- You've heard the tales of Lavender Town countless times, but the true hauntings occur in a place that isn't even haunted: Pokémon Mansion. Eerie at best and horrifying at worst, here's why Pokémon Mansion is truly one of the scariest places in all of Pokémon.

Pokémon’s best game experiences were the unexplained, and incredibly confusing locations. I felt so stressed and anxious exploring the caves and buildings that had puzzles or storyline’s that had no explanation and were designed to discombobulate the player.
That’s what’s missing from the new games, the intense mystery, the unexplained, the unpredictable twists and turns. Everything is so predictable, there’s no mystery, and personally I think that’s due to either lack of creativity (and outsourcing) or simply trying to attract a younger audience by making everything incredibly easy.
Also, it confuses me when they claim the game to be design for children and yet the dialogue in the game is never ending. As a kid playing Pokemon it took me so long just to understand a few lines let alone a whole 7 minute conversation 😂 if they wanted all of that dialogue and to cater to children, they should really consider voice acting (and a skip dialogue but give me the cliff notes option)
Damn, hit the nail on the head. I never really thought about the lack of mystery in the later games but you're spot on. Also the dialogue is honestly the worst and again, I never thought about how bad it is for kids. Such a weird choice 😂
The one thing I perhaps regret about Gen 1 is being a bit too young to understand it's impact. I was 6 when it came out, and to the best of my recollection I never really had visceral reactions to the things like the above just because they went over my head. Did I understand that the Pokemon Mansion was the abandoned burned out lab where Mewtwo was created? Yes, but I truly didn't understand what that *MEANT* , the context that that would entail. I truly believe that Gen 1 when you get into the nitty and gritty of it is the some of the Darkest Pokemon has been.
100% agreed! As I mentioned in the video, this place really did scare me as a kid (I think I was about 8 years old), but revisiting as an adult gave added context that justified my feelings as a kid. Truly gives me chills.
I've never felt unsettled by the Pokémon Mansion, but I do find it really curious that one location in the series with a weird unethical cloning lab just happened to be annihilated by a volcano not long after the monster they created escaped. Maybe the monster returned and made the volcano erupt.
What I love about this place is how there's so much up for speculation. The mystery of Pokémon Mansion really enthralls me.
To me the scariest thing of this place is not kust how big and empty it is, but how similar that makes every room look. I always thought Id be lost forever in there; thinking I'd never be able to find my way out just because everything looks the same.
Very good video ❤. This place deserves more love
As unsettling the place was i loved Cinnabar Mansion. It has a aura of mystery and even more undiscovered mysteries from what we already know.
That and New Island on Mewtwo Strikes Back kinda sets the tone of what Mewtwo end up becoming and the experiments done on that island thus becoming my favorite place in all the movies.
100% agree, Mewtwo's backstory is one of the coolest and most mysterious things in Pokemon. Also, sick DMC pfp 👍
@@Testostyronne Indeed. My favorite scene in the movie was when Team Rocket activated the cloning machine and it started explaining in a way how Mewtwo was created from Mew's DNA and stuff, it was a really cool thing for me back then.
Haha thanks lol, i have that Dante pic for a few years now as a Pfp
This dungeon is why I carry an escape rope or teleport pokemon at all times.
Oh boy, you're speaking my language. I never wanna feel this claustrophobic in a Pokémon game again.
or Dig
@@ahha6304 right cause you can dig out of buildings in older gens.
@@Sepricotaku Yeah, I always have dig and teleport in team in below Gen 6
It could be a coincidence but after messing around with Missingno too much, I found that my game would often glitch out and freeze while walking from the mansion entrance to the first stairs. Coupled with the music, the idea of Missingno on the island and the barren feeling of the mansion made it a pretty creepy place for me as a kid.
That's freaky!! I gotta try this myself! I didn't even talk about Missingno in this video, this whole island is truly cursed.
I don't remember if this scared me or not as a kid, but I do remember being super lost. Constantly.
I always assumed most of the NPCs were looting the place, since one of the first fights in there is a Burglar.
Good video, I love the mansion.
I don't remember being as lost in a Pokémon location anywhere near as much as this place. It really contributed to the anxiety for me.
@@Testostyronne I can totally see that feeding anxiety.
Thank you for detailing this part of the game. Super sick. Maybe a part 2 of where Mewtwo is now and the environment of Cerulean cave?
Sick idea! I'd love to make more like this about other eerie places that don't get as much love because they aren't as in your face with ghosts and whatnot, such as Ruins Of Alph or Cerulean Cave
@Testostyronne it's a great concept! Just got to piece it together xP
i partially agree. first of all i think gen 1 had the most scary places. i am scared of lavender but pokemon mansion is also very freaky and eerie and more so on the gen 1 games compared to fr/lg and lets go. i would love if people would talk more on the pokemon mansion
Oh yeah, this one’s gonna hit the algorithm
Thanks for contributing to that legend ❤
I felt the exact same way as you. I love this area now though lel.
To me, what's creepy about this place is that its a more realistic type of horror. Not ghosts or demons, but the horror of men playing gods with nature and genes, and being destroyed by their megalomania. Failing to contain the power of the abomination they created and realizing it too late.
Oh man, that's such a great point. Lavender Town is so in your face and doesn't strike the same chord as Pokémon Mansion. The mind is left to wander as to what actually went on here and the implications are pretty disturbing.
One thing you didn't mention that I found interesting are the subtle hints that Mr Fuji and Blaine were scientists that worked on creating Mewtwo. As a kid, I loved the idea that Mr Fuji once worked for Giovanni and possibly wrote the creepy diary entires. It was pretty much confirmed in pokemon origins which took a bit of the mystery away.
I thought about talking about Mr. Fuji, but I wanted to stick to what the game itself shows and to my knowledge and research, I couldn't find any nod to it. Honestly the whole premise of Mewtwo's backstory can go down a huge rabbit hole, but I felt that took away from Pokémon Mansion a bit too much and focused on Mewtwo, which wasn't the aim of this video.
I do remember this being creepy as a kid, far more unsettling that the Pokemon Tower. I do think it was the music and large open spaces with little decoration that did it. Everywhere else in the game has some kind of furniture or is cramped but not this place.
Yeah it truly has a unique feeling to it that's hard to pinpoint, especially as a kid. So damn unsettling...
In real life, cloned animals are usually born through the same means as uncloned animals, so it's odd that Mewtwo was born, not because clones aren't born, but because Mew should lack the anatomy to give birth.
Very interesting point! Pokémon do be full of unanswered questions 😳
Good video.
Though, I suggest lowering the volume of the music slightly.
Good suggestion! I highly considered doing that (and if you watch my last video, you'll notice a difference in volume), but I wanted the music to be more prominent since it was such a huge focus of the video. Appreciate the feedback and will definitely make this change going forward!
@@Testostyronne I actually understood what you were going for there.
It was almost perfect. lol
I can really recommend playing the team rocket edition. Its a ROM hack that fills the gaps in the story about Mewtwo and team rocket. It does this so well, absolutely a great ROM!
Just play ash gray
Thanks for the suggestion!! I really gotta check out more ROM hacks. I do wanna ask though, does the story gap filling take away from the mystery of it all or does it do it in a way that keeps the scariness and illusiveness alive?
@@Testostyronneyou can say it takes away the mystery, however it's just a proposed parallel story to the Kanto storyline, a theory if you may. I also played it and highly recommend it, it connects a lot of dots and brings a whole new perspective while keeping the original experience intact. Even some things you could see as plot holes in the original story get an explanation and gain a new sense.
It's been so long since I've played a Gen 1 game that i don't even really remember the Pokemon Mansion despite watching hours and hours of Pokemon content every week, because you're right, no one really talks about it even though it's a key dungeon. Your video made me want to go back and replay Gen 1 in a way no video has in a while.
Wow that's a huge compliment, thank you! I had to basically speed run a playthrough just to record the footage and it made me wish I could just slow down and take it all in more 😂 Still, even as an adult and purely being there to record footage, I still found myself being freaked out. The part at 2:04 about the dead end rooms genuinely took me off guard. I walked in and yelled, "What's the point of this room?!" Something I never noticed as a kid gave me something new to be scared of about this place. I even checked every tile for an item... nothing. Gen 1 might be overrated, but that don't mean it's bad. I definitely wanna play through properly too.
The Old Chateau in DPPt was pretty creepy too back in the day.
Oh without a doubt! I just wanted to highlight Pokémon Mansion as I feel like it doesn't get enough love
@@TestostyronneI never actually played the originals and don’t recall anything about the mansion in the Let’s Go games. I’ll have to recheck it out 😄.
@@frozenkisses131 Let's GO definitely doesn't give the same creepy feel unfortunately, but still worth checking out. There IS however, a really cool Easter Egg if you bring Mewtwo and Mew there to the tube Mewtwo broke out of.
You know there was always a volume dial right? The music I didn’t like, I simply turned it the hell down.
Sorry about that 😅 I did consider adjusting the voluming while editing but since it was such a key point in the video, I decided against it. If you watch my other videos, you'll see I usually keep the volume quieter. Thanks for the feedback, I'll do better next time!
Whats your scariest experience in Pokémon? 😱
encountering mr. Mime
that thing is terrifying
Finding MissingNo without knowing it was a cheat/glitch and thinking I had broken my game.
@@mrzardelt Holy heck, this is all too real. I legit cried when I lost some of my Pokémon due to that thing 😅
So how do you feel about Blaine for pranking kids (including you) into going to that labyrinthine hellscape? Lol
I say good luck to them 😂 Although it was scary for me as a kid, it's still a memory I'm ultimately glad I have
Phasmophobia crossover with Pokemon Mansion when?
You read my mind!
In fire red I got my first shiny in there (koffing ☠️)
Bro that's a sick shiny, I wish this place brought me something cool like that instead of just fear and dread
I mean, we've spent more than 20 years talking about it. Everyone is sick of talking about it that's why no one brings it up anymore.
I mean comparing Pokémon Mansion to places like Lavender Town, it's absolutely not talked about a lot.
"promo sm" 😩
Eh it's not that scary.
Brave 😳
I feel like you’re making it more dramatic than it seems brother
Nah man, these are my genuine experiences as a kid. Pokémon Tower is the place where people go to be dramatic
@brohammed94 Y U salty brother Y lol
Actually, no location in pokemon is scary because pokemon is a baby game for actual children
Real
@koboldgeorge2140 LoL Y U MAD
