Would the White Joker be able to move as a Black Pawn or as a White Pawn? 

So far I've played whith the joker always imitating it's own pieces when they have different moves. So the white joker moves like a white pawn when imitating a black pawn. That makes sense to me more as generally speaking pawns advance, so should the joker. Maybe if you think about it a little you would feel quite awkward with your piece moving backwards. But when moving as a pawn the joker may not promote.

Thanks for your help!
