Name[]
"Rick Gastly" is derived from Rick Astley, an English singer-songwriter, musician, and radio personality. He is known for his 1987 song, "Never Gonna Give You Up", which is commonly utilized in an online prank known as a Rickroll. This nickname's trait of coming from a pop culture is shared with TPP Crystal's Shuckle, "Shuck Norris".
Lore Interpretations[]
While no major lore has focused on Rick Gastly, as a Pokémon caught in the middle of Bloody Sunday, it is not uncommon to see him in pieces of art and the such for Bloody Sunday as a bystander. Later, several minor interpretations surfaced, mostly of things like Rick Gastly annoying the Daycare Man while singing.
