The Evolution of Pokemon Horror Games 

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.

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.

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

Lost silver is about the main character (Silver) being in purgatory, learning to accept his death after a long time denying it.

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

11:46 Ghetsis's Hydreigon also has a maxed out Frustration. Can't imagine why.

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.

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 🙏

Toadbup you really remind me of SpaceHamster, and you really scratch the itch for that kind of content ever since he left.

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.

20:47 Actually the shopkeepers have already succumbed to the deterioration of the universe. It's called working retail

Hypno's Lullaby does actually have a secret ending if you can run away from the initial Hypno fight (It's literally just the creator's FireRed save) Additionally, the Lost Silver remake was a collab with the original copypasta writer and the guy who made the game, with the added parts being planned to be in the original creepypasta but cut due to length limit. They went off the radar before the story could be fully explained though.

When I was little, I found Lavender Town's music calming. Now it gives me a mix of nostalgia and unsettled sad feelings

You’re not a real pokemon fan unless you once believed that the lavender town music would kill you, common childhood event

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.

"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 RU-vidrs play creepypasta games on the internet at an age where I probably shouldn't have been... I approve of this video!

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

Crazy to imagine I wasnt the only one to believe all the Lavender Town creepypastas

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

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.

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!

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.

That Buried Alive game over screen gave me chills as a child. L1 + △ on the Cubone.

the brian griffin necklace was the true scary part of this entire video

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

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

The scariest part of this video is Toadbup's computer background.

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 was horrified of buried alive as a kid, but i always ignored white hand

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.

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 >:)

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! ❤

I would definitely love to see a part 2

I'm suprised Pokémon snakewood isn't here

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 love when he says it was you to the pikachu putting guilty on pikachu instead of hypno

19:04 so basically: pokemon legends ho-oh

Game: Run! ToadBup: Don't have to tell me twice! I'm outta here! Me: I don't blame you! I'm right there with ya!

“Lost Silver? What are you taking about, he’s right here!” *Proceeds to show a sprite of Gold*

Honestly, if your grandkid goes missing in the pokemon world, its a pretty safe bet they’re dead as hell

Man, cant believe you didnt talk about the GOAT, Uhcakip; 0 / 10 stars [ great content as always, Mr.Bup ]

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.

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

hypnos lullaby is LITERALLY the pied piper: pokemon edition

why does lavender town always get used as a scapegoat in pokepastas...

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

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

6:51 You can't hurt me Hypno! The man trees will protect me!

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.

Rumors be like: drifloon steals children Reality: drifloon takes children who have died and guides them to the afterlife so they can finally rest

I just found this guy and now I can't stop watching

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.

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

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.

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

Ah yes normal moves hitting ghosts before that one ability was added and without foresight or odor sleuth

0:11 Tell yourself that when you see a shiny Drifloon. Also, it says "it is whispered", not "it is proven".

Hypnos Lullaby is cannon on the advance timeline because the sevii island there is a kid kidnapped by a hypno

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 feel like PETAs version of Pokemon should have been qualified for this

23:33 the game is still around but its now called lost forever

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

You mentioned it was November and that’s when Pokémon stuff happens I thought of vaporeon and lopunny

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

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.

amazing video toadbup!

if a creepypasta doesn't have a FNF mod, it's not a creepypasta.

Thought you’d include Snow On Mount Silver, but these are still the best CPs

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

"I could easily beat any Pokemon in a fist fight." Arceus: *laughs in God*

0:25 The Pokémon bible looks great 😂

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.

I think the Lavender Town music made all this possible. It is the scariest song I know.

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

The voice in Hypno's lullaby sounds so much like a Khajiit that I used to mentally replace 'Hypno' with 'J'zargo'

"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.

B L O C K T H I S! Punch Out Corruption reference is hilarious

i sleeped well after escaping from lavender town. thanks!

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

I can agree with this guy. I don't know how the Pokemon Adventures manga was rated A for all ages.

Fun fact:when kids music section. Hypnos lullaby appears, WTF!

Dang I remember when I watched the tetrabit gaming lost silver video, that scared the shit out of me😂

For the amount of views you get per vid, I think you deserve way more subs.

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.

We desire more

always love the new toadbup video bro is the best youtube ever

Just in time to have watching material for lunch.

Did you forget that you can run away from hypno? If you do, you can save the girl, and continue the game as normal (get ready for koga)

I'm surprised you didn't talk about snakewood 😂😂

Yippee I love creepy pasta games

Ironically the FNF mod of Hypno's Lullaby isn't even worth it either, it's a fantastic mod dragged down by feature creep because FNF modders have zero clue what a rhythm game is.

*Sees desktop icons for RotMG and Toontown Rewritten* I think that's the scariest thing I've seen in this video!

9:04 (shows Gold/Ethan instead of the guy literally named Silver) 0/10 video
