    Moving this to Advance Generation Gaming since this is mostly about Lavender Town in the remakes.

    Anyways I actually didn't find it creepy. Lavender Town is my favorite town in the Kanto region because I love the music and location.

  • I did feel a little freaked out from Lavender Town in R/B/Y because of the music xD

    In the remakes I wasn't though. The graphic improvement in the remakes didn't make Lavender Town look as creepy haha.

    It might have a lot to do with back then we were all 6 or 7 and when we played the remakes it just wasn't as scary.

    Do you believe in GHOSTs?

    [NO]

    Haha. I didn't think so.
    That white hand on your shoulder, it isn't real.

    ...then again...

  • I played Leafgreen before I really got into any of the 1st generation games. I was more creeped out by the Pokemon Tower because they give you an eye catcher before you enter the building. Yes Lavender Town gave me the willies when I was 11.

  • Lavender Town never creeped me out, not even in the first gen. But having played it before pretty much removed all the shock value in FR/LG.

    I actually like the purple shade of the town. Call me crazy, but I actually found it soothing in a way xD

  • When I visited it iN FR/LG, I guess Id matured a bit (shocking, I know :P) and it didn't really bother me. But in the originals, with the ghost, purple shade, eery 8-bit music... yeah, it was quite creepy. :O

  • I wasn't all that scared of Lavender Town when I went into it. To me, it's the Kanto counterpart of Mt. Pyre because it's where Pokemon go to die (and no, they actually don't die in-game; that's for flavor text).

    Lavendar town is definitely the best location in Kanto with the best music as well. I didn't find it creepy at all, I really liked it and felt like it was one of the more immersive locations in the game in terms of playability and atmosphere.

    Also Cubone. :(

    Wide screen on a game cube when I was 7 with Blue, yeah it scared me, and I don't have any recollection, of LGFR at all...even though I beat both of them.

  • I love Lavender Town. When I played LeafGreen I didn't find it creepy at all. Moreover, I was thinking that the music was quite relaxing. (I was 15 at that time)
    Now I'm playing Yellow . Not so creepy, but it feels less relaxing than LG.
    This town never scared me, until I read all the horror stories about it >.> Now I'm freaked out to even open my Yellow rom because I saved it in Lavender Town. Eh, as time goes by I will regain my courage.
    So, the stories make it creepy. The town itself is okay.

  • It was creepy back in RBY, but... later I just liked it.
    There's still something creeping me out about Lavender though... this:

    I just hope this is not against the rules

  • It didn't scare me in either the originals or the remakes... I just couldn't bring myself to be scared of little pixels on a Game Boy / Advance screen.

    I've gotten scared by other games, but I can never be scared of anything on a Game Boy. I guess it's because most of the games for them are old, so their graphics/sound is outdated. Maybe if I played R/B/Y back when they were new, I would of been scared... But, yeah... No.

    And the original Lavender Town soundtrack just sounds like typical blips and bloops to me...
