What do you mean ended 20 years of precedent? He had a haunter in season one, for a short time anyways. It agreed to join him and is the reason he beat sabrina...again in theory considering he barely beat anyone...they usually just gave up and badged him out of pity. And before you throw a fit and say he never caught haunter in a ball, He never caught Pikachu in a ball either. So... no this would be his second ghost pokemon.

This is why I feel Journeys is better than most other generations. Doing every region through Kanto, and no elemental starters hogging ash's rosters. There are 18 types and Ash has mostly ignored the premium types like steel, ghost, dragon, psychic, fairy, dark. Elementals, Flying and Fighting have become too repetitive. This time there are two fighters but overall there is good variety. I just think if Ash defeat Leon this generation it would be anticlimactic as this is the first time his roster isn't noobish and won't set him back.

It wouldn’t be out of character for it to pretend to faint, and when the trainer’s Pokemon began to show pride it would ambush with a crit + KO. Honestly, Gengar’s set is pretty decent competitively but I would swap Sludge Bomb for Brick Break and possibly fit Ice Punch in there for ground coverage against pokemon like Landorus, who has 4x weakness to it and has powerful Earthquake.
