>>713337627 (OP) Nah I just loved it. It was beautifully melancholic and the story of Cubone's mother was genuinely moving to 14 year old me. It was easily my favourite town in Kanto.

>>713337627 (OP) I don't remember any kids thinking this place was actually scary. What did scare us was hearing about a kid who fucked up the missingno glitch and bricked his cartridge since we all had boxes full of duped items and bugged pokemon and didn't know if they were ticking time bombs.

>>713338002 This. Everyone who experienced the song for the first time actually playing the game just remembers it as another piece of bgm.

>>713338321 Anon stop implying creepypasta is real it makes all the neurotypicals angry
>>713337627 (OP) Nope. The ghost creeped me out a little bit but that was it. The Electric Tale of Pikachu did a better job of making me more wary of Haunters.

>>713337627 (OP) The ghosts in the tower spooked me enough to make me try to get through it as fast as I could. I don't remember being scared of the town itself though.
We didn't. We felt it was a bit jarring compared to the rest of the soundtrack, but it was just the town where you could get Gastly/Haunter, which most kids would have on their team because Gengar is one of the best.
Zoomers were conditioned to find it "creepy" because youtubers tried to write ghost stories with it during the creepypasta fad.

>>713337627 (OP) Honestly, this is the shit that made me switch to sony. I want games to be a joyful and exciting experience, not put me on edge. Power to the players, not edgy sound engineers trying to scare me
>>713347474 Growing up in the 90s and living in a town that eventually had an abandoned Walmart after a WM Supercenter was built, I’ve found large empty rooms kinda exciting, wondering what you could fit in them. While I can see how kids these days would be spooked by them, I never completely understood it. I just see potential in empty spaces and not always in a business sense.

Back in the day i always played without the sound, i hated that beeping crap. There are so many gb/c/a games i played without ever hearing a single sound from it.

I miss the time when internet horror was made for fun and not for profit.
