Happy Halloween season, my friends. It's time to get spooky yet again. I wanted to really take a look at arguably the creepiest part of any mainline Pokémon game: Lavender Town, specifically from the Red and Blue versions.

What’s sad about Mr. Fuji is that we eventually learn he was Dr. Fuji, Mewtwo’s creator. It feels as though he’s doing a sort of penance for the cruel genetic experiments he did on Mewtwo.

As a child I actually stumbled upon the Pokemon Adventures manga and was so scared by the rotting Psyduck's eyeball falling out that I just ran through Lavender Town as fast as I could whenever I played. I didn't want to go in the tower at all. I legitimately had nightmares about it. Sure it's... pretty tame all things considered, but overactive child imaginations are not to be trifled with.

I did everything else possible in the game I could explore, then returned, not realizing that the Silph Scope was why that ghost went away... and always fearing it would return.

Lavender Town is probably one of the most important parts of the original games in terms of cementing the franchise as a cultural phenomenon. The violent tonal shift and easy fodder for mystery and spooky rumor gave a lot of people something to remember even if the rest of the game didn't grab them, like a standout experimental episode in a popular TV show.

Unfortunately for us they took a note from the Casper The Friendly Ghost movie from that era as inspiration for the anime episode. The 3 ghosts were based on Casper's uncles in the movie and how they killed the main character's dad as a prank.

Before breeding mechanics existed and made Cubone's lore irrelevant, the fact that Ghosts were actually mysterious and dangerous instead of just run of the mill Pokemon, and with that extremely unsettling music that could only have been produced on the gameboy... it's just a perfect storm of atmosphere. One of the most well-executed locations in all of Kanto for sure.

How I’ve justified the Cubone skull thing in my head since I was a kid: Marowak is a species with a guaranteed/incredibly high rate of maternal death, so the rare Cubone without a dead mother will take the skull from scavenged prey. Like Vullaby, who would compete with it because they live in similar environments
