Not necessarily. If I'm not mistaken, they still helped against normal and fighting types. Just not against psychic types.

If I'm not mistaken they were not poison type until gen 2.

^ Um... no?
Gastly/Haunter/Gengar were dual-type Ghost/Poison since Gen 1.
So yeah.

Weird, cuz NOTHING affected haunter. I beat the elite four with just him and articuno. Of course, I had a kingler, gyarados, dragonite, and charizard on back up, and they were all at least level 70, but still!

The main use of Ghost in pokemon gen 1 was the fact that it was supposed to be Super-effective against the OP Psychic type. But psychic is super-effective against poison (which is probably what the comic is referring to), and in addition it was mis-programmed in a way that caused ghost to not effect psychic in gen 1, even though it was supposed to be super-effective.

Gengar is and was still a fast SPATK sweeper with a reasonable movepool, but yes. Dark pokemon came in to be what Ghost pokemon were supposed to be.

^Ghost pokemon still have the best designs overall, imo. There's a lot of good Dark types, but there's not a single ghost type I can think of I don't love.

(plus no fighting weakness)

Oh, don't get me wrong - if I played through any of them without a Ghost in my team I probably wouldn't bother playing at all. A great deal of hard counters and Levitate for added safety.

Just parroting what the nerds in the Video Game club blather about while I zone out.

Ghost type did half damage against Psychic types in Gen I. Instead of double damage, as it was intended to. I think they got the messages correct, though, so you had the "super effective!" thing, but it only did half damage.
