No not really. For a while the hivemind got to me and I started to overhype the place, but no, after some rational thought, it wasn’t unsettling at all.

No. If anything it bored me.
I liked the name, I liked the music, but there's absolutely nothing to do there.

Never scared me, but yeah it felt really surreal with the setting the marowak ghost and the music. Really hate they removed all that in Gen 2

As a kid, the only thing I cared about was the fact that Lavender town didn't have a gym, which made me get bored of the place. I used to just see lavender town as 'that stupid place you have to pass to get to Celadon, it doesn't even have a gym it sucks'. I wasn't even interested in the Pokemon Tower.

I've never been good with horror and the such, but I never found Lavender Town unnerving. I could feel the atmosphere, and my imagination filled in the gaps of the town, but nah, not unnerving.

lavender town being so "zomg creepyyyy" is a meme that people perpetuate just to fit in and be one of the guys, the vidya equivalent of people jerking it about how sad the dog episode is in Futurama

When I was in elementary school I was actually scared to go into Old Chateau as a kid. That music was spooky.

I used to be a huge pussy though. Ruins of Alph pokegear also freaked me out as a kid cause I just didn't expect it.

Never really bothered me as a kid since it was just a game I guess. The ghost was kinda freaky but more in a "oh shit I didn't think I'd have to fight a ghost, that's bonkers" way.

This is the stupidest Pokemon-related meme ever perpetuated by fans. The original version never led to kids killing themselves and the Western released had a modified version that lacked the high-pitched frequencies of the original. So any Westerner claiming the music unsettled them greatly is just lying.

That a town. Cities are usually a bit bigger. The Pokemon world has an extremely low population, so big cities are rare.

You might as well say that it was also the first time in the games that it was confirmed that wild Pokemon live in tall grass or that it was the first time it was confirmed that you need Pokeballs to catch Pokemon.

No but the purpose of the town always seemed a bit morbid. Like does everyone in the entire country ferry their dead to one town?

Pallet Town = Small rural residential area
Pewter City = Older town built around a museum
Cerulean City = Cape town where tourists go, a dating hub (yet Misty can't get a boyfriend for some reason)
Vermilion City = Port city where ships go to and fro
Celadon City = Shopping district/ Vegas? Where you go to set your bank account on fire.
Saffron City = Business district. Silicon Valley type stuff
Fuscia City = Natural town built around its nature preserve
Cinnabar Island = Island research facility

Viridian City = ?
Lavender Town = ?????

Viridian City had the Trainer School, it's also a stop-off point for trainers who want to pass through Victory Road. And Lavender Town was where people buried the dead and paid them respect. I don't think it's that morbid, death is a natural part of life and most regions have some sort of graveyard area.

I found it extremely forgettable the first time I reached it on a emulator save not my own where i speedrun like three gyms on a single evening but at least i left the guy with a jolteon and very comfy on my leaf green run partly because i had some serious chuunibyou and had a self-insert OC from Lavender.
