Pokemon Lavender Town Superstitions: Myth or Reality? It is your birthday, in Japan 1996, and Pokemon Green just came out. You open your first present, a Gameboy with Pokemon Green; you turn the game on excitedly as Professor Oak exclaims, “Welcome to the world of Pokemon…” In the years following, rumors have surrounded this wonderful game of catching, battling, and fainting, a game of logic and strategy. Some of the most intriguing rumors involve Lavender Town, the graveyard in Pokemon. Pokemon experts have proven many of these rumors false such as the Lavender Town Syndrome, and Buried Alive, while other rumors like Gary’s Raticate are yet to be completely disproven. So, lets put some “Lavender Town rumors to rest, …show more content…
“I’m trapped…..and I’m lonely, so…very lonely….. won’t you join me?” is his supposed dialogue. After this, the game would freeze and under rare circumstances the character would see Buried alive say “Finally, fresh meat.” Alongside the image of the character being eaten.” said Josh Wittenkeller. When a player lost to“Buried Alive”he supposedly deleted data, and when you beat his Pokemon the save data corrupted and the game froze until you restarted the Game Boy . Josh Wittenkeller says this legend is known as a “CreepyPasta. ...the cyber equivalent of a scary campfire story or a hoax.” We know this is a hoax because, in the real game you fight a dead “Marowak” ,a type of Pokemon sprite a character that can be interacted with, instead. Also, no one has actual in-game footage of this event. One intriguing Lavender Town mystery, is “Gary's Dead Raticate.” In a normal battle between Pokemon, these critters don’t die, they only faint. Well according to the rumor, Gary’s Raticate, a Pokemon that looks like a rat, does die. In the original Pokemon games, aboard the ship, the S.S.Anne, you fight Gary and his Raticate, and you never see it again in the game. In Lavender Town, you confront your rival and fight him again…without his Raticate. Has it died? Possibly not. If you believe the rumor, it has. If you do not believe this you can believe it is in the storage system for all Pokemon, which is christened “Bill’s PC.” You can store

their old friend Professor Oak. It had been a long time since they last spoke to each other. As they neared the house, Ash could see Oak 's lab in the horizon. Whack! Ash was knocked forward by a sprinting figure with spiky hair who was also on his way to Professor Oak’s. The boy looked back and said, “Later, Ash”. It was Gary Oak, the professor’s grandson, and not one of Ash’s favorite people. Ash never liked the way Gary bragged. He seemed untrustworthy to Ash. “Hey, Gary!” Ash yelled as he started running after him. Ash wanted Gary to stop and answer some questions. When they both arrived at the doorstep of Professor Oak’s lab, Gary rushed in saying he couldn’t wait to tell his grandfather about meeting one of the four elite members the Pokemon League from Kalos Region. Ash asked which member it was. Gary said, “I don’t know, but his Pokemon were water types.” “It must have been Siebold,” Ash said in a perky voice and starting to feel excited for Gary. It’s not everyday that someone has the honor of meeting one of the elite. Ash said, “I wondered where he went after I beat him. So, yeah, I 'm the new champion of the Kalos region. That’s why I came to visit your grandfather, to tell him. ” From across the room came the sound of the professor’s voice. “I heard there was a new champion in Kalos, I just

Mr. Ketchum is a frequent patron of the illegal gambling dens in Kanto, and on multiple occasions, he has engaged in a vicious form of animal fighting, termed “Pokemon battles”. During Pokemon battles, rare species of animals are released into arenas and forced to savagely beat each other, while their trainers issue orders from the sidelines. The match ends only when an animal falls unconscious.
They frantically looked for somewhere to hide and came upon a cavern. Then, they ran into the cavern without hesitation. They waited in the dark, cold cavern for what seemed like hours but was only a few minutes. Prue pushed the two girls forward, and they began to walk out of the cavern because it was dark and they needed to get back home. They got right outside the opening, and Jane felt a breath on her neck. Then, everything went black.
I would imagine that the Pokemon go somewhere private to do it, but maybe it just happens spontaneously.
In medieval Europe, religion was an important facet of life. It was vital that people belonged to a faith and worshipped. During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, however, the Christian church began seeing people as worshipping incorrectly or worshipping things other than God. The Church, seeing this as superstition, decided to take action. Why was the Church so concerned over what they considered superstition, and how did it affect the people living during this time? During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Christian authorities grew increasingly concerned over superstition due to a fear of demons and worry that it would corrupt Christian society, which overall decreased the spiritual quality of life.
Before the time of geology, meteorology, and other sciences that proved phenomena, people had superstitions. More often than not, people believed in things like black cats bring bad luck or that witches could control elements. In the playhouses, people believed wishing someone “good luck” was indeed bad luck so, they told them to “break a leg”, which meant good luck. Everyone in the Elizabethan Era believed in some type of superstition, even the highly esteemed William Shakespeare. Superstitions were so deeply embedded into the mindset of everyone in the Elizabethan Era that they eventually worked their way into the play houses.
Various patrons of the Outskirt Stand gave the boy strange looks as he walked in with the rodent-like pokemon on his head. But money was money, so the owner had not problem letting him eat as long as the Bidoof didn't run rampant in the kitchen. Marron plopped
Contrary to popular beliefs, most Kanto residences believed that their latest beloved youngest Champion, Red, had holed himself up on top the snowy mountain of Mt. Silver. The Kanto Champion would gladly stick to that said belief if not for the face of his companions were making. Although not all of his Pokemon were protesting against the harsh weather that the mountain had prepared for them, but it was ridiculously hard to resist the pouting face of both Espeon and Pikachu combined.
“Great! Now we throw a pokéball at it...” Calem said to us, grasping a capsule in his hand. He threw it, spinning fast through the air towards the wild pokémon. It hit it smack bang in the centre of its forehead, and it took a step back, sightly dazed. The button in the centre of the black band released, opening up, sucking the pokémon in with a white light. The pokéball fell to the ground, bouncing a few times before lying still. Beside me, I heard Shauna suck in a

In the essay “In Defense of Superstition”, begins with an anecdote of someone going to the airport on Friday the 13th, claiming, “Will you still take the flight will all the omens screaming you shouldn’t?” Friday the 13th has been known to be a truly unfortunate day worldwide and despite this person doing all these superstitions will they be safe? Although there’s no scientific basis of superstitions being real, its not harmful to believe in them. It’s only unhealthy if you’re putting all of your faith in that single ideology; this notion can be compared to religion.
