did haunting music in the original pokémon video games truly lead to the horrific deaths of hundreds of japanese children? or is at all just internet urban legend? a creepypasta? this is the story of lavender town syndrome.

Big fan
Yay for Chris!!!!
This is so dope. I love these case sessions. Got me feeling like real detective. Maybe it’s the whiteboard 😂 can’t wait to catch the next stream.
Thanks for editing these investigations and posting them to YT. Due to my work schedule, I’m usually not able to catch the twitch stream. So it’s nice to still be able to partake in it this way!
Partake is a word you don’t hear very often. It’s something my dad says on occasion, and you’re only the second person outside my circle I’ve ever heard to say it. It made me smile.
Of course!! It's my pleasure, I appreciate you taking the time to watch :) I know not everyone can make the streams, so I'm glad to still share what I've covered!
It's a lovely and underutilized word for sure, Leslie!
@@Aria.Inthavong I definitely agree! 😊
9:23 It could be a case of photosensitive epilepsy that might be affecting a lot of people. I could be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it was. That's why video games and things have epilepsy warnings now.
So glad they do, Victoria!
Just because of the tragic nature I do hope this is just a creepypasta but I worry some of it is based on truth...
I was super happy I got to be apart of this stream though and I'm happy my schedule finally allows me to make it to more 😄
It was GREAT having you on the stream for the first time, Vienna! Excited for you to be a part of many more! I do think it's just a creepypasta, but the creators definitely took inspiration from some dark stuff that did happen (i.e. the seizures). I'll see you on the next one!
I remember vaguely. There was an episode in pokemon series about lavender town. That episode made me so scared. There was a different type of vibe going on.. Very weird... But I really loved ghost pokemons
Hey, Ritika! Thanks for watching! And yes, I remember that! The Tower of Terror was the episode I think, and it's super creepy, especially for a children's show! I'm the same though, I also love Ghost Pokemon haha
BTW I am big fan of your these types of videos ❣
This was on the first season of evil. They had a RUclipsr set a challenge like 3 hours or something and there was a low frequency voice track under the music in a frequency only pre teens could hear so it didn't effect really young kids and not adults. The kids who heard couldn't stop humming the song and after an amount of time they would injure themselves, most injuring their ears. But again this wasn't a full frequency but a voice track at a certain tone only a certain age group hears. Fiction I know, but there are frequencies that exist in such a way where only certain people hear them. There's also mental health issues such as the people who can hear 'the hum' somehow these people are physically and mentally affected by being able to hear the electromagnetic pulse of everything and often end up resorting to self harm or suicide because not only does no one believe them but it never stops, day and night. They can't sleep, can't eat can't function and they just want it to stop.
Thanks so much for the thorough insight, DragonLady! I wasn't familiar with this challenge at all, that's really interesting! I don't know all the science behind how certain frequencies affect certain age groups, as well as their capacity to do damage to physical and mental health, but I believe I've heard that even the military has experimented in this field to look into ways of using frequencies as weapons (I think they're called sonic weapons?), so I think it's certainly possible! If this story were true, it's very chilling to think of how insidious the people that put it into the game would have to be.
@@Aria.Inthavong they are called Sonic weapons and while I think most may fall in the conspiracy theory pile. It's almost along the lines of 'if it exists there's porn of it' I feel like the same goes for this stuff. The military will use anything. Such as.... The brown note which I'm sure we've all heard of in some context. I think this might be a bit of an urban legend but supposedly the military experimented with a frequency now that is a really low base note that is supposed to basically cause anyone in front of that wave to have to release their.. Um... Bowels right there on the spot without control.
Plus the animal kingdom is full of that sort of thing. Dog whistles for example, they can hear them at a super high pitch, we can't. And most elephant noises are so low we can't hear them. And are taste buds grow and change with us as we get older so why wouldn't our brains process sound differently along the line too? Not to mention just the difference between men and women alone. Women are hard wired to wake to high pitched cries, the sound of their babies or children. While men can usually sleep through it unless it's louder waking them up or some other reasons. So there's a lot that can go into this theory. But In the show I referenced, it was a set up, they gave her the music which did have a voice on it. The point is they are battling for demons to corrupt children. Unfortunately, they find out that they also have power over a fertility clinic. The show is only available on Paramount plus now unless you can hack it (which I'm sure you could, especially if the technically inept like me could) season three will drop someone this summer likely wrapping up in October like the last 2 seasons. I watch a lot of weird stuff real, fake and based on real. But recently I got sucked into another RUclips channel that dives into this weird stuff. Some is silly, some flat out ridiculous and some is creepy. Some I already know before they start explaining. It's fascinating and I've always been curious. So I end up with some way out there stories/theories. Thanks so much for writing back Aria! I used to be in your discord but I switched my phone but also couldn't keep up in there. But I love your videos and usually try to comment whenever I can. You do so much work great work.
Yeah, there's literally a frequency that vibrates the fluid inside the eye, you can't feel it but it will make you see figures in your peripheral vision, that frequency is also the kind that makes you feel afraid so there's that.
What is the RUclipsrs name and Chanel
@@ladyravenvampire what are the 2 RUclipsrs name's and channels
when I was a child, I played pokemon silver on GBC. some nights I could hear the pokemon theme of cities playing when I was in my bed about to sleep. I removed the batteries from my gbc and remove the cartridge from the back too. But I would still hear the pokemon theme music near me when I laid down on my pillow. It haunted me at night to the point that I couldn't sleep and was franticly looking for the source of the sound.
the incidents stop suddenly and never happened again. idk what made it stop. even tho I never really stop play pokemon. it just all of a sudden stoped.
Oh WOW, it's great hearing people's personal experiences with this music/case. Thanks for sharing, Owen! I wonder if there's something about this type of music in the older games that just really stuck with kids.
Lavender Town had such good music. It really does make you feel unnerved. That's hard to do for this type of music.
Totally agree, Callan! There's something about its retro-simplicity that also really adds to the unsettling story. Thanks for watching!
Not sure if anyone else felt that too but the moment I heard that sound I kid you not I felt this very weird pain in my ribs and heart and this sense of dread and fear washed over me to a point that I had to skip that part altogether. It PHYSICALLY hurt to listen to it and as I imagine listening to that for hours probably...playing a game...I can get how that can drive someone insane. I am a sensitive person as an adult, children are naturally more so.
So fun to be on the stream for the first time can’t wait for the next one…still feeling joy from Aria pronouncing my name right 😌☮️
It was my first time joining the stream too 😄
Andreiaaa!! I'm glad I pronounced it right, I will continue to make sure to! Excited to see you on the next stream!
So glad you did, Vienna!
I felt joy for you lol I’ve only met less than a handful of people who pronounce my last name right.
That sweater is giving me major Howls Moving Castle vibes ✨️ Also I love this creepy pasta I heard and looked into it a few years ago.
I never realized I needed this video!!! Love ya Pop Pop!!! Thanks for being the best and coolest!!
Bless you, Jayme!! Thank YOU for being so lovely! Lots of love to you!
Thank you so much Aria for posting this! I’ve missed your horror gameplays 🥲
Thank YOU for watching, Maria!! Would love for you to watch more horror games with me! We play them over at www.twitch.tv/ariainthavong! There have been some spooky ones we've done lately!
Lavender town is one of my favorite creepypasta's! I spend many hours reading up on it back in the day haha
Such a classic creepypasta, Nikki! AN OG!!!!!
If you want more dark (or well intriguing backstory) pokemon facts look into the guy who wrote the first few seasons of the show and how he came to his end
Oh damn, gonna look into that, thanks IronicBedhead!
What is the guys name I am going to have to look in to it thank you for telling us
Loved this 💚 stoked for the next one!!!!
Thanks so much Kayla! 💙 Will be back at it with another one next Saturday!
@@Aria.Inthavong ill be looking forward to it!
Ash here! Some evidence from my essay: Symptoms caused by very low or very high frequencies include nausea, vertigo, blurred vision, unsteady movement, and difficulty reading, remembering, and thinking. Your body can feel the vibration of sound even if it’s not audible. These body vibrations cause irritability and fatigue and sometimes visions. There is also science proven fact of “fear frequencies” and “ghost frequencies”. In fact we use some of these techniques in the U.S. army. :) great video ♥️
Ahhh Ash! Was great seeing you on the stream and thank you for sharing this part of your essay. So interesting! I need to read up more on fear & ghost frequencies! Such an interesting (and dark) concept.
Yes but you need to have very good speakers to be able to hear them if they are inaudible for humans. Very few bare tv speakers cover ultrasound/infrasound range. I know that certain ranges of audible frequencies in the middle range supposedly do such disturbing.
Edit: typo
You need to have very good speakers in your tv to hear theses ultrasound/infrasound even more to hear them loud enough. Even with a good headset, thoses are cut in the amplifier. This is a creepy pasta for sure.
That's a great point, Martin. Thanks for sharing your insights here. I agree that it's a creepy pasta for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting again!
i felt bad for laughing as hard as i did at the way you just freeze-framed yourself at the end
My body is suddenly cold when i heard this. Is that lavender town symdrome. Im NOT joking
When I was a kid we were so scared of this music that we played all of lavender town with the sound off
SAME! I didn't know about this story but I remember not liking the music and being creeped out haha.
When I was in Primary school here in Trinidad, Pokemon was cool and adults were okay with it, but when I was 11 or 12 an incident happened and all the adults kept saying that it's demonic and kids shouldn't watch nor play Pokemon. To this day, I have no idea what the incident it, but us kids did make up our own theories!
Oooh that's eerie and mysterious - I wonder what could have happened that led the adults suddenly changing their minds on the game... What kind of theories did you come up with?? So interesting! Thanks for sharing!
@@Aria.Inthavong The main story that was going around was that a boy had a Pokemon pencil and it suddenly stood up on the table in class. The boy also stood up on the table, in what seemed like a trance, and then tried to jumped off. Saying it now, it sounds a little silly, because it was kids that came up with it, but it was weird that all parents seems to suddenly hate Pokemon. They even stopped selling Pokemon cards and merch in my country.
noo bcs this creepypasta used to scare the shit out of me as a kid, it wasnt until i was 16/17 that i listened to the lavender town theme for the first time
Ashlea!! Yes, this is such an old creepypasta and it always creeped me out too! Were you creeped out when you heard the theme for the first time?
5:19 you can't encode images into the Gameboy sound chip/synthesizer. This part is so cringey creepypasta it hurts lol
Hahaha yeah totally, that is one of the many parts that I think just confirms that it's a creepypasta.
If this isn't creepypasta, the suicide part of the story can be that Japan has had high number of suicide cases for a long time already, especially with younger people. And if this happened in the 90s, mental health wasn't a recognized thing yet so they come up with stories why they must have committed suicide.
So I feel like they might be a coincidence that they played Pokemon and they committed suicide. These children might have been bullied in school.
Just a thought.
I USE THIS SONG IN A LOT OF MY VIDEOS OMG
Really?? I never caught it in your vids! I'll have to listen more closely next time. Maybe I'm just too caught up in your hypnotic narration 😍
my cousins used to make me listen to this and i used to get so scared and i would cry
It was indeed terrifying plus the fact it was intended to target children 😨
Yes! Even if it's just a creepypasta, it's definitely a terrifying one, particularly because of the children element!
SPOOKY!
SPOOKY LIKE MY LOVE FOR HER!
Until I find an interview of a Japanese child who had almost committed suicide from the music, I don't believe it. I mean the most I've had happen to me from listening to this music was a minor headache for a few hours.
The music kinda sounds like what you hear music festival
Oooh it definitely has that electronica feel for sure, Pauline!
2:59 Out of Context Aria Inthavong
Love your videos 😻
Your shirt is so coool
Thank you so much, Rei!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Cubone was my favorite Pokemon.
God Aria is adorable
AWW BLESS YOU THOMAS!! That makes my day!
3:45 i had chills, and i am 12!
Dude that's crazy
A wild story indeed, Gary!
I remember hearing this when I was 10
The music or the story? The story is definitely an old and classic one!
Did you were a purple sweater because it is called 'lavender' town?
Thanks for watching and commenting, Erin! Funny you should ask because lots of people on the Twitch chat were asking too (also because my lights were purple), and it was actually just a coincidence, haha! I should pretend like I meant to though...
Actually sounds real, and i got it when i watched this vid
Where did you get this sweater I need it
I'm glad you like it, Kelly! I got it off of Depop, so it was used, hopefully you can find something similar there!
All it did was give me a headache
What about Pokémon Yellow?
Good question Sakura! I don't actually know if they changed the music going into Pokémon Yellow, but I'm assuming they did since it came after Red and Blue made their way to the US and had the music changed.
@@Aria.Inthavong yeah, cause I was like “I know all four games may have similar music or one of it got changed.” But at least it’s good to know and thanks.
Big fan
I'm a big fan of YOUR kindness! Thanks for watching!
Aria looks so cute with his preppy chic outfit 🔥
Thank you!!!
Nice.
💜
💙
10:52 I thought you were 18. Don’t hate children already lol
Team Rocket are so queercoded that it’s disturbing but in theory, they are awful.
Oh interesting, never really realized they were!
