>>13929450Lavender Town never scared me either. Sure, there was always the dead thing going on with Pokémon tower, but I had always largely assumed that it was attributed to a darker and hallowed mysterious past of an otherwise small (if somewhat cheerless) town with peaceful people. Like Gettysburg in a sense.
I mean, if it weren't, you wouldn't have Mr. Fuji and the Name Rater hanging out there, and the Radio Tower wouldn't have been built in that spot in particular.
If anything, there were some really creepy things about Cinnabar Island. Oh sure, it's a lovely town on the outside with some cheerful music, but some meddling around, and you eventually probe deep into its dark heart: a Pokémon laboratory where scientists can resurrect the dead and, of course, the abandoned guts of Pokémon Mansion, the supposed breeding center for Mewtwo where unspeakable gene-splicing experiments took place involving Mew. Not to mention that a short time thereafter a freaking volcano destroyed nearly all of the island and only a handful of stragglers survived or remained.
TLDR: Fuck Lavender Town; Cinnabar's the creepy place.
