According to the legend, Lavender Town Syndrome was born when about 100 Japanese children, from 10–15 years of age, jumped to their deaths, hanged themselves, or mutilated themselves a couple of days following the release of Pokémon Red/Green. Other children supposedly complained about nausea and severe headaches. “Officials” eventually discovered that children hurt themselves or felt ill after listening to Lavender Town’s background music. The urban legend states the original Lavender Town theme contains a high-pitched tone that compels kids to lose their minds. Since our ability to hear high-pitched tones diminishes as we age, young children are especially susceptible to the Lavender Town "curse." Some versions of the urban legend say the games’ director, Satoshi Tajiri, explicitly wanted the tone in the Red version of the game to “annoy” children who picked it over Green (the urban legend also offers up a long explanation for Satoshi’s supposed aversion to the color red thanks to violent encounters with school bullies). Almost every version of the urban legend accuses Nintendo of covering up the suicides to protect the Pokémon franchise’s innocence and popularity. The legend concludes that Nintendo altered the Lavender Town music for the English-language release of Pokemon Red/Blue, which is true. North America’s Lavender Town theme definitely sounds a bit less “harsh” and shrill than Japan’s, though it’s not at all unusual for a game's music compositions to change when it's localized for markets outside of Japan.
Don't believe any of this, it's completely fake and it should not be recommended to tell people that this is real. (Got it back lol)
