Who Was the Lumiose City Ghost Girl? 

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. It's always just felt like some inside joke with the developers and not like some mystery they were trying to set up for pokemon z. There are far more mysterious stuff in pkmn games that people don't even question.

oh boy pokemon Z-A is about to explain this mini event

She's waiting to possess the hex maniac. You're not the one because you're too different from who she was in life, but she can sense there's a like spirit in the building, and is waiting for the girl from the lower level to come up the elevator.

That would be funny as hell, a ghost looking for a ghost.....in their own house that turns out to be just them. They're frustrated as they are unable to find the "ghost" which is just them running around their house

I think the joke kinda continues in Pokémon Masters EX: when you bond with Hex Maniac Helena/Sayoko, you talk with her about "recent urban legends" but then the real Helena shows up. Who were you talking to...? You turn around and nobody is there. It must have been Ghost Girl Hitomi(since she's want properly localized).

Jumpscares are not fun when you’re watching in the middle of the night…

Japanese depends a lot on context regarding if you're talking in first, second or third person, and that's something that Google Translate messes up *a lot* 😅 4:12 In this case, going by the context of Hitomi's dialogue, she's talking about the ghost girl in third person. In the part that she talks about the building, basically she first says that in that building, you'll encounter "it" referring to the ghost girl. Then in the spiky pink speech bubble she says you'll encounter "it" when you reach the second floor. And in the purple bubble below it, she says you can only encounter her once. Finally, in the big text under that, she says "I wonder what that girl could be?" So basically, she doesn't know either 😅

Hopefully Pokémon legend A-Z will cover the ghost girl

The ghost girl, was actually a Gengar

4:32 So I doble checked with my Japanese friend, and they confirmed my suspicions. Hitomi says something along the lines of: That was the only time I met... Japanese is extremally context based, so it indicates that the Ghost Girl is the one she met. 5:26 You are not... This is as close as you'll get to a translation. Pretty much the same meaning as you are not the one. I know the video is old and this might not be seen, but that's the translation. I always liked this little mystery in x and y. I wish there was more like this in the other games.

There´s actually an explanation for the Lumiose city ghost girl. Basically, it was all Hoopa´s fault. There were two girls. Many decades ago one of them got trapped on an elevator because of Hoopa and died while waiting for her friend (that was trying to find Hoopa again or someone that could get her out of there). The friend tried to get help for her and told her to keep listening the elevator to know when the help will come but her friend couldn´t find any help because she got teleported to the Hoenn region. The message in the train station in gen 6 and an npc in the ORAS remakes that ask you if you also ended up in Hoenn as a result of a mysterious power that teleported you there just like her prove this connection to Hoopa. I I remember correctly, the npc from ORAS can be found either on Mt Pyre or Mt. Chimney, one of those places. Hoopa was very likely supposed to be an in-game event Mythical Pokémon in X/Y but like Volcanion and Diancie got cut. Volcanion was tied to the power plant and Diancie probably to the Reflection Cave (since that's where Carbink is found). The train station and/or the hotel were most likely the places where Hoopa´s event would´ve taken place. The pokedex entries from the X and Y games may also have a connection to this story: "This troublemaker sends anything and everything to faraway places using its loop, which can warp space". "It gathers things it likes and passes them through its loop to teleport them to a secret place".

5:34 HOLY SHIT my soul left my body for a second. I was watching this in the dark bruh. Also, good video

I first played Y in 2018 and I had no idea about that. Suddenly one day, about the first time you go back to Lumiose city from the second entrance, I randomly entered that building for the first time. It was freaking 2AM. I was not prepared for that at all. XD It's really weird that such a thing just exists and there's no major explanation to it after so long. Back then I was obsessed with this mystery and spent weeks trying to work out what it meant, and heard about similar events in Gen 4 and 5 games that I never found before. I know they'll probably never address those again, but it's such a wasted opportunity to not do so. I... I just need to know more. CAN WE PLS HAVE A POKEMON LEGENDS GHOST GIRL GAME FREAK FFS I'M NOT ASKING FOR MUCH HERE

Imagine a kid playing pokemon for the first time and coming across her?

I've always thought that the hex maniac who talks about the elevator was astrally projecting over there or something.

5:33 I wasn't looking at my phone and legit thought it was an amber alert

Great video but I'm watching this video at 4AM and that ending just scared me so bad!!😭

I think the best thing to do would simply to find someone who can translate clearly what Hitomi says. I'm sure there are people who can. She mostly does Splatoon stuff, but maybe you could ask rassicas for help.

THE JUMPSCARE IHY I LITERALLY CRIED OMG

I think that the hex maniac from Oras is the same one from x and y. Oras takes place long before x and y since it takes place at the same time as gen 5 and we know gen 5 takes place long after gen 4, which already takes place 3 years after gen 1 and 3, it may be possible that she the same hex maniac and she died before she could find the person she was looking for.

Who wants to bet we find out Ghost Girl lore in Legends Z-A

She also appears in Mt. Pyre in ORAS... and while she doesn't vanish in those games, she does say the same line.

5:50 "She's not an elavator...", I bursted out laughing

I remember going into random buildings trying to find something (can’t remember what) and going into the building and elevator. I didn’t know about the ghost girl and when she popped up I thought my game was broken or it was actually haunted (since my game had been preowned) But now that I know about Hitomi it would actually make sense for a ghost girl to be reporting on all the spooky things and everything. Considering Pokémon’s track record it makes some sense. (Also can people talk more about the girl who said there was once a myth a froakie that turned into a human?)

Even if there isn't some long and mysterious backstory behind the ghost girl, I think it'd be EPIC if nintendo did something like that in the future. I swear, the community would eat it up as long as it wasn't shit.

The truth revealed in Pokémon legends Z-A?!?!?!?

cmon man it’s 3:51am i can do with out that 5:34 shit

I have to say you have had a great taste of music options for this video 👌

3:06 i think this was a reference to a dog that was told by their owner to wait outside but sadly he passed away and the dog was waiting their for years and there even is a skiddo outside the building who just waits there

Hated that jumpscare.

2025 Legends Z-A ghost girl here we go!

Seems I was only able to HEAR the jumpscare. I figured since I was primarily recieving information, I let the video play while I got up for a bit to get a quick popsicle from the freezer. The sound occured before I could return. A weather warning? On my tablet's RU-vid app? A ten second backtap allowed the sound to happen again, as I let the video play while I looked a little off to the side. Being able to see the vid in my peripheral vision confirmed my suspicions. Yep. One of those uncanny faces. I'll make the choice to face it head-on at around 9 a.m., rather than 1 a.m. Good try, though. Genius placement.

I mean, is the fact that Hitomi is on Mudae bot REALLY that surprising? That bot can pull from the most obscure corners of every fandom for waifus and husbandos. (trust me, I've seen some REALLY obscure and weird ones pop up when using it before)

X/Y has such a great halloween theme in it i love the forest and the fall like towns

7:30 Ayyyy now that's what I'm talking about 😈 also Happy Halloween 👻

Jumpscare at 5:33 got me

That jumpscare tho

These cool things are missing from new Pokemon games, they've started to lack passion. Last Pokemon game I really enjoyed was Sun and Moon which had awesome aesthetics, that creepy ghost store and hilarious stuff like the backpacker who photobombs you in the volcano zone.

1:08 *I was Creeped the Fucked Out when this happen* … especially the part where she was moving without moving her legs 🥲 and just vanished after sayin *your not the one* …

Oh hey you're Pokemon iceberg guy. I love that video nice to see followups.

Pokemon is fun but when it gets creepy, it gets creepy. Like when I did the Spiritomb encounter in ORAS. I was so scared at the time that my dad had to help me encounter it. And then the ghost trial from Sun and Moon. Long story short, Spiritomb and Mimikyu are my favorite ghost types.

5:27 I am not fluent, but what she says is Anata wa chigau, chigau is used for different, but it could by translated for "wrong" (as in, the answer is different), or another. A word to word translation could be "You are another (from the one I am looking.)" So "It is not you" is a pretty close translation.

Hitomi is on Mudae and NOT Bulbapedia?!

banger video again rogue

If you truly do read all the comments or even if you don’t have a splendid day I really enjoyed the videos of yours I’ve seen

I really don't think the guy was joking when he said they didn't put it in there, sounds more like nervous laughter to me

OH MH GOD ITS THE ROGUE RENEGADE

i dont know how people have figured this out earlys theres jack-o-lantern pokemon and its signature move is TRICK OR TREAT

Az floette in 2025, like if I’m right

Man used isotope...

A more scary yet subtle event in Pokémon can be found in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald where in Petalburg you'll find a kid looking at his reflection. If talked to he says: "My face is reflected in the water. It's a shining grin full of hope... Or maybe it's a look of somber silence struggling with fear... What do you see in your face?"

Does your channel have a discord server at all? If so, I'd love to join! I've been slowly getting back into Pokemon and I'm looking for more servers to join in reflection of it. I've been binging a lot of your videos and you have to be one of my new favorite Pokemon creators!

This shit scared me as a kid. I didn’t even hear about it before it happened to me.

I remember someone saying if you have a certain pokemon in your party she says something different. But I forget which pokemon

Bro the jumpscare gamefreaked me out

Dear lord i was watching this darn video last night at around 3am but i had to stop because of that gosh dang jumpscare somewhere around the late five minute mark! Now I'm still hella paranoid! The one time i look over at my screen I'm met with prolonged eye contact with that crap Came looking for acknowledgement of it in the comments and I'm glad to see I'm not alone in being terrified ^^'

Could you do a video on the old chateau I like to see your explanation on why old chateau is haunted?

Here's a more accurate translation of the full article at the Pokémon Horror Spot. There's also a Q&A section in the article that the video doesn't mention at all: -- Building at Lumiose City -- (Kalos region) There is a building at the North Boulevard in Lumiose city. When you go to the 2nd floor, everything goes quiet all of a sudden and a mysterious girl appears... Hitomi: Rumors say that in a certain building, you can meet "that [apparition/ghost]"... Keheheh... You will find it when you get off the elevator at the 2nd floor!! Hitomi: [I've] only seen her once... -- Who in the world could that girl be? -- Hitomi: The old man in the scary house close to Laverre City is suspicious! The old man in the scary house tells you a scary story. In the middle of that story, [he mentions] a line similar to the one from the mysterious girl... One can only hear this story once. That old man... He has to know something! We asked Ms. Hex Maniac [Hitomi] for more details! [What kind of place is the Lumiose City building?] Q: Just who is the (ghost?) girl in the building of Lumiose City? Hitomi: Aaah! The office at the 2nd floor of that building, right? It's a hot topic among us hex maniacs, so I went there! I went there to check out the rumors, but I didn't get much information about the people [who work there]. The 2nd floor, where the apparitions occur, is not being used. Seems like there are a lot of secrets yet to unravel! Q: Who is the old man who tells scary stories in the scary house? Hitomi: You don't know!? That old man is reaaaaaaally famous in occult circles! When he told this scary story at the city council, the story became extremely popular, and now people from cities all around the region -including Lumiose City- come to hear about it. Maybe [they've] seen that ghost, too... (By they, it's not clear whether it's the old man or the visitors, more likely the latter) As for the similarities between the lines, in the Japanese texts the ghost girl says "あなたは　ちがう…" , (あなたは違う anata wa chigau...). Literally it would mean "you're different", but it can be contextualized as "you're not [the one]". Similarly, the man in the old man's story says "おまえ　じゃない！"　(お前じゃない！ omae janai!). This means "not you!", which can mean a lot of things depending on the context. The English translation adds more context to fit with the story and says: "I'm not talking to you!". The Japanese language is noticeable for being great at conveying meaning while omitting a lot of context, so it's not uncommon for people to make links like these based on "they say very similar things" despite having different meanings given the context.

At the End of The video I was like,Hey,I know this song,but I don’t remember where it is fro-Shinto Jumpscare,Instant remembering

in the silence of 2F there's actual audio that plays

As an oldie to the ip, my generation plays are all over the place. I havent picked up X/Y , B/W…so the thought of anyone ONE person having the unplayed data still encountering something different there is what i call my own little headcanon. That person would be holding onto a goldmine copy.

Didn’t she appear later in the game when you challenged some female gym leader where she appears in the background for a few frames? Is that in the game or is my brain messing with me?

I knew you will jumpscare us

i had one time in omega ruby where i walked out the contest hall in stateport city and i saw a character appear on my side that looked like the X&Y ghost girl, i tried to replecate it but i failed, i was too late to talk to her cus i ran out the hall, maybe it's a glitch or a bug, i would be very grateful if someone can explain what happened

For some reason, the first thing that came to my mind with “the one” was some sort of pokemon massiah. That would’ve been really funny

My team was sceptile with somehow an ability that was going to be exclusive to ironically Greninja battle bond and the rest of my team was Rayquaza staraptor Groudon gliscor Charizard and one that I also didn't realize existed necrozma tyranitar and decuidueye and Metagross

Plot twist, that ghost Hex without the animation is the black dragon... Zekrom pranking us... could be or might be like Mossing No

man, don’t give me jumpscare like that !!!!

5:34 bro i’m watching this at 3 am how could u

I actually believe Hitomi is the Ghost girl Uh..... I really like Hex Maniacs There is a Comic with Calem dating one, the girl who trades you a Haunter

Lumiose city ghost girl? What do you mean by that? Is there a ghost girl in Lumiose city? You didn't got me i fliped my phone, but you got me in the end of the video argh, typical Halloween! Oh ya hello, i'm your new subscriber from Indonesia.

Jesus Christ that jumpscare when he was asking for assistance in reading Japanese made me crao myself

I’m expecting the player character in the yet to come Pokemon Legends Z-A to be “the one”.

It can literally be a reference to this: 第三章８０　『怠惰の終焉』 ★ March 3, 2013 01 : 00 (1am) Re:Zero, Arc 3, Chapter 80, "The End of Sloth" ★ Arc 3 hasn't been translated but the entire thing has already been adapted into a light novel and the first season of the anime. The Pokemon X and Y game released October 12, 2013, about 6 months after arc 3 of the Re:Zero web novel finished. This could have been included by game developers as a reference to Satella (a very similar looking character) saying this, 『――あなたは、あの人じゃ、ない』 Translates to something like: 『――You are not that person.』 or 『――You are not the one.』 An epic moment in the series which was animated in season 1 of the anime. ;)

Also my team rapidly changed into a team of my dreams even for the future

Good analysis but screw you for the jumpscare

WTF was that scary face on the screen just now!?😢

5:30 BRO I WAS WATCHING THIS AT 3 AM NOW I CANT FUCKING SLEEP

The first time I saw her I had nightmares of her as a kid…… also pokemon x and y is the game where I got my first shiny pichu

Actually she said You are different ... you are not the one I am looking…

It my secret wish that maybe in scarlet and violet we get to solve this mystery

(just watching the vid) (happy Halloween thing happens) me: AGH F#CK YOU! yeah I threw my phone across my room.

Wait a minute wasn't there something like this in Pokemon black and white I vaguely remember seeing a girl talk to the player walk off and never be seen again

Hiya the translation of "you are different" is correct!

I have never forgotten that encounter. It’s insane we never get any info. My only guess is that it’ll be revealed in Gen 6 remakes. Maybe post game content like ORAS’s Delta Episode. But the more likely explanation is it’s GameFreak fucking with us.

Series is based on hypnotism

1:54 reminds me some rumors of gardens and trucks

There was an Evertale ad on this

It was probably reverse flash, looking for barry

They could just put out z as the x and y remake as a matter of fact lol

isotope music from hypnos lullaby v2💀💀

8:13 we’ve been shitno’ed

Ok here's a story I got that event playing on that game I had to battle that hex manic and it was weird like it sucked me partially in the game like just my vision and she had two future pokemon solgaleo and lunala the battle mechanics were like the anime

7:30 She's pretty cute tho

NEW ROGUR RENEGADE UPLOAD 🤯🤯🤯

Pokémon is tame? Haven't you ever read poxédex entries before? Some are really messed up.

I pissed myself and it's your fault.

The rule 34 thing was simply inevitabe with Hex Maniac : She's the perfect compromise between strong characterization (a weird Goth girl into Ghost stuff with dark long unkempt hair wearing dark long dress...) and a white sheet people can project whatever they want into (her age is unclear, her personality is vague, same for her sanity...) Add one mystery and one out-of place element (the milk-selling girl) to be sure players won't forget about her and you get a perfect waifu material. Game Freaks knew what they were doing here. Did it went too far ? Maybe, but at least she's not a pokémon.

"Who Was the Lumiose City Ghost Girl?" Idk, but she kinda hot tho. Crazy girls >

If x and y get a remake they may put in the cut content
