So, we’ve done multiple parts to our Pokemon Creepypastas list, but we have yet to conquer
Urban legends, and a franchise with such a huge following and a hefty catalogue is sure
to spark some creepy rumours and legends.
And that it did.
Hey guys welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m your host Lucy McPhee, if you’re a fan of
Pokemon be sure to give this video a big thumbs up and let me know down below what your favourite
Pokemon is.
I’ll be shouting out some of your comments in the next video!
Alright, let’s jump into our list of the Top 10 Scary Pokemon Urban Legends.
10 Pokemon Black To start, let’s begin with a classic, the
legend of the Black Cartridge.
Hacked versions of classic games is not a new thing, it’s actually quite popular in
the Pokemon world, from Pokemon: ShinyGold, to Pokemon LiquidCrystal.
However, one of the most notorious hacked games was called Pokemon Black, where players
would be taken on a much darker and depressing adventure, even allowing players to choose
a ghost as their starter.
Also, many players have even stated the cartridge is cursed, but if you want to know more about
that you should go check out our Pokemon Creepypastas list.
9 Lavender Town Suicides This old chestnut again.
Because of course, it’s a classic.
Arguably the most famous legend on our list, Lavender Town Suicides spawned after claims
the eerie melody that plays in the town sparked suicides in young players in Japan.
Supposedly the track emitted a frequency that only a certain age group could hear, making
them severely ill.
Now, the legend was never confirmed to be true, but programmers did change the music
to a lower frequency to be on the safe side.
Is that the confirmation we need?
8 The Pokegods This is less scary and just kinda interesting.
Essentially, Pokegod were rumoured to be Pokemon that weren’t listed in the Pokedex.
There numbers were supposedly so high that they were considered gods, and essentially
unbeatable.
Many rumours floated around about ways to make these gods appear, such as certain cheats,
hacked games, or even beating the elite four a set number of times.
However, following these legends, the real Poke-god appeared in the fourth generation.
Did these legends spark it’s creation, or did fans just preempt it?
Who knows.
7 Never Meant To Be Ok, so this legend is basically a glitch in
the early Pokemon games.
The rumour goes that in a certain part of Cinnabar Island, right after your catching
tutorial in Viridian City, you’ll find a lump of messy pixels at level 100.
Creepy.
However, catching this Pokemon gives you endless perks supposedly.
Such as, infinite items, to multiplying your sixth item, to bad glitches such as corrupting
your save file.
The rumour is that these messy pixels were from a Pokemon that was never meant to be.
That’s kinda sad.
6 Insta-Kill So this Urban Legend takes us back to the
original Pokemon games, the rumour was that a con man on Route 4 would sell you a Magikarp
that was believed to deal insta-kill on opponents with its splash attack.
Now this got fans real excited, because as we know, Magikarp has a 0.001% chance of dealing
a death blow.
However, it seems the insta-kill legend was just a legend after all, perhaps it was spawned
out of pure hope, or we’re all just that gullible.
5 Pikachu’s Fate So, in order to be the best you have to become
League Champion, you do this by completing the Pokedex and getting at least one of your
Pokemon to Max Level.
It’s an intense grind, and gruelling work to get there, but once you do it, great, hurrah,
you’re the best.
However, there’s a dark rumour out there that once you Max-level Pikachu and take him
to the Pokecenter for healing, you lose it for good.
Why?
Well perhaps because there’s no growing left to do, so let’s cut free your little
yellow friend and start from scratch.
Who knows!
4 Your Rival This one is dark, so bare with me.
In Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow, your Rival, Blue, has a raticate on their team.
Its used in every battle and very presents throughout a lot of the games, that is until
you battle Blue on the SS Anne.
Following the encounter we never encounter the Raticate again.
So what does this mean?
Well, a theory goes that during the battle on SS Anne, the player injured Blue’s Raticate
so badly, that it died, and the reason we see Blue in Lavender Town at the Pokemon Towers
following the battle is because he’s mourning the loss of his Pokemon.
Sad.
3 Cubone’s Origin Story Cubone is a little cutie and a fan favourite,
but his origin story may tell a slightly darker and more depressing tale than folks would
expect.
When we move in to Pokemon Yellow, things get slightly odd.
Cubone’s pokedex states that it “wars the skull of its deceased mother.
Its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody”.
Dark.
As you progress you can begin to discover more history such as, “It lost its mother
after its birth.
If it is sad and lonely, the skull it wars shakes.
The stains on the skull the Pokemon wears are made by the tears it sheds.”
Heartbreaking.
Kinda makes sense now why it’s Category is “Lonely”.
2 Post-War This is another legend that has been in circulation
for a while now, and it suggests that the first generation Pokemon game takes place
post-war.
I mean, the evidence is all there!
But let’s backtrack for a second.
Another theory suggests that there was once a Great War in the Pokemon world, and that
the reason for there being little to no adults in the game is because they all died in battle
along with their Pokemon.
So the evidence: You and your rival have no parents.
There are hospitals literally EVERYWHERE, plus all the other characters are children
or gym leaders.
A little suspicious if you ask me.
1 Moving The Truck So those urban legend has been circulating
for a VERY long time, and out of all the ones on our list, I think it’s safe to say this
is the one we wanted to be true.
In the S.S Anne Dock there’s an ordinary pick up truck parked, which is odd considering
the Pokemon world has little to no motor vehicles to speak of, so why then is it there?
Well, many believe it’s because its hiding something, the mythical Mew to be exact.
However, after 20 years, no one has been able to move the track, so alas, perhaps it is
just an ordinary car waiting for a boat.
Well there we have it!
Those were some creepy urban legends?
Do you believe any of this, or do you think it’s all nonsense?
Let us know all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below, and before we

Also, ad revenue.
Dab Man said “I subscribed and did everything”.
Good, it means the brainwashing is working.
Herribeater said “This reminds me of MostAmazingTop10”.
Never heard of them.
