I believe that there's some sort of unwritten rule where, if you're making a Pokémon horror game, then you must have at least one mention of Lavender Town in there.
@@bluemagician9724 that too, but the character in the game itself is in a purgatory learning to accept death, which is a metaphor for someone learning to accept the death of older games, because silver himself is the namesake for his game.
9:04 "Lost Silver? What are you talking about he's right here!" This pun kinda got me not gonna lie. Also, I would really like to see you go over Snow on Mt. Silver, it's a really good creepypasta.
Hearing the Lavender Town's theme song has never been the same ever since it left an impact on the ears of Japanese children to the point of becoming an urban legend on the Internet today, spawning a lot of creepypastas and horror games that were inspired from it. In the world of Pokemon horror games, you never catch 'em all. It catches you instead.
1:57 I just got to this part, but that white hand isnt entirely made up. There is a genuine line from a girl in lavender town, where if you tell her that you dont believe in ghosts, she says "Teehee! Of course! That white hand on your shoulder; It's not real." Which is really weird for a pokemon game, and was even included in the "let's go" remake
Ah yes the Pokemon Adventures manga, where everyone tries to kill each other all the times using pokemons -or swords- in a kid-friendly franchise. Still my guilt pleasure tho, Gold my belevoled hero 🙏
I thought and still think it sounds like the atmosphere of people devastated in their mourning, to the point where they might be a little dangerous now, to themselves and others. Breaking inside, and possibly ready to (Pokémon) snap on the outside. Or just become really freaky ghosts when they die.
1:55 I think the thing with Burried Alive was like it would somehow replace the final trainer in the tower and it would use White Hand because of the person outside of the tower talking about a hand on your shoulder if you tell her ghosts aren’t real or something and then you have to lose to Burried Alive and when you do he’d say something about fresh meat and then he’d eat you or something and then somehow Burried Alive would replace your Gameboy’s boot screen so that trying to play any game would cause the game over screen to appear or something. Also I distinctly remember the original story claiming that the game over screen was stored as a png file despite A. The boot sector of a Gameboy not being able to hold that much data, and B. The Gameboy cannot display any regular file formats because it can only read 2BPP compressed graphics data.
I think the game over screen just bricked the cart, not the entire Gameboy. And it had some kind of insanity-causing anomaly that I don't think was just the Lavender Town music but I'm not totally sure.
Easter Egg: Snow on Mt. Silver was my favorite creepy pasta as a kid. Although, Cursed Black was a second favorite. in fact, I love a lot of these Pokémon horror games. I just wish that most of them got completed and finished instead of cancelled
My personal favorite was Strangled Red, yeah its edgy af, but I love how it goes into the possible lore of a champion before Red or Garry/Blue though now I jokingly call it "A Dramatic Version Of A Failed Nuzlocke" Snow On Mt.Silver is a close second but the creepy Pikachu kinda kills it Another one I remember kinda liking was Blues Tears but looking back its so damn edgy (yeah most creepypastas were stupidly edgy) FNF did get me back into pokepastas and I loved the take on Strangld Red and other pokepastas such as Mt.Silver and of course Lost Silver
5:32 I know this isn't the point of the video but good god it's such a jumpscare seeing Wii Deleted You in the wild away from it's rather small fandom.
Another detail about Lost Silver - in the menus, the character portrait would gradually get more and more mutilated, losing limbs and body parts as the player progressed. Also, while it’s hard to tell from the angle of the sprite, the Celebi in the player’s inventory has only the right half of its body.
Hypnos lullaby fnf is so special to me because of the huge nostalgia hit and the attention of detail to the songs and fights. Monochrome goes crazy hard and I definitely recommend you listen to it if you haven't
I still don't know how little me wasn't afraid of what went on in the manga. Like how did I not freak out at the Abra being sliced in half, or the venom from Abra melting away at Pokémon??
I checked out that Mack sectorguy you mentioned in the first game and he looks like he has some real talent, thanks for giving him a shout. I love it when big channels highlight smaller youtubers like that.
The OG Red version was my initial start into becoming OBSESSED with Pokémon! I remember when I first saw Drowzee, I instantly fell in love with it! Then, when it evolved into Hypno, then it was my all-time overall favorite Pokémon! Then Espeon got introduced in gen2, Gold and Silver, and then Espeon became my new all-time overall favorite Pokémon! Hypno is still my number one favorite gen1 Pokémon! The ancient Japanese folklore of The Baku will always be my favorite piece of ancient Japanese folklore and Hypno being based off of that is why it's still my favorite gen1 Pokémon! ❤
Can I mention how weirdly uncomfortable hearing the Lavender Town music. Like the town itself isn't really that creepy but the music that plays just creeps me out so badly
Song that creeped people out, a story about a mournful pokemon wearing parts of its mother's corpse, and a tower that contains literal ghosts that you can't even attack at first, that're mildly implied to be actually dead pokemon.
Unown King's name reminded me of the Nameless King's name from the soulsborne series (I think elden ring?). And unownvee just staring at you with one eye is just deeply unsettling for me.
GOD the nostalgia of Escape From Lavender Town, I probably would have played it around age 6-7, I was obsessed with creepypastas at the time, I didnt find them scary but OH MY GOD, actually playing one terrified me, to be honest, the shock did wear of after a while but I will forever remember that feeling of my heart sinking into my chest as the game re-booted when I pressed ESC
In regards to Pokémon Cursed, every gym leader has multiple teams for different challengers depending on badges and skill level. That is my theory on why the mom bested the Ghost.
you forgot to show the badges stats in lost silver ......... 18:30 its propably because the gym leaders hold back acording to how many gym badges you own ....like this is pretty standard pokemon knowledge
I'm so sorry for this, but when I saw the thumbnail, the first thing I thought of was that the colors of the ghost sprite looked like the bisexual pride flag.
I have a purple shirt with the original ghost sprite on it from lavender town. Even as a kid, that sudden shift in tone made me uneasy hahah. But i loved it so much as a kid, i saw a shirt about it and bought it as an adult
I'll be completely honest, I saw some of these when I was really young and they seriously screwed me up. The original RBY Lavender Town music genuinely gives me flashbacks to when I was young and thought all of this could be real, and I kinda can't listen to it without some sort of filter or warning. So I guess Lavender Town Syndrome is real, and I have it. Lol
What makes it nonsense in the last one is that you defeat: THE FUSION OF THE TWO FIRST MYTHICAL (Not legendary) POKEMON, UNOWN KING, WHOM COULD KILL EVERYONE IN HIS CREEPYPASTA, AND CORRUPTION WHO MADE THOSE TWO POSSIBLE... with an underleveled no evo starter
I used to think lavender town syndrome was real, since I got exposed to the pokemon creepypastas when I was very young. White hand and buried alive also terrified me as a kid to the point I didnt want a Gameboy and copy of pokemon gen 1 anymore, this was way after they were able to be purchased via retail but weren’t as expensive as they are now. I thought they were also real and it terrified me.
Many people started playing the games after watching the Anime, which was very much a kids show about cute harmless creatures, then you play the game and get to the creepiest city that is obsessed with death.
Who else here would love a Pokemon game is graphic and realistic (as in how the animal Kingdom actually works)? Imagine having a Charmander as your starter and you completely burn Ratatas to a crisp, or a Squirtle which will slice through Pokemon with its concentrated water attacks, spraying the blood and guts of your foe everywhere. Half of catching a Pokemon is making sure you don't just literally kill it while bringing down its health to catch it. The Pokemon manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu had that sort of vibe to it, that Pokemon are dangerous creatures which shouldn't be taken lightly, and one wrong move with a wild or tamed one can kill you or your Pokemon companions. As much as I love the lighthearted tone of Pokemon, it would be awesome to have a more dark and graphic version of it, basically an Electric Tale of Pikachu 2.0
I recommend if you revisit this, look at Pokemon Dusk (Remastered specifically because of better balancing). Has quite a bit of content and a few dialogue choices that can change the ending.
"Wouldn't you want to throw hands with Pokemon?" Well, Legends Arceus has that. Throwing rocks and powder satchels less than punching them, but you can still fight the Pokemon directly. We need more of that though.
There are some pokemon horror games you missed like: Pokemon Death Version Uhcakip/Pokémon Death Version 2 Cursed Forever/Pokémon Death Version 3 Snow On Mount Silver Alone.exe
The music from the first game always gave me a headache when I watched the headphone videos. I tested it three times to see if it was the video or me and it really gave me a headache every time.
I believe that there's some sort of unwritten rule where, if you're making a Pokémon horror game, then you must have at least one mention of Lavender Town in there.
Or an fnf mod lol
Hell bell:
If you know you know
If not I will explain
so true beta claus
@@RydC_lmaoexplain
Lavender Town and Pokémon dying instead of fainting.
BtW you can beat Hypno’s Lullaby by literally just running away from the battle and the game just kinda turns back into Fire Red.
Capture hypno with a Pokeball works too
Except for Hypno having god stats and the starters being three children Oak lured to his lab, of course
lol that’s amazing
Free fire red rom!
At what battle?
Hypno Lullaby was the scariest thing ever as a kid. Non stop looking up lore and creepy pasta videos. Glad it may a come back a few years ago
Is it possible to find Oaks Grandson in Hypnos Lullaby?
The reason why he was doing it in the first place is because his owner died by bullies so he decided to avenge his owner by taking someone they love.
Lost silver is about the main character (Silver) being in purgatory, learning to accept his death after a long time denying it.
I thought it was about a rom hacker being sad that old games are forgotten
@@bluemagician9724 that too, but the character in the game itself is in a purgatory learning to accept death, which is a metaphor for someone learning to accept the death of older games, because silver himself is the namesake for his game.
Gold not Silver. Silver is the rival
9:04 "Lost Silver? What are you talking about he's right here!"
This pun kinda got me not gonna lie. Also, I would really like to see you go over Snow on Mt. Silver, it's a really good creepypasta.
Fun fact: RE:Lost silver has a easter egg where you can access other pokepasta's, including snow on Mt. Silver!
"really good" lmao
Ehhh I mean it's fine, but it's a little too seizure inducing to be an outright recommendation.
Toadbup you really remind me of SpaceHamster, and you really scratch the itch for that kind of content ever since he left.
Damn, I didn't even know that SpaceHamster left UA-cam.
Watched him quite a lot back then.
epic
@@SwaggyG_2102 Neither did I. Sad to see him go.
At least PBG is still kicking.
11:46 Ghetsis's Hydreigon also has a maxed out Frustration.
Can't imagine why.
Geeeez I wonder why

And iirc there's an extended Lavender Town Anime episode in a series involving Red.
20:47 Actually the shopkeepers have already succumbed to the deterioration of the universe. It's called working retail
Ah yes the Pokemon Adventures manga, where everyone tries to kill each other all the times using pokemons -or swords- in a kid-friendly franchise.
Still my guilt pleasure tho, Gold my belevoled hero 🙏
And in the Black and White mangas, Team Plasma crucify the Gym leaders
@@DakkaNah2619 And then in XY Team Flare either kidnap and throw then in prison or literally send some pokemon to kill the main characters
When I was little, I found Lavender Town's music calming. Now it gives me a mix of nostalgia and unsettled sad feelings
I thought and still think it sounds like the atmosphere of people devastated in their mourning, to the point where they might be a little dangerous now, to themselves and others. Breaking inside, and possibly ready to (Pokémon) snap on the outside. Or just become really freaky ghosts when they die.
Don't think you can hide your title pun from me! Also, seeing Lost Silver mentioned here was a hell of a nostalgia trip!
i dont think that was intentional
I was hoping someone would get that lmao
Haha evolution
Evuwution :3
dwadfdsadfh
You’re not a real pokemon fan unless you once believed that the lavender town music would kill you, common childhood event
Dude I was actually CONVINCED it would kill me
I remember when I was like 10 or something I went to my PC and played the song to see if I'll get a headache or something and was sad nothing happened
"You can't make Shuckle scary"
*The dimensions are twisted
*Shuckle used Power Trick
*Shuckle hung on with its Focus Sash
As someone who also watched UA-camrs play creepypasta games on the internet at an age where I probably shouldn't have been... I approve of this video!
1:55 I think the thing with Burried Alive was like it would somehow replace the final trainer in the tower and it would use White Hand because of the person outside of the tower talking about a hand on your shoulder if you tell her ghosts aren’t real or something and then you have to lose to Burried Alive and when you do he’d say something about fresh meat and then he’d eat you or something and then somehow Burried Alive would replace your Gameboy’s boot screen so that trying to play any game would cause the game over screen to appear or something.

Crazy to imagine I wasnt the only one to believe all the Lavender Town creepypastas
That Buried Alive game over screen gave me chills as a child.
L1 + △ on the Cubone.
as an FNF player, I can confirm, it's one of the best creepypasta mods ever, tho very hard when you don't turn off some features!
My personal favorite was Strangled Red, yeah its edgy af, but I love how it goes into the possible lore of a champion before Red or Garry/Blue though now I jokingly call it "A Dramatic Version Of A Failed Nuzlocke"
Snow On Mt.Silver is a close second but the creepy Pikachu kinda kills it
Another one I remember kinda liking was Blues Tears but looking back its so damn edgy (yeah most creepypastas were stupidly edgy)
FNF did get me back into pokepastas and I loved the take on Strangld Red and other pokepastas such as Mt.Silver and of course Lost Silver
the brian griffin necklace was the true scary part of this entire video
5:32 I know this isn't the point of the video but good god it's such a jumpscare seeing Wii Deleted You in the wild away from it's rather small fandom.

Hypnos lullaby fnf is so special to me because of the huge nostalgia hit and the attention of detail to the songs and fights. Monochrome goes crazy hard and I definitely recommend you listen to it if you haven't
The scariest part of this video is Toadbup's computer background.
22:17 they should have made the game crash when you get the bad ending, that would be much more effective with the glitching theme
i was horrified of buried alive as a kid, but i always ignored white hand
I still don't know how little me wasn't afraid of what went on in the manga. Like how did I not freak out at the Abra being sliced in half, or the venom from Abra melting away at Pokémon??
I checked out that Mack sectorguy you mentioned in the first game and he looks like he has some real talent, thanks for giving him a shout. I love it when big channels highlight smaller youtubers like that.
Thank god the Brian pendant is back
14:13 I get the feeling you’re supposed to go down the first ending again, and red will do something other than use nightmare.
Wrong part
I would definitely love to see a part 2
Imagine playing escape from Lavender town on my computer that’s named TI 84 calculator
I think in the first ending for lost Silver red dies because while dying, Pikachu used destiny bond on him. 11:57
Those shop keepers be like: no time to go insane when you’re working customer service
Oh boy
Time to watch this banger essay video thingy >:)
I'm suprised Pokémon snakewood isn't here
Ah, Snakewood. I love that game

i love when he says it was you to the pikachu putting guilty on pikachu instead of hypno
“Lost Silver? What are you taking about, he’s right here!” *Proceeds to show a sprite of Gold*
19:04 so basically: pokemon legends ho-oh
Can I mention how weirdly uncomfortable hearing the Lavender Town music.
Like the town itself isn't really that creepy but the music that plays just creeps me out so badly
I just found this guy and now I can't stop watching
Would ya ever make a part two? Had hoped to see Pokemon Nightmare Invasion perhaps, though it seems to be a bit too forgotten. Shame
6:51 You can't hurt me Hypno! The man trees will protect me!
why does lavender town always get used as a scapegoat in pokepastas...

Me: I don't blame you! I'm right there with ya!

Honestly, if your grandkid goes missing in the pokemon world, its a pretty safe bet they’re dead as hell
hypnos lullaby is LITERALLY the pied piper: pokemon edition
0:11 Tell yourself that when you see a shiny Drifloon.
Also, it says "it is whispered", not "it is proven".
amazing video toadbup!
In regards to Pokémon Cursed, every gym leader has multiple teams for different challengers depending on badges and skill level. That is my theory on why the mom bested the Ghost.
Man, cant believe you didnt talk about the GOAT, Uhcakip; 0 / 10 stars
[ great content as always, Mr.Bup ]
Ah yes normal moves hitting ghosts before that one ability was added and without foresight or odor sleuth
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FNF MODS TO PLAY OUT OF PURE BOREDOM, THANK YOU TOADBUP YOU HAVE GAVE ME A SUGGESTION AND CURED MY BOREDOM
Rumors be like: drifloon steals children
Reality: drifloon takes children who have died and guides them to the afterlife so they can finally rest
you forgot to show the badges stats in lost silver .........
18:30 its propably because the gym leaders hold back acording to how many gym badges you own ....like this is pretty standard pokemon knowledge
I feel like PETAs version of Pokemon should have been qualified for this
always love the new toadbup video bro is the best youtube ever

You mentioned it was November and that’s when Pokémon stuff happens I thought of vaporeon and lopunny
23:33 the game is still around but its now called lost forever
Hypnos Lullaby is cannon on the advance timeline because the sevii island there is a kid kidnapped by a hypno
I used to think lavender town syndrome was real, since I got exposed to the pokemon creepypastas when I was very young.

The Pokémon bible looks great 😂
Thought you’d include Snow On Mount Silver, but these are still the best CPs
Dang I remember when I watched the tetrabit gaming lost silver video, that scared the shit out of me😂

Hypno may be my favorite Pokémon but I can agree on that one hypno is pretty messed up

"I could easily beat any Pokemon in a fist fight."
Arceus: *laughs in God*
The voice in Hypno's lullaby sounds so much like a Khajiit that I used to mentally replace 'Hypno' with 'J'zargo'
I think the Lavender Town music made all this possible. It is the scariest song I know.

i read the manga after i watched the anime and i swear the story writers for the manga are just built different ☠
I have the same gengar plush you have in the background, it’s my only pokemon plush
Why would normal type moves hit gengar post foresight? does it turn them psychic?
Good video but SO YOU WANNA BE A MASTER OF POKÉMON SO YOU HAVE THE SKILLS TO BE NUMBER ONE
if a creepypasta doesn't have a FNF mod, it's not a creepypasta.
For the amount of views you get per vid, I think you deserve way more subs.

love your videos. keep up the good work!
you remind me of ant dude :D
