Today's blog post will be about Lavender Town from Pokémon. Lavender Town is one of the most well-known towns from the Generation One Pokémon games. This is because of how dark this town really is. Lavender Town is home to the Pokémon Tower, a place full of Pokémon graves and their grieving trainers. The town itself is said to be haunted, and one of the characters actually mentions seeing a white hand on the player character's shoulder while in the town. The town residents also talk about an orphaned Cubone whose mother, Marowak, was killed by Team Rocket who were trying to kidnap Cubone for its valuable skull. While in the Pokémon Tower, the player can encounter many ghost type Pokémon. However, these Pokémon can't be battled unless the player has obtained the Silph Scope. This makes it so the player is forced to run if they don't have a Silph Scope. Wild Cubone can be encountered in the Pokémon Tower as well. Multiple NPCs can also be battled in the Pokémon Tower. Along with all of this, Lavender Town has a recognizably eerie song for the background music throughout the town. This town also played a big part in the Anime special called Pokémon Origins as well. However, the storyline for Pokémon Origins simply followed the storyline for the game, almost perfectly. So if you want to check out an Anime version of this spooky town, go check out Pokémon Origins!
