>>50658149>20+ years and brainlets STILL don't understand Lavender Town and think it's "le spooky town"The song isn't meant to be creepy, unnerving maybe, but not creepy. It's meant to symbolize and show grief and mourning. It's not meant to be scary, it's meant to be sad, the whole quest in the main series is you laying to rest the soul of Marrowak
Hence the change of tune for GSC and why the graves were moved and Pokemon tower was converted into a radio tower, it's moving on from the grief of loss and learning to move forward.
