I always thought, the Pokedex entries are just legends and lore, not facts.

The in-game professors treat it as an encyclopedia.

Beautifly and Gorebyss.

It has an aggressive nature. It stabs prey with its long, narrow mouth to drain the prey’s fluids.

When flower fields bloom, it flits around, collecting pollen. Despite its appearance, it is savage.

"Collecting pollen" may sound innocuous, but consider just how many Pokemon are living plants.

Gorebyss lives in the southern seas at extreme depths. Its body is built to withstand the enormous pressure of water at incredible depths. Because of this, this Pokémon’s body is unharmed by ordinary attacks.

Although Gorebyss is the very picture of elegance and beauty while swimming, it is also cruel. When it spots prey, this Pokémon inserts its thin mouth into the prey’s body and drains the prey of its body fluids.

I was creeped out when I found this in Black.

Let's not forget Junji Ito's collaboration with Pokemon:

That's some freaky stuff there.

Haunter will slowly kill you by giving you a lick.
Houndoom can burn you, and the pain will last for the rest of your life.

Is that Golbat tongue sprite for real? Which game was it in?

 

[bizzarewars]

Just look at it.

Green, same with the Exeggutor sprite.

That picture is also creepy.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

This thing for sure!

Otherwise ditto I guess? None are really creepy to me.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Regirock creeps me out because of the sound that it makes. It's so weird. Same with Regice

I actually don't know much about pocket monsters, but the first post monster is pretty disturbing, I actually didn't remember his name. I think it's the physiological fact that he resembles a clown and seems to act like one.

Grimer

this thing is nothing more then a living sludge pile containing a pungent cesspool of bacteria which is so toxic , everywhere this thing passes all plant life dies and nothing can grow their again ever .

Considdering this thing is usually found in servers it is not surprising that it is also covered in piss and shit which it also eats .

So it's a wonderful bacterial microbiome? Sounds like we have a lot in common with Grimers, actually.

Actually, I doubt there are any bacteria in Grimer, I doubt they would be able to survive the moon X-rays that flow through its body if plants can't survive it. Though several Pokedex entries mention the germs it leaves behind, I think this is referring to germs in the reproductive sense, since we know other Grimers spawn from those germs. It also explains why plants can't grow where a little baby Grimer is, because poison is super effective against grass.

I wonder if they use little bits of Grimer as a cleaner in the world of Pokemon, if it can kill everything from bacteria to plants. It probably works a lot like bleach.

Don't make posts like this.


Here, let me help you.

Ditto is creepy not only because of its status as a sex machine for other Pokemon and the fact that it can take the form of anything, probably including human beings, but because there are a number of shady theories regardings it origins and relations to other Pokemon.

So Ditto is basically a Bloodborne Old Hunters boss then

[Dreavus]

That Kadabra entry along with that bit about "humans and Pokemon being closer in the past" along with several human-like Pokemon in general... makes me think that the humans are ultimately some kind of divergent evolution in the Pokemon universe.

Hell, all the ancient powers and hidden gods are technically Pokemon, so maybe it's humans who are the aberrations.

Also that Ditto/Mew comparison is pretty awesome, never knew about that one.

"Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Oak! People call me the Pokémon Prof! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for fights. Some Pokémon are known to steal children. Others have snatched children away after hypnotizing them. Some Pokémon are actually human souls reincarnated into a cycle of sadness and despair, you might even catch the soul of your dead grandmother and force her to fight other creatures! If you try hard enough, you might even catch the maximum deity of our universe, the creator of it all, the omnipotent god itself, and make it the slave of a 10 year old kid, YOU! Myself… I study Pokémon as a profession. First, what is your name? Right! So your name is BADASS! This is my grandson. He's been your rival since you were a baby. …Erm, what is his name again? That's right! I remember now! His name is BUTTHOLE! BADASS! Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go!"

My brother decided to try out my old blue version the other day in Stadium 2 and he got trapped in hall of fame hell. As he kept going through the records, the music got stranger and stranger, recognizable songs, but the tempo was very slow. There were also moments where the screen would just completely turn black or red! True story. Very haunting and spooky.

Green, same with the Exeggutor sprite.

Actually those sprites are from Red/Blue.

Basically this

 

[Messofanego]

I didn't know Pokemon was so edgy. Maybe if the cartoon was as creepy as the descriptions here, I would watch it more. Heck, make a horror Pokemon film with the Junji Ito art style.

That's what's great about Pokemon! Even if you discard the spooky ghosts you still have stuff like Gorebyss which shows how brutal nature can be.

 

[JTripper]

Yeep.

Okay please shut this thread down we found the answer

 

[Crayolan]

Obviously Mr Mime.

 

[GreatNumber]

I want a hyper realistic Pokemon game now.

 

[Hidden One]

Almost choked on cereal. Thanks bub.

 

[DecoReturns]

All Pokemon are scary.

Thanks thread

 

[TriAceJP]

Well...?! Don't leave me in suspense!

 

[Teknoman]

I wish they didnt have such plain looking stances in game.

"If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving."

Just wow.

It follows.

 

[Toxi]

Missingno actually is pretty harmless though.

He's a total bro.

 

[Cday]

Lopunny

Yep. This fucking abomination.

 

[Emitan]

I haven't played the last couple Pokemon games (B/W 2 and X/Y), but there are Pokemon that used to be humans now? Pokemon designs and inspirations just keep getting dumber, yeesh lol.

Abra used to be human and its gen 1

edit: lol im super late

 

[Riposte]

Hypno

I wouldn't trust that thing around kids.

The only one that I was creep oit since a kid was jynx. I don't like humanoid Pokemons and here's why:

It allows this kind of shit.

At least it wasn't classic Jynx.

 

[Zexen]

I always liked Relicanth, looks like a grumpy old man/fish, I think it's design is great. Too bad he is just worth for the Golem.

Hypnotizes people to come forward and look inside its body. If they do, they get sucked in, and never get out.

That would be so cool.
Too bad it will never happen.
