![]() It is true, however, that the binaural headphone effect of the original music (before it was changed for the EU and NA versions) could cause headaches and potentially other issues. To summarize: Lavender Town Syndrome was not a real thing, and did not lead to mass suicides. I also pulled the original Shion Town (Japanese name) theme song, which is only 6:22 long, and confirmed that there is no strange ghost anomaly in the frequency graph: ![]() However, the Unown was not seen until 1999. The MIDI FrequencyĪ myth ( (1) (2) (3)) was started that there was an Easter Egg in the MIDI file such that the frequency track is in the shape of a ghost as well as Unowns spelling the words "Leave Now". In the American version, the MIDI was changed to single tone (I believe using crossfeed, or perhaps dithering), and the sound was tamed slightly. In 1997, an episode of the Pokémon anime ( YouTube) caused many seizures, which fueled the fire, but these two events are not to be confused. There is nothing paranormal going on here, though. It has spawned at least one creepypasta to my knowledge, and has definitely become a meme in its own right. But there is no evidence nor reports of a massive surge in child suicide as a result of this event, nor is there any substantial proof for these other reports. The music from Lavender Town in the original series of Pokémon games is notorious for its singularly eerie and haunting sound. Another said there were four deaths from children falling or getting chest pain from the intensity of the headaches. One source I found states that many children suffered seizures, and two were hospitalized. The real consequences of the music are not well recorded. Wikipedia does not cite any unusual suicides in the 1990s (except an increase in adults due to economic recession). However, there were not mass suicides over this. The way the theme's multiple channels ran together, many children in the range 7-12 received migraine headaches. The two would theoretically combine in the brain to form a unique sound. The original Lavender Town theme music was a MIDI that was run on two channels (this is called a binaural effect), so that children wearing headphones would hear one thing out of one ear, and one out of the other. This phenomenon was never mentioned on the anime itself, and did not really become well known until sometime around 2010. Unfortunately, the internet loves itself a good urban legend, and determining truth from fiction (especially for an event from 1996) can be very difficult. Fuji after clearing Pokémon Tower.No, Lavender Town Syndrome (LTS) is not real. Once you've completed the Pokémon Tower this is where Mr. There isn't much you can do in here on your first visit to lavender town. You'll need the Silph Scope, found in Celadon City, to get past it. Even if you clear the tower right now you won't be able to access the last floor, as there's an unknown ghost blocking it. There's a healing zone in the middle of the tower, so this is a great place to level up if you've got Pokémon who need XP. If you enter you'll find some psychic trainers under some kind of mysterious spell. You can't complete Pokémon Tower until you've dealt with Team Rocket in Celadon City, so feel free to skip this for now.
