Gastly Cloyster connection?

You know, I've always found it weird how Cloyster and Gastly are similar to each other in appearance. (Ignoring Cloyster's shell of course.) Besides that Gastly comes right after Cloyster. Has anyone else thought that this was odd. Were they supposed to be like that or was it merely coincidental?

What are your thoughts?  Discuss.

Alot of pokemon looks like other pokemon.
Charmander and cubone look a bit similar.
Farfetchd and cubone (same weapondry style, close range and on the same hand!)
Mew and Mewtwo are suspiciously alike too. Could it be a twin brother?  :???:
no but seriouly they probably just put a black ball in a shell and said "ohh lets put a black pearl and call it a monster." not realizing that the black ball was also used for a ghost.

I don't really think they do look a like. Gastly has big eyes, Closyer, doesn't. Closyer smiles, Gastly doesn't and has fangs at the sides of its mouth. It is odd that Rhyhorn and Charizard have a simliar cry to each other.

As a little kid I mistakenly thought Gastly was a dead Cloyster.

Same with Omanyte and Machop.

Yeah, Butterfree and Goldeen.

What I find funny (Kind of off subject though) is that Missingno. has two cries. The Shortened Nidoran Male cry and the (I think its a shortened Dragonair cry but I'm not too sure though.) cry that goes "Glinka!" An easy way to get this variation is to do the regular Mew trick (Or whatever you call it.) and fight the girl closest to the Route 15-Fuchsia gatehouse. That will give you the Missingno that says "Glinka"

If you haven't previously noticed the similarity between Venonat and Butterfree's faces, you have now.

Actually, I think MissingNo. and 'M have a higher-pitched cry of Zapdos.

I had a theory once that Venonat was planned as Butterfree's pre-evolution, but thought it was flawed because butterflies hatched from a cocoon from a Caterpillar and not a pupa from a…Posionous Furball, so they changed it.

Also, I do think that the blackish-purple orbs of Cloyster and Gastly look kind of similar…
