Described by his friends as "the embodiment of goo and shadows", Jinji the Gengar is a mischievous, fun-loving spook who never takes anything too seriously, except when it comes to battle! Originally the persona of one of Pokémon World Online's most famous Admins, Jinji has since taken on a life of his own as the Gengar master of an ever-growing band of Ghosts who treat each other as family; and who enjoy playing pranks, having fun and fooling about both with their hauntings and with each other. They follow Jinji's mantra of Lawful Neutrality and try to act spooky and scary but never actually harm anyone, unless they are a direct threat to themselves or other innocent life.
This site serves as the new online home for Jinji the Gengar; where he and his human handler (not Trainer – Jinji will never be tamed!) will host all the artwork designed for or with him over the years; publish new stories; and expand on the comic universe of Jinji and his many friends – both Ghost and non-Ghost – with new character descriptions, explanations of his canon, and an in-depth look into the many concepts and headcanons that make up the Realm of the Ghosts.

For a number of years now, Jinji’s appearance has remained remarkably consistent in all his appearances in artwork and stories produced both by and for Jinji. Jinji is always a Generation 3-style male Gengar, and even appearances in other forms such as Mega Evolution have been few and far between. But what if that wasn’t […]
Portal Day has come once again, and Jinji and his friends have been getting into the spirit (pun intended 😛) of merriment, celebrating Jinji’s special, once-in-a-year moment in their own special ways. With it comes two brand new Birthday-themed works!
For those looking for a true Birthday blast, check out the Side Stories where you’ll find a brand new comic, “The Sugar Rush!“. Another comic collaboration designed by Kumada Panda based on ideas from Jinji, this hilarious new comic sees Jinji challenged by Phantisserie to collect candy for his Birthday – with an explosive twist!
Or maybe you prefer to see Jinji getting gooey instead? We got you covered. One year to the day of the Ghostly Celebration, Kitty the Gengar Queen has returned the favour with her own hand-drawn artwork. Jinji is presented with a cake by Kitty, only to be caught unawares as Gargantua and the kids start pouring a huge quantity of slime right above them!
Jinji gives thanks […]
A new comic story designed by Kumada Panda based on ideas by Jinji, to celebrate Jinji’s 2022 Birthday. With the assistance of Ghost, Jinji’s friends and family surprise him with a huge jar of sweets… but he’ll need to be quick if he wants to keep them all as Phantisserie sets him a rather explosive […]
A crossover spin-off comic created as another collaboration between Jinji and Kumada Panda, which ironically turned into the longest comic strip ever written by the pair – at 15 pages long – despite having originated as one of Jinji’s simplest ideas. Having been a fan of the Neopets villain Meuka for years, Jinji is surprised […]
The “Miscellaneous Art” page has been updated to add a whole bunch of artworks designed by one of my close friends, KittyTheGengarQueen, over the past year. In addition, there is now a dedicated section for artworks that feature gifts or celebrations as their theme, since a significant number of recently-added artworks feature this theme. There […]
Another collaboration storyboarded by Jinji and drawn by Kumada Panda/xxlPanda. Jinji asks his fellow Ghosts for privacy as he sets about on another study session; but when he doesn’t emerge from his room over 24 hours later, the Ghosts become concerned and decide to check up on him. Little do they know they are about to become key players in Jinji’s slimiest prank yet!
Following on from my recent announcement about changes to my official character profiles in order to improve navigation and add information about each character’s first appearances, each character’s profile has now been further fleshed out, with Jinji, Phantisserie and Gaspar all now having a new section describing their beliefs and superstitions; and Alessandro a new […]
I have rolled out a new change to the Character Profile section of the page, adding a “back” button to each profile to make it easier to return to the original list. In addition, all characters besides Jinji now include a link to their first appearance, so you can quickly find your way to the […]
Just a little heads-up (since the law requires me to let you all know): In order to help me get an idea of how popular the Jinji the Gengar website is; and which stories, comics and other content is getting the most attention, in the last few minutes, I installed software on the Jinji the Gengar website that counts how many times each page on the site has been visited. How this works can be read on the Privacy Policy and Legal page, which I have just updated. For legal reasons, I must make clear that by continuing to use this site, you automatically agree to the new Privacy Policy. Don’t worry though, it’s nothing scary – I remain committed to protecting user privacy and have no interest in collecting user data; so the software doesn’t collect any data besides what page you went to, and whether the page was a new visit, or simply you clicking the “refresh” button 🙂
I made a small alteration today to my official Character Profile for Jinji, in order to better outline the intended colouration of his unique tongue. The changes have been pushed to both here, my official website; and to DeviantArt, where if you are a watcher, you should have received a notification about the update in the last few minutes. For anyone else, consider this your notice 😉
Please note that while I generally endeavour to keep everything as up-to-date as I can as timely as I can, until such time as there is a cross-posting tool that supports my website alongside DeviantArt and Patreon, generally it will be my website that receives the latest updates first. So if you’re interested in reading the latest Jinji the Gengar news, always make sure to keep this site bookmarked and keep checking this front page for the latest updates!
