I like that BURIEDALIVE hinges on the fact that you have to believe that Red and Blue just ended at Lavender Town until some devs thought, “Oh, this might be too scary. Let’s design the rest of the game instead.”

I love how the "white hand" in question was just the girl messing with you by implying a ghost is right behind you, but then somehow became it's own Fakemon

I'm the artist behind the buried alive and white hand sprites ^^/ I've been wanting to find the person who originally wrote the pasta because I was OBSESSED with creepypasta in high school when I made the sprites, but with no luck and I doubt I'll ever get to meet them, but would love to. Lost silver was probably my favorite back in the day, I was so obsessed I could tell the whole story to my friends, start to end, perfectly. 😂

I remember these being super popular back in the day, looking back they were rather silly

If you like creepy black, I reccomend the picture of dorian gray, which is presumably where the idea for the pasta came from. it's about a guy named dorian gray who manages to stop himself from aging and feeling shame/pain/any negative emotion really, and in return, a painting of him feels all that instead and he eventually goes insane because of it.

It makes me so happy how people have actually recreated Lost Silver, I always loved that one as a kid just for how easily I could imagine it looking in-game

I think what makes Lost Silver work so much is that it actually has themes. It tackles being forgotten after death instead of just being blood and gore (Gold's sprite slowly disappearing).

The lost silver Unown thing is actually genius

Never heard of creepy black before and i love it, it's actually surprisingly well written and tells a story that's different from the usual "look at this gory stuff ooooh ur dead now" and actually has a narrative that feels like something that would happen if some people had an ability like that

I love all of these stories. They're emblematic of a bygone age, and to this day I still hope for an otherwise normal RBY hack that adds creepy stuff like this to Lavender Town

I remember hearing about this one Pokemon creepypasta related to Fuchsia City and stuff, and it was causing the author these serious memory problems. The big twist was that the MC beat his girlfriend to death while just not remembering any of it / sleepwalking. It was _really_ funny

I find it hard to believe people read these and think "this needs a Friday Night Funken mod thats higher quality than the currency official stuff."

Ngl, I kinda forgot about these for the most part until the Hypno’s Lullaby FNF mod that was getting stuff done for it a couple years ago. It did such a good job referencing so many of these creepypastas with Monochrome being a standout example of referencing so much from the Lost Silver story. The unown writing, namely “I’m Dead”, “Hurry”, and “No More”, Gold’s body going from limbless to just a head like in the creepypasta, and even having the half-fleshed Celebi using perish song throughout to shrink the healthbar

Everyone: “Lavender Town is so creepy!” Me, dragging myself out of Rock Tunnel underleveled and without Flash: “Praise the Lord, a Pokémon Center!”

I really like Pokemon Lost Silver and Creepy Black because of the implication of them just being hacked carts telling a story. Adds the feeling of realism to the stories and makes it feel like they could actually happen for real. And with romhacks they already did. The real world has a lot of horrifying elements already and there's no need to invoke the supernatural in my opinion.

I always have a hard time reading through the "white hand" sprite, what the hell is it supposed to be? I assume it's supposed to be a hand? Like it's servered and rotting? But the flesh looks too much like thorned cloth and the finger bones are too thin to be actual fingers, looking more likes ribs The Buried Alive sprite at the very least does look like it could have been from a real trainer from the game

I feel like most people dont bring up Buried Alive when talking in general about Pokemon until like a year or two ago, and was my og spooked me creepypasta. As someone who really likes game design stuff, the idea that its a scrapped design after remember that they were making a kids game or a spooky for fun Halloween idea that they didn't use ect really intergues and facinates me to this day

Man I remember reading that lost silver creepy pasta back in the day. Just a prime example of how incredibly silly and childish some of these pastas could be. I say that with love and nostalgia of course. Now that Pokemon Black story? That's class right there.

One creepypasta (well, i think it would be considered today as an analog/digital horror video) that i really like is "Pokémon 731", Is really short it's just the player searching something in one of the routes of the og games, but at the end, they didn't encounter pikipek on gen 1, they encountered a pokemon with the sprite of various images related to the unit 731. it's kinda goofy but i really like it

I remember hearing about few more Pokémon creepypastas. The dollmaker is a fairly short tale (or i just don't really remember most of it) where Team Rocket .kills. an old man who was known for well... being a dollmaker, of course. And then a weird looking Jigglypuff doll chases you and kills you. Pretty simple, reminds me of how Banette is essentially exactly that. Second one is... i don't know it's name but it goes like this. A dude plays a game Gold or Silver. The difference in gameplay is noticable once they have to choose a starter, as Prof. Elm refuses to show them Chikorita for some reason. The player picks Totodile instead. Along the way, weird things happen and you learn that Jasmine's Ampharos is sick. Pretty normal, right? Well, apparently NPCs note sensing a strange smell, as if something was rotting... i really forgot most of the stuff but the climax was cool. After their long journey the player comes back to the professor's lab and finds their Feraligator dead, lying on the table. Then they're confronted by i think the player character's mother (or was it Prof. Elm?) who explained what's going on. Turns out, the Pokémon virus that infected Jasmine's Ampharos was not just a simple flu and instead turns people crazy/into zombies. The player character was infected from the start and they were the one who mauled their own Pokémon. The end. A bit confusing explaination but i did my best... I genuinely liked the premise, or general idea for it at least, using the Pokerus as an element of a spooky story. I think i just like when these creepypastas just work in universe and can be turned into legit stories.

These ironically bring back good memories.

I forget, but was there a line in Creepy Black about it playing normally if you never used Ghost?

Lost Silver first got me into the world of pokemon creepypasta and i loved it as a teen. I still go to the ruins of alph and play the radio to remember the story. My favorite story was one about the Old Chateau in Eterna forest and the family living there being poisoned.

These stories get me feeling really nostalgic. I loved reading Pokémon creepy pastas as a kid. It wasn’t mentioned in this videos but Blametruths creepy Pokémon blue story is probably one of my favourite arg/creepy story series ever. I was watching those videos as they were coming out when I was 11 and they legitimately scared me .

Team galactic’s lab theme is truly underrated

The guy who played Lost Silver: "That's it? I died? What a rip off" *Throws game*

Pokemon fans were very edgy back then lol

“It was more believable because there was no evidence to disprove it.” Funny how human psychology works that way.

Don't let all these silly ghost stories distract you from the fact that Lavender Town is legitimately creepy and incredibly sad.

Also i tought in the story of buried alive it would permanently replace the game boy intro screen with the image of buried alive game over screen. 666th like btw

Super interesting vid!! Thank you for putting this together, great watch for the spoooooky month!! Can't wait to see more from ya!

Idk why people felt the need to make creepypastas of red/blue/green/yellow specifically. The glitches in those games are creepy as shit, they used to freak me out and still do kinda. Female symbol’s cries still creep me out.

11:40 Snowgrave Route vibes.

I remember a video from back in the day where someone bought a copy of Pokémon green put it in their game boy and concluded lavender town frequency was most likely false. I think the hoax was believable since there’s a lot of overlap with the seizure incident which did happen.

I legit believed that the first two stories were true and was actually so scared I had to sleep with my sister at the time. I was like 12 lmaooooo

I'm pretty sure these would just seem kinda stupid if i read them myself, but you just tell them so well.

This was a really well done and enjoyable video 😁

I'm a little surprised this video didn't cover Hypno's Lullaby.

Hell yeah up and coming homie. You got this

Back in the 90s, there was a creepy pasta that if you talked to a certain NPC 100 times, on the 100th time he'd tell you your mom died and to hurry home. If you went home, the person who killed your mom would still be in the house and would kill you too. After that you'd become a ghost type pokemon and could float around, fighting trainers and other pokemon as yourself. You could also get caught and then you'd play the game as if you were that trainer's pokemon. There would be long stretches of nothing but black screen until the trainer let you out of the Pokeball to battle. It was pretty interesting, anyone else remember that one?

These are so dumb omg I can't believe it looking back. I swear I was obsessed with these stories but also scared to death by some of them (like Lost Silver). tbf to younger me, I looked back multiple times while watching this video. Old habit, can't watch "horror" stuff without constantly turning around lol

Excellent vidéo ! Full of nostalgia

Funnily enough, there is a Creepypasta related to the "Bill's Secret Garden" rumor.

good job bro

Lol the lavender town syndrome thing goes back to way before 2010. I heard about it when I first played Pokemon Red as a kid at age 6 or 7 in 2000

The original Lavendar town theme is super creepy though, if you look that up!

Creepy Black is beyond better than Lost Silver. Creepy Black that had the capacity to be "played" on your DS via an R4 card. At the end, after ghost uses "curse" the game would then say, "Ghost curses you (your ds name)."

kinda sad you didn't mention Pokemon Strangled Red or The Unknown King

Dgl, i always liked lost silver quite a lot, ik its edgy af but i always find very interesting. If it not had that dumb pretext of "HaUtEd CaRtRaGe uuuuuhh" and was just an stand alone fangame, i think the way people view it today would be diferente, not THAT diferent, but still.

What's the music at 13:46 from again? I feel like it's diamond/pearl/plat? Driving me mad

What a nice thing to watch before bed

Babe wake up new Weaboolin video dropped 🔥🔥

the fact the white hands dont have a pokemon type is the only reason i know this creepypasta was never real

once i played a hack where the programmers put a buried alive fight in the lavender town tower, it wasn't that difficult but still cool to see that

Hell yes

I kinda hated the fact that most of the gaming creepypastas back then were based on 90s kids nostalgia whilst leaving out 2000s kids nostalgia most of the time. I even remember some old pokepastas shitting on the “newer gens” that I loved. So glad the 90s kids are gone now.

Good shit

I was buzzing when the official pokemon black came out because I pretended I was really playing the creepypasta version

yet another weaboolin banger

What happened with the Jigglypuff creepypasta? I remember one, but can't find it again.

There's is some truth behind lavender town syndrome, as it did cause some minor troubles with smaller kids listening with headphones, the story just exaggerates it greatly.

I don't know why but pokemon creepypastas will always scare me

Though is the cliché of "hounted cartrage" really THAT bad? I mean its a cliché but they aren't all bad

the lavender town stuff is hilarious cuz it those mind altering sounds had to come from a crappy gameboy speaker

Pokemon snakewood, would be another one. It's a gen 3 creepypasta.

Genuinely surprised you didn’t mention BRVR. I feel like that’s the best one by far

I remembered playing Gen 5/6? at 3am in the dark and I was in this forest doing quest with a ghost female character... Creepy

Yeah it was not hard to find out about stuff on the internet in 2010 smh.

I thought the lavender town syndrome was real for so long

why blud got the "luh calm fit" pfp

Wonder what would happen if you played through creepy black without killing any trainers

bro i thought lavender town syndrome was real, looking back at it ofc its not LOL

Funnily enough poekmon black ruined pokemon black for me… i meant the actual game pokemon black ruined the concept of the creepypasta. It just seems hilarious that trying to tell someone about a creepypasta named pokemon black makes them think about the actual game.

You forgot strangled red

I still think its real just a rare gameplay. I mean theres real gameplay of it . Could someone duplicate maybe but i choose to think they cant and that gameplay is real. Its was just rare on very few games.

Ostro.

It's like whoever started these creepypastas was trying extremely hard to be an even edgier edgelord. 😂

The likes of B E N D R O W N E D 😱 and Lost Silver 🙀 are just comedies to me. Always have been.

STOP DEBUNKING THESE OBVIOUS HOAXES. You’re ruining my childhood 😭

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Believable enough"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ...i never get the point of this crapy trend.
