punches.
Aaron Campbell
All Gen 1 media explicitly said that Psychic was weak to Ghost.
